king face

you sat down on an unwanted discarded milk crate

you drew the faces

pale, happy, sad and hungry faces

they came from far away to see the spectacle

deep inside

my heart kept on beating

wanting, yearning for just a piece of your soul

but i can only imitate and disgracefully mock your soul

you are a rock

overabundance of love and imagery has hurt you

and at times it has trampled all over your bones

they have called you worthless and crazy

but today i will call you KING

did you know that the sound of your milk crate

scraping against the pavement

reminded me of the song "Money" by Pink Floyd?

wings

all the money in the world couldn't buy me these wings

these wings they sing songs of joy

and at times shatter my fears and bring some heavy black tears

tonight, i will fly away to that place you talked about:

do you remember?

before you died in that dreadful car accident

you had life

you laughed, you sang, you cried and at times you even held my hand

they told us to forget about the past

they told us we couldn't have wings to fly

they lied to us over and over again

and then as we walked by them i whispered in your ear

"all the money in the world couldn't buy me these wings"
