ALPHABET OF AWKWARD AMOR
Awkwardly he made a pass
Bumped his head against the glass
Cheesy lines flew far and wide
Didn’t notice spinach fried
Ego big, but brain quite small
Fumbled trying to make a call
Gave her flowers — they had bugs
Hugged too...

The Conjuring
He sat alone, inside his own bubble of quiet,
indifferent to the scurrying sounds, the muted bustle
of people huddled around their departure gates.
I thought him rather overdressed for the weather
looking busy with something I...

Misery Without Company
What is me...misery...imbedded deep within
Buried at the bottom of a heart drenched in sin
Washed in doubt, turned inside out, nowhere to begin
Left alone, my unhappy home with silence as my friend
Unable to grasp how to...

until they become controversial
the current administration

that's why I should run
for president
I would represent you all
as I hate you, equally
no justification
just in my...

If you don't wear makeup, you're ugly. If you wear makeup, you're a fake.

A Fine Day In Cascais
A fine day in Cascais
A beautiful spring day in Cascais, the centre full of people
which I found a little disturbing.
We moved slowly on old legs like weather bitten barges
in a sea of jubilant racing boats.

Miracle Man
