Open Palm

Jump to Comments

smear me with blue notes

send me dizzy

make me bold and subtle

let this pen sing tonight,

sing for those who need it

sing for those who want it

sing for those who’ve already got it

cause there’s never gonna be enough

 

take me in style

let me lean on the smoke

wrap up in the fog

let the only offering in your hand

be that of an open palm

 

starts above me flow like water

the air speaks

brimming with the ecstasy of living

my head is filled with the sound

the sound that is Indian silk

a New York street,

language

replete with intricacies not yet beheld

 

so, enter happy chaos

soul satisfying,

yes it is

turn the pages with awakened fingers,

eyes aglow like the warm embers of a new born fire

no reflection

it’s all inside,

happily trapped,

yet waiting to fly,

so fly…

fly within me and never stop
