Falling in love is a lyric and a prayer,
wings spread and talons sharpened.
I rip a hole in the canvass of the universe
and kick the door of time
of it's fucking hinges.
My own goddess worships the same goddess
of wisdom, lust and kindness.
She drew a comma on my face
for a thought yet to be continued.
And I could spend eternal night
tracing every single line
and laying down praise in the creases
of her underlying grace and benevolence.
Roadside souvenirs, landmarks and cornerstones;
Yesterdays aren't always worth remembering
But never slip the surface of contemplation.
Eventually they dissolve and return
into the gaping nothingness
from which they've been rising.
A glowing diamond white tiger
rests her weary head gingerly on my lap
and whispers in the echoes of the night.
We watch for falling stars in a patch of clover
To be loved and embraced by solace
is to be a glow humbled by your heroine.
To look at the entire past and reevaluate
great expectations.
I never gave up hope
I've held out openly for bliss
But after so much time
your eyes play tricks on you
Making you and your counterpart
both the wild red fern
and the brightest stars of the dope show.
