Logical Season

Meet me during winter
And I'll be ready to please you in Spring
Following your destination
Having nothing left to win

Leave me in the Summer
Or you won't be able to be denied
Loose you in mystification
Telling me that I lied

I'll mourn you in the Autumn
Until I'm finally able to see
Love is the only compensation
That matters to me

What Remains

In the quiet desperation
of 11.24 on this
September night -
something got to give -
in this period of 26 years
in the loud seperation
of her and her man
the fool remains
she contains
so much of what has been taken
cashed and carried
out of my soul

It makes me remember
Things
I did not notice

Constant soldier (partial outtake)

my life goes floating by
and I
could I do otherwise
postphone the final question
to your answer
I love who I love
could that just be you

all these visions
I don't want to see
it's embarrasing
I don't want to
open my eyes no more

but me
the ultimate Cortez
is going, going, gone
and my lonely friends
will sway and
dance, dance, dance
to the question -
I am who I was or
could have been
if your vivd imagination
would not have been
occupied or dead
so long honey babe
so long dizzy stage
I will make it all up
to me

and it's going to be the day
where on we
will walk up to the grave
and discuss and wonder
the reason and typography
of it all
and I am
A constant soldier
Sometime poet
And I will be
King
