Panacea for the Poison

In my mind, I hold the passion Panacea for the poison My bruised and battered body Washes up upon the shore sin Fleas from leaking wounds Like rats from sinking ships As I float off to forever With these words upon my lips No, I never asked for nothing And that's just what I got As my pride dies before I do As I fall, I'm also caught I wasted many days chasing Brightly gleaming streams As I fold into your presence Do I now know what it means? We could get old and talk At the same time when we tell stories If we let go Impossible names rhyme in elegant poetry But I dabbled in everything It inundates my small town I refuse the offers extended Waiting for God now I've never asked for nothing audible So when the walls fall down And spin like waterwheels I'll pray for something logical So when we all drown I can cover bald spots with yarmulkes Drawn from extra-dimensional Sources like in comic books Choose your own adventure I'm obsessing like a drug fiend Fantasies of actors clandestinely Having sex in love scenes But why not amateurs Openly sharing joy in sex scenes? Stand clear while I soak in this Treasure trove of a wet dream I can't tell what my problem is Or even if there is one Sail the celibacies Much sooner than commitment Escaping minor shake-ups But keep bracing for the big one To make the choices obvious And save us from decisions In my mind, I hold the passion Panacea for the poison My bruised and battered body Washes up upon the shore sin Fleas from leaking wounds Like rats from sinking ships As I float off to forever With these words upon my lips No, I never asked for nothing And that's just what I got As my pride dies before I do As I fall, I'm also caught I wasted many days chasing Brightly gleaming streams As I fold into your presence Do I now know what it means? I juggled whimsy in a fire fight With the inner light of fire flies Watched dusk go indigo And blush into a silent night Birthed immaculate concepts From a pregnant pause In the august of my righteousness Just waiting for the fall The greater and the small All for one and one for all For all the S.O.S'ing We will rise to the call I've bitten the hand that feeds And found myself bleeding Hereby, I'll only need What I need But need'll get me out of my groove So I move to different tunes Sunning in the warm weather By the light of distant moons Thirst statement inundation Bring the monsoon Seasoned with the spectacle Of people finding tools Appetite has grown fools Empire has sown rules Let's throw out the cravings And things with no use People dropping jewels Gems can't shine like our light To err is human So the sky is our birthright In my mind, I hold the passion Panacea for the poison My bruised and battered body Washes up upon the shore sin Fleas from leaking wounds Like rats from sinking ships As I float off to forever With these words upon my lips No, I never asked for nothing And that's just what I got As my pride dies before I do As I fall, I'm also caught I wasted many days chasing Brightly gleaming streams As I fold into your presence Do I now know what it means? In my mind, I hold the passion Panacea for the poison My bruised and battered body Washes up upon the shore sin Fleas from leaking wounds Like rats from sinking ships As I float off to forever With these words upon my lips
