Streamlining the Pain

You broke down barriers and set me free Like butter that melted for the cause You spiced up my life and flavoured me With delicacies from foreign shores Covered my head with jelly fish moulds Told me to dream then put me to bed Shaken and stirred with slivers of gold Showed me of blues that you have bled Standing for journeys to be undertaken Frozen in realms of art imagery Steadied in captured essence forsaken Venturing forth with wobbly knees Transformed forever this sculpture remains Not fearing the comforts of being at ease Framed like some unstable ocean wave Floating in silence on stormy seas I chuckled at the thought of innocence And almost forgot the meaning of fun Tickling the soles of benevolence As the dark proceeds to get swallowed by the sun Light will break free, let truth be told? Fresh water fish that will learn to fly There’s lots more beauty for us to behold Skipping along while ignoring the signs Becoming unflinching and slippery when wet Passing the points of no return Cross ponds and lakes with no regret Ending the saltwater freedom spurn Yet one thing still remains inept The innocence that I demonstrate Though prominent and very well kept Shall evaporate and recreate The ripple effect that's all but died In mushroom clouds far up above Soon flowing myself onto your insides To close the emphatic circle of love That is the fuel which keeps us sane I must admit that I emit a strange glow Whenever I’m standing outside in the rain I open my gaping being to swallow The musings as my lips come apart I welcome the showers that wet my plains It charges the vein that pumps my heart And cleans my canvas while drowning pains To liven the pastures with lushes of green Leaving me thinking of what next to do Ideally surfacing secrets unseen As I smile and cry in wonder of you
