The Bone Shaker
You want me
To search
My soul
Honey
I spent my life
So far
Doing that
You want me
To know
Which way is up
All I learnt
Is that kind of search
Brought me down
You think
I don't want
To dance
With you
Take those steps
Baby
Those steps
I learnt from the womb
But
You know
That heartbeat
I've not found
Since I smelt
The air and
These roses
They don't smell
So fresh
That make up
Don't wash
So good
Rock me
Cradle that thing
Within me
Make my bones
Shake
Because all I get
Right now
Is that
Train
Rattling
All on its own
To the place
In the clouds
Which I feel
I come from
But I can't touch
However high
I climb

It always takes two or three readings to bring the ideas together, but once connected, the impact is intense. I 'hip-hop' my way through the lines for the best effect. A true philosopher you certainly are.
