ANGIE, that last slow dance in smoky haze— you slipped UNDER MY THUMB like twilight’s ache. The Rolling Stones crooned fate through tangled days; I tried to PAINT IT BLACK for mercy’s sake. But YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT—truth stings— just loaded TUMBLIN DICE in neon towns, chasing HONKY TONK WOMEN on borrowed wings while WILD HORSES dragged dreams to...

Before thought–the heart: a struck bell's hum, in the chest's dark chapel. No word. Only thrum that echoes the void where meaningwill climb. Is this the soul's raw conference?

The Sun is pretty–Yes ,we know, It makes the sky and flowers glow. But look too long, and you will find, It's beauty scars. It's strikes you blind.

All my sorrows and sadness ~ Locked away in your jail, The yashmak of my despairs and desperation, Along with all my worries and wailing. Yet eye-service lurks beneath the veil....

Another Friday by myself I'll pull a memory off the shelf And walk with it, it's one with you Where we had coffee, just us two We played that morning then had lunch The Dimmick Inn, wait, was it brunch? It doesn't matter, afterward I drove back slow, it was inferred That time would thus be short and sweet Next to me in the...

I'll take them one by one Won't think too far ahead Day by day until that day When someday's here, instead When someday's now today When waiting is no more When baby steps turn somersaults I'll cartwheel to your door...
