dreaming on this bed of you coming through the door leaping on me
but I'm alone in a basement with one window and a view of bare tree

there will be one flight of birds to cross the marsh over to the lake
where I used to go guppyin' as a kid to catch gifts nobody wanted

one bird is always behind
one flight too long
time too short

I love you
until alone becomes we.

light rains
Cripp Jan 2014
on leaves you peck off with the lightness of ease
sunspots pierce through and green light shines
light rains fall
and its regular beat goes in time with mine

I'm glad for your will that bends
means you make room for another
namely, me

may light rains fall on
and give relief to your sad but beautiful heart

lose
Cripp May 2013
looks like I'm about to lose my heart to her
I'd like to lose something else to her

her mouth looks like a good extractor....

response
Cripp Dec 2013
I'm there for you when you have downs or even ups
I guess I ought to remember how you hate tales
I tried to reach out to you, I felt alone
you offered no response, until now
and it revealed that in the depths of your misery
some ecstatic news, a tone which I'm so glad for

I just wish I could be met halfway, too
smiles will continue for you, all the way
I wouldn't want you to feel this anguish

a century old letter has fallen to me
from an attic in a forgotten chest
and I uncover the strangest secret things
under this sky, was once a love so great
yet devastating and wild
just like ours

I wonder what happened to them
I dare to think it all worked out
that they rode over the expected
and caught the real deal

there are two sets of letters, those from her and his reponse

we will make it through the tumbles
I don't believe in make your bed and lie down

make your bed, then jump on it
with me!

penalty
Cripp Dec 2013
quite mad at me, you are
said I'm sorry and I care
please would you lift the heavy penalty
I feel barred from your kind graces
forgive a soul and give a break
please?

disaster on leave
Cripp Dec 2013
a most beautiful day, disaster takes a well deserved break
it's smiles and happiness
light humor
good time on a high
disaster on leave

thanks to the heavens for prayers answered

keep still, it's coming............

in the sands
Cripp Dec 2013
I long to place my arms around you
and to tell you things I lose courage in
instead these words I fail to utter
fair and square
are found printed beneath my soles

and one day, when I leave
you will find them
in the sands of time

that other time where dreams are allowed to live and breathe
in harmony with the real

you make it so good
Cripp May 2013
you
make it so good
and more sizzling

you
and your ire
and your envy
and your tongue

make it so good
for me


(with her)
seems I spoke out loud in my sleep a few nights ago.

I'm walking on eggshells, waiting for the other shoe...
