Option number two: gifts galore.
Remember the one you'll always adore.

Living the lap of luxury all that glitter isn’t gold
Whatever ‘retail therapy’ provides is not worth the soul
Compassion mixed with a dash of guilt thinking of the ‘have not’s
But it is not enough to stop waiting at the door for the UPS drop-offs
Money, greed, power...

Dark is the soul of a man who was crazy 
to let a pure love pass on by, 
his fear of commitment, his immature ways 
brought regret, and a tear to his eye. 

She was the perfect one, destined to flavour 
his days with a...

For my problems or my pain
Just let me take my shoes off
And go walking in the rain

Don’t give me no advice
From your theories obsolete
Just let me feel the “BIG BANG”
From my head down to my feet

Don’t share with me your "TALL...

Once you've got the writing bug, you'll know it.
It's not like other ailments you've had.
Instead of getting over it,
you're composing. When you find
you're popping out posies
almost daily - then

STOP."


Just write and write and write. Best advice I can give....

It calls to me like human flesh calls to Hannibal Lecter.

My lips need its sweet syrup to quench their desert dryness, 

Without this elixir i cannot live my life to its fullest and...

It is in the air 
Maybe the chair 
Giving everyone a health care scare 
And that is not fair 
Added to having the homework done 
And recess fun 
Wearing a mask 
Is the law abiding marketed task 
Saying this will solve the problem 
Scripted “We...
