MY CACTUS GARDEN

my cactus garden has been watered one time a year

cuz cactus don´t require so much water as roses do

the sun is up and all the weeds around seem to melt

but my garden keeps on whispering it´s almost sad but true

my cactus garden is full of rocks and other hard material

but it feels so soft I could walk barefoot on it and never get hurt

I think I am the desert lizard that enjoys the hot cutting sand

where love is a spider, sex is a scorpion and life´s just a flashing spurt

my cactus garden comes over me like a kind of nighfall beyond measure

and this darkness allows me to undress myself and run free thru the lanes

please don´t bring the morning while I´m running free thru the lanes!

it took me a lifetime to build a place from where I can´t hear the airplanes

my cactus garden is nothing but the craddle an angel once rocked my soul

I am the baby lizard cracking the eggshell on a sultry summer afternoon

I think I am the great rattlesnake oozing towards the center of this galaxy

where love is saturn, sex is mars and life´s just one side of the moon
