Wishing well

edited June 2008 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
Bugs came flocking to the light
him and them and a cigarette that night
mind tuned while the menthol burned
rush of paranoia as she turned

out the light

Took a walk down harpers trail
made his way to the wishing well
the quarter splashed and scattered reflections
turning, sinking with all its defections

hit bottom heads up

and if he's alive tomorrow
with all the words he swallowed
he'll wish her well
at the wishing well

five chambers plenty empty
the last one is void of sympathy
the head on the coin watched hammer stroke
not a spark not a thought he could provoke

he is reborn

transformed know he's floating home
at light speed feuled by love alone
in the distance lights are flashing tall
looks like the bullet fired after all

and if she's alive tomorrow
with all his words she swallowed\
he's gonna wish her well
at the wishing well

andif she's alive tomorrow
after all the pills she swallowed
he's gonna wish her well
gonna wish her well
wish her well

he gonna
wish her
hope her
love her
pray her
love her
take and never forsake her
at the wishing well
This guy wouldn't know magesty if it bit him in the face- Strong bad

    "Hear me, my chiefs!
    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight
    no more forever."
