Simplicity + So it is

'My Cousin and I talking about Life

Delicate skin, refined features of a Sunday afternoon. The Sun slowly heating the Earth like a Sunday roast baking in the oven. Burning desires with a core of good intent. Nestled beside Twindle who is wearing a smile that could reach the far corners of Earth. To see such a thing would be as tragic as it is life changing. Twindle is only eight years old, her love is as pure as grass is green. To laugh is to cry she thought, plucking strands of grass from its fledging friends.
'Why are you never happy' says Twindle.
'I don't know', I said.
'I want to make you laugh' said Twindle.
'I want is a bad feeling' I said
'No it isn't' Twindle remarked.
'I want is an illusion' I remarked.
'I want what I don't need, because I need what I always get' Twindle took a breath, and then a sigh.
'I want to understand what you want but don't need'. I asked.
'I want to know what all this is about, I don't understand' Twindle replied.
'I want you to know that you'll never find out because you don't need to, you're magnificant' I said.

Purity is honesty.

So It Is

I even thought I didn’t matter anymore
I guess you just left
Swinging doors, unsettled scores.

I just walked
Because you never talked
I’m still waiting though,
I could never hold a frown
I could never hold it down

The clouds have lifted
My soul isn’t sorry no more
I’m free, no guilt no shame
Who gives a shit who was to blame

I’m a man on his own path
Acting so serious I have to laugh
You couldn’t walk with me
You’d never understand
Why would you, Why should you

Anyway seems like its done
Look what we’ve done
Could have been more
Should’ve been more

Oh well who is to care when you see a man down
If there is a man left in me I’ll be sure to make him stand

Made the train in time
I’m so close to crossing the line
Another great day
For moving away

Got up, spoke a word
Made my bed, it felt absurd
Changing my mind every waking second

Chased the bus all the way
Not the best start to a brand new day
Could’ve been better, should’ve been worse
Laughing all the way, living with the curse.
