Waves

Thoughts conjure the mystic

Failed to be realistic

Head keeps going ballistic

Absurd to stay optimistic

Darling with a mission

Shot the heart with precision 

Mono inner collision 

Led it to submission

Has it really been this long?

Since I heard this song

Lost to where I belong

As I floated along

Objects of matter

Snogs, chuckles, and chatter

The feelings that scatter

Emptying the soul like a bladder

Soup turned cold

The sink sunk, it overflowed

Glue couldn't hold

The solvents dissolved

A battle of pride

Caused the tide

Enforced the divide

Reached new heights to con the mind

Days are grueling

Eyelids drooping

Brain keeps stooping

Flowers cease blooming

Tear glands leaking

Lost looking for meaning

Melancholy greeting

Black dogs creeping

My baby blue

Came back in a broken canoe

To take me for a view

Alas it's past due

Some won't understand

Why it depletes a man

To unhold his hand

Well it carves a brand

They found reasons to try

Keep setting sail at night

Brave waves bathe the eye

Well I crave ways to dry
