Yes, write me a poem
About autumn leaves drifting on the wind
About snowflakes settling on your eyelids
Maybe about the gentle spring rain
Or walking by the crystal stream on a bright summers day
Take me back to your childhood
Of days spent in a tent
Of walks in meadows
Resplendent with the artists pallete of color
Take me into that forest where the birds so freely sing
Take me into a world of make believe
Of fairies and dragons
Of mermaids haunting songs floating across the sea
Yes, take me to those places, those beautiful things

Please don't take me to doom and despair
Of suicidal feelings
Oh my girlfriend/boy friend of three days has left me
I can't live without him/her
Don't give me feelings of deep depression
I'm not a phsychiatrist so I can't help you
Just give me poetry

To Forget Something is Easy,
but losing Someone is Hard.

This life, this love, this death,
all have meaning yet all fade into the jaded darkness that lays on the other side of our sunlit morning,
touching the untouchable,
reaching through the veil,  
our dreams carry us forward as if resting on an ancient burial raft,
gently drifting down the stream into a unseen oblivion.

A young man was laying in hospital, face covered by an oxygen mask
A young nurse comes over to give him a partial sponge bath
Young man mumbles, nurse are my testicals black
Nurse says I don't know I'm just here to sponge bath your top half
Young man, its important are my testicals black
Young nurse, well its not my job but I guess I can check
So the nurse lifts his gown and takes a look, she pokes and prods and checks everything
Young man removes the oxygen mask and says
Nurse that was absolutely amazing but all I wanted to know was

Are my test results back

Here she comes walking
The silent steps that hover on egg shells
Velvet incarnation
Her every word is where my mind dwells
There she goes walking
My body must be made of glass
Her eyes stay set forward
and I shatter with her pass
