It'd be so easy to leave but I can't
I awake to sunlight stabbing between my eyelids
Jabbing me out of a beautiful dream
In it I had runaway and was selfish for once
One selfish choice made up of a thousand decisions
But here I am awake, stomach in knots
My hands shaking as I turn over
Closing my eyes tightly, curling in on myself
My mind frantically searching for what I had
Just one, just one moment I had escaped
Yes, I've chosen this life and I know
I won't be walking away any time soon
There are cages you can't escape from
It's more complicated than picking a lock...
Jabbing me out of a beautiful dream
In it I had runaway and was selfish for once
One selfish choice made up of a thousand decisions
But here I am awake, stomach in knots
My hands shaking as I turn over
Closing my eyes tightly, curling in on myself
My mind frantically searching for what I had
Just one, just one moment I had escaped
Yes, I've chosen this life and I know
I won't be walking away any time soon
There are cages you can't escape from
It's more complicated than picking a lock...

A Wedding Gift
An intruder in mail - hostile declaration
a war hatchet of one wedding invitation.
With address unknown, with a nostalgic scent,
brings, uninvited, p's q's and - torment.
Reads;
"Hello, old pal. How long has it been?
With so much news - I know not where to begin.
I hope you are well, and without pet peeve,
(forgave) Promises broken, the decade old leave.
I have stocked on milk since; got cigs in the end.
And I'm marrying soon - A one once your friend.
Come - or send gift. If you'll be so kind.
Kisses and hugs; your childhood love...

In the Sorrow of Your Arms
In the Sorrow of Your Arms
Plans are made
To be broken,
And no charms
Can break
That spell.
Our destiny
May be a token
Of those
Dreams
We know so well.
There
In the sorrow
Of your arms
I still can
Hear them tell,
Every thing
We thought
We knew
In the end
Unwound,
And at last
Oh so so fast
Became....
The echo
Of our sound.
Plans are made
To be broken,
And no charms
Can break
That spell.
Our destiny
May be a token
Of those
Dreams
We know so well.
There
In the sorrow
Of your arms
I still can
Hear them tell,
Every thing
We thought
We knew
In the end
Unwound,
And at last
Oh so so fast
Became....
The echo
Of our sound.

THE HOLY UNION
THE HOLY UNION
Holy pledges like this private one
are too precious to be shown to all.
Decent people don't kiss in the street
as they feel that they will something miss.
Love, you are the purest in the world.
God combines two souls; none can sever.
They will meet up there, holy and pure
and of faithfulness they both are sure.
When they meet, no one can ever know
and their deeds and acts are secret vows.
These deeds are to join their hearts and souls
not to publicize to gain applause.
No one can at...

(...)
(…)
Canst thou say when darkness dies
When Heaven under shadow lies?
When I mirror my weaknesses in thee
And in thy heart, which suffers silently,
Whose chambers ache, and bleed on the throne
Of thy godlike tears that kiss my own,
As, by poison idols, our weeping was blessed—
Their empires falling, our sorrows caressed
O’er our assassins who threw their stones
Cursing the sin etched inside of our bones:
The love that could not speak out loud
As, at the gallows, we kiss a sundrenched cloud.
Canst thou say when...
Canst thou say when darkness dies
When Heaven under shadow lies?
When I mirror my weaknesses in thee
And in thy heart, which suffers silently,
Whose chambers ache, and bleed on the throne
Of thy godlike tears that kiss my own,
As, by poison idols, our weeping was blessed—
Their empires falling, our sorrows caressed
O’er our assassins who threw their stones
Cursing the sin etched inside of our bones:
The love that could not speak out loud
As, at the gallows, we kiss a sundrenched cloud.
Canst thou say when...

Ate a Bison Burger Last Night and 3 Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Hardly ever eat red meat
Bad for my prostate
Did you need to know that ?
Probably not
Then ate 3 mini Reese's peanut butter cups
My wife doles them out
She knows I would eat a lot more
Then complain that all I talk about is not taking a shit for a week
Did you need to know that ?
Modern marriage
For all of you afraid of marriage, there are benefits.....
Bad for my prostate
Did you need to know that ?
Probably not
Then ate 3 mini Reese's peanut butter cups
My wife doles them out
She knows I would eat a lot more
Then complain that all I talk about is not taking a shit for a week
Did you need to know that ?

inspiration Dido White Flag}
lingering in the shadows I watch you
you're my forever
I love you with a passion mister
there have been times I doubted
I thought we couldn't make it
there were affairs
but I decided I was in love for good
I wasn't going to give you over to another
they were passing fascinations
I'm here for your soul
holding your heart tightly to me
we've broken up
just to get back together again
after twenty years my lust still burns for you
but it's more than that

Bridezilla
Boarding a long white train of thought
Beyond the veil of pale lace dreams
Picking reverie at the seams
Wedding-dressed to the nines and tens
And having the guts for boudoir garters
Just a queen and not a martyr
Walking down the aisle
With a Cheschire cat smile
Stepping on a Skytree of hurt
And squashing a whole Shinjuku of fears.
Beyond the veil of pale lace dreams
Picking reverie at the seams
Wedding-dressed to the nines and tens
And having the guts for boudoir garters
Just a queen and not a martyr
Walking down the aisle
With a Cheschire cat smile
Stepping on a Skytree of hurt
And squashing a whole Shinjuku of fears.
