Bingo

I must confess
that I have not yet
learned to understand you
I would like to
climb inside and see
just what makes you tick
you're everywhere
or is it just my imagination
someone is always
mentioning your name
or something about you
I think I could move
out of the country even
and someone would ask
about you... "have you seen"
I'm either going to get
over loving you
or win you one of these days
like a Crackerjack prize
Did you see what I found
in my box!!!
bingo... I win

Youthful Folly

Love my youthful folly
carried me on its wings
I couldn't help but sing
when I fell from on high
still, I wasn't sorry
even through the tears
I cried....
I remember it fondly
year after year....

Whirlwind of turmoil

Today is one of havoc
and mental confusion
rush... rush... rush...
How easily others seem
to lead their calm lives
The have money
husbands who care,
happiness...
I'm a whirlwind
of turmoil
in comparison
caught in the
incurable disease
of love's crutches...
Dear Doctor
can you cure
this illness?...
You ignore my
platitudes
by your own choice
and the disease
spreads...

Rattling Bones

The world a shallow grave
just deep enough
to bury our dreams,
but still expose our mistakes...
rattling bones
of deeds gone wrong....

World on a shelf

I deceived myself
dreaming dreams
that would never be
my world on a shelf
wasting my springs
never truly free

More Still

I'm lessor now
because you're gone
but more still
because you were here

just waiting

I am bored
with what I am
locked up everything
that I ever was before
taking my daily pill
waiting for my cycle
that is part of the woman
I am... you knew
