BUTTERFLY
A butterfly, yellow gold Red, blue and ocean green The sweetest side of nature’s soul I think I’ve ever seen Yesterday it captured me I rode upon its wing Naively did it beckon me With tender thoughts of spring The wind, it fiercely blew And the sky turned dreary gray There’s nothing that the world...

Chitter Chatter
I can hear the chitter chatter Of the mice down the alleyway. They’re always talking about me; One of these days they’re gonna’ pay! N ever meant to be, their enemy; Just sitting here by my fire. Haven’t eaten lately and their rants’ Are fueling my desire. M y gloves, they have no fingers; While my...

Air Of Summer
A weekend with my dog Spending time at the city lake We’ll rent a boat and try to fish I’ll paddle until I ache If we get tired we’ll bank it Maybe rest beneath a tree I may just throw his ball away So he can bring it back to me And if the heat gets brutal We’ll both jump in the drink And swim like...

Do You Ever Find Yourself So Alone ... That It's Difficult To Breathe?
An Empty Place Why are we here? Seeds of a dominant flower, Blown about by careless winds To bed with the company of dead grass. Somewhere between dusk and dawn In an empty place where loneliness lives; We find ourselves here dreaming As the night air turns to rain. We are the gamin; Prisoners of...

STOLE YOUR SOUL!
Was it your mommy or was it your dad, Was it the best friend that you never had? Was it the lover that left you alone? Or your very first puppy that never came home? Could it be money? You seem filthy rich. Maybe its loneliness, nighttime’s a bitch. What was it in life that left such a hole? Was it...

Pretty Apple
There was a worm inside my apple My apple around that worm He chewed and chewed with no remorse Never broke the skin, still nice and firm My apple sat there being pretty I never knew such violation That worm inside – with its fat belly Just eating, sleeping, like on vacation I lusted for that dark...

God Has His Nightlight On
Tonight’s a special night God has his nightlight on It has a face that’s smiling bright The sky will glow ‘til dawn My son’s especially pleased As it gently lights his room With his hands folded - on his knees He thanks heaven for the moon His innocence, it blesses me One day it’ll all be gone...

Don't Give Up On Love
I've got a picture Of you by my bed There's so much more Of you in my head Like the things you said You're so afraid Of what tomorrow may bring I'll find somebody new You must be dreaming I'm never leaving you Sometimes I feel Like I'm wasting away That's when I think about my love And everything's...

Dumbwaiter
Was wrapping up the taco meat Leftover from our dinner Thought about who couldn’t eat And felt just like a sinner Kids are hungry elsewhere Their parents, starving too Exhaling I think, it’s not fair I wish it weren’t true Oh, how I’d love a dumbwaiter To take the scraps away What a feast it would...
