And lo, with evening shadows comes the twinkle of the stars.
Yonder is the rising moon and further west is Mars.

How wondrous is The Milky Way, away from city lights.
The silence seems to deafen me on sultry rural nights.

Oh, I could sit upon the porch and listen here for hours.
Indeed, the night reflects the subtle magic of nature's powers.

Play on, oh evening symphony and with this starry scene,
Delight my senses off to slumber with a summer dream.
I so enjoyed the beautiful glow of the moon tonight.
Sweet sultry dreams tonight!

What happened to the love there use to be
What happened to everything we shared
It seems as everything is,
Slipping away from me

Like the sand to the sea

Where did the good times go

The times you loved me for me

There was nobody else

Just you and me

One time, One place

I want you back baby

I can't go on alone
Why are you never picking up the phone
You never seem to be at home
Is there something your not telling me

Why has life gone so dull
It's like everything is a shade of grey
You know I want you in my life
There's so much I wanna say
But you need time alone

I can't go on alone
Why are you never picking up the phone
You never seem to be at home
Is there something your not telling me

There is nobody that makes me feel the way you do
It's as if the only person can be you
There are no words to describe how I feel
I just wish I could show you
If only you would answer my calls
I can't take this anymore

I can't go on alone
Why are you never picking up the phone
You never seem to be at home
Is there something your not telling me

You're the only one I care about
The only one I never doubt
Sure I can be emotional
But you know it is true
You are the only one
I want to spend eternity with
Why can't you admit the truth

I can't go on alone
Why are you never picking up the phone
You never seem to be at home
Is there something your not telling me

I can't go on alone
Oh No
I Can't do it alone

a small craft,
barely deserving of such a compliment as
c r a f t e d,
a few boards, just enough caulking,
made quick, with no regard for artistry,
but sturdy none the less,
purposed for naught,
other than to get from there to
here

even, then, all the more,
as if time chose to reverse itself,
solidified it, this ships soul strength
rather than wore~warped
its character essential

unclear who was the wood
and who, the caulking glue,
but they held together in bonding so powerful

when strangers asked
what its purpose be,
this modest boat,
the locals
to a one,
always answered,
answered always consistent:

ancient and ungainly, not shapely,
purposed as if to be, simply
a reminder
that nothing
could ere
be graced more,
complimented, honored as,

seaworthy,
than this human loving crafting,


long-lasting,
maybe ever-lasting,
a tiny notional idea,
that two could get
you from here to
there

it  is in the more stronger strength,
of one thing
created from a loving,
two combinatory realization,
ruled and ruling,
this
craft
came to be
ruler of the sea of humanity

i once met a stranger,
he who cause my laughter,
he who makes me flatter,
and i who became his admirer.

what is this something?
this love for him i am feeling,
i know this feeling is worth denying,
but why am i still embracing?

do we fit each other? nope,
but then i found myself still holding the rope.
i told myself to stop holding on and let go,
but instead, i didn't follow it. no.

i once met a stranger,
he who became my lover.
but everything stays temporarily,
i need to accept that we aren't meant to be.

the stranger,
who became my partner,
that turned to be my lover,
was again a stranger.
