I've not edited this and possibly won't (going by my track record). It was very exciting to find so much in the picture that inspired unusual phrases. Apologies I've left in plenty of dud lines but think there's the odd good one in there. Something different for a Sunday morning and I almost wrote about flowers haha, not quite though :)
Too much to know, I just don't know it
As I fumble around, just a humble poet
Frustrated as I watch unfurl a show
I just don't know it, too much to know
Answers are near, in the palm of my hand
It's nobody's fault that I can't understand
Incomprehensible nature can instill fear
In the palm of my hand, answers are near
I look on with intent, with sense of knowing
Disconnected in a way from the thoughts flowing
On the tip of my tongue, I'm on the scent
With sense of knowing, I look on with intent
I mirror it all, enough to blow my mind
Then blank screen, nothing to find
Did I rest on a ledge, view then fall?
Enough to blow my mind, I mirror it all
Suddenly I'm scared, don't like what I see
There's no turning away, I'm staring at me
It's like looking could cause one to be ensnared
Don't like what I see, suddenly I'm scared
There's still sun and sky, backdrop in tact
I was running on empty, mixing fiction with fact
Unearths strange emotions when eye to eye
Backdrop in tact, there's still sun and sky
Just consider my make up, yet try not to dwell
Or get lost in a world of an unwishing well
Like divining all from the leaves in a cup
Yet try not to dwell, just consider my make up
Things crawl out of sight, enter by stealth
Am I all that I am or a composite self
There's no comprehensible logic, try as I might
Enter by stealth, things crawl out of sight
The connection to things, inexplicably true
Resonance of rain, innate recognition of you
They dwindle quickly these threads and strings
Inexplicably true, the connection to things
With the glass in-between, gets too warm inside
With shortness of breath and need to run and hide
Exit the hot house before too much I glean
Gets too warm inside, with the glass in-between
I try to dress ornate to set self apart
I sense beating or mimicking of more than one heart
I'm a tangle and mishmash, confusion of fate
To set self apart, I try to dress ornate
If all things renew, but what memories last?
Is there a point in time when permanence cast?
Or one chance only and it's that that I blew
But what memories last if all things renew?
Interconnected, superhighway on heat
On the cusp of elation, then suffer defeat
It's centrifugal fulcrum, no wonder affected
Super highway on heat, interconnected
Broken magnetics, attract and repel
So we salivate over ideas of heaven and hell
Seek deeper meaning, yet distracted by aesthetics
Attract and repel, broken magnetics
Why am I writing, when I fear I'm a bore
Hermit intentions mean crave company more
Constantly battle with self, so tired of fighting
When I fear I'm a bore, why am I writing?
Stick to the lines, notice square or rounded
Simple concepts within which truth compounded
Let eyes glaze over, seeing too much blinds
Notice square or rounded, stick to the lines
When everything's veined, tell me what then?
When the age old is too old, do we all start again?
Forget me not discolours yet memory ingrained
Tell me what then, when everything's veined?
Gently we tilt to the sun, awash with emotion
Soothed body and soul when relinquish self to devotion
I cannot explain this story I've spun
Awash with emotion, gently we tilt to the sun
Thyself needs to cleanse, weighed down by the cycle
Choose guide well, good advice comes from Michael
There's miracles existing in the power of friends
Weighed down by the cycle, thyself needs to cleanse
I'm not back to the start, just lost in the middle
Unaware of the question but attempting the riddle
Getting too close hurts, it really does smart
Just lost in the middle, I'm not back to the start
