Diving Into Night Pools In Search For Love and HeavenA Poem by Scott LeeI can see you on the grass head back eyes locked in sky stare modest me sitting with you. Summer sky teasing us with anything possible I tried to quiet rumbles in my Volcanic heart with spoken words I was dumped off on a silent porch every word seemed to abandon me I grew tired of painting walls with colors that never work. her words like her eyes soft spoken blue seemed to dare me with a kiss the lure of her desire pulled me into Prison my thoughts like star-fire that were held captive in a cage an untameable rebellion rose within me along with a reckless black desire growing stronger than any rage we painted mud on our faces and bolted out of town; let's drink the night away cross haunted trails again tell our secrets we hung on meat hooks down in private basements Dive into Night pools in search for love and heaven we both found our love crucified in different timelines we kept on moving down the rails growing strong even though it felt like death You saw yourself become a saint soft spoken blue and enthusiasm escaping through your breath I saw myself become extinct vanished in the fires lost in hatered and in love I drew weapons from reckless black desires held power in my heart used it against myself tried to destroy my love by burning down the city thankfully love's city was way more resilient than I thought Your truth cracked open my summer baked clay and ignited Revolution I could smell disdain and rebellion from her eyes it smelled like forest storm and wind it made me want to stand on a dirt mound and start giving sermons in the middle of a cool day trying to start a fire
tap into a true voice let it consume my every word I would either hear applause or gun shots my blood could run down pavement and fill in a few cracks another dream shot down dead maybe your soft spoken blue could talk sense to them let them see that their tyranny is "Danger To The World" it could be they just don't care but why? I heard night cracks bash the mountain side heard the desperate ones plea for life and freedom Could we both go into the wilderness to burn alive together? Soft spoken blue and reckless black desire diving into night pools in search for a greater heaven We could drown together me and you to be simple once again We could ignite together me and you to give sermons in the wind with Flame and Wind together Raise Revolution from Hearts of Men diving into night pools in search for love and heaven. © 2012 Scott Lee |
