I may or can
elude an ism
underswooshing
rainbow prism

  shorts & sweats
  dares & bets
  trays & tables
  courts & nets

    couldn't would
    wouldn't should
    feeling, dealing
    plastic wood

      classroom, office
      closet, hall
      packet, racket
      mat & ball
      short & skinny
      fat & tall
      bless their souls
      & **** 'em all

IV. Vengeance

1. The story goes; an enemy
        absconded with his sins
        I guess he thought that she had no one
        and that the bad guy sometimes wins.

2. How foolish I was to think I knew true rage--        
        an overwhelming blaze consumes me
        my anger's stirred a bit at evils past
        but today its fire rushes free


3. You've been marked
        marked by God's almighty touch
You are cursed
        no man evades His clutch

      

                vengeance follows close behind
                    
                patient
                
                      silent
                      
                            watchful

when it pounces
             you may flee again

but when you run
the Wrathful Hand of God will ****** you up
and hurl you at my feet
  
                 and break you

'til there's nothing left to break

III. Pain

1. Something broke you, beloved;
       you feel pain your eyes betray
The anguish in them crushes me...

2. please,
                tell me what he did to you that day

II. Affection

1. I earned my kinship
        (yours just came along)
        we are sister, brother,
        born of fondness strong

2. I cherish your joy
        and weep for your sorrow.
I'm beside you for a dismal day
        to greet a sweet tomorrow

3. That's what God designed
        for dearest friends to do.
See, I meant it when I said "I love you"
        and I'm glad you meant it too

I. Blessed

1. The music breathes something through us,
        you and I;
        playing in our voices,
        soaring toward the sky

2. Our hearts break at all the wrong notes,
       but that's okay;
       our hearts break together
       and we like it best that way

3. So I love it
         when we dance
         when we around
         your record player prance

4. I love it when we dance the night away

The chain(I sink)just lost a link
               (I sink)beneath the rising tide
               (I sink)in heartbeats or a blink
               (I drown)inside
  a world of hurt,
  a breath of hurt,
  a cry of hurt galore;
I paid a penny for my hurt,
  splendid hurt
    (what's more).
Hurts combine to end me
          (though a thousand hearts defend me).

Duct tape will mend a hurting heart,
               I think.
A sea of hurt - I forget where I should start.
                I sink.

I.      My misty April dream subsides
           and she's still there.
         A vision with what's real collides;
            a fancy caught me unaware

II.     I dreamt
            of secrets caught in ruby lips
            riddles on her fingertips
        
III.    I wonder
            if I'm one of countless blips
            on her radar full of ships

IV.    I dreamt
            that I am more.
