PLAYCOLD

have you ever just watched a tree
just watched it be
just tried to see
all that is the tree
see so long you are blind
loosing your sense of time
loosing minutes and hours
feeling its powers
watching the tree
trying to just be

have you ever been lost in drink
so much so you could not think
hearing the empty bottle clink
against your kitchen sink
water swirling down the drain
numbness infesting your brain
wasting away till the dawn
meeting reality with a yawn
paranoid of what others think
craving that additional drink

have you ever felt so ill
that you have taken every pill
hoping pain has had its fill
hoping you are at the top of the hill
looking to be completely numb
caring less about looking dumb
seeking places one can hide
feeling ripped apart inside
loosing all sense of will
hoping for the magic pill

have you ever really felt the tune
making you sway making you swoon
to your spirit it is a boon
happily dancing like a loon
singing the words completely out loud
skipping along your solitary cloud
scratching the itch feeding the muse
bending the nails loosening the screws
feeling the sun off the moon
craving more oh so very soon

have you ever got lost in skin
rubbing it over and over again
loosing yourself yet hoping to win
feeling so good it must be a sin
moment to moment in the caress
intimacy without need of undress
subtle smile lies upon your face
the same line you continue to trace
feeling so close breathing akin
the simple pleasure of simple skin

have you ever tried to stop time
lost in the moment of some little rhyme
feeling completely totally utterly fine
holding forever with simple sunshine
holding your breath holding the moment
completely captured by such scent
possibly the texure and how it is felt
peace with the hand you are dealt
hoping happiness is not a crime
lost in a singular moment in time


have you ever just watched a tree
been lost in drink
felt so ill
felt the tune
been lost in skin
or stopped time
even kept on and on with a silly rhyme

human is human
song is song
moments are moments
will this one be gone?
