Longer Days Deeper Trouble
You are glistening
Upon a eloquent design
I claim it…it’s mine
Paint me a brighter day
without gluttony…
without trouble
I’ll be captivated in an
everlasting utopia
Look! Here comes a beam
from the sunshine
I claim it…it’s mine
Glistening
Captivated in
Complete delusion
Deeper trouble occurs…
The day grows longer
I can’t stand it
any longer
It’s as hectic as ever
this weather
Isn’t what I endeavor
I don’t have much
To hang on to
Just to be true
I’ll always appreciate you
Your adoring aroma
Caught in a glimpse
of fantasies
catches my nightmares
and places all my fears
in a fond jar
I disappear
in a despairing tide
falling…failing
helplessly…
hoarsely…
unsaved against
a river of mellowness
earning a kiss
from the wild east
at last…seeking my feast
Slowly and steady
Do I watch the waterfall
pass away as the years
slip away…drying up inside
Fix the faucet
and deny the tundra
and shroud me as an umbrella
Disappear into a superb dream
Work as a team
drown the misty waters
Bring me to life
Are you looking for trouble?
Watch the day expand…double
Work as a team
Circulate around a mist of dreams
and drench the nightmares to disgrace
Are you looking for trouble?
Watch the day expand and double
Patiently…unsteadily,
I wait for a vibrant day,
feeling sporadic…
ripping away the sweltering
irregular expansion
Are you looking for trouble?
Watch the day expand and double
Slowly and steady
Do I watch the waterfall
pass away as the years
slip away…drying up inside
I’ll suggest you wait awhile
to wash up the longer days
and decreasing the deeper trouble
I disappear ultimately
in a despairing tide
falling…failing
helplessly…
hoarsely…
unsaved against
a river of mellowness
earning a kiss
from the wild east
eventually…
seeking my feast
gliding against
a most mellowest
Tide
