~ A Man Without A Home ~

~ my guitar eating me alive ~

~ A Man Without A Home ~

A shiver did my spirit seal
A tithing from the soul
A lotic brook turning real
In the name of repentant soul
My guilt, eating me alive...

When I have shown my sour face
And swigged from the horny mug
In a dive bar torn between races
Black and white within this hole I've dug
Night devours my unknown mistakes...

A liar cannot deliver a song
A burning drake or the night's crow
Make my music a suicidal sorrow
My nightmares destroy me before the show

Torn between bright lights of overdose
I am half naked on the stage, half dead
The faces bereft, the applause morose
Friendships white, the truth mulatto
I am a man without a home....

Now I lay me down to sleep
In the rainbow name of repentance
But I cannot sleep for I cannot dream
Or my guilt will steal my guitar's sentence
And continue to eat me alive
Yes,
I am a man without a home....

Tony Taylor

So sad humanity can’t ignore the outside and focus on the inside.
Nice piece of work Tony, full of feeling, anguish.
