"As dead as leaves" I'd taken leave
of any sense for life’s new lease.
My wish - to be the centerpiece.
How very reckless to perceive
my charms like magic could unweave
tight-woven strands, pursuit's pet peeve.
Desire was merely whim’s caprice -
"as dead as leaves".
Three friends had learned that friends believe
distrust just dares one to deceive.
As kids we’d worked out jealousy
now three’s a crowd - two’s company.
Alas, as number three, I grieve
"as dead as leaves."
April 4, 2022
As Dead as Leaves is from the English band, Radiohead, an alternate title for Scatterbrain from their album Hail to the Thief.

You don't
You've gone off the rails
So don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen..."

"Sung In"
We are notes
on the tongue
of God
Each of us words
in a never ending
sentence
Music is math
God breathes us in
out of Time
We are but droplets
past and present
participles
wet behind the ears
unable to hear
the full melody
of
"what is this song?"
We move
punched out
perfect and yet wrong
holy and unholy
chords pulled tight
and we are automata running
under the pedals
of bare feet bleeding
playing a symphony
We do not fully understand
and we are slowly
beings being
low tides
caught in the ripped veil
sung in
blind
unseeing
(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)

Love will win…in the end.
We are meteors on a collision course with love.
We have seen the hard times and we have had enough.
Golden band promises do not seem to mean a thing,
To those who claim to be in love, whilst in secret they cheat.
We fall apart in each other’s arms;
All in the name of love.
We hope and dream and scream and shout!
All because of love.
I wish it could work out for you, I really do,
But I am exercising my right to say nothing.
I would tell you how to, if only I knew,
But I do not know what it takes to hold onto this love thing.
My radiohead is full of love songs.
They all tell their tale of how love will win…in the end.
Every heart I choose to follow always turns out to be wrong,
But I will keep trying to walk hand in hand,
Even if we are only ever going to be friends.
Love has its hooks in my heart and I cannot resist.
I am constantly tripping over plastic charms, but still I persist.
I am (never) going to fall in love,
Until I do…that time sure does look good.

There isn’t a true home
No matter where I live
Everywhere feels unknown
Too long to only feel under achieve
I did not choose to become who I am
I only realize along the way
Pushed and push again beyond what can
I only understand and say its okay
Why is each life so limited?
Once again I resent what we teach ourselves
We are our world so prohibited
I rather die alone with my stories in shelves
It’s really hard living in a world with what I know
I have to go on pretending and nodding
In such a dysfunctional world for me to behold
You couldn’t even imagine what my mind is suppressing
I need a place I can call home
An owned space I might just attain and achieve
Simply a place to call my own
A place to die alone after I live

The Words Are Wrong
The words are wrong, in this Radiohead song;
The words are wrong, in this Radiohead song.
The words are wrong; she wears me out.
The words are wrong, in this Radiohead song.

when music associations
hinder your daily cultural existence and evolution,
you cringe at the sound of a lyric.
heart breaks just a bit,
like a rotting house,
cracking,
yearly reaching an inch,
and over time,
accelerating in speed.
but then you come to a hault,
a conscious self identifying conclusion,
that in fact you might, just might,
get the **** over it.
you do.
you then find yourself,
singing the tune,
inside your brave skull.
hmmm hm hm hm mm m
ooooouuuu yea.
thank you.

As loving you no longer lingers,
Against my hand of broken fingers
Of which I've washed the Past away
(The second skin I've shed today!)
To block, to shield, to guard- protect!
But will it last the length to trek?
I'll run right and you leap left,
Our rendezvous to be discreet
Forward, backward we progress-
And in the middle we will meet
*based partly on a lover's spat and a Radiohead song ;)
