Did Discover a Long Huge Dock

Did Discover A Long Huge Dock

We did discover a long huge dock,
Which was big as entire city block;
Here and there,
And everywhere,
That had left us in a state of shock.

Scent To School

Walking to grade school without a care
Each morning at the same spot
Freshly baked bread scent filled the air
Straight from the oven, savory hot
Aroma so sweet, I never forgot

Laub's Bakery, a city block wide
It looked like a factory instead
I'd peek in the door ajar on the side
Where that lovely smell filled up my head
Etched in my brain, the essence of freshly baked bread

Through These Streets

Walking through these streets
Full of empty names
I pass another city block
But things aren't quite the same

I used to have a purpose
I used to have a place
But today things seem empty
In this busy space

Everything moves
At a faster rate
Gotta stake your claim
Before it's too late

Life will pass you by
If you don't even try
Gotta achieve my goals
Before it's too late and I die

Smother

I wanna buy you flowers

I wanna see the sun in those big brown eyes

I wanna see a movie

I wanna carve a house for you out of stone
I wanna pull the stars into the shape of your face

I wanna level a city block and plant trees just so you can have a nice place to sit and eat little sandwiches

I wanna kiss you

                            right as you fall asleep

I wanna get better

Spring Paintings by Kinkade

purple sky at eve
a log cottage by a stream
with windows aglow

after vietnam
my old familiar path home
lights and chimney smoke

lilac carnival
decorates each city block
it must be springtime

a splendid stone bridge
arched over a placid flow
june night memory

blue wildwood steeple
with many a wagon track
june morning service

dusk in the city
rain soaked streets thrusting up light,
cars, shops and people
