renting amen's without saddles

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

renting amen's without saddles

 

 

 

pray for the transient lovers

they never stay in one heart for very long

always that urge to run

to find a new town to cry in

or laugh in

and a significant other willing

to let them move in with a temporary lease

 

on life's affections

 

pray for the transient lovers

surprisingly settled for emotional nomads

 

they take a drag on the Camel

and then ride off to the sands of change

emptying their canteens of emotion,

 

then dying of a thirst for acceptance.

Transient ... staying for a short while and moving on, ever searching for something they rarely ever find.

"they take a drag on the Camel
and then ride off to the sands of change
emptying their canteens of emotion"

This is brilliance personified!
