Something True

The debris field of me is wide
wide enough to house a summer tide
come pouring spectacular into my life
come shaking like a foot across the surface of a knife

And the trip mine
slipped like the time
and sipped on my wounded tries
to case the August night
and chase down a healing light
set me anew
repair the picture frame and cover me in blue
that will do
the warming balm of something true

The denouement of lonely dreams
small enough to crawl through the seam
that runs like veins through the auburn night
and comes up for breath to taste the outpouring of light

And the trip mine
slipped like the time
and dips into the fountain of lies
to kiss the remaining light
bliss carved out of the softest night
set me anew
repair the dimming flame and color me in blue
that's the glue
that pieces me back into something true

Revelation
meet the revelator
the midnight player
with his cards close to his chest
too close to guess
what spirit of destiny has for me
in store
like a broken guitar in the window
of a second hand store
oh I will yearn to lively up you tonight
with just an out-of-tune strum
feel for the pulse of downtown light
that lights you up just right
darling one

The debris field of me is wide
wide enough to be a place to hide
go out sparking into the bluesy night
go out and sift through the wrong and right

And the trip mine
slipped like the time
and sipped on my wounded tries
to case the August night
and chase down a healing light
set me anew
repair the picture frame and cover me in blue
that will do
repair the dimming flame and color me in blue
that's the glue
that pieces me back into something true
I wanna see you be the warming balm of something so true

"So paint a circle in the sky, I lay breathless in the arms of love
There's a bruise on my back and a new understanding too"-Neil Finn

Gotta love the bluesy night, but it's the sifting through wrong and right that speaks volumes.

For me, your poetry is always something true and the reason why I am such a fan.
....your writing is the essence of these blue pages, it is passionate and endearing.

I'm just saying, it's all that!!!
