better is best

The smoky waitress cuts the cheese along side.
Low slung waist is at nose height.
The couple in the car behind me krumping synchronised.
The music coming from the stereo is mine.
The walkers outside step in time.
A colleague asked about their mother says she’s downstairs.
Coincidence or a sign.

The ragged edge of love is being hemmed.
The contact has come back.
The work ahead is always there.
The love of another is the call.

Tomorrow is a brighter day.
Stress is less and life works itzelf out
around strain and rest.
The time to live and enjoy the best.

Muse me.

Have you noticed how there are no new stars being born?

Do you look for meaning in a paradise forlorn.

Are you compus mentus in your memory forge.

Do you keep from looking at the edge of the gorge.

Bleak is the life without any torch.

Keep your love close and your mat on the porch.

For strangers are angels and demons are thoughts.

Mechanisations in life stories are scorched.

So take what you can and give what you ought.

Remember the gifts that you have been taught.

Love is forever and ever is nought.

Laughter and laughter and laughter be sought.

Choose anything.

God Good earth bad

Earth Good people bad

People Good hell bad

Its always the monkey or the gun.

Hanging on to the ragged edge of love

Looking up to the gifts above

What I don't care for won't be taken

All my opposites step long forsaken.

Tense new worlds

Hum life dark strife

Slit of horizon beyond my closed eyes

Love against love in a why clouded sky.

Mercury sifts for a despondent heart

I like the smell of a new start

Honest as a lie is kind

Crucify me now, I am blind.

Fury blonde upon my duress

Cut the glass of hell princess

For God is too beautiful I can't say goodbye

So I hold on to love and in it I hide.
