Like molten lava red and hot
It swells from in below
Takes me to a tragic place
Where happiness does not go.

An excitation like no other
Uncomfortable, not unique
For others too know this wrath
Others just as weak

10, 9, 8 we count
Until we get to 1
To ease away away the fury
And get back to where we belong

And then once more some petty event
Ignites rage from his slumber
To lead again to the place
When I am at peace no longer.

I went out in the world to see what I could see..
A road, two homes, a river, and a bog
A carpet, an ocean, a bump on a log
There were 4 pins, three bins, man's sin's and a bottle of English Gin

As I continued to explore.. the only thing I found, was..... more
A reel to reel movie picture show
An archer as she drew her bow
A tank, a truck, a tiger lily
Some of it odd, some of it silly

I kept on and on as more and more past
How much could there be? how long could it last...?

A chimeny, a kazoo, some funny hairdo
Cabbage and carrots, an old maple tree
A crack in a mirror, a broken reflection of me
Thats what I saw
Whats left to see?

I posed, if noble, on bended knee
Unto my half I did prithee
Forsake all comfort
O're Earth o're sea
Were days long gone my half and me

I lay entwined o're burning hearth
For fire fueled by dampened mirth
All that is
What once was earth
My half and me at rivers firth

I fell from daze to far below
And forget not to what I know
Of shrinking time
As darkness grows
Before my half, before I go

I sit divided on crooked path
A frown hath stolen my lazy laugh
To dream of days come cross our paths
Myself and my better half.

I can write no poems
I can write not a rhyme
I haven't the effort
And can't afford the time

I lack any patience
Of which is necessary
For a poet is all too diligent
And I am the contrary

I haven't got passion
I haven't got soul
I lack what it takes
I seem to lack it all

No, I am no poet
No master of verse
I don't feel like a poet
But I can string together words

Sing with me
Dance with me
Take me to the stars
Give me things I don't deserve
Diamonds, clothes and cars

Be with me
Hold Me
Tell me to be true
I'll give you everything you need
I promise this to you

Respect me
Defend me
As you and I are one
Bonded since we came together
To remain 'till our days are done

Listen to me
I whisper to you
Never should our spirits part
Today I vow forever more
To keep you always in my heart
