5 damn minutes

Post by the mingo » May 1st, 2012, 11:56 am

things most often
go convoluted beyond unraveling
just when all you need
is the straightest of lines
not forever or even all day
just for five minutes
five damn minutes
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

Yes! Just five damn minutes.
Thank you, mingo.

measuring my time
weighing time indifferently with the things that normal people expect from you every day throwing a sack of rocks on my back of responsability
that if i just dont freak out maybe things will lighten up
those five minutes can be hours with that sack of rock on my back
but inside what i once thought was rocks
was only thoughts i carried like rocks when i went there
one day

seems like five minutes ago
value the time you have
i hear it often
so with this moment
i breathe
way better than last month
my hair was shorter then
that was when i was with
when i lived in that house....
when he loved me
when i loved him
when she hated us both
all times
of five minute decisions
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
