Young And Ready
She sees the world as an ocean
And she wanna dip her toe in it
I told her if you go to far
You gon need a boat witcha
She grabbed a boat
She's ready to go
I told her make sure there’s a
Life ring and a lifeboat
Just in case cause you might need those
She responded “that’s fine”
Bags packed
Excited to go on this ride
I untied the rope from the pillar

You seemed mature beyond your years
An easy manner belied your youth
On balance I took you for thirty
But twenty was nearer the truth
Twenty however ripe is still young
You need solid years under your belt
You convinced yourself you loved me
But really didn't know what you felt
I was flattered by your attentions
Watched my peers look at us agog
It was nice t...

City Lights
City lights,
Fireflies,
Half-hearted smiles
And ugly cries.
Bustling roads,
Narrow and broad;
Abundant with shops and bars,
And people- their bodies, minds and souls scarred.
Edifices tall and sturdy.
Trapped in it are people content and happy;
And those walking on thorns, barbed and merciless;
And those breathing but lifeless.
The city is a plac...

The Mirror
This rumination came from growing awareness of my mortality which, in turn, is generated and measured by the expanding list of things once given or assumed that, alas, are no longer possible.
The Mirror
How shall I talk to you, my friend?
How should I regard you
(and will I care)
as you grow ever older before my gaze
while I stay young?
Who are you? Dare I look on yo...

In the beginning
In the beginning he would wake at every peculiar sound that came from the babies crib
In the beginning he would bring me a beverage as I fed his son whilst the moon was dimly lit
In the beginning he would rush home from work eager to see the family he created
In the beginning we were the people whom he could be himself and escape with
In the beginning we were enough
He wou...

I was young
I was young .. A simple statement that is the answer to many questions I am presented with
Why did you get drunk, and throw up in the hall way?
Why did you leave school, and truant all day?
How did you get pregnant, at just seventeen?
Why did you marry him, given what you had seen?
Doesn't it feel silly, divorcing already?
You're only 21, doesn't your life seem so craz...

Young and wrinkly
Young and wrinkly
You are not getting old
But numerically you've advanced
No, you're not getting old
You're just chronologically enhanced.
You are not growing up
But of this much I am sure
To avoid growing up
We must become more immature.
We must dance until our joints creak
And sing until we can't speak,
Laugh until our lungs ache
And love until ...

- For my sleeping Savannah.
Sleep my lovely, and dream my lovely.
Close your eyes and see, my lovely.
See the fifth dimension that has formed within you,
See the universe behind your eyes.
See the truth behind the lies, see the world without disguise.
- Stars dance, in a floating sway.
Creating a rip through the milky way.
Black holes begin to turn and swirl,

L..O..V..E..
L is for limitless.
For our limitless love
that will continue to grow.
O is for only you.
For you're the only one
I adore to see.
V is for voice.
For your voice that speaks
of an angel.
E is for extraordinary.
For our extraordinary love
for another, that is so rare.
