Save Me





A drop, a plop
Nightmare on
Slow breathe, fast heart
The chase, the run
Filthy streets
The cries, save me
The hand, the grab
Free me, reach me
The crowd, the noise
No one sees
No one stops

Memories





I want a basket to store these memories
To keep them close and safe and hidden
I would open it when I grow old
I want the roses in there too
To keep them smelling good
They fragile, let me wrap them in silk
And preserve them
Or, I could just let them go
And travel the world
Fly with the northern cold wind
Sit on the sand
Dance with the storm
Run with the kings
Hunt with the beasts
And soar high like a bird

My Name Is



She changes her name often to run and hide
But is still found and is beautiful to me
Someone tell her she is missed
The seasons change and so does she
This is that time when the flowers blossom
And spread the scent and feeds the bee
Unfortunate my hope is alone
Can't get to write a happy tune
The rainbow and the wooly cloud brings some relief
But who would clean up this gloom
A bird perches on the cloth line; she is singing a fine tune
Does she have a message?
Or is she too happy to care for me
How does one punish oneself and atone?
Years of sins to clean
Should I change my name
But would she look for me

You're Breaking Up









This gradual decay of the memories
Is making a space in my chaotic mind
Giving me freedom from your thoughts
A sense of stillness settles

The myriad hues of the setting sun
Becons me to ready for a new day
Nothing binds me to you anymore
Nor the tears neither the smiles

Can't beguile my solvent self
Hope you find someone new
I got to live this life beautiful
Better it woud be without you

The weather has changed
I have to step out
Each step in a direction
Away from you

Made Me Think of You



I found the box of happiness
My name with the wishes and your signature on it
Dust licked me and that memory rush
The phone, the gift, the birthday
The cold nights are over
I smell spring, the character of my nature is changing
A good laugh and that beautiful time
Made me think of you
