Tree an' in Love
Small kid time
Had only Tree tings I truly loved:
my red rubber boots,
my scoop net,
and ice cream
when i was about tree
I wen love ice cream so much
I wen wake up suppa early
befoa everybody else ( bumbye I get caught )
an' i wen pull my little red chair
all da way across da kitchen floor
in front of da ice box
foa get to da ice cream
I wen love ice cream so much
I wen sit in front of da tv
stay watching cartoons
an' i wen wack one whole half gallon by myself
my love affair wit ice cream
was so frickin' intents
my fadda had fo' put one lock
ontop da freeza...
cuz i was Tree
an' in Love.

Sweet dreams...cut short
by da aromatic alarm clock

an' jump outta bed,
racing into da kitchen
cuz get Saturday Morning Spam & Eggs!

Quiksand
quiksand
take me by the hand
give me a mirror
so i can watch myself sink
surrender
succumb
no fight
amused by my apathy
solace in the instability
comfort in the fragility
refuge in the inconsistency
mocking myself merrily
happily descending
into peaceful plunder
take me by the hand
give me a mirror
so i can watch myself sink
surrender
succumb
no fight
amused by my apathy
solace in the instability
comfort in the fragility
refuge in the inconsistency

Dining with Emotions
Swallowed my heartache
drank away my guilt
consumed my insecurities
devoured my inhibition
savored the tears
choked on the joy
sipped happiness
doggie-bagged fear
nibbled on forever
wet my appetite for love
re-fill of infatuation
shot of sincerity
parched for honesty
chugged hope
sent certainty back
another round, please
drank away my guilt
consumed my insecurities
devoured my inhibition
savored the tears
choked on the joy
sipped happiness
doggie-bagged fear
nibbled on forever
wet my appetite for love
re-fill of infatuation
shot of sincerity
parched for honesty
chugged hope
sent certainty back
another round, please
Portrait
moments frozen in time
hold more lies
than the truth of everchanging lovers
black and white
smiles and laughter
stare mockingly
jeering in contempt
Episodes parade across my mental television
Re-runs of raw emotion
Fists, Kisses, and Embraces
who we were
not who we are
merely memories for better or worse
sweet retribution
flame
swirl
and dance
