Don’t take the past away from me It made me who I am I like the one I’ve come to be A truthful, loving man

I’ll make you pucker And turn your stomach So take me with a grain of salt

I am a simple, joyful man Without a thing you’d call a plan I bounce around and bump into What I would call my Katmandu

There’s a certain point Where I put down my joint And fucking end you

I’ve never really cared about me I know I’ll be fine I’m the benchmark of resiliency You’re who’s on my mind

You’re the bestest bud Anyone could love And your soul shines through All the doom and gloom Fortunate to have

Don’t try to be divine ‘Cause we’ve always been Just try to be yourself My out fits your in

I thought that she Could be the one I thought that we Were having fun And then I spoke

I don’t write poems for poets Flowery language, indulge us I break it down With a simpler sound And anything more would be less

Your thought forms beauty and beas… Your word produces joy and despair… Your movement brings life and deat… Your power creates your present.

I see a bee pollinate a flower I see a girl dance to her favorite… I see two men swing and dissolve I see a wolf thin a herd I see You, being You, just to be…

There’s one thing You should know about us We’re gonna be Uncomfortably close Here is you

I cast the blame on you and her That just might be a bit obscured To tell the tale with honest voice I have to acknowledge my choice

I lived today. I breathed. I moved. I was. I hope I helped.

Each moment at hand Is open invitation To the promised land
