I like to dance while the dogs are falling
And a cliché of cats turn eight

To step in every puddle made
By the ever tired street

I like to think in hue's, of white and blue
Holding a paint brush or a pen

To say the loudest silence heard
By way of playing with pretend

I like to eat, when talk is cheap
And a "plate-itude" gets a laugh

To tip monsieur, with heavy hand
Buy the image consumers made

I like to love while I have the breath
And a-head, promises set in stone

To jump the forever with faith
By the greenest grass we lay

Where is the emotion I could only ever bare
when you were here beside me every day and everywhere
I seem to be avoiding all the simple things I knew
instead commit to stupor coming out of me and you
Whatever hasn't happened I expect at any time
receiving with the darkness every shadow in my mind
It's good to be alone and I have come to much prefer
the solitude of sameness as the days become a blur
I'm learning to admit that what is perfect will not break
and daily seek the patience to accept it when I wake
Today has been forever and forever's moving still
a death that has no fear because it goes against our will
