Ode to Love

When we hear sounds we often compartmentalize them, which usually works well. I propose a style of music that is aware of this, and peels off elements, at times, to create new sounds.   It felt like a new revelation... I may just be describing jazz. 

I failed but I still love you Is there any merit to that? CoPilot's addition: ` I failed but I still love you   Is there any merit to that   I’m standing in the doorway   With everything I lack   I know I can’t undo it   I know I can’t go back   But the truth keeps pulling through me   Like a light behind the black

I have mind blindness, but, every so often, it is as if someone is lighting a lantern just behind my eyes, when I close my eyes. This effect stands out very brightly, and warmly most times, and I thought it was important to share. 

Signal in the deep   Where curses bloom like kelp beds   We harvest their sting     Blessing is a blade   Turned flat against the cheekbone   Warm, not yet cutting   Let the drowned ones rise   Carrying our borrowed wrath   Salt‑crowned strategists   When the hull gives way   We do not call it sinking   Only transformation   Night swims into noon   Shadow stitching sunlit waves   A double‑shoreline   Honor is the rope   Knotted through each quiet breath   Held but never forced   So the seed descends   Into sand that knows our names   Tactics take their root    *** Far shore of the mind   Where old banners still flutter   In winds you outgrew   Footsteps in the dust   Not yours, yet wearing your weight   Return unbidden...

Covering up form I find myself at a loss Please don't stay away Is this an island Where our adventure may start Or something darker? I balance for you Blessed with clarity of thought Where once was told lies I'm in misery My days feeling far too long I feel you must know Do you know my pain? I'm sorry if I hurt you Seeking sorrow's end  I thought you would stay Even as I falter here Help me to return Our path's divergent Up until the point we meet Please take fastest path I waste away here  Hopefully finding your voice Right where I left you

I saw you three times! Much like in the Arrangement  First up as a kid You had a lizard Who possessed psychic powers From since you were three  Your dad got angry There was nothing I could do Though I wanted to We worked together Not sure why I was nervous But we chatted there It was recruiting If I recall correctly You took my spotlight  Then it's Overwatch We were both on the same team Talking through the game You and your family Were going to a theme park I wanted to go I'll build my courage And build my comfort level So we hang out more
