Riffing and Rhyming
I’m creatively exhausted, but too proud to force it
I just wish I had control of the flow from this faucet
I know I haven’t lost it, but where’s the cohesion?
The strings to connect it, the rhymes and the reasons
But I really don’t need them if I go with this mindset
A little bit of this and that, is this mine yet?
Do I know the next line yet? I’m honestly riffing
Digging through the mind as if I were fishing
Am I swinging and missing or have I made contact?
A million fucking questions, I just want what is gone back
Am I calm like a bomb that’s about to explode?
Or is this the peace I’ve always wanted to know?
Or is this the eye of the storm that’s been passing?
God, I fucking love her and the way I’ve been laughing
The way time is passing and the smile I’m wearing
It’s so fucking new, but I love what she’s sharing
But, in the same, I feel hate for the people who fight this
The envious pricks who don’t have, so don’t like this
I’m too happy to hide this and too spiteful to care
I’ve been through the bad times and now my life is fair
As my eye catches her there, she’s walking in my direction
She’s a vision of beauty, this girl is simply perfection
I’m writing without disgression cause she’s all that I need
Even if it makes these words harder to read
But I love her, you see, and, for now, hate is faded
I’ve had all my dreams and, in a way, I have made it
In this transitional time as I rhyme about nothing
I hope you can see that I am happy and loving
Notes: I haven’t written in a while. Besides there being a lack of time on my part, it’s just a bit difficult to write when I’m honestly content with my life. I just went into this with the idea of writing whatever popped into my head. It stayed together pretty well, but I had no goal and no predetermined conclusion. I just went with it.
