It All Takes Time

It all takes time

Maria

There are often sweet complications

Iguanas in

The shape of thorn palmetto

She bargains and strains in a

Sloth of sunlight,

Photographs the

Doorway

Hinged in mental staccato

Moonlight swimming warm

The silver atheist troubadour

Love making love on a heart of diamonds

Sweat sweating ruby serpents into eve

It all takes time Maria

Stripping cups of acid cane

Keeping watch over everything

Stirring truth in from the lazy straw veranda

We'll sing in Cuban balladeer

Hands clapping and

My guitar will never be so bold

And I will tell you everything 

Everything is what you deserve 

Well…

I dream in older Ezekiel image and

I often take my time

Lying in the cold prophetic basement

Keeping my attentions on the scores of mice 

And the hands that I’ve refused run ragged wars through all my wicked pages

No sense in changing my mind

No sense in rushing my love

It all takes time Maria

It takes everything

Morning comes

Slender as Houdini’s ghost

Immunity crawls and

It’s all a fresh pulled tooth

Every color runs

We share our black and white destiny

A bus scream while

The commonwealth screams back

It takes angelology and a plastic gun

But we do come to terms

You see

Becoming fine wine Maria

It all takes time

Does it?I thought we were born of all things and they are in fact what kills us...or maybe it's just this God awful RAIN!...water...water into wine....now there's a trick...its all about timing🤔

[Perdition]

No..that's the b***h of it..time or rather the illusion of if. Whether you are there or not you are in the stream of experiencing an idea or notion and as such you are are the fly in a world of wind dreams..Course up to you whether it be a tolerable thing or not. It all takes time Maria~

Hard thoughts for a gal of ill patience and a time piece that steams like a train...
