You didn't rock the boat

you merely sank it ...

deep

Broken and beaten
and yet...

you only make me

stronger.

In ones kiss may hidden truths be found
by touch and feel devoid of sound
and in these moments let this silence reign
where er' my love we two have lain

---x---

So hush my love and close thine eyes
for what can't speak can ner' tell lies
and let my lips with gentle ease
a tender sigh from thy lips tease

---x---

Lie to me not but lie to me
hear of my heart mine honesty
and know that all unsaid is true
that I will lie always to you

Laid on the floor

spine broken

words like blood

spilt

See that carbon footprint
the one stomped on the earth
the one that you've been treading in
since the moment of your birth
it's the dog **** on the muddy boot
that stinks of gasoline
it's the plastic bag and broken glass
it's the poison nicotine
it's the mattress in the hedgerow
it's the paint can in the lake
It's the acid in the raindrop
and each promise that we break
see that carbon footprint
the one stamped on liquored breath
that's the one you never noticed
until too late the earth faced death
