grass from the day we met

~

God knows I was overwhelmed

but my heart knows what to do

I don’t miss much

but God damn I miss seeing you

–

you raise my main sail

you make my ocean swell

you leave me all alone

in my own hell

–

I want you to sink

I want you to ring

I want you to sail

heaven send away hell

–

I’m black and I’m blue

from longing to see you

 I’ll know what to do

if I just hear from you

–

In this life I’ve lost alot

that’s why I hold on so tight

I’m sorry if my poker face

threw you off the other night

–

my hearts holding a royal flush

I’m willing to lose it all to win

I never left the table

woman I’m calling, let me go all in

–

Woman its your move

if you know what to do

take a long walk if you need

get back to me if you want to

–

if you’ve got a better game somewhere

then you shouldn’t stay

but I’ve got nowhere else to be

I’m not walking away

–

I want you to sink

I want you to ring

I want you to sail

heaven send away hell

–

I’m black and I’m blue

it hurts not to see you

 I’ll know what to do

if I hear from you

–

You can stay on your island

but you’d be welcomed on my shore

can you say that you don’t

 want to hear me anymore

–

I’ll meet you in your ocean deep

I’ll drown with you and come alive

–

I’d walk through hell to be with you

in our own heaven

I don’t believe that the great dreamer dreams a creature with such feeling as I, without also dreaming a possibility for the creature’s heart’s desire to be fulfilled.

believe with me,  you who will wade further into the swamps of your heart’s stories

with head and body and soul under the surface, and the great crocodiles finished,

I will have returned * to the soul of I

Facing West – The Staves

~

cupid’s dart doth sure sting smartly

in the breast of his first patient

whilst waiting for the tot to reload

his potion causes fervent anguish

~

if he doth not mercifully strike the horse

he hath only cruelly chained the cart

so may he dispense an equivalent dose

to the one now stuck in my heart

~

what is a frog prince to do?

unnoticed and too far from his maiden’s lips to make a transforming impression

a tree frog with broken legs

my only chance to walk again will be with legs of a man

I climbed one night to her lofty heights and called repeatedly to her ear.  Startled by my unknown voice she swept me from my heavenly perch

in the wasteland flat I flail and croak and twitch,

longing to ascend; in the saving hand of my maiden,

or the merciful beak of the heron.

~

my only amelioration is the enchanting sight of her in moonlight

and the night breeze carrying her lovely voice to my sun-cracked ears

I know to not struggle against the story

there’s a reason these things came to be

with me so stuck like an infant

and her so inviting like a tree

Waka Waka – Shakira

 

You’re a soldier

choosing your battles

pick yourself up

and dust yourself off

and back in the saddle

life’s not over

the pressure’s on

you feel it

but you’ve got it

believe it

if you get down Get up

Oh oh

when you fall Get up

Eh eh

live today

feel it

you’ve paved the way

believe it

It’s True – Ken Parker

not every day is gonna be the same day

and each day we are wandering near our home

not every day is gonna be a day of sunshine

there must be a little bit of rain to cool down the times

yes and its true, true, true

not every man can find a good woman

not every woman can find a good man

not every night is gonna be a night of darkness

there must be a little bit of night to clear up the times
