Swaying in the breeze,
the ocean beneath the trees,
sun is out to please.
Swaying in the breeze,
the ocean beneath the trees,
sun is out to please.
The darkness knows
as the thunder rolls
and the rain drops fall,
forming a wet wall.
Umbrellas snap,
heads with caps
as patrons splash
under the lightning crash.
The rain subsides
as clouds begin to hide
and water drips
in between coffee sips.
LEAD BOOTS
AND THIS HEAVY HEART
ASSURE MY DEMISE
AS I FALL APART.
MY FATE WAS SEALED
FROM THE START
ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS,
YOU DID YOUR PART.
Lead me on
and break me down.
I’ll still follow
and play your clown.
Your smile charms,
as your body enchants.
My poor heart aches;
it never had a chance.
Bleed me dry
and leave me for dead.
Your kiss on my lips
is the last thought in my head.
Riddles born of answers
from questions never asked
and hatred disguised in sweetness
from cowards who remain masked.
Details that remain voiceless
in plans not meant to last
made by people who are pointless
and lack any sense of class.
You are a blank slate
just waiting to be skewed
by the colors of another
you’ve already screwed
and the personality you lack
will reflect from your prey
as you sit back and wait
for another poor soul to stay.
Sun hits the blacktop,
summertime bursts in on spring.
The next season falls.
Before we met,
I never knew
all that I missed
without you.
This day each year
I hold so dear
since the day we met
is the best day yet.
Now I know
with certainty
you hold my heart
eternally.
Sad eyes scan the room
for something to redeem,
but nothing seems to catch them
and this cure remains unseen.
Lonely hearts are waiting,
two lost souls in the night,
for something yet to come
and only then they’ll know it’s right.
I tried to tell you all along
that I had your best interests in mind
since your failure to comply
could potentially leave you blind.
All you had to do was listen
and be my eternal slave,
so bring me a treat right now,
tuna flavored are my fave.
