Matthew Songs
"Matthew Songs"
they sing their Matthew songs to me
Heaven’s hold is paved by stains ingrained
in glory dream streets of burnished gold
angels crowned by The shining nebulous, like poker cards fold
their heads bowed low to a mystery risen riding clouds
that fly across an empyreal chariot sky
all shades of intermittent blistering blue,
their memories now far

Silly Love Songs
Mrs. Hickey, you’ve been on my mind,
just like a ball of twine
on a spool that never ends.
Though I’d never clapped an eye on you
my hands explored you:
feel the knees on me!
Hey, baby, let’s take a chance:
I left the condoms in my other pants.
Rollicking times,
late November back in sixty-three,
that’s when I shot John F. Kennedy
(superstar, but

Let The Flowers Grow Again
Smiles of roses in our garden wither,
As the wings of our love mid-air dither,
Our songs are sung without their melody,
We live our lives in black and white,
Our love's colours stolen by the rainbow,
With our cloudy skies missing the stars' glow,
Rather our lean cheeks bear the pool of tears,
Enough to form two times the Pacific.
Though the

Love Songs Don't Sound As Good As They Used To
Have you heard
the one about the
birds and the
bees?
I never much liked
it myself, because it
soured the taste of
our innocence.
Or maybe our
innocence soured
the taste of us.
So much for happy endings,
and so much for love.
So much for innocence,
and so much for us.
You’re an old slow dance.
You’re an old song.
And if I’m being
honest—
I still think back to that
time I

Dean Martin Songs
Send me a pillow that you dream on, standing on the corner in a tuxedo suit
Dean Martin is a hero, and a singer to boot
Memories are made of this makes me smile so wide too
As does listening to you’re nobody til somebody loves you,
Fly me to the moon, so wonderful, the lyrics fine.
Everybody loves somebody,

songs on the radio
help.
the song, the lyrics, the music.
its burning, my hearts on fire.
listening to it makes me think of your words
sitting in your car singing "ill always love you"
you lied...
you turned the radio in my heart off
you took my heart and the left, left like we didn't love each other
like the memories left your mind.
you're not

Good Morning Prayers
Dear Lord Jesus
You're my friend and You are my brother even though You are a King,
I love You more than any other and my soul belongs to you.
You're my Rock and You're my Shield to You alone will I gladly
Yield. As the deer pants for the water, so my soul does long
For You.
I

Songs Paused in the Tree
Since the elderly king greatly loved music, his court esteemed it, too;
As sun and moon smile on myriad colors, during the butterfly revue.
The king was well loved and jolly, with the queen, always by his side.
He ruled with caring. Like rainbow hued peaks, where indifference died.
His glorious reign had been lengthy, and the vast kingdom

Songs of Dawn
Dawn spreads her wings upon valleys and hills
humming to the tranquil brook
songs of misty morrow
scarlet, crimson, pink flowers sway along
like dancing ballerinas
to a beautiful day

A Siren's Song
Luna beckon's a siren's song
To reach the crescent moon,
she awakens before the water serpents arise,
and sea merchants sailing in from shores nearby
At crack of dawn and drawn to flickering lights,
night's natator of the bluest sea

Songs of Hope
She sang from the depths of her soul,
Songs of hope and redemption.
A river flows gently through her chamber,
Searching for the gate to Zion.
She has journeyed many times out of the night,
Yet it still lingers behind her.
A rhythm of turbulence fills her soul.
