Wash it by hand and hang it up to dry

October 1, 2024

Wash it by hand
And hang it up to dry
Life is too precious
To spin yourself dry

Walk downtown
To the paper store
You can ask your grandpa
What paper is for

A tiny little phone
Can suck you down to hell
People tear you apart
Like they're ringing a bell

The sun gives us warmth
And energy
It's a beautiful day
Go climb a tree

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

Roller Coaster Ego

September 1, 2024

Win the world
Lose it all
Diplomas
Hanging
On the wall
But nothing there
To break your fall

Paint a picture
Live a lie
Dream your own decline
Friends and lovers
Say goodbye
You fall for pride
Every time

Hate and war
Here we go
Roller coaster ego
Climb aboard
Choose your foe
Close your eyes
And lose your soul

But You Don’t Wanna Know Me | The Nymph’s Reply, Part 4

August 28, 2024

You look at my face
But you don't see my mind
All you really want
Is a pretty behind

You wanna hold me
But you don't wanna know me

You're looking for
A dream-come-true
Who's gonna live
Her life for you

You wanna hold me
But you don't wanna know me


All you're gonna do
Is waste my time
Go back to your world
And stay out of mine

You wanna hold me
But you don't wanna know me

You wanna hold me
But you don't wanna know me

You wanna hold me
But you don't wanna know me

Her, a bed, a book and me

August 23, 2024

Bless God that we catch faint glimpses of his brighter Paradise from occasional Heavens here.
Emily Dickinson


Her, a bed, a book and me
I kissed her goodnight
And then I put her to sleep

Her, a bed, a book and me
On occasional nights
Doggie makes three

Her, a bed, a book and me
An extraordinary poem–
McCarthy's Suttree

Her, a bed, a book and me
A universe of love
And eternity

Her, a bed, a book and me
The greatest pleasures
Are actually free

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

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
