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

A Kitten’s Nursery Rhyme

June 13, 2025 

In the vagaries of time 
When Al Green explores your mind 
Just a kitten’s nursery rhyme
Of a single chorus line 
Where the dancers hope to find 
Another dream of wealth and wine

All of the hippos at the zoo
Have got a pebble in their shoe
And the trickster’s happy crew
Is eating crocodile stew
The unicorns are dancing too
With a song that's just for you 

I found a refuge in your eyes
Refreshment under rainy skies
Where my stupidity is wise
You were too sweet to realize
Out of a world of better guys
You really thought I was a prize

It’s not that I don’t care but the pain is only there

May 21, 2025 


don't ever 
say how i am feeling 
cuz i'm safer not revealing 
life is gonna hurt me
and the world is gonna 
dirt me

It's not that I don't care
But the pain is only there

the piano tried
to tell me
but i didn't wanna
smell me
swept it under the floor
cuz i couldn't
take any more

It's not that I don't care
But the pain is only there

so i'll open
up the door
just a little bit
not more
since you showed
me yours
and there isn't
keeping score

It's not that I don't care
But the pain is only there

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?

Crescent moons and show tunes and monarch butterflies

October 26, 2024 






I like rainy days and Ibsen plays and lonesome lullabies
Long walks and funny talks and folks that don't tell lies 

I like hound dogs and yule logs and films that make me cry
Crescent moons and show tunes and monarch butterflies

I like sunsets and Mookie Betts and Rome before the fall
Short naps and ginger snaps and pickup basketball

I like hay bales and mountain trails and comfy old shoes
Warm smiles and sundials and women just like you

I got nothing planned
So take my hand
And let's talk about you
Maybe, you and me
Can find something to do 

by Richard W. Bray
