Note to self (23)
it is your burden
It is your load
It is your calvary
It is of your own
Making.
Assume.

Great years
Listening to the Mammas
And the Pappas
You gotta go where
You wanna go....
Back in the sixties.
Great years, great songs
realized how severely
I blew it
Or maybe not,
Careless as i was
And the Pappas
You gotta go where
You wanna go....
Back in the sixties.
Great years, great songs
realized how severely
I blew it
Or maybe not,
Careless as i was

My shell
I enshroud myself
within a shell
a feeble shell
of strength
and carelessness
because I’m afraid
of a mighty fall
of losing all
the love I try
so hard to harness
within a shell
a feeble shell
of strength
and carelessness
because I’m afraid
of a mighty fall
of losing all
the love I try
so hard to harness

Reflection - with LilDragonFly
..transform me sweet dark
beautiful nightingale
lighting my lantern
with my quill's ebony
of silent ink
so that I can see you
bleed through the page
take off the masque
deflect the reflection ...

reflection
the mirrors reflection
versus her own perception
she just wishes she could be definition
of perfection.

Detached
Can you understand?
The weightlessness of the soft sand
That pours through your veins
And enters your brain, only to find it
Detached.
The weightlessness of the soft sand
That pours through your veins
And enters your brain, only to find it
Detached.

Obscured
Obscured and vague
Hidden in clouds
In a mist of gray
I'm lost
Strayed along the way
Lend a helping hand
Dampen this fire
That rages in my mind
Hidden in clouds
In a mist of gray
I'm lost
Strayed along the way
Lend a helping hand
Dampen this fire
That rages in my mind

Gallo's
I feel
a tightening
in my throat
as I take
those thirteen steps
and I watch
the sunset
wondering if
I shall
see it rise
a tightening
in my throat
as I take
those thirteen steps
and I watch
the sunset
wondering if
I shall
see it rise
