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

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

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

feet on the ground

February 23, 2024 

Earth's the right place for love:
I don't know where it's likely to go better.
–Robert Frost

Got my feet on the ground
Looking at the stars
Crazy billionaires 
Wanna fly away to Mars

Got my feet on the ground
Staring life in the face
Got oodles of compassion
For the human race

Got my feet on the ground
The body is the mind
No more wasted days
With my head in my behind

Got my feet on the ground
Got my head in the game
A flower is a flower
By any other name

Got my feet on the ground
Got my eye on you
Wubba dubba dubba
Woopty doopty do

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

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
