Losing the light 2

30 Aug

a l e x – Proud Of You (feat. Alicks)

This is the light for a walk.

Just you and some thoughts.

Orange glow on the rocks.

Drinks hot and toes not.

–

This is the light just for me.

Unpack everything I’ve seen

and do it quietly.

–

–

This is the time for a talk;

dim light and decaf.

Let’s ditch the flock,

this wick burns fast.

–

A life armed to the teeth.

A cheetah out of breath.

A knife with no sheath.

All the things we build ourselves.

–

But this is the light for a walk;

in the hue from the loch,

picking the knots,

gapping the stops.

Oceans

27 Aug

Maybe We’re Lost – Ugly Cassanova

I didn’t understand.

Talk is cheap,

Advice is grand.

They’re selling waves the sand.

You needed help

and all I could see was me.

Ropey kelp

in my darker sea.

Standing in my streams you’d find

my fear that you didn’t love me enough.

That I had not been kind.

That you were not made tough.

Unbeknownst to me,

like others with the sting

of stigma that comes between

getting help and forever treading.

Eventually as I learned more

about the streams I dipped my toes

I pulled up roots from my ocean floors;

Make way for further water flows.

You needed help.

Now all I can see is you.

Flying sea foam whelp

on my deep sea blue.
