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
