Tree
Tree your fast as a pig,
Pig you need to wear a wig,
Wig be still upon my head,
Head don't think to hard night or day,
Day shine light on my tomorrow
Tomorrow won't you bring a laugh
Laugh bringing me so much joy
Joy sing me a song tall as a tree
Tree.
Tree look-- we've come full circle.

What a lovely Christmas it was.
Hunger full, bellies.
Time for some fun

My Dear Sister,
Your picture in the drawer
hidden years from my sight
Did you too ever wonder or
think of me in the night
Not one time playing together
Not ever did we share a morsel
Not a park did we ever visit
Nor a letter shared by parcel
My thoughts scatter with now age
of the what-if's and what-evers
My humble hearts love does not
strive in vain to be so clever
What is it that you thought
when they kept us far apart
Was you like I dear sister
so lost alone in the dark
Did you fear the unknows
and wish the comfort of my charm
Did you sister, think of me too
praying that I keep far from harm
Never a fight to call you bad sister
Not one time did I hold your hand
though I think of you often
why haven't I searched of you
through out the land

No title
no title
words slither
in the mind subtold
like serpents to behold
No title
no title
a choice so unmade
no words in braids
not one word or two
not even just a few
No title
no title
no time to entitle
that title so futile
cast out the title
and leave it untold
but the ending--- contemplate
the insatiable ultimate
story must unfold.
No title
no title
Though no title surfice
the ending tis precise
like a run for the mice
the maze is the challenge
but--- the escape is the goal.

Brave hearts forever burdened
while the daunting hearts rule
forgiven of timeless blunders
nights forbidden lovers so cruel

"The Ville."
There was a town they called the ville
It set at the top of the hill
It never was with a light or clue
It was a hunters dream come true
It's coyotes whined with a shrill
Deer run to the bottom, of the Ville's hill.
It was just a hunter dream.

Swirling cloths of green folage among bricks divine
flowing forward up and down
always to its roots comes its frowns

Thousands of places I looked for you
In the shadows of my mind
A child of brades I visioned once
Ah, you were a vision of my dreams
And now you by my child, thank God
All dreams come true, finally, so it finally seems.

Walls of grime and wood
lonely it stood
Tears in its windows ledges
Its sorrows strung near the hedges

TILL ONE DAY (second version)
Marriage,
It puzzles the brightest minds
It captivates all entwined
Its vastness cradles all within
Its a battle of sink or swim.
