My love, come down
from the act of killing
the sincerely
of tributes.
Your cousin's
been jumping
on trampolines
of her own making,
like sweet devoted.
How rhyming
I have heard
is magically
unseen,
like spokes
in a bicycle's Tyre.
Fanatically
and rapidly,
on a pavement,
slamming pressure,
into opposed virtue
since days of our youth.

Verse 1:
I was like some orphan boy (girl) raised up wrong,
didn't know where to go, or what to feel,
roamin' down dark alleys till the break of day
till You Broke The Spokes Of The Devil's Wheel
Chorus:
You Broke The Spokes Of The Devil's Wheel
showed me a world I'd never known
You Broke The Spokes Of The Devil's Wheel
took my hand and you led me home
Verse 2:
I was headed straight in the wrong direction
one more lost soul never to be found
roamin' through those alleys of eternal pain
till you broke the Devil's wagon down
Bridge:
The Devil's wheel is rollin' through this land
but not for me, not for me,
you gave me the grace to understand
I can be free, and now I'm free,

engrossed in my book -
the tunes of playful robins
whir of wash-machine
the sunless dawn, spokes
atop oaks, pines and myrtles

Spokes
One of my favorite things to do use to be
to build a fire and watch the stars.
I did this as often as I could and each time
I was amazed by the magnitude of the Universe,
humbled by my insignificance,
but one warm Spring night I realized
the Universe would not be the same
without me, without any of us. We are each
vital to this dynamic force called life,
spokes in an ever-turning wheel,
connected at the center of the Universe.
