Two roses of red
And one of blue
Neither are prettier than you

A strong shoulder to rest your head
For you I could never deny
There is no question for why

Two roses of blue
And one of red
Just to remind you; love’s not dead
You’re like a blinking light
That glimmers throughout the dead of the night
An unfamiliar sound that calls
Yet a soothing noise, like those of the great falls

I seek to wonder where you hide
Though countless men have tried before me
Many too; fallen a drift at sea
Maybe apart of living, is to live after you died

If you would have asked years ago
I would have joined you in any place
But now the world seems like an unfamiliar face
So, I continue on in the cold dusty snow

For if I was ever wrong to you
I hope you can understand
It takes much more than hope to raise a man
And I hope you find the strength to continue as we do

Someday, I may become you’re guiding light
One the glimmers through the dead of the night
Or an unfamiliar sound that calls
That’s as soothing as those of the Great Fall’s
Do you remember when
We would walk in winter
Holding our breath in the chilling wind
Waiting to see who was the winner

Or maybe the summer skies
The fields where we hid
Isn’t it funny how time flies
Especially now that we aren’t kids

What about the ol house
The one that was condemned
Remember when you go scared of that mouse
Aren’t you glad we settled in the west end

I can still see the look you gave
That time I brought home that raggedy old car
Back when money was hard to save
Or course we never worried about setting any bars

It’s been a long time now
And each day with you feels like a thousand more
I shake my head sometimes and say wow
For how could you fall for me and not walk out the door
How did she do it
I ask myself nearly everyday
For how could I ever fit
In any word she could say

How could she a stranger
Enter my life with no warning
Even so, could I not see the danger
Of seeing her face every morning

I get this pit in the bottom of my stomach
I have trouble concentrating
Is it just dumb luck
Or is there something hidden, that’s captivating

For someone like me, not worthy
Or someone like her, who deserves better
Is this proof of mercy
But I can’t stay, so I’ll leave her this letter
A charred smell of hickory nuts fills the air
I take a step out to clear my head
As I begin to walk, I can’t help but dare
Dare myself to make it through this winter dread

My steps become less and less
For the snow has reached my knees
Yet I continue on, but I must confess
I did stop for a break by the trees

I whistle a tune, as I watch the moon stop hiding
The air is colder and white specks fall on my clothes
But I find it all ever so delighting
For there’s no better place to find a winter’s rose

As I make my way back, I see a light
It shines through the window
I enter with a rose of white
To see her smile, as pretty as a rainbow
Styles May 8
With every kiss we share,
Your lips ignite a flame,
My soul ignited,
And my heart excited.
Golden sunsets and skies of blue
All confess my love to you

A small house on a corner stone
Creates a place for you to call home

Steady hands and shaky feet
Is what I get each time we meet

Yet, when I’m with you, I’m as light as a feather
Here’s to a love, that will last forever
Her
There was a time, I felt these feelings before
Words can’t describe it
A train with no tack, the earth with no core
Like an old man’s wisdom and wit

I freeze you know
Stuck in movement, praying my eye’s will see
For one look and they’re blinded by her glow
Although the risk is worth it to me

She’s not the first and she may not be last
She’s a warm summer day, out on the bay
A sailboat with sails that need no cast
Or a clear conscious with no past

I’ve felt these feelings before
Some with and without her
The kind of feeling that makes eagles soar
The kind of love that comes in goes in a blur

I dedicate this: to her

Throw your stones at me
Those of you who've never sinned
My past a bit hazy
I don't know where I begin
You think I could get lucky?
And one day catch an elusive win
Something worth sharing with a loved one or a friend
Forget the knowledge that hindsight's 20/20
Didn't know I'd have no one in the end,
Not even one that's pretend
Hopefully I can find a sticky type of happy
But until then
I'm just a puppy
Chasing leafs in the wind
