Suffusion

poesy tinder

i want to go to drink and draw

the plot

im press ar eee oh

morning row in to shore, strong ebb tide, very strong winds
whoosh whoosh over the waves, always row towards the waves
splash — as the tip of the oar catches the tumbling wave, wets my face
push push against the wind and tides, slowly past the anchored boats
across the channel towards the schooner wind break

remember: when coming in to a harbor stay above the rushing tide

Pimp sunset game gone bye
Oh Baby I see you in the Window
and You Just cry cry cry

what state and what harbor?
what direction magnetic or true?
blaze of my glory intrigues your andlers
blur out all the good words and
mumble the blest

With a group of sailors
I’m in a large row boat
I see you on the farther shore
I can’t leave you but i dont know
if I can jump
into the water, jump
and swim back to
arrive on that far shore
penniless, no possesions, half dead
and would you even be there?

the boat pulls farther
and my heart yells *jump*
as soon as i hit that cold water
i know i’ll never make it
but i swim, i swim to you

the vision of love, feeling of love
carried me through those waves
but as my spirit grew stronger
my body became weaker and grave

oh i’ve been tossed in this life by waves
and i’ve tried to get through
and just when i thought i was free
I realized i wanted only you

meals to be provided -> forthwith
Would you meanwhile tend to the pins ?
that are holding the spokes of the wheel
on the wagon holding the family
