I knew the minute you
walked away, it was over.
That minute we turned our
backs on each other, forever.
...

in the future moments will
come when one person says
to another, “That was great! ”
...

As I look at the photographs
with you in my arms,
looking one at the other,
all I can sense are your charms.
...

I’ve been caught in a trap
of live and learn.
Walls crumble down,
while my mind burns,
...

Sometimes, I search,
tripping over the stone
that’s meant for me.
Before long, I realize the

“The winter's comin' on
Summer's almost gone, ”
sang Mr. Morrison that
night as I drove to forget

you burst into this world,
with your arms a-flailing

a desirous appetite I need to quell

but you've been doin' me wrong
playin' both sides of your shoulder
you keep stringin' me along

Save me! !
I’m falling, plunging
into a ring of tragedy
shot full of despair,

the night air was crisp
we all stood still,
watching history unfold
...

Clear yourself
from bias for awhile please,
and listen to these words
as they are set to melodies.

Cousin,
night was showing its first signs,
when over the hill came a white stallion
with you wondering behind.
...

If you take green and
give it Midori, maybe
a little Vodka, you could
Melonate the forests

River, ripple with the wind,
record the cold clouds
of a blueless sky, it seems
so lonely on this pier.
...

on the verge
nerves shot
need a hit
but I know

caught my baggy clothes
from behind, the arms
of my sweater and pants legs
