Crazy love

Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.

Salute.

Sometimes

I just stand still

Staring up at the sun

For inside

I'm always thinking

Is there nowhere

For me

To now just run

For after all is

Said and done

I've done all of this

For just you

Swam the emotional oceans

Walked

The barren friendliness

Wastelands

As the passing grey clouds

Turned blue

But

When I close

My deep hazel coloured

Eyes

Even though

I see the plain truth

Before me

Naked and bare

Even though

Those emotional

Inner oceans

Still whisper your beloved

Name

This fate I've willingly

Chosen

Numbs the heat

And just keeps me hooked and

Standing still

Frozen

My time maybe near

As I hear my doctor

Calling

Filling my tired mind

With new unwanted fears

This old mist is

Slowly parting and

It's all becoming all

So clear

But I can still faintly

Feel you running

Through my veins

As those old ways still

Visit and always

Haunt me

They always remain

Whispering old

Stories in the so

Curvaceous dark

But when

The sun awakes

And slowly rises

As I open my

Tired old eyes

It erroneously

Burns all those

Old ways

Away

Sending them up

Into its blistering hot

Sun

So I can just bathe

And deeply breathe

In its vibrations and magical

Undertows

As I watch

Their golden leaves fall

And break through all my

Hidden

Inner walls

I always know

No matter where this now short life

Takes me or which sudden direction

My life quickly

Goes

I must be crazy
