Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Salute.
I never sought to get so deeply embedded within your mind
I never wanted to curse you
To think of me
All the time
I am just a man
Of flesh and blood
Wading knee-deep in humanities
Deluge and mud
I did’t want to break your heart
Maybe it is a good thing
We are so far apart
So it may be like the call of the beast
Wild and ravenous for
A thirst for answers
Blowing in the four winds
But especially from the East
Are we just star-struck lovers
Lost upon a sometimes lonely beach
But sometimes the only way we can light our way
Forward
Is to talk to our soul flame
Who we might still hurt
Even if they are safely just out of reach
Just walking all alone
On a lonely beach
Maybe Love is a losing game
But I swear
I'll always remember your name
