Bleeding to death by a thousand cuts makes my heart nuts with the run not coming and the next turn running I’ll be stunning when my body lays quiet I’ll not be sad I’ll be with dad knowing life was the mission for which I came I left in the hands of better men who came and went telling stories that got bent over time and history there’s not rhyme or mystery they knew things we don’t and they got wiped out. Be the person you know you are and life up your heart knowing no start to the way life crushed Art make space in your life if you feel like it’s too hard change by testing your network they’ll either get to work or they won’t. The answer will be the truth and the permission to move on. Let them go they drowning and you can swim wish them well and say oh well. I tried and you lied. To me. I loved you and you turned away from me. The path was made for me but yours was a way to change the humanity moved further in away from me closer to a stranger who’s estranged to the danger in the manger. The kids gone, 2 years ago you forgot you had one…

Snowflake
A trodden path through a flush yet wilting forest Its ground so often stampered. The trees hover over our footsteps leaving their leaves scattered... I feel small and inconsequential as I tread over their exposed roots, their screams, I can only fathom as we assault them with our boots. ...amp...

Enclosed by a tunnel of branches A slow breeze sets leaves free Like feathers that sway and dance I let go of the hold you've had on me. ...amp...

The hold
I traffic too much in feelings I peddle love to fill my doubts Bags of passion sold to zealots in crowded bars and pubs. And then one night you appeared a smile, a flash of an instant flirt A pull so magnetic and alluring I had to follow, to convert... Twenty five years later, here we are... and I still remember that night in that very crowded bar... ...amp...

Don't come too close Don't lean in For we might kiss and the Ride will begin I'm scared of heights Prefer being grounded For I'll lose my grip Get hurt and wounded Then you'll stop the Ride Abruptly, I'm certain I'll walk away alone Because I love you too much to be a burden ...amp...

Nest
Age-defying remedies fill up every nook of her shelves playing Russian-Roulette with her vanity and her excessive admiration of herself... And now as she remembers clearly,  transfixed in the mirror of time She realizes she is still a model of a very old paradigm. ...amp...

Where I came from people gather around  A table, decorated with a cornucopia Of harvest's fruits and gifts abound And here I sit so far away, wishing I was homebound to enjoy this special day. ...Happy Thanksgiving Canada...  -amp-

Shelter
I feel raw and bruised, lasting remnants of you. Nothing categorically bad Just feel like I've been had. I thought you were kinder and different You thought you were the epitome of cool Guess I'm no longer so significant, I swear, next time, I'll be nobody's fool. ...amp

My mother died at forty-eight Far too young to go that way It's been decades since I've relived that day But today would have been her birthday so in celebration, I'm going to rewind and press replay to remind me of her charismatic beauty and generosity and oh dear...I need to keep my tears at bay... ...amp

Rooms
Flying through your window, a silhouette inviting to rest on pages of an open book full of inconsequential writing. Stories crowded with rhymes and hooks Of beggars, singers, lovers and crooks. Like the lore of pain in Country songs its passion diluted and suddenly gone into the abliss of Perhaps and Ifs, once a nagging thought now set adrift. ...amp
