When the leaves
start to shake
I can't wait
for Wintertime
is on the way
it's cold air in my hair
and I can't wait
it's feeling so cold outside
and I can't wait
to see your face
your grace
warm places no
they just don't understand

cuz it's so cold
it's so much
to behold
when it's Wintertime
it's so cold
it's so much
to behold
when it's Wintertime

When the leaves
start to shake
I can't wait

I think of her
and how useless
love is
or it may just be
some battle in me
that can't stop longing
still living a dream
whatever it is
if someone could
take a broom
and sweep away
all the nonsense
the bad thoughts
til today
all the creeds
and misdeeds
all the needs
I betray
and whatever else
that fills my tired mind
there would
still be her
to comfort
I'd find

Speak loud
then keep quiet
be humbly proud
at the peaceful riot
shoot to live
then sadly play
selfishly give
then haughtily stay
you're boringly fun
and anxiously still
not ready but done
as you bandage you ****
so strangely normal
and terribly good
just dirt poor formal
on plastic wood

so mic your meal
then call a cab
pop a pill
conceal the scab
your heels are old
your dress is new
your eyes are cold
your friends are few
you've seen it all
but know it's true
you've raised a wall
so they can't see you
for what it's worth
you're not to blame
to death from birth
it's life's false claim

Happiness
Lyn Senz Nov 2013
She's an old car
doesn't move now at all
and the grass grows up tall
all around her

but if given love
like in that movie Christine
her eyes would glow bright
and her skin would grow clean
and she'd roar thru the night
down some road never been
if only given love

and he's an old star
no warmth he's providing
and his children are dying
all around him

but if given love
like when he was made
he would glow warm and bright
he would not be afraid
and he'd give so much light
he'd give life once again
if only given love

but those who have love
never give it for free
to old cars or old stars
or old poets like me

oh well

Hi. as simple
as this one is it did not come easy,
there were many drafts and lines
written slowly during a very bad
hangover I remember
Lyn Senz Nov 2013
His paintings
let him feel
his busy brush
would heal
a passion all alone
died wishing
he were home

imagine
love so deep
to create
what we'd reap
the beauty
that he'd bare
only wanting eyes
to care

with dazzling colors
dreams despair
he'd paint so bright
so much so rare
I feel I see
the majesty
of life
his brush
would share

Van Gogh

dripping wet emotions
with defensive underwear
tripping ghetto potions
an expensive teddybear

you're a wordy birdy whiddler
of some truth I wouldn't know
and I'm a hurdy gurdy fiddler
of some sooth I shouldn't show

you alight a quiet yearning
you aflame my frozen soul
feels so right the night so burning
but I don't claim my chosen goal

in the blissless listless morning
I begin again to go
you're a kissless mistress scorning
any kin my sin will sow

and the end my friend is calling
my life petty all alone
will she tend and fend my falling
or be a pretty little stone

Hi. I remember thinking up
the first stanza while delivering
papers one morning, then went home and finished it. Another one
where the whole purpose was just
to rhyme the **** out of it
Lyn Senz Nov 2013
I keep waiting for news
that my body will tell
you've been paying your dues
but we still have to sell
please, there's life yet to use
sorry, next stop is hell
I keep waiting for news
to dispel

I don't want to go there
where so many have gone
just pretend I'm not here
and let's just carry on
I'll be quiet I swear
sorry, time's overdrawn
but I don't want to go there
begone!

I don't want to get sick
I don't want to look old
there's no buckets to kick
there's no streets paved with gold
look you skeletal *****
take your scythe hit the road
cuz I don't want to die sick
scared and cold!
