"Nah man, you gotta keep goin'. What am I gunna do, quit? That's not an option. You gotta keep on keepin' on. Life's a garden, dig it? You make it work for you. You never give up, man. That's my philosophy."
I see you sit upon a brook side lush Between some thick and lovely brush, And neatly tuck a stem behind your ear What else are you hiding that I might fear? You said you saw him last night in your head Head, bed, I only hope it wasn't bed. Eyes that strike me like a winter sunrise, Shine into mine and catch me by surprise. I fear a women with a cunning lie A girl that might tell me what but not why. Your hair shines deep like brushed and careful strokes. The ones that took a year to cut and coax Into a portrait framed with darkened hues. But you don't have a cunning lie. Do you? There, a subtle truth behind your words. A tough of tenderness, but I'm still on guard. One hand outstretched you call me closer, Your smile, A curl that strikes a perfect fifth. The kind that queues the brass and sends the room Into a symphony composed for you. You give me signs that I should hope for more, So somehow, I commit myself for what's in store.

I Can Only Trust Your Beauty
Nah, I don’t That was just a wispy thought i had as i kissed you Standing in the rain Under the stars And in my basement It’s funny that I thought about that ..right? Cause that’s the kinda **** romantics do And i’m not like that (at all) I’m not scared to tell you how i feel In my selfish, veiled way I think you’re cute and funny and nice And we’re not dating Cause that’s complicated And i definitely don’t love you Although, I don’t see anyone but you Even when I’m not actually seeing you Which is kinda funny Cause I didn’t know it was possible For one girl to steal the beauty Of all the others Maybe I do

I love you
I left and ran away I never looked back I just kept on going and I made this all up I didn't do any of that I said, I made it all up But in the same way My mind made it up exactly the way I wanted it to be I wanted it to hurt just a little and I wanted it to be wonderful I wanted you to kiss me goodbye and you did And just like that I wasn't making it up anymore I was running from it all But not because I despised it I ran away to do nothing and everything at different times I ended up by myself Watching some water waver Between two rocks Some fish played in the that spot It was beautiful And that meant way more to me than just water

Summer
Do you think cavemen used to run through fields feeling the rush of wind on their face and the joy of being alive? Do you think they jumped on each other's backs And splashed each other with water? Did they smile and glow just like we do during a fit of tickles? Or did they just **** mammoths and draw cave art?

Ancient goofs
My heart is made of stone The stone that lies under the others As to not get trampled You give me the signs I used to look for My passion is kept close Right between the folds of my arms And the surface of my chest I knock on your door But then run away My simplicity is showing But you will never see it Peeking out of my shallow smile I want you in my bed But not under the sheets This is my fault I only show you little cut-outs Of the love letter I've been writing I'd mail it to you with my eyes But your gaze strikes me I drop it everytime

I Want to Tell You with My Eyes
I want to bang you in a wicker basket With ropes around us And a ball of hot air above us I want to almost fall out At least five times And then realize it's ok Because I'd love to die While free-fall ******* you I want to do it in a storm With thunder in the distance And right between us I want the wind to pick us up And carry us toward a mountaintop So we can have a picnic In a grassy area looking over And you can sit on my shoulders To see just a little bit further I've never been in a hot air balloon But I want start with you

I Want to Have *** in a Hot Air Balloon
Budded branches leak into the fresh spring air- Blowing freely, her long soft hair She's beautiful from this lakeside view.

Weeping Willow
I want to know your story I want to know the context In which our faces met in a sweet assault of one another I want to know where you were And what lead you to the spot In which I asked you to dance I don't want your number But i want to see you again In some other time Just as spontaneous Electric, and consuming I only know the image of your face In a dimly lit room Like so many other dimly lit faces I wish to know more

To the hook-up girl from last night
You run by me like a train- Bound for the edge, Of my last day. My clock betrays Me in my sleep. And I have no recourse, For what has passed me by. You are relentless Even in my softest days. You surround me But I can hardly grasp you

She's too fast
There's something to be said For all the things you do Even the silly things That make me smile in my sleep You've seen my every step And shown me how to manage The first ones The fast ones The tough ones The slow ones The ones that made you laugh And the ones that made me stronger But there's a few more steps I have to take Up those steps to shake a hand And hear my name read, at the stand Society deems this as the moment We part our ways But only our bodies, not our hearts You won't be there to fold my clothes Or keep my dates Or even talk to me About my day But you will always be there As the one who loved me along the way And the one who raised me To the man I am today I hope to never see a time Where I don't miss you- The precious women I call: Mother
