Most annoying thing the body produces
Is eye gunk to me it's downright useless

smoothness
imbued with character
his essence
imbedded deeply
in every crevice
sweet oils
of everyday labor

the hard patina
of life

Closing my eyes I lie;
My breath exhales in a sigh;
The music in my ears,
Lubricating my cerebral gears;
My head sinks into the pillow,
Deep into limbo I wallow

Sucked into a singularity-
Where no cogitation shall prevail;
Peace sans ail.
Lost in the words, in the voice;
Tumbling amid blues and joys,
Falling, falling down the rhyme
For a infinitesimal infinity of time....

- Brother in arms

Each one is for the other...
For the love of life.

- Lessons learned
Old remedies told,
Lubricating body and mind...
True strength from within.

Symphony of misery, frightens the air.
In the eyes of your love....
