Nothing Kinder

Nothing warmer

Or more aged than the notes

Of a time that’s come and gone

Oh so please do say

My time is now yesterday

My time is now yesterday

And if and when I have a new friend

It’ll be one or more

Where they said before

Where the lost souls did no longer go

So in that space where the old and young dance

In disgrace

Is where the elves of justice ..flash..their dreams

Is where the dance of help and love and loss ….show

Oh…

My is that where my life has ….floated away

Nothing Kinder

Nothing warmer nothing keener

Nothing more slick than a kids

Lying to pass the time of day

Oh save the light of my useless life and let my dreams

Float amongst the breath of pure souls with no

Remorse…

The infection was systemic, untreatable and likely fatal. Youth. Unbridled youth. Plain and simple. Of no cure. Youth…

And that’s just the way it was. Then! Back then when the world was wide open to the neurons firing and synapses exciting and restless legs led one to the edge and back from the darkest hours curiosity could carve from safe-harbors.

It was the 60’s after -all. The decade that didn’t just cross borders but reshaped them. Warhol-Art, Film, Sex, Drugs and of course…Rock n Roll. Hair grew out of crew-cuts into pony tails. Clean shaven faces forested. Gleam in eyes sparkled. Oh what the hell. Hell was ours and heaven too.

When

When
When was it you shed your pain
Dropped your hate and anger
The same 
Was it when Your ride thread through
Mountain roads and Canyons too, 
of New Mexico where You
You road so furiously through 
When did you say goodbye
To vengeance derived without, 
Without wisdom's eyes...

Where were you, you suffering fool 
When light of enlightenment 
Meant so much 
To lost fool's 
Was your life lifted upon the rail 
Of a starboard boat's, salty tale?

Or was it when, the book of amen
Told you to, this land you cling to
Is fraught with failures, you left for Others 
to, sin to... 

Or, did you simply, rise above 
And walk a simple hill that 
Rested behind your home, so clearly Soft 
And there upon The night's golden sky
Was that where 
You 
and I 

Told of our acclaim of each other's soul
And is that where we looked up,
Deep into the nights cold brew 
Where a million angels eyes did show Down upon me and you

Just You And me......?For that it is
The river of lust and misgivings 
And revenge doth do begin...
And I do shelter 
A holster of hatred 

And it's bolstered But non religious sin of thirst
And hunger of those young And innocent who know not of Truce
Is there where we Country and city steeds 
Need to come together you see
For our life's are no longer just,Just,Just,
Just
Ours to see
