WordsMusic

I listen to classical 
music when I write
because to me both
genres exist in harmony
just like eyes and
lips for music like
eyes invite us closer
lips breathe out breath
just like words do

Dullsville

Yesterday was bad
today is worse
I need angst
I need heart
pain whether it’s
ache or break
I need something
anything that will
break the spell
of living here
in quiet Dullsville

Bed

I am a pig
I’m also a whore
I have a bed
big enough for two
yet no one ever
stays they always go
maybe it’s the bed
I can’t believe that
it’s ever been me
my bed is mine
that’s all they see
it’s a barnyard here
everybody out for themselves

Sometimes

Sometimes I wish 
sometimes I wonder
but mostly I
hope things different
sometimes I love
sometimes I hate
but mostly I
hope someone stays
sometimes I dream
sometimes I cower
but mostly I
hope things change
sometimes I wish
sometimes I love
sometimes I dream
sometimes I do

AnchorBalloon

It’s mostly about sex
most everything is nowadays
maybe it’s been that
way for a long
time but I being
a lover still believe
that love is everything
maybe sex and love
are the same things
having now enjoyed each
no I think sex
is like an anchor
keeping you in place
at least until it’s
time to set sail
but love is like
a balloon already on
its way to somewhere
and only ever lands
when it’s gotten there
