Cleanfill and cement
selected pigments of orange and blue
a stiff chilling sky blue hue
to create a scenic spektical
beauty
marks the walls a sight for
people to admire
perfection
and style Phor-Lustoreteaze
the sight of marveled perfection
the lavishness
and her beauty
makes grown men
crumble and fall
her smile and capitavtivness
make me more eager to call
guess I oughta
doll up for her
since she so pretty
and everything
I bought a watch in
dellrio
these diamonds go
with everything

Oh, how I love the stillness of the night,
when moonbeams surf upon the dim grey sands,
to flood a hamlet’s coastline with their light,
And sketches silhouettes of seaweed strands.
Oh, how serene the swish of soothing breeze,
that travelled miles to wrap around my face,
And rustle leaves where birds amass in trees,
to twitter self to sleep with charm and grace.
Oh, how delightful are the nightly hums,
of crickets chirping to allure their mate,
of hooting owls, as night’s symphony strums,
and slowly lulls your eyes to slumber state.
This witching blank bliss of nocturnal realm,
helps cleanse my mind of thoughts that overwhelm.

Nightmare strums the Loom
A dream I guess perhaps it was
I seemed a child at play
An angry father did appear
His temper foul that day
You let the dog kill the cat
He loudly said to me
Grabbing the dog
And it went splat
Little dog he died you see
I was shocked awake
By the violent scene
And looked across the room
Grey ghostly cat went zip and back
Grey doggie was there soon
Do we travel in our sleep
Old adventures other tunes
Another place and time we creep
When Nightmare strums the loom

guitar strings strum
one
one
one
and it feels like with every note
I'm taking a step up
like I'm walking up a stair case
and there's no walls around me
just the wonder in my head
and my heart is waiting; pounding
guitar strings strum
one
one
one
and there's a vibration change
and the rhythm shakes me high
and the thought of dying melts
and the feel of crying flies
the only sensation I could feel
is the love of you an I

Listen, do you hear the strumming, The sweet sounds of us.
As I lay ,the duets, and the falls.
With notes high and low, the vibrations became you.
They went to the out and to the all.
...Then in a moment.. the duality and journey had stopped.
With oceans heated and the earths shake.
No you and no me.
One sound causing a divine double take
As it was, as it will
for a brief everlasting heartscore
This strumming became something
and with thumbs nsync, we walked heavens tour.

He strums guitars over my head
While my cheeks are flushed pink
Like the sheets on my bed
Stolen glances will never come back
The pulse of my body
Screams loudly, “Heart attack!”
Oh, how the pillow hits my skull
Not the other way around
Pain from his voice is dull
No stars, solely strings to be heard
All twanged by his fingers
Fit perfect with his word
Electronic voice waves float below
A speaker pumping love
From this boy, a hello
