You call me by my name, too intentional
I gather all the courage to think more rational
You always held me when I’m available
But truly who am I, for you negotiable?
Your time is priceless, I cannot bargain
Mine is typical, but I can always sustain
I never asked for more than everything
Just be part of yourself, I can

The Rebound
Will I ever be enough? You see sometimes it feels like it’s just you and me. I turn around ready to flee the scene, so we can have the alone time I’ve seen plague my dreams. But we were never really alone were we? What I had failed to see was that she was always

Full Circle Rebound
I met my second love near the day I left my first love.
I spent a year longer than with the one I felt was from above.
Now close to the day I met him, I have returned to my first love.

Monday Rebound
He rushed in the office with his bag in one hand, and coffee in the other hand; steam is shooting from his coffee cup, and he has eaten more than a dozen doughnut.
What on earth has he been doing last evening that cause such glutton the next morning? He sat up all night in

Before even one tear could dry
She caught a young man on the fly
Her fingers got wet
But that's what you get
Whenever you squeeze an hard guy!

Karmic Rebound
Karmic rebound but a mirror
To know God in-dwells all
That we may feel love within stir
Manifest as bliss squall
Ceasing to weigh and size
Oh hermit, here now rise
God’s pure love, realise
Desires unsound

Life Doesn'T Begin At Birth: Try, Fail, Rebound
Life Doesn't Begin At Birth (Try, Fail, Rebound)
When you're down depressed in a heap
and you see their want is all they seek
when you feel you've died but heart beats
numb are your nerves
your worst fears have fallen into place
when you've lost it all as it's gone to waste
and love fell short never there to trace
couldn't be

Catching the One In the Surf
It was a single loving light
That came from a fight
Nowhere in sight
Was there a defending knight
A very sporting miss
Dropping her guard during an emotional kiss
He was a guy
With a faithful image, no lie
It was one thing or another
And not ready to be a mother
Separating the

Best Shot
"It" came out of nowhere
and stood before me
glaring with green eyes
because I had a purpose
a meaning in my life
a reason to survive
there was nothing I had asked of "It"
only to "step aside"
because my path was clear
stay the course of my goals
my gifts my prize
as that is the

The Soliloquy
This show isn't worth
the cost of admission
but you have to attend
as the sole exhibition
You’re the audience,
lead role, and critic
bored by the drama
engaged as a cynic
Directed by the subconscious
your character is formed
and you watch in horror
as you helplessly perform
The theatrics are not lacking
the drama is realistic
the storyline is tragic
and the plot is narcissistic
Amused by your pathetic

Spring's Rebound
Something's not right thought Horace Hound
As he sprang from his bed with a harried bound
To rush outside while he grumbled and frowned.
Singing birds made a sweet soft sound
And tiny sprouts had appeared all round.
Branches of trees that had lately stayed browned
With green leaves and buds were now regally crowned.
Musky earth smells that were quite profound
Arose

Rebound From
find it difficult to
rebound from this lose
not able to bounce
back from this estrangement
no action has help
in the effort to emotionally
recover from the past
old emotive reactions are still present
whenever thoughts escape
from the subconscious into
the conscious

Rebound Girl
I was your rebound girl, you just used me to get over her
My feelings never mattered; I was just there for your pleasure.
Now you are over her I am out the door.
My love never mattered?
I fell in love with your family, your mom and dad… were they in on the
