What are you in the mood for today?
Much
If she’s not much to speak of
Why do I talk about her all day long
If she’s not much to look at
Why do I gaze at her face Continue reading Much
Random
If what we expect
is ordinarily strange
then extraordinary
must be only plain
If what we get
is always random
then what is odd
is more of the same Continue reading Random
Reruns
One kiss can
Last a lifetime
Living in reruns
On every channel
In my one track mind
All play the same scene
You and me, that kiss Continue reading Reruns
Eons
time stopped
outside our door
ticking tocking
covetous
for the love of us
seconds signal
minutes mingle
ours disappear Continue reading Eons
Outside
Heart plotting
Head nodding
Lean forward
Blue eyes blink
Begins to think
What life is like
Outside the border
of his world order Continue reading Outside

On skylark wings
She sings
Unspoken lyrics in
Unbroken song Continue reading Skylark

My life
An open book
In idle moments
Her beauty stalks
Hiding between pages Continue reading Captured

We step

in three quarter time
Just like before Continue reading Step

So I made her my mine
Heavily invested
Should’ve been arrested
God as my witness Continue reading Overstock
Rearrange
In a way strange
on the day
she left me
Twas a good change
for the mood
the mess I was in
Now I rearrange
the furniture Continue reading Rearrange
Seek
If you want to
Live it up
Never give up
Never quit
Just sit
In peace
in prayer
with purpose
In chorus
In concert Continue reading Seek
Claim
no laments
no latent strain
when she lay claim
to my soul’s contents
she sings
lie down
lay low
let’s listen Continue reading Claim
Astray
Daydreams
Sipping java
Slipping by
Not so much gone astray
As gone awry Continue reading Astray
