My most secret wish is to somehow become
A Bandaid for all the wounds of the world
And an Aspirin for it’s pain.

If only.   Happy New Year
I’ll be there when you call
I’ll be there if you fall
In you I’ve found my future
I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

I’ll be there when you fly
I’ll be there if you cry
In you I’ve found my answer
I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

A song I never quite finished.
Wrapped around by dawning
cotton candy clouds,
I turn and turn
to scan them all.
Squadrons of Starlings
punctuate the quiet
as the crooked moon
decides it’s time to maybe set.

On a gravel hill that
overlooks a minor wasteland,
I selfishly enjoy
a time that’s mine alone;
reminding one who felt
hard-done-by,
that in reality she
rolled the dice
and won.

Just another **-hum Nevada sunrise.
The mind is an endless foreign land
A place to find escape
When life becomes a heavy hand
And living is a jape.
ljm
From out of the blue.
Fading
Like a beauty queen
Grown old,
Sunrise is too quckly over.
ljm
Sunrise never lasts long enough.  I always want more.
Looking at a blank screen
With a blank stare
And an even blanker mind

Where are the words that
Used to tumble *****-nilly
From a churning creativity
ljm
Blank is not a good place to be.
BE
Be my courage
I’ll be your strength

Be my solace
I’ll be your haven

Be my inspiration
I’ll be your fruition

Be my love
I’ll be your forever.

Asking.
The glittering lights
Of the City below
Shimmer in the
Sunrise glow
As I perch on
My rocky throne
To admire them.
Neon snails slowly
Inch their way along
The distant highway.
Flocks of starlings
Spray themselves
Across the rosy sky
And I am content.

A different way of getting high.
I did a huge mistake in my life
Given everything to cheer me up
You still stab me with your knife
Did everything to make it up

I'm left broken in pieces
My heart is so scared to try
I know my life is such a mess
But I never wanted to cry

All of them never wanted me
No matter how hard I please
Judging me on what you see
This much pain I can't release

Will I ever learn?
This is the world I can't explore
The past that I can't return
I have been here before

Please, accept me for I am trying
Not to please but to be accepted
I'm tired of being alone, crying
Disconnected and feel desolated
Does the ghost of the past still haunts you?
i've told pretty lies and made fatal mistakes.
i get what i want, no matter what it takes.
but in the end, the worst thing i did was
you.
