I manifested a thought
At once from afar
I fixated and I fought
And I fell hard
But the fighters win
And the lovers lose
And they blend together
And produce a fool
But let me be a fool for you
Let me walk and slip and tread
Let me breathe the water and
I'll be well written if you'll be well read
I burst a vessel
And so my pen bled
I reeled and I wrought
And small fires I fed
But the lovers live
And the living die
And the dead know no men
And no men cry
But let me live and cry for you
Let me muse and flow and ebb
Let me be the water and
I'll be well listened if you'll be well said
I dreamed a miracle
On a nebulous star
And it seemed spiritual
So I took it to heart
But the dreamers sleep
And the sleeping wake
And the waking face reality
And reality aches
But let me please girl ache for you
Let me grow and be and bend
Let me breathe you in again
I'm being insistent that we be well met
