Make believe
cover your eyes and count
to ten
Make believe
open your eyes and look
at me
Show me what you think
I’ll show you what I think
We’ll see each other
in a land of
make believe
So many happy happenings
to find, to have, to be
For make believe
is what we
believe in

They asked what love is
I asked what life is
We looked at each other
like children in a playground
asking questions we couldn’t answer
We giggled
we loved
we lived
That is all we did
that is all we needed
that is all
That is all

The winds of change
will shift the sands of time
but will never, ever blow out
the candles of love
Sleepless, I lay in bed
wishing upon a white ceiling
to have you set free
and for my heart
to capture you
Set sail to the stars
let your ego drown
let your hope surface
let your humility take charge
Without light
a heart is dark
and in disarray
Let me take you
to a far away place
to a place of opulence and magic
of daydreams and starry nights
Let us light a candle for you and I
every single day that we sail
until we light our hearts
until we are free

See and be seen
know and be known
It’s the game of society
we play
Run like a champ
avoid the chimps
A few tips
for sounding intelligent
When someone says something, nod ever so slightly, as if you’re agreeing, then stop as if you’re disagreeing. A subtle frown might add to the effect.
When someone mentions the “government,” look distressed and say “1984.”
Quote Oscar Wilde whenever someone talks about literature.

A song, untitled
about a star
goes like this
A fallen angel
her wings of fame
were now of shame
Cocooned by her wings
she wept her worry
with no hurry
A corpse of fame past
lifeless, like roadkill
A life, untitled
carried away
by carrion crows
