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

impossible to shake

March 29, 2024 

I told you I was poor
But you don't want my money
I told you I'm a maniac
You said I'm really funny

I told I was old
You said you think I'm wise
I told I was ugly
You said you like my eyes

I told you I was boring
You said boring's underrated
I told you I was crazy
You said I'm complicated

My jalopy broke down
You said we could bike it
I told you I'm a pervert
You said that's how you like it

I told you I was dumber
Than a box full of wood
You said that deep inside 
You know I'm really good

I try to scare you off
Cuz I'm fragile and I break
I could never handle
Another heartache
Nothing seems to work 
You're impossible to shake

such an ordinary guy

March 9, 2024 


Like a princess and a peon
Like a duchess and a pawn
They all look at me and you
They don't know what's going on

Like an ocean and puddle
Like a mountain and a hill
Everybody sees the difference
And their angry hearts get ill

Nobody understands
No one else could ever see
What you ever found attractive
In lowly lonesome little me

If you wanna spend your time
With such an ordinary guy
Fortune smiled in my direction
Don't make no sense to wonder why

by loving you

February 15, 2024 

nothing is only one thing
i drink up the rainbow you sing

no one else will understand
the way we talk by holding hands

we have forever to find out
what this thing is all about

there's only one thing i can do
love the world by loving you

Old-Timey Foolio

January 16, 2024 

Just an old-timey foolio
Goofing off in schoolio
I could love you trulyo
If I got a chance

Words by Ira sung by Sarah
Paradise atop a stair, a
Geezer's head without a hair, a
Planet lonely for romance

What's New? by Cannonball
Autumn Leaves by Miles
The Very Thought of You by Wynton
Winsome winding wishful dance

Similes for Her Style

January 12, 2024 


Laughter like a desert spring
Perfection like a flower
Smile like a meteor
Shelter like a tree

Spirit like a forest
Brilliance like a star
Endurance like a mountain
Mystery like the sea

Refreshment like a rainstorm
Compassion like the sun
Beauty like a gemstone
Out of reach for me

Tether Me to Heaven

December 10, 2023 

A lifetime of enchantment
Is all I ask of you
Dreaming of impossible
Because it's what you do

Tether me to heaven like the stars across the sky
Feather me with comfort and your lover's lullaby

Free me from a thousand woes
My flesh cannot endure
Shelter me with sunshine
That flows from you so pure

Tether me to heaven like the stars across the sky
Feather me with comfort and your lover's lullaby

You can be my proof rock
Solid as a stone
Even when we're miles apart
I'll never be alone

Tether me to heaven like the stars across the sky
Feather me with comfort and your lover's lullaby

sometimes a body needs a body

October 29, 2023 

If you've got the freedom, I've got the time
—Kris Kristofferson 

Sad song on the jukebox
The barman rang his bell
Another night with my buddies
And the tales that they tell

I seen you around town
You move real nice
I'd like to get to know about
Your sugar and your spice

I’m not gonna tell you how to spend your time
Sometimes a body needs a body till the morning sun shines

Maybe there's a chance 
We could have a good time
Maybe I could learn about
Your rhythm and your rhyme

The wind is blowing lonesome
It's a long walk home
My room is awful empty
I don't wanna be alone

I’m not gonna tell you how to spend your time
Sometimes a body needs a body till the morning sun shines

Pretty Pleasures

October 19, 2023 

There's nothing that I would not do
To show the world how I love you
I'll build a castle on the moon
We'll only eat with golden spoons

(I really like my happy life
You want a trophy not a wife)

I'll slay a dragon with a stick
I'll feed the world and cure the sick
I'll put the sun inside a jar
I'll carve your name upon a star

(You think you're such a gallant guy
Have you read the Nymph's Reply?)

I'll dig for diamonds with my hands
I'll walk across the desert sands
I'll climb a mountain for your heart
I'll buy the greatest works of art

(I'm really just a simple girl
I like sunsets more than pearls)

I'll search the skies and tame the sea
To demonstrate sincerity
I beg and beg on bended knee
But you never hear my plea

(Won't you listen? Can't you see?
You never did a thing for me)

by Richard W. Bray
