fantasy that lives in my inner harbour
I dare not speak it
it slits me phobically
so I surround it with deepness.
I pray to the universe every time it shifts
that this event turn will never come to exist
simple temptation
and the resulting inebriation
I would burn it all down
just to fail again again again
and I then I would learn how to win
this lifetime it would take me
but promises broken, and the promise that makes me
and it stains my achilles
for only a glimmer
even though I've relinquished winter
I have not felt warm since.
please please please no.
(and let me linger with imagined yes)
I am the son of transience.
Limping towards tomorrow, leaning on a caffiene crutch.
Another house, another flight, another impulse.
I am a celebrity of memories
I stay around long enough to get bored
Then tradewinds point towards foreign ports
I am so found in the lost.
Tired of ashing forests I seek a fireplace-
that I will never find.
I get what I need, remember?
What I want does not want me.
And even the wanting is daunting.
I want my cake and so buds the tongue.
I seduce, take, taste and I'm flung
into the orange of the next setting sun.
Opportunity has keys, so it knocks no longer
The catalytic arrow pointing to wander
How do I no, when I yes before I think
Chasing greatness with less
and nothing to show
yet the growth remains like circles under my eyes.
