the theme to tales from
the riverbank-set me alight
it is a study from the classical period
put ambition in my heart-

i can´t recall-but it lasted a life-
time..giuliani or carulli..
hammy hamster on his boat
sailing happy..

the moon watches
no light, mid night,

the stars yearn.


the sun indulges
hot ray, every day,

the clouds obscure.
some things are better off wanted.

I’m not mad,  
I’m just sad  
so empty inside,  
but I swear,  
I haven’t always been like this.  

I was Daddy’s little girl once,  
sweet, naive,  
careless and happy.  

Then I grew up  
and the sadness grew with me.  
I couldn’t let it out,  
so I bottled it all.  

Being mean became my mask,  
my way to hide the pain.  
It still is.  

But now I wonder  
what’s the point anymore?

down a hole
a boy grows words
from his tonuge.

he speaks dirt
to sprout flowers;
so nurture his love

so his vines can
reach your garden
too.
nurture those that matter most to spread their love, and yours.
