Diving Into Night Pools In Search For Love and Heaven

Diving Into Night Pools In Search For Love and Heaven

A Poem by Scott Lee

I 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.
