"I Once Was Lost"
anonymous

I once was lost but now i'm found,
redeemed, located, tied down and tattered.
I move with my discretion, smooth, nonchalant grooves,
that slide by lines of letters, and ribbons of words I can't seem to place,
pronounce, taken over by sound,,,,,
"Yes i do declare," my stanzas take me from the ground,
that to which i could never look down,
that to which i will always keep my head up.
For i have been touched on the brow by the melody of muse,
taken, reused, recycled, and saturated.
Sopping up any and all alligations,
the sponge of my inspiration shall dwell.
Like wild window panes, crashing and clapping from a crafty ovation,
An encore performance from a starving artist,
magnificent guitartist he is....
Please lay your tune upon us, your troubles, your faith,
fill our mouths with the taste of your long lost rythem,
shave my belly to the beats of your buety, and stand naked......
Frolic in the streets free from pestering past times,
and loathing Gucci lotions.
Side wind promotions at sound bend retreats,
"And here have a treat," take a sip of my potion,
My words, my verbs, my nouns,
taste my smooth extravagant sound.
For some say that i am lost, but i think i have been
found.....................
