What I Have Done

I have climbed 300 steps
and sat beside the butchers pets.
I have etched in marble stone
and rose in blankets made of bones.
I have danced with withered whores
and laughed with sinning pirate bores
I have taken flights of mind
marched in armies of mankind.
I have burned the church yard down
danced on every hot red mound
and dug out wells with pales of red
and to the children gave stoned bread.
I watched the sea swell with delight
Gave hope to those with endless night
I grieve by every pauper's grave
like lovers tears for the newly saved.
I have sold off squares of skies
to melt off smooth in poisoned pies.
I have squander endless gold
from rich men's purse where I've cajoled
And I will drink my whiskey straight
and make a list of what I hate.
I will jump off aeroplanes
crashing through cathedral panes
And I will topple endless trees
upset the nest of surly bees.
And if you don't contain my spill
keep your promise in good will
For I am simply lost at sea
waiting that you come for me.
For I am simply biding time
waiting for that love of mine.
