and don't give two damns
life often fringes on death
after all it wouldn't be life.
Fighting for survival
on a rainbow road
made of multicolored dreams
smashed to bits and pieces
all you can say is
wow.
It's not so easy when the past
catches up to you
and the lovers that keep hiding
inside of your head come up
for air.
Light glares off the gravel
coloring the walls of the houses
as you pass by each one
and it makes you wonder
about the could and should have been's.
Like a pilot light that's blown out
that let's the whole place fill up
with gaseous emissions
just waiting for that one spark
to blow everything up.
So is my mind
heart
soul
waiting for that one
who will make everything light up
blowing up the walls
and the pre built concepts
of reality.
This rainbow road can take you
anywhere you want to be.
Built from smashed dreams
it makes you wonder just how far
you can really walk before you decide
that it's time to settle down
and take a sip of wine
to numb out the pain
the sway
forget about the sores on your feet.
Still I wander through the streets
headlights lighting the way
to an unknown
yet yearned for tomorrow.
It's all about the story
the trip taken
the slow moments that make it worth while
like a woman's scent as she holds you tight
or her whispering words of beauty
promises often broken
it's all momentary and fleeting.
All meant to ignite some sort of reaction
erection
confessions of the heart.
I've hold her tight several times
my muse
but more often than never
I must let her go
to be free
for I am not a cage
although I am a caged
animal
on a rainbow road
made of smashed dreams.
