The First Tale He paid no mind when his finger tip felt the familiar snag of the chip. The chip, a comforter. Each time his finger felt the rough edge of the chip the memory of his own love, his own soulmate came into his and the time she made the chip… The Second Tale…
A Conversation Amongst The Luna Lilac
Mr Dickens settled into his striped, wooden chair and scratched his ear. Having cleared his ear out, he didn’t appreciate the increased volume of the chirping Circada playing their symphony in the various flower beds in the garden. A noticeably irritated expression grew over his face… The glass chinked as the ring on his finger…
A Conversation Amongst The Starlight White
The unbalanced glass of whiskey rested precariously on the arm of his beloved deck chair, the moon sparkles glimmering on the surface of the glass.. He ran his finger around the edge of the glass, feeling the slightly jagged chip on the rim, the result of a little too much exuberance while washing up… His…
Lyrics as Poems of Life: ‘Bad’
If you twist and turn away. If you tear yourself in two again. If I could, yes I would If I could, I would let it go. Surrender, dislocate. If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind. Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away. Into the night, and through the…
Lyrics as Poems of Life: ‘Ultraviolet (Light My Way)’
Sometimes I feel like I don’t know Sometimes I feel like checking out. I wanna get it wrong Can’t always be strong And love, it won’t be long. Oh, sugar, don’t you cry. Oh, child, wipe the tears from your eyes. You know I need you to be strong And the day it is dark,…
Lyrics as Poems of Life: ‘Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Out Of’
I’m not afraid of anything in this world There’s nothing you can throw at me that I haven’t already heard I’m just trying to find a decent melody A song that I can sing in my own company I never thought you were a fool But darling, look at you You gotta stand up straight,…
Lyrics as Poems of Life: ‘Moment Of Surrender’
I tied myself with wire To let the horses run free Playing with the fire Until the fire played with me The stone was semi-precious We were barely conscious Two souls too cool to be In the realm of certainty Even on our wedding day We set ourselves on fire Oh God, do not deny…
Lyrics as Poems of Life: ‘Thank U’
How ’bout getting off these antibiotics How ’bout stopping eating when I’m full up How ’bout them transparent dangling carrots How ’bout that ever elusive kudo Thank you India Thank you terror Thank you disillusionment Thank you frailty Thank you consequence Thank you thank you silence How ’bout me not blaming you for everything How…

That I would be good even if I did nothing That I would be good even if I got the thumbs down That I would be good if I got and stayed sick That I would be good even if I gained ten pounds That I would be fine even if I went bankrupt That…
Lyrics as Poems of Life: ‘Citizen Of The Planet’
I start up in the north I grow from special seed I sprinkle it with sensibility from French and Hungarian snow I linger in the sprouting until my engine’s full Then I move across the sea To European bliss To language of poets As I cut the cord of home I kiss my mother’s mother…
Lyrics as Poems of Life: ‘Stonemilker’
A juxtapositioning fate Find our mutual coordinate Moments of clarity are so rare I better document this At last the view is fierce All that matters is Who is open chested And who has coagulated Who can share And who has shut down the chances Show me emotional respect I have emotional needs I wish…
Lyrics as Poems of Life: ‘Little Lion Man’
Weep for yourself, my man, You’ll never be what is in your heart Weep, little lion man, You’re not as brave as you were at the start Rate yourself and rake yourself Take all the courage you have left And waste it on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head But…
