Taming of the Raw
Most everyone falls in love with raw and beautiful
whether it be a raspy woman or haunted forest.
We free fall because they're untamed and indifferent.
Bathed in shades of Vincent Green or Pablo blue.
The sable nature of a man is to tame wild things
the very things that made them unique and free.
We are greedy-want it all for ourselves -all the goodies
above and beneath...of course without fully committing.
We poke endless holes in the soil of the evergreen psyche
glean oil from the skin of earth-gems from pristine eyes
we trample the wild petal 'till it finally withers and dies.
The tighter we squeeze freedom, the more freedom flees
Mother bear devours the roughneck and explorer
the womans heart becomes calloused and fleeting
her heart bleeding out the blues and the greens
like a fiery midnight aurora.
