foolish heart
Posted: August 11th, 2017, 6:24 pm
tremors of time
cream along the earthquake
full of ripples
he shows me a wrinkled photograph
spider veins of moments
years of squiggly lines in and out of the heart
road-maps without X's
in the shadows of my dark eyes
I can't go back, I can't move forward
but I can love the shit out of the middle
with everything I got
living in the sunshine of only today
and it ain't so bad, no it's pretty fucking great
absorbing this very moment
like that very first sip of columbian
after the aroma of a dark-roasted dream
that first glimpse
of the morning sun pushing its face
out of the ocean, gives even a jerk like me
hope enough for a foolish heart
I hear there's a great view from the watchtower
the house of the rising sun
winks and nods fall away
as the clouds move to the side
cream along the earthquake
full of ripples
he shows me a wrinkled photograph
spider veins of moments
years of squiggly lines in and out of the heart
road-maps without X's
in the shadows of my dark eyes
I can't go back, I can't move forward
but I can love the shit out of the middle
with everything I got
living in the sunshine of only today
and it ain't so bad, no it's pretty fucking great
absorbing this very moment
like that very first sip of columbian
after the aroma of a dark-roasted dream
that first glimpse
of the morning sun pushing its face
out of the ocean, gives even a jerk like me
hope enough for a foolish heart
I hear there's a great view from the watchtower
the house of the rising sun
winks and nods fall away
as the clouds move to the side
