Cat on the couch
Always asleep
Wonder if
Your thoughts are deep
A world awaits
A window away
Yet here is where
You spend your day
Deep inside a dream
Perhaps you fly

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011You Will Be Amazing
Thursday, February 24th, 2011You will be amazing
The most beautiful and wonderful person
to never know I exist
or if you know that much
the truth of how I feel.
You will be amazing
but always wondering
what it is I’m not saying
that makes me cry around you
Even when I keep the tears inside
I get the feeling you can see them in my eyes,
for you are amazing.

Monday, February 14th, 2011There is no hope for love within this heart.
There is no dream of something better that I can believe in.
Darkness ahead, as deep as the darkness behind me,
How many years will I stumble along,
When there’s nowhere to be going to?
Subway Guy, not Jared
Monday, January 31st, 2011I would work long hours
Knowing your shoulders waited for me at home
To rest my head upon
And those eyes
To stare into
Curly headed cutie
The toaster may be broken
in your store
I’m still sweating bullets
from the heat in you.
Music and words together
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011On very rare occasions, the original source for a song sample will come up in my random playlist, providing a moment of cognitive dissonance. Today, I heard Jack Kerouac’s voice talking about jazz, and had a moment of recognition, connecting his spoken word piece from some collection of beat poetry, to the sample at the beginning of a Chumbawamba song.
Larry
Monday, November 22nd, 2010First it got dark
Then it got scary
But then it turned out
That his name was Larry
So everyone sighed
A breath of relief
That all would be well
And held to that belief
Hard Nights, Soft Days
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010A flower in her hair
Like someone stuck it there
A reminder of what never was
A hopeful dream of just because
The music on the radio
Is ringing in my ears
There’s nothing really to it
The sum of all my fears
Playing out the same old game
No one ever knows my name
But I’ll still be here just the same
Another day
Another night
Another star that burned too bright
Open your eyes
Close up your heart
These are the days
When we walk apart.
