The Humble Rock Dove

06/04/22

You cant escape the tiger,

Human life has had its time,

Together.

Now its time to smash the circus,

Insane, though such a thought may be.

I was programmed at a young age,

To take bees out of bonnets,

And steal the light on stage,

To show someone,

How simple life can be,

When you learn that role,

When you get down,

Emotionally,

I’ll be here under your request,

But perhaps not,

Physically.

When you’re not here,

You’re always here, with me,

Looking in my mirror,

You stand behind my face,

And I see your body floating,

In that capsizing boat.

Never alone, always lonely,

Keep me in your mind,

As much as you can,

I will sink to and through you,

I’ll praise you for being yourself.

I’ll keep unwelcome deliveries,

From goading on your heart,

Indifferent to what you chose.

I will keep the nights silence,

Always ever before me,

Because, behold, you made me sing,

A sweet-soft hallelujah.

&

I never want to spoil another thing again.
