Moonlit Pages

awake in the night

thankfully everything is alright

my mind is not unkind

it's only trying to move me down the line

/

quiet night

no daylight

vampire like

up in the Klondike

/

red eyes

but up and spun clockwise

I get into it

pages moonlit

/

I feel like myself

dancing on the ice shelf

bass vibrating the white floor

oh there's a knock at the door

/

responsibility has come along

we've had such a poor relationship for so long

apparently I don't stack up

but I can still quack like a duck

/

I refuse to denounce my youth

take me down fighting nail and tooth

I feel like I'm there where it counts

you know, varying amounts

/

I will always be this way

in a way

you can't change that

but now I'm up to bat

/

I'll get there before I strike out

I'm doing it over the shouts

for the team's win

I'd really do anything to see them all grin

(untitled)

friends are there to shine light

where we cast our shadows

Healed in the North

I came here to heal

my heart was so broken

I needed to play dead

till I found a new one

friend & lover

turned me away

iced extremities

food became my closest friend

now I know

he's not a good friend

frozen in position

I need to thaw

but I can't move till my heart melts

I've committed to this healing place

until I've completed half my studies

should be the perfect amount of time on defrost

I won't take a man right now

I'm afraid of what I might do to please him

so I put myself first

I'm number one

I have to be

otherwise I'll need a third heart

if you're not first

you're last

shake'n bake

once I've healed I'll be able to

decide whether I want

white

or

red

roses

I wanna go fast

but the path to enlightenment

is arduous and slow

I'll get there

hell, I may even get there laughing and smiling

I'm a listener

not a player

the melodies wrap my brain in

a protective layer

courage

friendship

love

all found in verse

poetry in a symphony

knowledge in rap

life in jazz

wait till I thaw

my heart will pump

ferociously

then I'll be healed

then I will move around as the

militant of the North

we are the North
