Tolerance for a short time

I am always attracted to writing chunks of life, but not then to bring together, but in some romantic way that defies belief.

Put together in my usual leggo, or sometimes legetc fashion.

Light a light echoing song to blend your pain to a good vibrant life
Light freedom echoing your soul to bear no malice
Light echoing your stretching your bed to match you
Light echoing your joy at life

She always did like flowers
The Park nevered missed them
On friday nights fish
No matter where I left them
I was always home early
And locked up behind me
I never woke her up
Nor did I let dawn blind me
I always limped on saturdays
Back of the calf for sure
Spinning in the disco
Doing my encore
Giving off the steam
Fooling no-one but me
That I was the greatest
The world has even seen

Rippling chimes of wind
Whistle oblivion to persona
Preserving ego and façade
Of moments of pleasure
That courage regrets
Enjoying
Crescendo

The activity of magic
Seeking exaltation
And fear
Doomed to wander the world with the power
Of ignorance and to propagate it

To inanimately pulse life
To goals
Reminded by the future
Foretold by the past
Described by the present

I wash in the rain
Your tempest rules again
Your voice is lost in the night
I close my soul it's wet
All you do is vex
And sing on my sin for all it's worth
I wanted it pure and clean
With you I'm told obscene
You snatched your mind from me
For all to see
Now you say come back
And tell them I'm some slack
And how you took me in
For all to see
Well you wont have me now
The storm has showed me how
And freedom was it's gift to me
Now I should chase you
Why the hell should I race you
You're not the girl the world thinks it has seen

"She always did like flowers

one of my favorite lines
I've always been a flower picker
