redundant and out of work,
too old to fit in -
downtown,it is pouring down,
the umbrella's in the hall
Death seems to be my life,
Each day i seize to fade,
Every waking moment and breath
We are all slowly drifting away.
I want to hear from Heaven above,
About my Savior's undying love,
Oh, tell me that story again.

My heart is cool
for it is full
of your sweet memory.
My eyes are calm
for they've become
Eden of your sweet love.
A torn sepia picture deforms my lovelorn face.

it's a shame
because it can be very good
though I might not be as good at titling
as at writing
and so can anyone be
Say
Say you love me
Say you won't let go
Say I'm yours
Why
Do I keep waiting
Waiting for my lonely heart to break
Send me a text this Christmas
I shall savour every line
Remember dreams
Those happy beams
With moments we hold so dear
Piss and wind
Blow in the night
Flowing down stream
Piss and wind
As the wind blows, the piss flows
And a man is relieved
How dark was the night,
when Judas betrayed,
and none of them stayed,
But Jesus went on for me.

At 1 B.C.
In a country of lonely,
Felt bare in me, Holy;
As a mother,
In covenant style,
Came forth a little child –
There are so many flowers on my balcony!
There is so many sky above my balcony.
My loved August will arrive here soon.
I want to do Thy will,
Whatever it may be,
That You may dwell within my heart,
For all eternity.

April tuned to Vivaldi's music,
Pour porto into your glass with ease.
Just open gas valve in the kitchen
And breathe...
I will have to start it all new
At thirty two, at thirty two,
Selection process isn't due
Til you decide that it is due.
Let the joy that flows in the gate of affection
Flood your world like an ocean
And water your desert with a unique bloom.
You look so fair for dwelling on,
Forever so shall I dwell,
Nor break in two the twining spell
That binds my soul to you.
Ex stalking is never good idea,
Resilient equilibrium.
Hang in Dahab, make Hajj to Medina
Instead of a course of Librium.
her lips
add traces
of
love
her love
adds
an
trace
to my lips
my what
an
taste
her lips
?
Pull me closer
Let the world fall
Far away from us
We can pretend
That we're alone
Forget them
I can be your home.
Sparkling lights, warm stories
Sounds and smells that linger
Throughout a season, so short
But praised with such meaning
Tender memory
Of yesterday flashing…
Her vision—my mantelpiece
Mother’s love
Little boy golden sunshine
Well grown…I am
Joe puts his name on mirror with lipstick
So that in the morning, geez,
He doesn't waste so much time recalling
Who he is.
Don't you worry about Hanna,
She will be by you - an old shoe -
If that sent heavenly manna
Was in fact intended for you.
As if atonement for the fierceness of a storm, it bequeaths a glorious rainbow.
