All of my life
I believed I was going nowhere
With a purpose that belied emptiness
All of my life
I have moved toward something to share
Some Vague instinct telling me I am blessed
Eyes beyond the curve of the earth
Gauging everyone and everything
For it's worth
The almost loves of summer days
The perfect moods of a blue late night sax
The absolute truth where an old lady prays
Journey's of joy turning to sadness
For I'm never coming back
All of my life
I struggled towards resolution
With the knowledge of obscure destiny
All of my life
I travelled with my intuition
That someone somewhere would see some good in me
Mind beyond the rim of the sun
Seeing everything maybe nothing
Till it's gone
The naked change of winter light
The muted chord of a far-off guitar
The slow bleeding wound of newly damaged sight
Misty windows tearing in the wind
Cut the face you think you are
All of my life
The waiting that hollows out the soul
Leaving naked the promise not returned
All of my life
The knowing that strangers think you whole
And their wonder when you reject praise not earned
Pain behind the mirror of shades
Being nobody or everybody
Till it fades
The stagnant room of a loner
The broken voice of a long dead diva.
Sad perceptions in strangers laughter
The facades of the searcher
All of my life
The music was a blues barricade
There was nothing and no one allowed in
All of my life
I have roamed the periphery of fade
Till at last I came to view emptiness a sin
Now I've seen the eyes that fill me
Beyond all others before all others
They see me
The aching sadness blown away
The bitter sweet tongue of blue flame chastised
Destinations of the heart relayed
In the beauty of brown eyes |
