Caught between
The depth
and the gaping hollow
In between
The surface
cold and peaceful
unfulfilling
The danger lurks beneath
I reach out
Take my clammy hand
We meet eyes
And I see in the reflection
The green grey shame
Of rejection
Then I realize
It is I that swims
Under
On the other side
Look at the painting
It is nothing but paint
Look at the paints
The tools of creation
The artist looks at both
The Artist looks in the mirror
To witness the creator
The creator knows the artist
Is made of matter like the paint
Blend the paint with consciousness
To create the illusion
I have a friend who’s beautiful
Everything in the right place
At the right time
Every head looks her way
Her teeth sparkle
and her hair shines
But trends are fickle, and bodies change
Attention fades with age…
One day she came to me
Wilted and afraid
How do I feel when no one looks my way?
When no one opens doors, or smiles
my efforts are in vain
I said
To me, it’s just another day
It’s just another day
Another day of freedom from the eyes
of lust or shame
I said, to me
It’s just another day
How do I feel when
No one asks me about my day
Or gives me compliments
Or remembers my name
I said
To me, it’s just another day
It’s just another day
I see you running away
So fast you outpace
But then you sit and you wait
Until the moment’s afoot
You get up and you book it
You book it
So far away, bird’s eye view of fate
Yet you’re stuck and frustratedIt’s time that you waited
participate
In the present, partaking
In the moment, in the making
Your Joy is like flint
Igniting the spark that will hint
at the path, start
The flame for your spire
tend to your fire
A bit of kin-dling to inspire?
Each moment
One by one you re-wire
Until you’re geared for desire
Put a saddle on your fate
And meet your destroyer
Hello frenemy
Are you the one I need
Are you the missing piece
To my invisible army
What skills do you bring to the fight
Match my wit, cut me down
Join my Friendship swiss army knife
Can you tolerate my arrogance
Yes I think myself intelligent
Care to play a game of preferences?
I’ll knock you down to size
But I’ll keep you by my side
I won’t let you down
I’ll be your leader from behind the scenes
Pulling all the strings
Until it all falls back on me
Collapsing my strategy
Into the chasm of my heart
The abyss of my mind
Hello fenemy
You’ll be my best and worst
Welcome to the group, the cursed
If you’re looking for power
Join the ranks and the thirst
I’ll quench it first
