Your wavering my reward

In my tardiness I know you’d be there
Waiting into yourself w/eyes closed
Turning inward into everything
Creatures of routine
Change it for a while and feel a little loss
Each finding freedom in the space between
Finding each other
My soul seeks you out among the multitudes
Intuitively hide from it, like shading your eyes from the sun
There’s no escaping me
Hide inside and come to the end of yourself

When your humility catches up w/ your vain pretense
I already feel your regret
Burning like a middle age fever
(By then my cowboy would have ridden by
Pulling me on his saddle)
So I take the sunset credits rolling
Stash that sunset in my back pocket
Your wavering my reward

The Glen of Me

No choice but to sleep
No choice but to hope in the best
No choice but to work for others and deny myself the rest
The best is to wait
Not force the hand
But if I had the power I’d put my mouth on yours
Breathe into you, make you understand
Close enough to smell the mix of beast w/ human
Take it from there, savoring skin
Let you get as ravenous as me
Surprise you w/piety
Teach you of divine fidelity
Have you be the hunter in the glen of me

Your nice to admire for a while

Your nice to admire for a while, long enough to do the trick
But to really make me tick, let’s be real
These hints that you’re so superior, open my inner umbrella
I’ll outlast the next vanity downpour
Until the Other arrives and finds me in his eyes just fine

Pour salt on my wounds and it tickles
Inflame me w / your lack of substantial response
Keep this up and the warrior paint appears
I’ll take you down like an ancient tree, climb on your trunk
Breathe forest fire onto your cool leaves
Blacken you w/ scars of lightening
Lose your leaves, lose all sense of the season
The reason it all had to end this way
Make you into my campfire
Warm me until the morning and be nothing but the next day’s ashes

Like Jesus I’ll curse the fig tree that refuses to produce fruit or shade me
Useless tree, so full of himself
So sure of his own coverings
I pity your bride unable to really cover
Really be enough comfort to one so clever

School Girl BF

I cherished you like my own self
Adored your quirks, marveled at your uniqueness
Defend you against clueless jerks, while loving your faults w/tenderness
I gladly shared w/you my own lover
Nursed your firstborn as my own
My best friend, co-conspirator
I miss singing w/you most of all
The mt drives to nowhere
Just singing stuck in a cloud of harmony
I miss how you really knew me encouraged the potential in me
I left after your lies, just admit the truth and I’d never leave you
Forever champion you
Lie to me the last time, give me no choice after so many times
