Half A Year


Half A Year

Never enough
Luck
In the past
Because
I would buy
Pretty
Nice
Jewelry
For her

It never
Broke the
Bank
But enough
To turn
Heads
And maybe
Make
Girlfriends
Jealous

Or
At least
Buy time
On my
Arm

But bad
Luck
In the past
Because it
Never
Lasted

So never
Do I buy
Jewelry
That's
Pretty
Nice

Because
Bad luck
And half
A year
Is all it
Really brought
Me

Always Her


Always Her

And I'm
On the road
I'm used to
Traveling
Back home
Tennessee
New York City
The bright lights

They keep me company
They keep
Me awake
On my
Way home

And the time
Changes
Buildings
Roads
And people

But it
Doesn't change
Her
Or the sunsets
We watched
Together

Because
When I
Come home
From
Wherever
I'm at
There's
Always her

Just The Fix


Just The Fix

Guitars held
High
Without
Bow ties

And wine
To be
Drunk
A bottle
Already
Drank
Kinda
Almost
Worth it

A run
Too long
Morning
In the sun
Too much
Thought
Over shit
I never
Bought

But
I know
Lady
Lovely
Like her
I do

And weekends
Slept in yet
Stay up
Up all night
Talking
Because she
Carries
A conversation
So
Well

And shit
Four thirty AM
Came hours
Ago

But to
Say
And
Feel
Happy
Or content
Makes up
For the
Lost sleep
And too much
Wine consumed

Because well
These days
Maybe
There's a reason
For this
Just like
Wearing
A bow tie
While playing
The guitar
Held so high

And
If there's
A reason
For all this
Then maybe
Staying up
Late
With you
With all the
Conversations
Bleeding into
Morning runs
In the sun

Are just the
Thing
Just the
Fix
To be
Happy
And content
In a life
Like this

Wooden Heart


Wooden Heart

Around my
Neck
Sits
Holds
My wooden
Heart
With the
Fragile chain
Carefully
Linking
All the
Pieces
Together

Precious
What I
Carry
Each day
Never to give
Away
It
To anyone
Anytime
Soon

Wooden
Heart
Or just
Wooden
Love
Nice to
Look
At
Especially
When it breaks
As it
Splinters
Into a
Thousand pieces

Carefully
Crafted
Yet
Almost
Strong
Enough
To withstand
Anything
Everything

Except
But only
You

Pocket Full of Secrets


Pocket Full of Secrets

It's so easy
To forget
Or take
For
Granted
Things
Or her
Everyday

But then
One day
Just up
And leave
A blink
Then
Leaving
So easy
As its
Hard to
Leave it
Her behind

Because
There
Was
My pocket
Full of
Stories
Secrets
I never
Got to
Share
With her

If she
Ever came
Back
I promise
I swear
To share
Them
All
All
With her

Last Night's Dream


Last Night's Dream

And I dream
Every night
Just so I
Can see
If I'm
Lucky
Enough
See her

And every
Night
When I dream
Of her
She's
More beautiful
Than I
Last saw
Last remember

Hair
Shining
In the sun
Gently
Blowing
From the
Breeze
Wearing
A blue
Sun dress

And I dream
That she's
Looking at me
A smile
Is on her
Face
Bigger than
Setting sun
As it's
Setting on us

While laying
In the
Damp grass
Between the trees
Twilight
Stars
Starting to
Reveal
Themselves
And a moon
Full
Ever so
Bright
Fireflies
Glowing
Giving
Light
To the night

And as the
Air
Gets chilly
I dream
You getting
Closer
To me
I'm
Kissing you
On your
Cheek

Before you
Close
Your eyes
As you drift
Off to sleep

The beauty
Of everything
You
Sets me
At ease
As I drift
Off
Dreamland

Only this
Time
I hope
I never
Wake up

The Occasion of Love


The Occasion of Love

Kiss on your
Cheek
Because maybe
I was
Too shy
To say
Goodbye
Or
Too happy
To say
Hello

And
Unsure
But
Of where
I stood
With you
Or just
In life

But
On the
Off occasion

I figured
It all
Out
Or just
You
And me

In time
For this
In time
For us

I'll be
Happy to say
I know
I fell
In love
With you
That day
