#Blogger Tramp By Day - #Loners #Alleyways
Will you remember me at all?
There’s a silver flair of hope in your brilliant, eyes n’ dreaming smile
When the moon is on the rise
And you capture me right there
When time seems like it’s stopped, how so, we are delighted to not care
While I’m intrigued, captivated and compelled
to carry you ‘cross burning deserts, lava-fire seas,
rubble from collapsing massive towers, at the center of our sacred cities,
all that stands to stop us; tear our wills with hate and lies
through minefields of hatred n’ intolerance and crashing jets from terrorism’s kidnapped skies,
and quarrelling religious schismatic schizoids, n’war-stricken sects, n’ love forbidden poor lost fools
who would rather die to kill than live to compromise at best
so many of those sad, sensational, terrifying tabloid line ups for addictions’ news
Amidst all that’s mad, toxic, n’ sickening
Even shipwrecked on an island, I must hold you, anywhere
And all the spirits in the night
Lead us to a secret place
Where there’s release within the wind
And we’ll slowly start to cry
We’ll make love on our calm bay
While the worlds’ so far away
We have found ourselves, at last, in harmlessness embrace
There’s a pain from letting go
An ache in holding on
Where memories gently flow
The good still carry us along
The heroes take the unknown paths,
Many horrifying tasks
When clouds of darkness fall
Love is built; twin tower tall
If I’ve forgotten who I was
Or not sure what I’ve become
There’s forgiveness, hope and love
There’s shooting star-dreams, and tomorrow
There’s a reflection beaming off the lighthouse, from the new days’ rising sun
Where I hold you, far away, and also here, this way
Where we both feel free and safe
Do we keep our love away from them all?
(The fighters, leaders, the fear lords n’ cowards n’ all around suffering, sad shufflers n’ losers of far too much of it all)
Or do we fight the fighters to teach and share so much more of it all?
Not a loner by choice
All we need is a chance
All we want is some love
All we need is some air
To breathe on our own
All we have is ourselves n’ the fix
And all we’ve got is the cold n’ survival skills
Out here on the streets
We’ve got to just get on
It’s not food that we need
Nor a hostile, to take refuge, nor food
It’s an angry, awful maze
We’re clawin’ the walls of while we steal n’ run ‘round in scracthin’ up our veins
As we steal to survive
Take a deep hoot on our pipe
Keepin’ ourselves wide awake, still alive
Numbed in the darkness, let our fix come in
One day at a time’s not a’ phrase we live by
This world is so cruel
Can I get few bucks n’ some clean socks outta’ you!
Some hydrogen peroxide’ll clean the dirty scabs outta’ my arm,
N’ wash the sting from my skin
Let me get a hoot in
Not a loner by choice
Not a stat on your streets
Not a loser with no voice
Not an addict in need
Where is the land of opportunity? Aye yeah.
I’m almost gone. I can’t go on without some hope that something good happen to me.
All we need is some life,
To happen to us for a while
When you’re makin’ other plans
Like John Lennon sang
To his beautiful boy
Not a loner, by choice
Not a loser with no voice
Not a loner
Not a loner
