A Monk's Life

poem by: Anthony Blake
Written on Jun 17, 2023

You can shackle you
It’s so hungry in the dark
It’s some cruel penance 

Unclear agony
Who shows up, who walks away
When can we know trust

A new disaster
Until forever we’ll dance
Now ways separate

Let me be the one
I will bleed out your sickness
I’ll always find you

Yesterday arrived
All my feelings have survived
Not that innocent

The yang to her yin
As long as you are not you
Worth walking the wire
 
A promise broken
It’s just a shot away now
A ghost protocol

The buzz will kill you 
From love to love encounter
Love me no longer

Don’t bring me water
Bring me the truth bring justice
Collect the pieces

Behind walls of pain
Closing my eyes and drift away
You buzzkill baby
