A Resplendence Knight

leaving my destitute pocket filled with her own dusty words she is a student of the unnatural behaviors so its no surprise to find her on hands and knees as she rakes the barren carpet between us for the scrapmetal shavings of my many colored beast as it sweats profusely in the close quarters screamfest of my mind personally i give the carpet a once over for conversational pieces a resplendence knight of such shining armor i search for deeper meaning in the darkest depth of her laundry bin cause know i could just as easy be the reviled stain as i am the cardboard king my broke down chevy just another hunk of detroit steel so she and i wrestle into the night over the tea kettle cast off's lay me down by the river where the wild boys go where the summer birds sing sweetly in the thicket and in the sun while the waters flow swift and clean cool to the hand dipped in by traveling man close your eyes neath shady tree on the sandy banks let yourself slip into thinking of the long ago of the far away the remembered faces come back like a tender song only the heart knows the remembered years that fall silent like snow in the hearts darker places these strings that bind you to your desires are one in the same as thouse that tie you to your fate kind or cruel
