How long has it been since you looked me in the eye
Pressed my hand inside your palm
Closed the door on the thinly falling rain
How long has it been
Since we stretched our legs by the riverbank
The lovely air is circling my throat
Like a string of pearls strung from your words
I can’t remember if you loved me
or [...]

pale light lovesong

Tomorrow will light up the world with the morning
Like the thin cigarette pressed between your lips
Tomorrow will light up the world with the morning
Like the slow waking steam of the river’s breath
Tomorrow will light up the world with the morning
Your silhouette near my silhouette
If the rest of my life was a word I could write,
I [...]
for the strangers I have passed and smiled at

Look into my eyes
We’ll only do this once
Before our paths slide merrily along, somewhere else.
In the star dazed darkness we lived away our emptiness.

There were better days waiting
But we perfered these
Sitting on the swingset of memory
Moving up and down to the rhythm of words
Writing our stories on the space between the stars
Hoping that emptiness would not describe us
say anything but nothing or just something

There isn’t much to say
It rained today and snow was in the air
I thought of you, but kept mostly to myself
Hummed the tune to a sad song
Said hello to a few people, made some good
and bad small talk
I did other things too, but none of them meant much
The day just ended like an unfinished conversation
that [...]
oh the snow

It snowed today love, and everything was hushed and new. It made me sad to be alone– the night so deeply dark against the pale world, the pinprick light of the stars so far away.
love lightly

Love lightly on this cold grey gravel morning, that blue bellied cloud is slumped against the dark roll of hills outside my window. The sun is barely stirring but the wind is buzzing on dark espresso. Washed out wheat fields, just barely gold, the fields shaded ever so slightly with a brush stroke of green [...]
sappily sweet and falling into me

la la la
what the hell am I doing here
watching the rain on the pavement
thinking about the way you smiled right into my eyes
what the hell am I doing
what the hell am I doing
laughing with you about the fat bird
in the bush outside McDonalds
we threw frech fries at him
but he couldn’t fly
He was so fat
la la [...]
live lightly and sprightly, live delightfully

There was so much more I wanted to say. You looked at me, I looked away. Distance was always easier
Safer, I guess.
I wonder how much life i’ve lost in the second guess.
Happiness like a portrait by Rembrant
Cold and smiling.
Renissance living, Rennissance dying
(Hold my hand)
There’s no more time to stand stand starring
When someone somewhere is dying alone.
And someone [...]
love is in the red washed current of my snow cold blood

In the dark winter of my heart
I loved you
In the quiet chill of white snow lashes
And rose colored hats
I wanted it to last
and you did too
(There was so much life in you)
There was so much to love
To swallow with our eyes
But there was only enough time to pass it by
Smile a little
Like art hanging on [...]
