Daisy watering

my heart fell
smashed into a million daisy flowers at my feet
diagnoses steals the sleep from me
needed sleep
yet even in that space dis ease keeps the rest

In the ink black night
gentle battle lines are being drawn
in the quiet silent screams ring forth


tock tock goes the fucked clock

10 more years will make you 15
20 more years
and 25 is the number

I wonder if it was fare of me to be so selfish to keep you 
I could not have made another choice
and this time
this now
is golden despite

tears are rolling
I say get them out of me
let them go
the ink black silence my witness
my handkerchief
the only witness to daisy's being watered

Ive fought so many battles
so often my sabre has rattled
I'm preparing
sitting with daisy dotted ink black
putting back together
matching each crack


I focus on you
my gorgeous creature
this bodies managed to brew
and keep
and keep 

feel the love
the mother love
deep
deep


The bucket list is here and now
roll and rock
as only I know how
and turn and use this
for the better of us
hold your hand
run free
you and me

be gone dis ease
I want not
not 
please not add to my lot
drag this shell around
hear no sea
I see no me
I see you
but not me
I pitty you son
you have me

sinking down
you I shall not weight
you are to fly above
all of the fate
learn son that life is not cheap
hold my hand son
close your eyes
don't see me weep

I mend my heart
fill the cracks with gold
forge it all back
refuse to be sold
on ideas of doom
I give the universe the finger

fuck you fates
where has time gone
46 years
in reality ive only lived for 6

oh plan come to me
come compass to my mind
I'm the captain of crisis
with no fucking direction

back to bed I shall go soon
hold him
watch him sleep
take tissues for my issues
and love
as fast as I can

fast as I can

ring side seat

You chose me
I was 40
soon to be single
you reach down from the stars
and you picked me

Miracle that you are
I grew you
yes it through me
You changed my course
and I knew you had picked me

From the ground up
cell by cell
system by system
I held my breath
in each step

I wasn't supposed to be able
they told me
they told me
over and over
that's what they told me

I was alone
but I knew
that you and chosen
me
stardust was in my belly

I wouldn't 
I Couldn't 
Believe what they said
evacuate was a term
belief opposing had been seeded

Time passed
lightening speed
I tended
but you were the purpose
I had been lacking
you fulfilled the universal need

I give you all I am
I pour it into every day
the food
the laundry
the moments of night time lego stepping
the bathing
the folding
the playing
the walking

in my ears I hear
laughter
and each crack in my ancient heart 
is filled with alchemy
healing
as the laughter is peeling

its not all easy
the bridge over the fatigue
the back chat
the lack of knowledge of how hard I push
to give you a balanced life
fleeting

Because
I look at you
and my oh my
what a superior being you are to me
what gifts you give
what lessons I take

the gratitude 
that you chose me
that I could grow you
that even at this moment
fearful of missing out on a screen
that you lean 
that you lean on me

no other way would I have it
my reward for never giving up
for being rudderless all those years
you gave me life
oh how you gave me life
40 years of not living
6 now of feeling every beat

look at you gorgeous boy
ring side seats
'oh the places you shall go'
'oh the places you shall go'
