Tolerance for a short time

First time I've tried to put these ideas together - needs a lot of work, but doesn't pay the mortgage.

I dont know whether you are honoured or what with the idea of words that bespoke words that speak words that will

above all else

be words

in all their 'worth'

no matter how

Dave

In the music of your words
I can not speak of the fire between us
I can not speak of the glory of raising our hands together to heaven
I can not speak of knowing you
If we did we would burn briefly
If we do not we will burn forever
On a mountain
Hillside
On a rough life
Millside
Bloodshed like a book
On your hide
Asking questions
Spear in the raw
Hide

An autumn wind laments around
The love of your heart
And peace is never in your heart
Or loving treasure strewn
Though autumn winds may swoop and die
Your heart still stands unmoved
As icy winds grip your veins
My smile to you is chewed
Take time, take time in your mind
And the gardens that you roam
Take peace, take peace
Take bread and water
My loving treasure strewn
Though autumn winds may swoop and die
A love of mine alone
Singing hushalulalulalula
Singing hushalulalulalula

Take time take time take time
And find
In the gardens that you roam
Take peace take peace
Take bread and water
My loving treasure strewn
Thugh autumn winds may swoop and die
A bird of love alone
Singing hushalulalulalula
Singing hushalulalulalula

Rustling touched a bent blade of an idea whistling over ground to caress wildness and vision

Sky fast flowing black blue moving wind of a picture in dark night's dream

Friendship light bantering determined words of use

Nights of talk never repeated never majicked but there for a moment

Lies, use, sensual dreams destroyed by dreams

Movement flowing forgotten unknowing challenge to harden desire

An evening of wishing that was never there to an evening of planning that was there to a day that forgot

A world of time that took minutes to decorate years for their own seconds

Of Majick Midnight


Dave

"In the music of your words
I can not speak of the fire between us
I can not speak of the glory of raising our hands together to heaven
I can not speak of knowing you
If we did we would burn briefly
If we do not we will burn forever"

this
stands by itself
what a way to burn
