Yellow Cardigan

Yellow Cardigan

There’s this girl
Tonight
That I’m
Out with
It’s her
Birthday
Well at midnight
Just in case
I drink too
Much
And forget

I like her
Bought her
Her drink of
Choice
Price doesn’t
Matter
Right now
Or tonight

She wears
An attractive
Yellow Cardigan
I try to match up
With
My Blue Cardigan

I hate it
Like I hate the
Rain
The rain
That rained
On us
On the way
To the bar

Note to self:
Bring umbrella
Next time
Even if she
Says “No”

Sophisticated
With class and style
More than me

A dude who
Sometimes
Cares
Sometimes
We never know
The whole story
She doesn’t know
My story
Maybe later
Not now
Not when
I’m drinking

But she’s cute
And worth
Taking home
But I can’t and
Won’t
Not tonight
We swore on
Each other

Sometimes
I could
I would break
But not tonight
Not cause
She is a good
Girl

And I should be
Slapped
But wait
It’s midnight now
Happy Birthday

Secret Wars

Secret Wars

And I guess
There's
A hole
Somewhere
In my
Heart
Since you
Left

Void
Filling
Something
I don't
Feel like
Filling
Anymore

These
Secret wars
I fight

The
Good Fight

I know

But now
You can't
Help
Anymore
Rather
Aren't
Invited

Silence
Undiscovered
Until now
Fully appreciated

But back
To this
Hole
In my heart
A wish
To fill
Fulfill

As
Time will
Tell
Hopefully
Next time
You'll
I'll
Invite you

The Truth About You

The Truth About You

We lie
Truthfully
Well
We
Truthfully
Lie

And this
Truth
About you
Could not
Be a lie

Because
Not a bad
Bone
To break
In your
Body
So
Beautiful

Your eyes
That catches me
Off guard
Frozen
Forever
For only
A second

And don’t
Leave
My side
Because
Lost
Wouldn’t
Begin
To explain
Myself

The meaning
Of things
Or life
All
Rendered
Useless
Unless
I can
Share
With you

A princess
At heart
To the prince
I try
To be

Swept
Off your
Feet
Hopeless
Romantic
I am

But you
You like
That

Change
Something
One thing
Well
You changed me

So truthfully
No lies
The truth
About you
If you want
To know

Is I’d be
Lost
Lost
Without
You

Home To

Home To

Punk rock
And the like
Or not
Plays
In my car

Driving
Myself
The midday
Hours
Coffee
Cup holder

My shades
Not worn
Yet
Cold
Outside
My car
But
Seat warmers
Do their job

Downtown
Around town
I drive

A picture
In my
Rearview
Mirror
Flipped
Backwards

Arrive
Destination
Coffee
Trash

Smile
Sign
Deal
Business

Return
Car
Pay
Parking
Too expensive

Twenty minutes
Of my life
Gone

But
Back
Home
More
Punk
Of the like
Quiet

Home
Arriving
Her
Dinner
Cooking
Table set
Wine
Uncorked

My life
I’m happy to
Come home
To

Along The Way

Along The Way

And I can't
Grow up
Quick enough
Or say
What I feel
Loud enough
For others
To hear
Except
For you
My dear

Well
Sometimes
I'll build
It up
To watch
It crash
Down
When I
Come to town

But I feel
It
Or you
Inside
And
Somewhere
Along the way

I know
As I grow
All the facts
And the tax
I pay
For it to
Be
This way

But
You
Make
Me
Worth
Something
Worth it

If not
Just for
Only
You

Honorary Title

Honorary Title

Yes please
I do
Or I mean
That would
Be lovely
To be
With you

Hold my
Hand
And
Hold me
Tight

Cuddle
Every day
Eight times
A week

Cook
Kiss
And
Love
Just me
Please

Dance
Slow
Dress up
Eat out
Classy
Always
With you

The lady
Mine
Always
By
My side

And carry
This
Honorary title
Of being
My
One
And only
"The girl"
My girlfriend

What Mornings May Bring

What Mornings May Bring

And as the night passes
The bad
The horrible
And all that is evil
Washes away
With the first site
Of the sun cresting over the
Horizon

The light that brings
Happiness and hope
Of tomorrow
Has now finally
Arrived

Today is good
A new chance to
Breathe
Start fresh
And live
Just like each morning
Brings the rising sun

The sun of hope
And all that is
Good
