Creature of Curls (Vincent)

Creature of Curls (Vincent)

A Poem by R.E.K.
"

A man i used to know

"
Somewhere in the 
Mountain of curls
Silent and 
Sensational
Plays a little gold harp
And sits a 
Scared little boy
Afraid of the jungle, 
Afraid of the shadows that lurk
Somewhere in the 
Pile of pain

Somewhere in this person
Lives a bleeding, bleating heart
A ram of a person is he
Strong a sacred
Wild and young
Moonlit beach skin 
And eyes of an orphan 
Who wears his brothers clothes

And would you hate me
(More than you do already) 
If the most tender thing 
I'm dying to do
Is to close your eyes
Lay a blanket of you
And tuck your curls
Behind your left ear
Behind your laugh
That I'll never hear

I'm afraid that your voice is
Hollow
I'm more afraid that it is
Like all of your pillows
Soft and full
And deep and flowery

I don't know, 
Maybe it's both

And I know
That you wish you could
Unstick yourself
From this cycle of sleeping
But if for now, 
All you are doing is dreaming
Dare to dream big 
And dare to do it 
Beautifully
So that when you awake
A part of it comes with you 
And manifests itself in reality

On me, 
Your eyes found a small corner
Sat there begging for a home
A home that no matter how much I want
I cannot give you
For it hurts me, 
And it will not carry you

For I cannot give you a healing
That only you can ask G-d for
Your eyes are
Asking a question that
Only you can answer
And 
It breaks both of us
But you should know 
To G-d
There is
Nothing 
As 
Whole 
As 
Broken 
Heart, 
As a 
Broken
Soul. 

To G-d, 
There is nothing as regal 
As a rams horn
He who scrambles mountaintops
Lost, fallen and forlorn
But at the end of all days
At a new dawn,
Through its toil
Redemption is sounded
And through this curly haired ram
Through his horn, 
The world is healed
The world is 
Reborn.
