Something You Lost

She’ll never know, when she tells you goodnight, The fear that you hide, as she lays by your side. When you stand, all the faults of a man Etched right in your face, still she lays there in place.   How the warmth of the garden you sowed. Is the […]

The Thing About Dreams

The thing about dreams is that everything seems like you’re riding a wave that’s been forming all day in your mind. The thing about time is all in your mind. Days turn to weeks turn to years turn to infinite signs: what you’re leaving behind. And the hell with the […]

All my young life, I’ve been trying to say just one thing right. Now we’ve come to the day. You’re here in my arms, I don’t know what to say. I believe I was wrong, probably most of my life. Or I’m just hearing it wrong. I’m just watching the […]
