A splash of light!
The morning came,
And with a hint of rain,
The sun rose high.

I searched your face,
In rumpled sheets,
In busy streets,
I looked for you.

The crowds pushed forward,
Too busy to care,
For thoughts that dare
involved mundane things,

You heard my voice,
Past thundering jeers,
Of distant fears
I whispered softly.
There,
I know you're there,
Though I can't hear a word
That you speak.

Troughs,
I'm riding troughs,
And pretty soon I hope
I will peak.

The day went by,
Got lost in the sound.
The night stood long;
But in darkness,
I remembered you.

In these empty waters,
I'm tested yet sober.
My soul only thirsts for you.

I've long to face wonder,
To replace the sunder
With love that was made for two.

And I still wonder why
I let these days go by
Her name is Daisy
She drives me crazy
She leaps from bed to bed
Just to land inside your head.

It was a Sunday
When I saw her
Melted in my arms
Swiveling her body to mine

Brought her home
To my momma
Right into my life
Now she's looking so mighty
Fi-i-i-ine!

Her name is Daisy
Never fails to amaze me
She looks like a summer day
Swings her head
When she walks and sways.

My darling Daisy
My crazy Daisy
My hazy Daisy
Daisy Days

My Dai-ai-ai-aisy
My Dai-ai-ai-aisy
My Dai-ai-ai-aisy
Daisy Days

Woof woof!
Waiting on that someone,
I have yet to see.
In times unexpected,
For both you and me.

You'll come through my window,
And break out into song,
You'll stop me on the street,
Say "I've known it all along!"

It's you, it's you,
I see you've taken the time
Through goose chases and mistakes of
Songs gone wrong in rhyme.

I am done with projects
And you, with love restricted
So will our paths cross finally
To a road so unconflicted.
Open notes
Yet words unspoken
Two together
Built then broken.

The universe brought us together
Only to tear us apart
Oh, did we take these chances
To tire our restless hearts.
I saw it coming
But that didn't help
Because who is ever prepared
To say that word?
I don't know how
We got to this mess
Since there's more to the story
Than I would confess.

And here we are now
Where did time go by?
What happened to that space
Where we said we would try.

The tears got old
Seeped skin-deep instead
While debating on restless
Thoughts of you in my head.

You'll hold on tight,
I know you so well,
You think you've got me
Under a spell.

And maybe it's okay
Not to be today.
For someday I'll be better than this
And you'll matter a whole lot less.

I'll be alright.
I'll be alright.
There he goes,
Playing tricks on me once more
As he walks on by,
Inching feelings from before.

All over again
Must this be so?
I've got things to do
And far places to go.

You're not worth my time
Though you've come all this way
Bringing thoughts so sublime
Just to mess up my day.

GO AWAY.
GO AWAY.
Hasty moves,
Afraid of words unspoken,
Hoped to last,
But we in time were broken,
Souls that grew,
In ocean deep blue waters,
Feared the Sun,
We hid in empty wonders,
Can't explain,
Commas we have left behind,
Now too late,
To pause and hit our rewind.
It finally stopped raining,
after endless hours of trying to fall
into the deep rhythms of sleep.
But the rain just kept tapping on the windows
while the wind blew like the Big Bad Wolf,
those **** plastic window frames
groaning.

I lay flat on my back
while you were there by my side.
We watched as the stars slowly reappear into
the night sky,
the moon waxing.
We had our sweaters on
to keep the nasty cold bite out,
yet I was comfortable where I was,
the warmth between us enough.
Our bond, stronger than ever.

CRACK*
went the lightning,
and I awoke with a startle.
The wind was heaving pellets of rain
to my window
as the frame bent and swayed
in response to the wind's force.

I got up to look outside
and I saw: *nothing;

It was dark, empty,
and very cold
chilled to the bone.

*not again
is it really difficult
to want something that tastes so sweet
yet feels so painful
