To touch the horizon beyond
The future doesn’t look so bright
but in time things will be alright
so reach for a star
‘cause who knows how far
all your dreams will take you tonight.

Happy birthday
A rose for the bonny lass
on this, her birthing day.
A flower with a touch of class
for one who’s the same way.
A dress for the lovely girl
to compliment her eyes.
A gown for her to dance and swirl
and drift on through the skies.
Jewels for the sweet woman
that catch the moonlight’s spark
and burn quite divine when
she drifts on through the dark.
A crown of stars for the fine lady
to tug out her sweet smile
and show the grace that we already
were watching all the while.
One of those days…
Sometimes I want a life of pleasure
that I can enjoy at leisure.
But my days are sour
and my life’s quite dour
rather than something I treasure.
Philosophy in a [teacup]
I pour myself another drink
while I take some time to think
about tomorrow
on time I borrow
from a life that ends in a blink.
Effort
I’m completely soaked with sweat
but I’m still not there quite yet.
I have to face this trial,
and struggle all the while,
or my dream becomes forfeit.
Weary
I’ve got so much wear and tear
from being dragged here and there.
I’m a bit depressed,
and I need some rest,
or I’ll fall into despair.
Shrouded in song
I wear each and every note
like the finest winter coat
that keeps me quite warm
through the raging storm
of a world at my throat.
Making memories
Though we didn’t know just yet,
on the first day that we met
when I took you by the hand
and said, “I understand,”:
a memory we won’t forget.
Comfort
When I need a little touch,
I need you to do as such:
hold me ‘round my waist –
quick, with all due haste.
Is that asking for too much?
End of my rope
I can’t help being such a mess
from all this goddamn, fucking stress.
I’m bursting at the seems
and just about to scream,
but you don’t care – so I digress.
