MAKAVELI FIGURINE

 

Passion projects Love objects that we long to collect

And possess, subjects of our consciousness

That suggest the gifts that have blessed

Our identity as we bet and aspire to be the best

 

Our soul our role

Is it the way we survive

Is it the way we rise to thrive

Feel alive inside as we sit side by side in this ride

 

Cruising to the sound, treasure to be found, like black stitched leather seats

Home bound to return to the source and the triumphant drum beat

Of our heart who can define this for all, each in their own dream

Since The Fall what is the right thing other than the truth we sing

Delighting in something seen

 

A deep rooted and massive Oak Tree

The tattood physique of a Makaveli figurine

Ray Lewis’s vascularity like lightning, tackling or dancing

And Richard Pryor in his red tuxedo laughing

A sun set

A dawn

Isn’t love the appreciation and admiration of what we look upon

Marilyn Monroe’s lips or hips or Arthur Miller’s reading list

Mila Jovavich’s Divine Comedy

What are these things that make you you and me me

What we long to be

Like the butterfly flapping its wings to eventually cause a hurricane over the sea

The rebel in Jame’s Dean sensitivity refined

Love objects is the revolution defined

The push and pull

The beautiful baby born and the painted and decorated skull

The twist and turn

The bon fire that burns on the beach sand and highlights your physiognomy

Preciously and I would be melancholy if I didn’t realize you were

Already eternally inside of me my friend

And, then again, 

 

What are the love objects that you see?
