Passion in waves, intense they pummel

Rolling me over & over & over.

A pleasant clearing with lots of grains
but only a touch of water,

For awhile now
I’ve thought mostly only 
Of memories of you and me
I know what I feel

While others prefer a more genteel amble
Some only content with vertiginous drop
To parry and conquer on their way to the top

Two steps forward then slide one back
The hardest way up,...

Went to the well and the well was dry

So what shall I do, oh me, oh my

Locked unknown antidote to amp the mode 
Clamped-n-sewn your stamp will show 
Plan it slow in a long tramp you know
Boat the load and camp your stow
Go for broke...

life at times feels so hard
so much going against you
everything around you so dirty
looking for a filter to be true

Everywhere you look is clogged up

Listen, what do you hear?
the clank of coins dropping
someone hit the jackpot

The quiet murmur of voices
sound of dice rolling
a sense of tension in the air

Flipping of cards
