The SurferA Poem by taylorjaymes
This eclipse hurts my eyes
I know not where you're going to Could you imagine my surprise When at the midnight hour there was a new moon? Would it matter if I gave it a million tries? Or would I surf forever before the swell would come? It wouldn't matter what magic love buys I'd bottom out before the day is done This eclipse hurts my eyes Is it too much to ask to go down hard? Lost in the tide by the pier is where she lies And I drew an ace of cups from the tarot cards It will be too late by the time she'll realize That the three are no longer aligned When will it be that my hands are sanitized? And my thoughts on you are reassigned? This eclipse hurts my eyes Even so, I can't help but paddle out I sit and wait for just the right size But with each ebon flow I have my doubts This eclipse hurts my eyes And from the size of the waves, you are so hard to find I cannot think to compare our lives And from staring at the sky, I am blind © 2012 taylorjaymes |
