Summer Wave

I am riding a wave of discontent into the ocean
crashing onto myself over and over
the swell swells inside me lifting me higher
and I laugh until I fall

I am on an iceburg in the darkest sea
only this cold do I float above the waves
any warmer and I’d sink to the briny bottom
global warming is a dirty trick you see

but I’m lying on back face up to the sky
but all I see is my black dark night
chivalry is all but dead and mind plays tricks
thoughts lost in the next big wave

There are two things in life I fear
disappointment and heartache
The only two things in life are these
disappointment and heartache

will I fall upon the beach at last
will I sink in summer’s blasts
only time will tell the score
tell me this, tell me more

the image lasts with eyes wide shut
like a glimpse in our sun’s gut
and all that glitters soon in gone
and for all that heartbreak I soon long

I’m riding on a wave of hope
But waves they crash in time
In time my mind will fry like
all the old I see around me

gone and gone and gone besides me
