Take me by the hand
And lead me to
The violet Jacaranda tree
Where she took your
Heart and whispered
Sweet words into your ear.

You were afraid to come
Back here and show
Others the hurt
Some little girl has brought
Upon you.

She spoke no truth
When she left you with
Simple but painfull words
That ran through your
Mind at night.

Take me by the hand
And lead me to
The Cherry Blossom tree
Where you first fell in love
With me.
A love song
Without Lyrics from the heart
With love.
If you'd just give me the chance
I'd make you my Spanish guitar
Oh Tonight,
Tonight I sleep alone
Sleep I will, but
Not willingly
Nor purposely
I sleep,
For there is no chance in
Gaining precious moments
For there are no way of
Saying words that were
Left unsaid.
Perhaps it is fate.
But I will no longer ponder
On what is done.
And so I will go.
Let the night fold me in his long
Awaited arms
And be there for I am no
Longer needed *here.
When I feel reality slip away
With every breath I take
I grab onto every single word you said
Remember every moment together
Forgetting about it, is my greatest fear
It is the only thing that keeps me here.
Warmth is a jumper,
a knitted, sewn and cross stitched bunker
in which we exist and sweat in, let out sighs of
I am okay or  I'm always this upset,
and behind those patterns we see the world
through a window the size of a pea, an out-of-focus
key hole where we can watch and wait
and be warm in the thought that
we've no work tomorrow.

Warmth is a blanket on a bed,
a mass produced widespread piece of material
in which we can dive under and have serial sleeps
that carry on into the evening;
and the light coming in through the wide window
hits the Hiroshima shadow-damp on the side wall
making it dance with the commuting-home-traffic.

Kicking and screaming.
Just leave me be.
Please stop.
Take my innocence.
I don't care anymore.
Just go away.

Now I'm Kicking and screaming
Just leave me be.
Let me die.
Forget me and move on.
I can't do it anymore.
Just let me die.

Close Your Eyes
But Don't Get Caught
Do you think that God doesn't understand
What you go through
When it's in His hands

He has known you in your mothers womb
Yes He knows what
You are going through

You can come to Him with your heartache
He will pick you up
As the pieces break

So what it is you are going through
Is no surprise
To the God of Truth

Because what it is you are going through
When it's all said and done
Only strengthens you

Don't go by the river
Unless you are a rabbit.
Because rabbits can go on
Grand adventures to distant
Bouncy houses owned by
Fire breathing
Toads.
Men and women
Are like muffins.
I'm not sure why
Or if they are
But they should be.
Jumping is always bad
Unless it's not.
Beware the pencil
Unless you are wielding a
Muscle-bound rubber chicken.
If you aren't
Jump for your life.
I hate you
Except I don't.
A definition for literally
In the dictionary
Is not literally.
What is a man
But a sack of rice?
Eyes are squishy.
You are breaking the mold
And becoming misshapen.
Suffer me to
Dance!
Drop the bass
And then pick it up
Clean that bass off of the floor!
That was a very fragile bass
And you broke it!
Du hast.
Heavy metal!
Huminaminaminaminaminamina
That's enough
That was a lie
Or was it?
Pervert.
Looking at my elbow
Save that for the bedroom!
Rock on.

I catch a glimpse of you sitting there on the side walk.
By yourself, random guy, I don't know who you are.
Man, do I ever sound like the creep?
But that's okay, I'm imagining what you're
contemplating down there.
Could it be a hazy daydream that floats
to the heavens with the smoke from your cigarette?
I look back up, and you're gone.
Could this have been just a dream?
The star-shaped glow of the street lamp tells
me otherwise.
Maybe one day you'll see me reminiscing on some-such
matters of importance.
Wouldn't that be funny?
And the only One who really knows
besides ourselves
is the One who knows us better than we know
ourselves.
I like to think He delights in our thoughts,
His children,
no matter how unimportant or minuscule they seem to be at times.
Let's take some time to dwell on Him.
