Like You

LIKE YOU
It’s one a dem dar days darlin 
Ridin the rails thinking tomorrows on the horizon 
Easy… 
Like a king in a full house and winning 
Sneak a Look up instead to sky 
And learn a thing 
Or two 
So 
Lessons taken and light acknowledged 
Denial is (brutal but yes) acknowledged 
Beauty… 
Pearl in a shell, light for the distanced 
Instead I came I saw I thought, I lied I 
Like you 
Cannot deny the stars they’re fixed 
For the sailor, always for the thinker, maybe the tailor 
Like you

More Is Better

MORE IS BETTER

In a more solid space in a more solid place
I would open my mouth to speak
With a ransom of roses without any poses
I would open my arms to heal

But here in this place, there are just gestures of joy from women and boys
And so I open my mouth and open my arms
Sing a song and take

In a more even race with a much better pace
I would stretch my legs out and fly
With only champagne and smoke and sharp crystals of hope
I would open my mind and heal

But here there are clouds with clout and much time to go without
And so I open my mouth and open my mind
Recite an anthem to break
