Take my heart
Break it in two
Crumble it to pieces
Its okay I want you too

Tell me pretty lies
Syrup dipped candy
You're words have such sweetness
Keep on drinking that brandy

Beat around the bush
Play you're little games
Run wild and free
Be sure to fasten my chains

Kiss that other girl
Play me like an upright base
Feed me those excuses
Let the tears pour down my face

Allow me to feel the love
Thats as plastic as that grin
False sense of security
Call it my original sin

Take another trophy
Place it upon your shelf
Right next to the rest of them
I'm sure your proud of yourself

Throw me away once at the end
Once you've had your fill
Just like the rest of them
I'll tumble downhill

I'll cry out my heart
Desperately want you back
But just like the rest of them
I was just another past time snack

I'm stupid I know
But hit play
I'm stuck on repeat







Help me.....

High as the birds
As I fly down the straat
Breaking between winds
Biking becomes my art

I'm a sunchaser with not so much time
Clouds coming daylight dimming
Ending play and dance in sunshine

Autumn is here as the fire glows hot
All gentle cosy and soft
Snuggled up closely in
Cinnamon spice clove
Soup and broth

With layers upon layers of clothes
We enter the winters sway
Retreating begins as we become
Hermits in our own way  

During the dark endless winters night
The campfire will call us to its divine light
Here we sing songs of our old souls treasure
Rituals dating back to where there still remains a tether
Healing in community
Through art and play
We gather around the fire
To Dance the winters chill away.
First northern hemisphere winter begins.

Two can play that game
When you want it
You want it now
Its most important
When I may want it to
Then you act like it's nothing
You act like it's not important
So two can play that game
So remember that
When you want it again
It'll be not now
I got stuff to do

Pluck one
Then two
Drag them out
As long as you want
Play the song of their hearts
Feelings as tight as you tuned them
Draw them in
So taunt
Until the chord breaks
Played me like a fiddle.

Witnessing leaves falling from a tree,
Gracefully drifting, undecided, to the ground below,
The Earth welcoming, as a family to a returning son,
Embracing the gift of nourishment,
As to the creatures which call her home,
Trees, animals, earth, all playing a game,
A dance in the circle of life,
Not one superior,
Not one dispensable,
Together they share,
Together they play.
Together they love.

A grand musical is underway!
Actors and actresses scurrying about
Memorizing their lines written by poets
Weaving sweet phrases
Conveying positivity
Encouragement
Cheerfulness
Artists shaping the smile
The relaxed pose
Arms open and inviting
Ready for instant hugs
A harpist for the mouth
Melodious
Joyful
Sounds
All this is at play
So, how is it possible
For one
To look deeper
And see what’s really behind the smile?
Like a domino in a rally
Am I part of the team?
Am I next in line?
Am I to stand or do I fall?

Like a domino in a deck
Will I be played?
Will I be laid?
Will I be noticed at all?

Like a domino on the table
Do I fit in?
Do I join up?
Do I answer the call?

Like a domino shuffled around
Can I adapt?
Can I settle back in?
Can I hold back the gall?

Like a domino in the box
Should I feel safe?
Should I like the dark?
Should I welcome the pall?
