Amble the Pasted Paths




we don't posses the opposite of love
we're consumed by the absence there of
always looking elsewhere for whatever
& of course all else contained there in
made out to be what we're not
walking paths we found in books
explaining visions & ideas & shrapnel
another green theory to hang to the mantle
connections failed with passing sensation
we have no reason to deny temptation
sticking around & up for my acquaintence
now i'm broke & in need of naintenance
in the dark we poetically lost our spark
litter here for fun in our heart's park
i found the time to walk out a time or two
please come with us on (y)our paths too
still looking for what's better than not being
knowing blind through seeing is believing
i'm ready to go to a place i know
i don't plant plants yet i reap what i sow.
