Walk Beside Me A While

Walk beside me a while, let me feel
Your presence; your absence surreal,
Often present; the lack of a presence
Now has past: the past, though is still present.
Bemused, my thoughts often take flight.
Walk beside me a while, I will see
Your lenghtening shadow melt into mine
The air we breathe fragrant with sweet delight:
We can speak and smile or [...]

One Hundred Eighty Seconds

Bow to each other. Bow to the ref.
“Fighting stance. Begin” Hesitate. Then,
a suddenly compact universe,
reduced to two. Fighters move, parry,
fighting stance. Begin. Hesitate, then
start a three minute relationship
reduced to two fighters. Move, parry.
Eyes locked, we watch peripherally,
start a three minute relationship.
I push, urge him on, move him closer.
Eyes locked, we watch peripherally,
dance, casual [...]

Only I Know How It Feels

Only, I know how it feels
In the heat of the sun
Riding on my wheels
Living for fun
Only I know how it feels
The wind on my face
As I hot rod down the trails
Soaring throught space
Only I know how it feels
Mud flying through the air
As I fly through the mud
Getting the four wheeler all muddy
Only I know how [...]

Your Eyes Weary and Sore

Timidly turning away your eyes
A silent serenade deep within me
Underneath the dusky skies, no more lies
My words stuck in tension, I’m down on my knees
Crying out to you
Calling out you’re name
Can’t you see we’re one
Can’t you see we’re the same?
I wish you would be mine
But now you’re gone
I can only wish there was a way
To [...]

He Was Because He Is And Always Will Be

He was the rhythm to my lyrics because he was my only inspiration
He was the socks in my shoes because I hate wearing them in sepertation
He was the jokes to my laughs because he could always make me smile
He was the number in my phone because his was my favorite to dial
He was the [...]

When You Love Someone

When you love someone, life is great
It makes you glad you decided to wait
Laughing together like children again
Haven’t felt this way since you don’t know when
When you love someone, life is bliss
The way she can tell you with a single kiss
That she has fallen in love it’s true
And she will always be in love with [...]

Betrayed

You sure fooled me with all your playing.
I think it’s time for you to hear what I’m saying.
It was definitely love at first sight,
But now you’re the reason I’m up all night.
You had me crying for three days straight,
And it caused the love I had for you to turn into hate.
What you did to me [...]

What I Learned In High School

I learned to enjoy beating the Richies academically. One day, a crowd of them was waiting for me outside of my “jock” chemistry class to see who always got the highest score on exams. The same was true in mathematics.
I learned that I had no future in sports. The football and basketball teams I [...]

On Retirement

Gosh! Oh gee! I’m an O.A.P.
Oh what am I going to do,
I have worked all my life,
Through trouble and strife,
And feel just a little bit blue I just cannot retire,
I still have lots of fire,
And plenty of vigour and vim,
I can dance, and can sing,
Do most everything
But alas never learned to swim. I can waltz, [...]
