Damp Crow Lines

it's a holiday carrying only incinerated dreams,
 childhood memories gather on aged pine floor boards
falling one-bye-one from
  the crowing corners of eyes,

 at the switch of the lights
this year I'll tell you thanks,
  for the seed of thought
in me that bloomed into independence
 and stubbornness,

  a valiant passion
coarsing in each la-dub
 of my heart's chambers,
years of youth were dicated by youth and madness,

it's ill-fating the words
  constant in their attack to the present,
 were slipped precariously from foreign lips
and tongues with no soul,

broken down the middle,
 let go and release the weight,
take the poker and stoke
  the burning embers,
walking the zig zagged line
 of a stone walled heart,
the only gray haze emotion left
  is the one of survival,

 gray haze of survival,
it's a love not supported by deed,
  a facade to the green
 in the veins and arteries
with yellow crossing the eyes,

 it's always a battle
to effectively manage
  both sides of the game and referee,
 even after the regs. changed
and people came and went
  the old habits are forbidden
from passing away into a
 former time,

all the whimpering soul
 wants is love to become pure,
given in respect,
  it sets out in its image
each passing moment of life
 demonstrate fading hopes.
