Streams

It races along
Gurgles
Rages
Surges
Cascades
And yet
It's mild in some places
It's deep
Clear
Unpolluted
Inviting

I could sit beside your stream of consciousness
for a long while.

Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle

Your eyes stop me in my tracks
and my breath slips out of my grasp
when the
corners of your lips start turning up
they do the same to mine

Your hair up against my cheek
is a honeysuckle summer by a creek
There is
nothing I have ever known that's half as wild
and so serene as being with you girl
if only for a moment

So
take
me to July
and
make
the summer sky
break
I swear that I
am yours
if you will have me
and I'll still let you be wild
flower
Honeysuckle

Your laugh lingers in my ears
like the sweetest lullaby a baby hears
Let me
listen to the music
in the timbre of your voice
I have no choice but to believe in magic

So
take
me to July
and
make
the summer sky
break
I swear that I
am yours
if you will have me
and I'll still let you be wild
flower

Take
me to July
and
make
the summer sky
break
I swear that I
am yours
if you will have me
and I'll still let you be wild
and I will still be wild
Honeysuckle

Lion

"What can man do against such reckless hate?"
"Ride out with me; ride out and meet them"

-LOTR, The Two Towers

Lion

There is fire inside of this soul
there's a message
A discord that's out of control
mercenary
An animal caged
there's a lion enraged
and the tethers are starting to strain

Give me something to fight for
I am a force to be reckoned with
I have a strength
and a will
and a clenched fist
put in my heart a direction
and I will deliver your flag
in a moment
