Electric Horse

love..

heh
�
not an easy thing for this man...
to get back on that saddle
and straddle the random
topsy-turvy tumultuous torrents
that has once left him open �
and vulnerable..
exposing hidden crack and flaws
those emotional hang ups
and all those egotistical chips
lingering on shoulders
the kind that �
don't brush off that easy
�
yeah...
not so easy
�
cuz he remembers �
how freely he opened up to her �
and how she did him greasy
with a beautiful smile
she deceived him �
betrayed all that he believed
was real between them
toying with the heart he wore �
proudly on his sleeve
knowing damn well she would leave him
hanging..dangling in the wind
as soon as her plan A finally �
showed his face
�
�
takes

�
......time �
�
�
..............to trust �
�
�
again
�
�
not just another woman
but himself
cuz memoirs of that nasty fall
caused a lot of second guessing
and left a deep bruise �
invisible to the viewing public
no one knew about the internal bleeding
or the nights spent home alone
refusing phone calls
too proud for sympathy
clumsily applying homemade remedies
only to find that after all
that alcohol he consumed �
it would only serve as �
a temporary numbing agent
�
the pain was sure to
return..
�
first thing that morning
like clockwork
back to the mourning
with the scorning so fuckin scathing
like a pendulum slashing away
meticulously �
methodically
left aorta ...right aorta
left ventricle..right ventricle
left worn out
feeling like Davy Jones
wishing he could just rip his heart out
and bury it..along with the axe
he didn't want to pay the tax
that love was seeking to exact �
upon him..
�
but like karma
love is gonna collect love's due
�
so he paid the toll
and the lessons stayed ingrained
within his soul
as intellect and intuition
became the guiding principles
nurturing a heart that was destined
to regenerate and love again
...feel again
and yeah...he may fall again
or maybe not
�
but whatever the case
thorough and honest discourse
within his inner
has steadied him..thus readied him
to once again brave the bucking
of that electric horse
so let the chips fall where they may
win lose or draw
through it all..he'll still be ok...
