Its branches bend and twist.
Its leaves are whispering with glee
Its hallow makes a whistle.
A little river under the tree
Is running . . .

Take this place in which
we exist, but fear living.
Call it anything but beautiful.
The sun will rise and set. . . .

Yesterday, I knew this girl
who wore 'tragicly hip' as an accessory
to thrift store jeans
and manufactured angst
she drowned her happiness in bottles
then peeled the labels back

I wait to hear the bell
My bride lies sleeping
Inside a humid hell

Lies ‘neath the sand
Within this barren desert
I made my final stand
No one witnessed

Tearing at my soul
Asking me which dog I'll feed
And which will I let go

Next day burdens fell like rain
Estranged loved ones thought it would be smart
to heal old wounds and be nice as a start
Loved ones I didn't even know . . .

Another tear drops today
Another childs dream dies
Another heart being broken
Another child hears all lies
Another fantasy killed
Another heart filled . . .

I'll Be By Your Side
When you're a friend in need
When your heart starts to bleed
When your breath subsides
And you need to break down and cry
I'll be by your side . . .

Again another boring night
Until you come online tonight
Laughing and joking is what we do
Share secrets and memories that stay between me and you
It's almost sad . . .

Belinda lived in a little white house,
With a little black kitten and a little gray mouse,
And a little yellow dog and a little red wagon,
And a realio, trulio, little pet dragon.

Dogs need to run, but some people don't like to be dog snogged while they take a Sunday stroll. Dog parks make everybody happy.
Dogs run off-leash and learn to socialize, owners take leisurely . . .

Before I was married
True Love
How can you be by myside
one minute, then far away like an empty tide
All I know is I gave you everything I'am
and because of what I did I'm . . .

Races
Why are we so greedy and mean
Why can't we see the beauty for what there

The whole world could open to us
if we could judge with our hearts and not
