Unlucky the hero born
In this province of the stuck record
Where the most watchful cooks go jobless
And the mayor's rĂ´tisserie turns
Round of its own accord.

There's no career in the venture
Of riding against the lizard,
Himself withered these latter-days
To leaf-size from lack of action:
History's beaten the hazard.

The last crone got burnt up
More than eight decades back
With the love-hot herb, the talking cat,
But the children are better for it,
The cow milks cream an inch thick.
I forgot what happened yesterday, and tomorrow will forget today
It's the only way,
a coping strategy to free myself,
but memory remains
like blood stains on my skin
getting into every crease.
There is and will be no release,
memories are police to catch me,****** me,bind me,search me out and find me, then they grind me into dust.
If I must remember,
let me remember this,the first kiss,the first bloom,laughter in the bedroom,the groom, the bride,
but these memories hide
and I forget again.
Crickets Chirp At Dusk,
Reminding Me It Is Time,
To Climb Into Bed,
And To Shut My Weary Eyes,
To Dream Of You Once Again
Not That I Really Want To Anymore ):
I Have Been Calling,
Across The Timber And Plains,
I Have Called Your Name

I Have Been Wishing,
Lying Underneath The Stars,
I Have Wished For You

I Have Been Searching,
Deep In The Trees And My Heart,
I've Searched For So Long

I Have Awakened,
To A Dawn Cold And Lonely,
As The Notes I Sing

I Have Been Waiting,
Waiting For So Many Moons,
For A Glimpse Of You

I Have Been Begging,
For You To Take Me Away,
Please.. Take Me Away
I've Been Needing You
Make a wish on every star
There's a lot of magic in the sky
Close your eyes and make a wish
On each star up there so high

Click your heels at least three times
Pick a clover in the park
Make a wish upon a rabbits foot
Look for stars when it gets dark

There's a miracle for everyone
You'll find it over time
There's a miracle for everyone
And I'm glad that I found mine

Miracles are out there now
Hiding there, right in plain sight
So, remember to wish on that star
When you go home tonight

Look into the sky at night
Find a star, or maybe two
You might just get your miracle
But you won't unless you do

There's a miracle for everyone
You'll find it over time
There's a miracle for everyone
And I'm glad that you are mine.

I like that you like
raspberries and that your
cheeks get red on a cold
May night sitting by the fire
so warm and the wind so strong.
Lots of different temperatures
affecting my mood and my maturity.
You had that green
rain coat keeping you cozy
as I dreamt of my covers and of you.

you can find me
tearing off my shirt
and screaming

*is this what you want?

"Sydney," Said The Little Boy,
"Why Do You Smile So Much?"

"I Don't Know, Ryan," I Replied,
"Is It Weird?"

He Tipped His Head Side To Side,
"A Little," He Grinned

I Watched A Leaf Float Slowly To The Ground,
A Sure Sign Of Fall Arriving,
"Maybe Its Just Because I'm Really Happy"

My Heart Broke A Little Then,
Because It Hurt So Much To Lie

No future!

--

The " child"

Is

Only a toy

---

A toy child
--

A Doll
--

A painted Doll
--

Struts *****-like
The naked

High school corridors

Looking for death's face

---

I seen her there

I laughed

I cried

I finally

Became human and took her home with me

---

We are graffiti on the walls of the alley

---

Toy people

But

Unto eachother

We are real

---

No future

But this moment is "forever"

So lets be kind
--

Kindred humanity

Sure!

Lets do it!

--

And stand with courage

Before the Beast
