If wishes were horses


I do not know how to ride
Maybe I would learn
I couldn’t hide
This soul abhors repression
I rolled out
But I wasn’t riding
Maybe time wanted me on the saddle
My hands are not strong for the brittle

I have got broader shoulders
I would carry you the same way
Daddy does to his baby daughter and son
I would pray for the sun
To stay in the east and never go away
If wishes were horses
You were going to be my eternal hay
I would cling to your arms

If wishes were horses
I would be clad to your lips
To whisper love into them and
Feel it go down your pipe to
Your inner atom
Bury all the phantoms you saw
I wish I could hold your hand and tell
Dear, I fervently fell

If wishes were horses I would
Alter the colours of your thoughts
If I could decipher the contents
Of your skull and your heart
If I could change a lizard to a chameleon
And keep lizard ‘speed I would do
If the entrance was permitted I would
Do wonders to your soul
I wish I could rekindle your fire

First lady



First before the skies and the stars
First before love- the Goddess of love
A nurse to this heart
A lark to the ears
She flips her wings in the air
To feed mother earth with music
Yes I am the earth
Cold winter bites- she is the hearth

You are taller than time
Angels chime your name
The highest in the rank of angels
Humble yet well-heeled:
Skull, palms and the inner atom
You are the mogul of light
You are the holder of the skies and the stars
Your name is enunciated right from the heavens

You are the first, you are the end
A feast to my soul
You are void of fouls
I will not foul you
A soul mate that will never be late
You fill the spaces between my fingers
Not overlooking the toes
Me and you, we will eternally crumple our foes
You are the best
