"Adventurer"


	You're an adventurer
	you sail across the oceans
	you climb the Himalayas
	seeking truth and beauty as a natural state

	You're a queen reborn
	worshipped from above afar
	some see you as an elixir
	an elemental natural seeking perfect grace

	In a catacomb
	or cave of endless drawings
	prehistoric or religious
	your accomplishments prodigious
	seeking out the perfect tone

	Your language so clear
	your voice perfectly turning
	as in the city I sit yearning
	blowing rings of smoke from thin cigars
	or driving fast in foreign cars
	to capture your remains, ha!

	You're an adventurer
	a turban wet wrapped round your head
	on the mountainside they predict your death
	oh how you fooled them all

	But subjects are a poor excuse
	when what you really want's a muse
	an inspirating knowledge
	of what comes before

	Ooohhh, speeds of light
	the momentary flicker
	of a candle in its wicker basket
	smoking wax - Facts!

	Did you find that superior knowledge
	that eluded you in college
	Did you find that super vortex
	that could cause your cerebral cortex
	ooohhh, to lose its grip

	You're an adventurer
	you were out looking for meaning
	while the rest of us were steaming
	in an inspirating
	ah, urban pit

	An adventurer
	you enter as I'm dreaming
	I wish I'd never wake up
	Differentiating scheming from my one true love

	You're an adventurer
	you love the angles and the cherries
	the height and width of levies
	the natural bridge and tunnels of the human race

	You're an adventurer
	nothing seem to scare you
	and if it does it won't dissuade you
	you just will not think about it
	you dismiss it and defocus
	you redefine the locus of your time in space - Race!

	As you move further from me
	and though I understand the thinking
	and have often done the sane thing
	I find parts of me gone

	You're an adventurer
	and though I'll surely miss you
	and of course I'll survive without you
	and maybe good will come of that

	But at this point, ah
	I anticipate some grieving
	and although I know your leaving
	is a necessary adjunct to what we both do

	An adventurer
	splitting up the atom
	splitting up the once was
	splitting up the essence of our star-crossed fate

	None who meet you
	do forget you, my adventurer
	my adventurer, my adventurer, - venturer
	my adventuress
