I wish to remember
the beautiful touch
of every sweet face
to which I have ever made love

and not the bed
in which we
simply found ourselves lying in.

Give me a song to calm my nerves.
Give me a sweet swinging verse.
I love those words
the ones we both heard
that made life so nice.

When I am alone at night
with too many thoughts
running through my mind
a play soft song.
Then I sing along
and I am alright.

When I am daydreaming,
I fantasize about singing
soulful songs of yesterday
as we sit and talk throughout the day
while playing checkers, or dominoes.
Man, that would be great.

Perhaps, later on that night
you’ll let me hold you tight
as we sway to the soft beat
with synchronized feet.
That would be so sweet.

i'm sorry
i can't love you like they could
i'm sorry
that's not how God made me
i'm sorry
i break your heart
i'm sorry
you love me
i'm sorry
my feelings can't align with yours
like how i feel most myself
when i'm kissing
Her

Grind it up
Roll it up
Spark it up
Smoke it

Inhale, Exhale
Don't waste it
Inhale until you feel it in your eyes, your mind and your chest
As you exhale, let your worries leave as well as your stress

Inhale, Exhale
Don't be so serious
Have a little fun
Play with your smoke
Round your mouth and blow some o's
Inhale through the right pipe and Make the smoke leave through your nose

Inhale, Exhale
Don't stand up, Just sit down
Sink back, Lay back
Close your eyes, Relax your mind

Inhale, Exhale
Enjoy the temporary serenity
Enjoy the temporary silence
Cause after it has ran it's course
It always comes back

There ain’t no such thing
as love.
So, I sing
in poetry
about the cynic
I don’t want to be,
while looking longingly
with loving eyes
at a human being
who will probably
never realize
how entranced
I am by her presence.
