CAUGHT BETWEEN
LIGHT AND DARKNESS
IN A SAVAGE TIME
I TRIED TO GIVE MEANING
TO THE VOICELESS
AND THE DYING
I SOMETIMES SPOKE TO TRAVELERS
ON THEIR HAUNTED ROAD TO NOWHERE
DURING MOMENTS OF INDECISION
LOST BEFORE
A VACANT SUN
ON AN EMPTY HIGHWAY
I BUILT MY FAILING
IN QUIET DESPERATION
AS I FOLLOWED LIFE TO NOWHERE
LIKE A CAN KICKED ON FOREVER
THROUGH THE JAGGED
FOCUS OF MY MIND
I LOOKED FOR
A KINDER FATE
WHILE PAINTING
PICTURES ON THE SKY
BUT I NEVER KNEW THAT STARLIGHT
WOULD BURN OUT
BOTH MY EYES
OR THE BRISTLES OF MY BRUSH
WOULD TURN TO ASHES

Good job so far, Bobby!
ReplyDeleteLet me ask you, purely out of curiosity: what's the chance you'll post some of your song lyrics on here as well?? I'm left to wonder what some of the words were to some of your songs--that's the only reason I ask. As many times as I've given your music a listen, you were kind of hard to understand sometimes, when you were younger. No offense.
So, no way for me to know unless I ask.
Forgive me. I consider myself a very loyal reader & listener of yours, and you never cease to amaze me with all you do.
Best wishes, and again, this is a wonderful new blog--one more bright spot on the Internet, in my opinion,
