Medusa the gorgon you cursed fool, you boasted one time to many.
Your pride was wrong, that mocking song would flutter from your lips.

Bowing down we all are bound to worship at your hips.
Only to hail at your holly tinted heals.

But who really did this curse bring most folly?
Where did the pain really go?
For we are all so deeply sorry.
You reaped what we did sow.

You poor, poor pawn.

We saw above and laughed and look to gods in lofty skies.
Twas not your fault that damage was done, for we gazed with ***** eyes.
But was not the lust that those gods hated,
that's not what we got wrong.
Rather the direction of our whispers.

How could we have done this, what did we destroy?

For it was no trifle thing.
No rainbow, tear or toy?
After all they took from you,
your bouncing, baby boy.

Returning the next day we heard a ghastly wail.
When we saw what we had done our faces turned stony pale.

Snakes like hate, with eye so cold.
weeping for what they lost.
Now we stand for ever more, petrified by the cost.

Who are you?
Why are you in my bed!
Oh god the pounding chattering in my head.

Hang on a moment I remember now
We met last night? really not sure how...

Ah not so loud, your awake
Hangover cure then.
Two tons of last nights pasta bake.

Find some shorts... there ripped in half
No worries though only got them for a laugh.

Pop some pills, now find and dandy
Lucky I keep some of them handy.

She walks in to the room, cute as can be.
But that's plain for all to see.

Eat, shower, shave and bye.
Last was good and so am I.
the world is what we make of it.

Who needs love when
I have a bottle of *****!

Who needs love when
I have some good friends!

Who needs love when,
when I have work!
I will no longer have anything to shuck.

Who needs love when I have solitude!
At last a moment of peace.

Who needs love... me I suppose.

Agile she flutters through the winds and leaves
Neatness forgone as she fly’s to a gateway of semi perfection.
I see you with soul shut, mind open, spinning in a circle.
Just as you are.

The sun sinks, rays outstretched.  
Sky envy’s the swiftness of her hair, water craves the flow of her fingers      
Only the dirt is content with the dance of her feet.
This way and that.

The wind plays with her in symphony of joy.
All of nature pulsing with the simple pleasure of her presence.
This is all I am allowed to take from her.
Then she smiles.

I sit under the shelter of a tree, the shadow protects me from the shrapnel of her beauty.
As it bounces off the timeless leaves of grass.
Mistress of the colors that you command so effortlessly.
Never slowing down.

Sparks that would be jagged, now glide peaceful from your eyes.
No longer colliding with the earth, fearing that they will never see you again.
Bright blue globes absorbing her surroundings with delight.
Even as I see her.

Then the moment is over.

Boodle bot tammel Tot.
Jim jam filmmel flannel loodle.
Bing bang **** bubble.
Rizzle spluot jaffer dollop, yarla meng toodle vim.

Smile. toddles.
the absurd is often so simple.

Sunshine, spice and spades.
Butterfly's, beards and bread.

Yellow, yearbooks and yodeling.
Paint, pizza and platinum.

Music, melons and magic.
Zoos, zippers and zillions.

Apples, analysis and art.
Waiting, wagons and wafflers.

Give me a beer with friends any day.
Life's more fun that way.

ebb and flow.
light and dark.
water and fire.
dirge and dire.

If I am one then you must be the other.
I find this idea strange. If I am the opposition then how can you complete me?

I ask you for the answer, honestly tell me.
It just seems to me logical that when I am happy you should be sad.
When ecstatic, that you must be mad.

Why is there no logic to us that I can ever find?
Believe me I have looked, over and under, near and far.
Just to find some sort of answer.

But when has love ever been logical?
aint love grand.
