Today, we're watching America fall, just as Rome fell
Today, we're watching America fall, just as Rome fell.
Democrats and Republicans have marched us straight into hell.
And just as Jesus, in predicting the End Times, did say ~
this will all happen before the current generation passes away.
As nations rise against nations, and America squanders its laurel wreath,
there will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I Fell in Love with You
On the road to who knows where
I fell in love with you
with nothing more than empty pockets
It's all I have to share
Love is all I have to give to you
I was born a pauper's son
who

After We Fell In Love
The world grew softer after we fell in love,
Even the winds spoke gently in the trees.
A silver hush followed the wings of doves,
And twilight seemed a blessing, not of grief.
The stars bent lower, trembling in their fire,
The rivers sang with voices newly sweet.
I felt the earth lift higher in desire,
And every flower leaned toward our

Too often, I fell in love with you, like falling asleep,slowly
Too often, I fell in love with you, like falling asleep—slowly, then all at once,
my heart warms every time I look at you, my gaze lingers,
every time you walk past, now I find myself always remembering you,
all the love songs and late-night scenarios are covered with thoughts of you.
Yet I wonder, am I helplessly in

NIGHT FELL
NIGHT FELL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As night falls, the blue curtain of day is pulled back. I am able to see out of the window called ‘the sky’ to the universe, the cosmos beyond my tiny part of the world. I stand beneath the night sky somehow feeling closer to the truth of who I really am.

Lede Buried, in I Fell
I bowed for the story line.
Hunched over in suspense,
I hung-out for the punch line.
The twists of plot
lured me to the edge.
I could see the lede
lying buried below me.
Reaching in to grab it,
I toppled over, fell right in,
and became the story line.

It Fell Into a Crack
Uhoh, it fell into a crack,
and now, by God, I want it back.
Alas, my poor unsettled brain
is going to go barking insane.
Oh Lord, why hasn't heaven sent
the necessary implement
to get this missing morsel free?
Crevice you are the end of me.

Where the stardust fell
I saw it
I saw the place the moon kept secret
It was uncovered tonight
And as I looked up to the
Pastel clouds, pink and blue
I saw stardust
Fall from the sky
I watched to see where it went
And as it was about to hit the surface of the
Seemingly glowing lake
It disappeared
I went over
And looked into the

I Slowly But Swiftly Fell
I slowly fell deeply into a sensual daze
After the hours I kept his intense gaze.
Hoping what we have is not a phase,
As for what I am feeling, there is no phrase.
I swiftly fell the moment we kissed on his bed,
After the hours he waited, while I was in his head.
Wishing for his love, without a

rooster fell in love with Cali Kitten
The rooster was in love, thrown off his feed, smitten
He had fallen in love with a gorgeous tabby kitten
The cat in question still lived with her sainted mother.
Don’t date a fowl bird! Warned her prejudiced brother.
The rooster could not stay away from his love’s alley.
He was totally love-sick for this kitten named Cali.
He put on

Fell in Love Wiff de Music
Sappy swet got me yucking
coming down off the high
see thats what Im
feeling
so emotional
jealousy and possessiveness
that's what I'm
thinking of
doing this and doing that
Obsessives and stalking
An unhealthy codependency
thaats what your kinda love
means to me
neglecting others focusing
on ya'll selfishness
forgetting me
tryna make me miss
aint that simple
you wanna be with him
don't come running back
to me again
it's toxic
and unhealthy
it's mean

Oh, How We Fell
Ancient howling came back to Earth
And before long more species followed
Some contested against this unnatural birth
But no one could deny it’s monetary worth
Then after a little - our world was swallowed
Even though we lacked a time machine
We ended back up in
