A lot has been pondered...

Oh baby blue eyes, same as the skies
Cheeks like a rose with a button nose
Your lengthy legs run around my head
So I say, hey, what do ya say? Will you give me a chance today?

I’ve been very kind and had you in mind, when thinking of some fun.
I’m nice it’s true, but it’s different with you, you’re different from everyone.
It would make me smile if you stayed a while.

We would stare at stars and point out mars,
Get lost together in the infinite forever.
We’d walk through the park, in the dark,
You’d hold me close, and I’d just hold you closer.
I’d be with you, forever true, my baby blue eyes.

Oh baby blue eyes, same as the skies
Cheeks like a rose with a button nose
Your lengthy legs run around my head
So I say, hey, what do ya say? Will you give me a chance today?

TUNNEL VISION

Superstitions constrict our lives,
And no one seems to want to open their eyes.
You can’t reach up and expect to fly, or put off life and wait to die.
But if you want to soar, you will have to look within
Can’t buy this at a store, or just dissociate from sin.
Follies are a part of life, and so we must know our own strife.

We’re all cruising through our tunnels fast
Some looking forward, some looking past
I know I have my fair share of blinders on my sides
And I can never really walk in your shoes
But when I open my eyes I have nothing to lose
I just let it all go and go for a cruise…outside
And I can finally see the sun
I can finally see the sky
I could stay here forever never in the same place
This state of mind, I clam as mine
This state of mind, I clam as mine

Our tunneled eyes feel no surprise, the shock of death of those far away is meaningless
I could tell you more, but it’s all a bore after a minute or two
But once your mother dies and your father cries, it’s in you…
That infectious laugh from the joke of life, that it all can end in a single night
It comes as tears, it comes as fears, but after all that’s said and done you’re stronger
And before it happens again you sit and ponder, “What if we lasted longer?”
So we search the ocean floors, for something that’s already yours
It’s in you, and me, it’s eternity, in every smile that lingers for a moment
Or when I hold your hand and just hold it, we hold up time.
And this sates of mind, we can claim as mine, and yours, as ours.

---------------------------------------------

LIKE A JELLYFISH, fluid and simple, beautifully dangerous
Such a disaster spinning faster and faster
Mind set on escape, wearing my cape
Fly.

PLUCK A STRING, make it sing, hear it ring.
To love one you must love all, sounds like…
A singing bird, a single word, an epiphany, in a tree.

TORN APART by every tear, by every fear
And if we forgot it all there would be nothing to say
But nothing exists anyway, so why worry
Go ahead and scurry if you feel the need
I’m here and happy to be

SPOTLIGHT, tap this. White light, see this.
No light, hopeless, Eternal light, absorb this.
Be the L I G H T.

LOVE: I will hold your hand even when we’re not speaking.

I will look you in your eyes and tell you of your beauty.

I will run to you through the pouring rain, and feel all of your pain.

I will give you everything I have inside, with you my heart will reside.

but I need these too, I need them from you, only to give them back.


EVERY MOMENT, counting moment, waiting till the countdown’s done.
The boys and the girls on separate walls everyone is feeling shunned.
Trigger finger always lingers, waiting for the targets move.
Detonate your courage and take her by the hand.
You’ll lose the hours and the minutes, but the moments are always there.

I HAD LOVE

I had love, I knew love, and I thought we were above
All those petty things like diamond rings, and other little things.
When the sky cries rain, I too cry in pain, it’s not the same

I had you, you had me, and I knew then that I was free.
When you left my heart in shreds, I laid in bed for days.
It was a terribly long and dreaded haze.

I’ve tried to tell myself there’s more to do than think of you,
But you held me so tight in your embrace I cannot forget your face.
You found someone else, and I’m all by myself, alone, alone, alone.

I think I’ll venture home, give my dog a bone, and remember better times.
I look in every girl’s eyes and to my surprise I see love, not you.
The problem was in my pulse, my heart still beat to yours.

I woke up this morning a boy anew, if you only knew the boy you had.
I had you, and your fickle love, but I know now that I am free.
Free to be, to be me, to be myself, my silly happy self.

But I sit here writing myself better ad you ponder what and why.
You wouldn’t let me try, and made me cry, but that’s done now.
Don’t worry about me, I’m strong and I’ll pull through

But you can’t expect me to come to you when you see the truth.
I’m here, my heads clear, no burden on my back.
No grudge, you’re forgiven, we’re only human, so let’s not be inhumane.
You and I will get past this and no longer feel the shame.
