overembellished
Like the worms spinning their fine threads to create something even more beautiful you spin your words around my heart. They slip around the form of my heart, a kiss with each caress.
Sometimes I look at the sun
Falling down behind the mountain
I think about the lands below
the orange deserts
The jaded jungles
And I wonder
I wonder what the people
Down there think
As the sun begins to illuminate the planet they know
And I don't.
one smile can hide a multitude
it can mask
A disaster just waiting to happen
I tell you to smile
Smile like you mean it
But it's hard
It's so goddamn hard
to believe a smile
that lacks in feeling
Rise and Shine early birds
Every morning
the same old words.
The early bird catches the worm
I stay in bed
I'll never learn.
You're going to have to be patient. You're going to have to teach me. Teach me first to trust. Teach me the meaning of love. These concepts are not tangible to me. I cannot see them. I cannot feel them. You need to teach me how to live. Then I can learn to love you.
You go live my life
While I paint my nails
and obstrustive red
to distract from the pain
Of you
your long lean form
stumbling into the lime light
Blinking
Live my life
I'll wait behind
With my painted nails
And guide you on.
That scratching shaking feeling that makes your cringe.
Thinking about nails dragging themselves down the bored.
Merely to irritate
Merely to frustrate
White lines and numbers
Pi is only a number
not intended to frustrate
Video killed the radio star,
Apparently.
I never listen
To the radio or to the words
Of any song.
Only the thoughts of other people
Sparkle sparkle
the coins that clink
In her paper cup
why does one have so much
When she has so few
The limo driver didn't stop
didn't dull the sparkle
Just drove
Right by
