The Grand Exploration

There is a grand exploration 
And it goes beyond our limited education
Where we are taught what to learn
And I feel the limitations burn
At the edges of my conscious attention
I hear the wings of what they do not mention
And seek out new terrain
Like searching facebook and that boy's name
And it doesn't get me far
Like chasing every solitary car
To help know what you are
But you elude definition
You are a first edition
From somewhere in eighteenth century England
And I'm just an outlaw people try to disband
Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor
But I see you and the door
Opens wide and the light pours through
It was only in the night I thought of you
Now it's all the time
And I sew you into every rhyme
And reason that I can find
The thoughts of you have invaded my mind
And set fire to all my belligerent foe
They tell me to just let you go
But the thing they do not know
Is that I do not want to, so
That's just the way it's gonna be
That's just me and that's history
That's the forest and the mystery
Like Robin and the merry men
I know I'll see you again

Throwback

I’ll never be the perfect twenty something, I fell too far down the crevice for that
I’ll never be Pru Halliwell with her fresh face and perfect black
But I’m charmed in other ways as I’m sure you know
I can’t move objects with my mind but I can make you go
And you fall so easily at the drop of a hat
All men must die but you live forever and I wasn’t expecting that
You hold time on a string, you’re so very Dr Strange
As you bend reality all will rearrange
And that cloak flip fits the bill as you smack it to and fro
You gaze your resting worried eyes like you are John Snow
Peering into my soul like I am the bottom of a well
Your personal helicon, I’ll be narcissistically yourself
