make – Poétique

Imaginaire

You want it so bad
Make believe
The power of displeasure
Is daunting and it seems
That reaching out
Is wasting time
If feelings can’t receive
The answers
To the question the heart asks
And actuality begins the
Instigation for the reasons why
We leave with no
Real goodbye
It’s easy to pretend
But its hard to make believe
Desiring the things that cannot
Ultimately be together because
Seeing its impossibility
Goes against the truth
No one can speak
And I can barely breathe

Imagining belief
Is only killing what is real
And punished by the things
That we could feel
That make us beautiful to me
With one another

Just tell me if we’re playing games
I know hide and seek
Send me off
Then let me count from ten to one
Cause I don’t want to make believe

So tell the truth
Come sneak me out
I’m counting down
Ten to one
One to ten
Is this a game?
What’s it about?

You don’t want me to go
But you can’t give me what I need

Growing up is difficult
The time has come to leave

All Day

We could make love all day
Around the apartment
It’s quite simple really
Take a break for some toast
The cat is napping
He won’t be disturbed
The dog is happy
He’ll not be perturbed
We could make love all day
In the apartment
The rain is coming down
So perfectly whilst the light
Is creeping in and soft is the sound
Like your skin also glowing
Certainly brightens the
Room so subtly highlighting
Our bodies reflecting
The imaginary colors of the moon
As we watch the
Steam from our hearts rise
I can see the shadow of
Your outline fade into the dusk
As it crawls away
From the perfect day
We could make love
In the apartment if
You haven’t anything else
That’s keeping you at bay
I’ve a piano and wine
The food here’s divine
No rush waking up by the way
We could make love all day
In the apartment so hey
Let me know if
You haven’t any plans
Or just text me when
You’re headed this way

Make It All Better

What’s wrong with the
Whole world and why
Do I feel like I want to live
In a cave somewhere
Far away from these redundant
Songs being forced into
My ears at the market
While I’m shopping
Somehow having this
Symbiotic experience with
The world just like a clone
Of everyone else as I sift
Through objects that
Don’t matter and won’t
Matter even five years after
From now on… and what is the
Bland stale scent of
Nothingness in the air
The humming of electric cars
It’s taking it too far for us to care
Sounds like we have money
Driving through the parking lot
Where there are so many
That have nothing am I part of
The problem or the solution?
Want to get away from
The pollution of our existence
People are so sweet gentle
And kind walking through life
Why do I feel like I’m losing my mind
Like I’d rather be deaf
Dumb and blind unable
To process everything
That is going on around me
Wait a minute hold the door
There’s someone on the ground
I spoke too soon because
Some buffoon of a jerk
Knocked a gal down in the street
I saw it with my own eyes no joke
Backed up with the car door open
Knocked her off her feet
Provoked? Looks like nothing’s broken
She’s okay but how’s my faith
In humanity today? Or the world?
I think it’s sad when a Pop-Tart is
What we’re left with
To make it all better

Make Believe

I’m a witness to a resurrection
Of myself transforming waves in
Ways of understanding
Parts of myself that were
Once held up in a
Pierced delay
An oceanic reaction
Caught in the potential distraction
Of who is who in which
Reality before we ever
Fall backwards into
Whatever wasn’t anyway
But oh how I love
To play make believe

Make Me Alive

Make me alive
A wise fool in your eyes
Peel me away
Like the paint
From the oldest building
You’ve ever come to stride
Pressed up against your brow
In twilights death
Glowing in the spire
Of many decades
Yet to be perceived
In cardinal choirs
I realize the devil
Went down to Georgia
To release you from your pact
To someone else
In what exact chamber
Of glowing heat
Could ever your heart beat
Without the Mayberry bed
Of rubies beneath the belly
And the back of any beast
Red and yellow leaves
Performing twisty dances
To their death on cement night
Make me alive

Make Me Want You

You make me want you
So much cause I can’t have you
Forbidden
I mean you know this right
Momentary or not
Could we just get it over with?
Super bliss
Have one night
Like touching a star
Would that be enough?
I’ll take my chance

With your permission
In ways we’re not allowed
Just to be wowed by you
