Ya Got Me

Blood shot eyes falling to the floor Always due to wanting more Cascading lips speak of pleasure Whispers digging for treasure Turmoil is water from which I sip Scales of life slowly tip Over onto their side As this mirror tries to confide Grasping for site With wings of flight Holding the hands of night and day Trapped by what fate decides to say Unsure of everything That nothing may bring This chorus I sing With this puppet on a string Notes ring and rhyme within my head Sent from voices who are dead Conjured love everlasting Inside verbs continue fasting Perhaps the last of the first Decorating with pebbles in a Hurst Pictures hung with silence of wisdom Inside the lines I've missed them Gone array they carry away Teeth that dance and sway Chatter and play in fields of distance Snapshots of my conscience in resistance Futile wishes with kisses felt Melting sorrow from knees always knelt Glories praise prayers of pondering Walk with me down this road of wondering Casting ripples inside this lake of stone Narrow shoulders with fragile bones I spy the lie im trying to find Shoved away swept aside behind
