Drop Me Off
Drop me off on an island
where coconuts dangle sweetly
where the ghost of lost love
pirouettes on a moon kissed beach
A hut made of palm leaves is all i need
a jug band with a chorus of gulls
and blue crabs on the strings
for the first time in a long while
i'll take the lead
seduce the siren's that sit smugly
upon the reefs of the mind
Drop me off on an island
away from war and abortion..
where golden fillets
glitter delightfully on palm leaf plates
where shadows slide over shoals
fanning silver edged chapters
to the drum beat of gentle fates
Drop me off on an island
before its to late
before my soul turns gull throated white
where the stars etch the years
into the heart of the loneliest night
Drop me off on an island
had my fill of wild fires and goblins
drop me off on an island
the furthest one from the mainland..
far from the wreckage of man's
bloody muzzled carnival ride.
