A little heaven big enough for two

September 28, 2025 


A funny movie on a rainy day
Things we’re feeling but we cannot say
 
I say goodbye to all the gloomy doom
Just by knowing that you're in the room

A gentle symphony of you and me
Dissolving into simple melody
Greatest beauty that could ever be

Like a fire on a frozen night
You bring the heat and keep it burning bright 

So many hurts and stings and scary things
Shelter me with all the love you bring

A gentle symphony of you and me
Dissolving into simple melody
Greatest beauty that could ever be

More contentment than I ever knew
A little heaven big enough for two

A gentle symphony of you and me
Dissolving into simple melody
Greatest beauty that could ever be

They can talk and they can talk

June 21, 2025 


You're my where 
You’re my why
You’re my supply 
You get me high 
Times are tough 
The well is dry
But we're gonna get by 

They can talk and they can talk
They’re lying
Up and down the block
They know we got everything
We don’t have to say a thing

Their bitter lives of misery
Don’t wanna know 
What they see
When they look at you and me
It’s what they’re never gonna be

They can talk and they can talk
They’re lying
Up and down the block
They know we got everything
We don’t have to say a thing

You can’t go back to nothing even if you thought it was something

March 5, 2025 


You can't go back to nothing 
Even if you thought it was something

You can't resurrect
Something that was 
Never alive
I got myself wrecked
Too stupid to suspect
It was a lie
The dream 
I thought I had
Was so much worse 
Than bad
How could she ever
Love another guy?
 
You can't go back to nothing 
Even if you thought it was something

She stomped 
On my head 
Left my body 
For dead
Half frozen barely breathing 
In the snow 
That's when I knew 
The love 
I thought was true 
Was just 
A dilly dally 
Do-si-do 

You can't go back to nothing 
Even if you thought it was something

A notion and a daydream

January 17, 2025 

The world is a river
It sings to me in rhyme
Tiny specks of matter
Straddle space and time

The rhythm of the ocean
Berries on the vine
The universe in motion
Your body talks to mine

Vagrant spirits jingle
Clad in sundry hue
Everything that ever was
Lives inside of you

The rhythm of the ocean
Berries on the vine
The universe in motion
Your body talks to mine

A smile and a sunbeam
A moment and a prayer
A notion and a daydream
Your love is everywhere

The rhythm of the ocean
Berries on the vine
The universe in motion
Your body talks to mine

Crazy has its price to pay

January 8, 2025 


History hurts and hunger haunts
Crazy is the right response
To bombs and guns and poverty
And men who trade in misery

Crazy has its price to pay
And it don't push the pain away

Photographs are flat and wrong
Profiles sing an empty song
Crazy has its price to pay
And it don't push the pain away

Wind and raindrops sun and snow
Watch the weather come and go
Fiddledum and fiddledee
I like the way you look at me

Choice Virtues

December 4, 2024 


Of her choice virtues only gods should speak,
Or English poets who grew up on Greek
-Theodore Roethke 

What is beauty?
What is love?
What is color?
What is art?

What is laughter?
What is sunshine?
What is rustling
In my heart?

What is real?
What is romance?
What is magic?
What is true?

What are raindrops?
What are roses?
What are puppies?
What are you?

What is light?
What is time?
What is space?
What's a star?

What makes
The heavens sing
Everywhere 
You are?

Best of Creation

September 20, 2024 


Happy and laffy
And healthy and whole
Vibrant and lovely
In body and soul

Jump on my shoulders 
I'll lift up your world
The best of creation
A kindhearted girl

I'll be your servant
I'll be your clown
Don't ever stop laughing
Don't ever get down

Jump on my shoulders 
I'll lift up your world
The best of creation
A kindhearted girl

Horrors and hopeless
Life gets so cold
Warm up my world
With a hand I can hold

Jump on my shoulders
I'll lift up your world
The best of creation
A kindhearted girl

The good thing was I knew I wasn’t good enough for you

September 17, 2024 



The good thing was I knew
I wasn't good enough for you
As your love for me grew
There was nothing left to do

I crawled away from your skirt
My digression was overt
Digging deeper in the dirt
I could never stop your hurt

The good thing was I knew
I could never love you true
I didn't have the will to stop
Until our love was on top

Now I'm a silly stupid fool
And my carelessness was cruel
The good thing was I knew
I wasn't good enough for you

I don’t need to know

August 10, 2024 

I don't need to know
every place you've ever been
everything you did
every thought you ever had
ever since you were a kid

I don't need to know
where you learned to walk that way
how you fix your hair
where you got those pretty shoes
the designers that you wear

I don't need to know
the alchemy and mystery
the parts that make the whole
when dandelions and daisies
intoxicate my soul

Is it magic? Is it moonlight
That makes the evening glow?
As long as we're together
I don't need to know
