Forever is too long

Under fantasies sky I wonder.
On a leaky boat of derision.
I wander the thunder of blunder.
On rivers of indecision.

The light through the trees shows ill at ease
Barbed wire stores and crawls on the ground
And though I squeeze and please and appease
Seems to me an eternal surround.

I never get past the thorns to the rose
Though I've dared every shadows cover
I've tried every way God only knows
Yet I fail in the act as a lover.

Worn a frazzle with razzle, dazzle
I'm dizzy from the toll of my goal
The mirror has cracked from the bedazzle.
My soul is lost in the black of the hole.

I seemed to have fallen into a pit
And I'm still falling, seems no end to it.

Ah Sy...I think at least once, you touched the rose...

good morning, good friend...

Forever is a long time Seymour and I wouldn't bother to take that route...I'd just hop on the naked man train and leave myself out to exhibit...after all I know I don't have anything to lose nor gain and someone who's pretending to be something they're not won't be looking at that train passing by...they'll want to know who owns it....it's not easy to do and it's not hard to resist (easy way out) but it's even harder going without...that's my story and I'm sticking to it....ethome

me think ya need a soft place to fall  
me thinks Sunshine speaks the truth
me sends ya smiles and *winkies* and a rose...
I took off the thorns

I looked into the sky for my anthem
The words and music came through
But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen
Looking into you
