A number of my works have been inspired by complicated and often times detrimental relationships with people. Here is one inspired by a sort of odd affection.
He’s a home-wrecker,
I swore I’d never be.
But do I hate myself more?
I’m spontaneous,
wild,
a romantic,
a bohemian revolutionary;
but there’s no class or elegance left.
Perhaps in the word of a genius,
“Wise beyond my years,”
Where do I find you in my life?
What page?
I didn’t lie you’re a proper legend mate,
another chapter,
be my bird,
no, be you.
I’m dangerous, an enigma,
normal, drugs,
alcohol, medication.
I’m not sick but I am,
I’m not normal but more than a schizophrenic.
Psychology. Maybe it is just a cigar.
I want to grab you,
pull you close and throw back my head,
reach high and far to the sky,
but I know the fall is long and hard and my neck will hurt if I look up for too long.
So I’ll stare straight ahead and keep moving,
move to the rhythm and beat of everyday life.
I wont be compelled to look back because I know if I do for too long my neck will hurt.
