Arte Soy

I’ll pen you a song and it won’t take long
(it could take all night if you’d sing along)
It’s a little ditty and it goes like this
just scoot on over and I’ll give you a kiss

My time flies as the day’s demise
is the night’s opening eyes
See me and you, you and I
go bye bye, baby, bye bye

The train rolls on and on we go
another stage and another show
Reaching high from down below
revealing truth as best we know

When the curtain’s closed and the self unveiled
let us take a deep inhale
And lay together and together wail
and together sail for distant shores
Though we know not what’s in store
and the waters may at times be rough
like rhyming off one’s very cuff…

My mind stalled, my bluff called
I do not wish to bore
So with these words I bid ado
and to you I do implore
Let us be, do, and have, dear one,
for and from the core
Love, harmony, and bliss
GALORE!!!

The morning’s cool praise
I sing to thee
as I look through windows at frost in the grass
Lizards basking in the sunlight,
spread like shirts on a line,
a beautiful woman walks by
and a message from a friend comes unwrapped

You are by far the most glorious of highnesses
a beatific morning,
oh parting fog
how I sing with my socks on
and stretch in the light
humming the prayers so innately
stitched to the insides of my mouth

Mint water and honey roll down my throat
cooling my heart,
decreasing its pressure,
lightening its weight
so that it may float up in my chest
A soft white thing,
a moth in my ribcage,
fixed yet floating,
seeking fragile light

I stretch outside my window
and hear drums within my joints.
the beat beneath my feet,
the tide’s incessant beckoning,

reeling me back in
