Romp

July 23, 2024


Eyes and hearts and thoughts and tongues and souls
Filling out the forms and playing roles

Lilies roses time and weeds and stones
Dancing dreaming walking all alone

Beauty sorrow wind and breath and joy
Living rousing romps of girls and boys

Love and truth and grief and spring and sun
Singing every day until you're done

just because I like you

July 5, 2024


just because I like you
it doesn't mean
you have to like me

you flirted and you smiled
I buzzed around you
like a bee
but you got bored
and left me hanging
like a monkey in a tree


just because I like you
it doesn't mean
you have to like me

just because you like me
it doesn't mean
that we're gonna be
I know I don't fit in
with so many things
you wanna be


just because I love you
it doesn't mean
you have to love me

Frazzlepat

July 4, 2024

Hyenas hustle
Curtains rustle
Candles flicker
Spirits snicker

What's that
Frazzlepat?
Jiggling bed's
Just in my head

Somewhere
Over the cuckoo's nest
I shut my eyes
But there isn't any rest
