FICTION & ADDICTION

“I seek to melt,

                  Both you and I…

Sugar into Syrup;

                  An eye for an eye.

Dangerous!  Falling!  Spilling!  I slipped!

I Tumbled, but with purpose!

                   …as the seasons flipped.

Sought you out, but told you to run…

Still, the feeling of you looking back is second to none.

Addicted to love!  Love, fate, and control! 

Let me be your puppet master!  I`m dying to see what scenes could unfold!“

-Scaredy Cat-

Every car like water – every breeze carries force.

Every tree there to scare me – each dog there to warn.

Morning come, and come, come again;

Will the man I Know touch me?

Oh come, come again!

Snickers and laughter, it`s all just been a blast.

Love and good nature has filled most of my past.

Simply, oh simply, just put into word…

How lucky I`ve been, through so much absurd.

Through every tune, a rhyme of you is played. 

Melodic, electronic, supersonic… so bionic. 

Un-relatable, insatiable, foggy and so grey.  So bright – what a sight!  It might just go away.

Sagging, and blue.  With spots that were true. 

Holistic goes ballistic, and there you are, boo!  :-)

GFU

The gift, the gift; the gift that you were trippin…

On.

Relax; please just flow.  Don`t go.  Hear my flow. 

Some won`t know.

Some won`t go.        (Here we go?)  (Here we go!)
