Pretty girls tell petty lies
just to keep others on the outside.

They don't know who's listening,
they're too cool to care.
No one would confront them,
no one would dare.

They say only fools fall in love

so an idiot I am

to have fallen in love so young

and so fast

and so without a glance back.

Love's tragic ocean

has followed me around

for years

and I have stayed above water

because I will marry him

eventually.

I have known him for years

he is my friend

my brother

my partner in crime

and so I stay afloat

because I will marry him

eventually.

I have seen others drown in love

I have heard their screams.

They tried to cross the ocean

but then failed and stayed forever

on the sandy floor.

I wait for the day when his loved ones

will make it across

and he will await with open arms.

But the day is yet to come.

And so my heart beats on

and I dodge every wave

closer and closer

until one day

the sea will part

and he will give his heart

to me

in land of fantasy so very far away
a place were all the toys would come out to play
they would play together happy as can be
in this land so faraway full of fantasy.


there was a teddy bear he wore a nice bright suit
and a spotted tie that made him look so cute
a little marching soldier drumming to a beat
and a little panda who was very sweet.


a funny little tortoise with a great big smile
a little chimpanzee and a crocodile
pretty little parrot colored red and blue
a singing little bird and a cockatoo.

they all played together having lots of fun
in the land of fantasy underneath the sun
then when they got tired climbed in to there bed
getting lots of rest for the day ahead.

summer nights
fairy lights
women rights
skinny tights
we ended up with
lovers' fights

plain as day
you took away
a sunshine ray
left me with
no words to say

feelings fade
a girl's parade
to hold her head high
and hide the mess you made

First day of spring--
I keep thinking about
    the end of autumn.

Autumn moonlight--
  a worm digs silently
    into the chestnut.
