I whisper to the air “I miss you” Radio silence from the void Our perfect life is in utter ruins Bliss completely destroyed I hug the place where you were Vacuum fills me with relief Reminds me, you’re happy now An equal solace to my grief The space inbetween expands Forever in every direction AContinue reading “Lost In Space”

It hits like a ton of bricks A piano falling on your head Yesterday was warm and sunny Today is freezing in my bed She loves me She holds my hand Time slips away Like grains of sand She loves me not Love grows stale Something I said The coffin’s nail

I’m not the sameMy heart’s cleaved in twoAnd you took half away When you said we were through I lost house, boat, and carBut I don’t mind being poorI’d throw it all awayTo be with you once more I couldn’t make us work I don’t have what it takes This price I must pay TheseContinue reading “The Stakes”

Here’s some pain I made it myself I was going to store it Put it on the shelf I’d rather not talk about it I have a collection It’s embarrassing But, for my own protection I guess I could share, if, You really want to know Where it comes from And what makes it growContinue reading “My Pain is a Gift”

I’ll tell you the truth I’ll tell you no lies Your eyes are as pretty As the Tucson sunrise Wyoming is OK If you like Walmart Not much to do Unless you teach art Michigan is terrible It’s no good at all It’s only tolerable For a few weeks in Fall Move to New HampshireContinue reading “Move to New Hampshire”

Your interstate driving Is not all that skilled Being your passenger Could get me killed Until that time I’m happy to ride Along in your car With you by my side We’ve got nowhere to go And everywhere to be You can drive me anywhere It doesn’t matter to me

I drink the sweet sunshine That glistens in your hair I know you don’t like it But I can’t help but stare I want to serenade you To sing songs of joy and bliss I suppose I’ll have to settle With giving you one big kiss You say you’re not so pretty You say you’reContinue reading “No surprise”

There’s something here The box says lost and found Looks like it’s been here a while It only weights a pound It’s wrinkly and shriveled Dusty and old Rusty and weathered Still works, I’m told Take it for me Consider it found My heart needs a home Keep it safe and sound

Nothing matters Not any more Now that you’ve left What’s worth living for? I once held you close my hands are empty now my heart is too I’ve lost you somehow I bite the air And fight a tear Crying won’t bring you back Why did you disappear?

The sun is burning out It doesn’t have to last We only need it for a moment Let’s spend our time together fast The birds are leaving We watch as they fly It’s a glorious thing to see We wave to them goodbye The frost is forming now The world is getting cold The eclipseContinue reading “Ephemeral Love”

Our love is a race horse Strong and proud and fast It wins countless races for us Our expectations, surpassed We feed it carrots when it’s good We beat it when it fails What ever’s best for us What ever that entails I can’t stand to lose I hate to see you frown Our horseContinue reading “Race Horse Love”

I’m racing for the edge It’s coming close and I want it more I hug you tighter We’re about to find out what’s in store I can’t help but wonder if you’d known my reckless heart Would be the end of both of us By tearing us apart The end is coming near I’m acceleratingContinue reading “Racing for the edge”

There’s nothing to eat so take a puff and grab a beer Everyone here is lonely So you have nothing to fear Living ain’t easy but dying is too hard We have to soldier on so make yourself a bard The good books have all been written The bad ones have all been read There’sContinue reading “Bards in beds”
