Floating
World
~
Slipping away like a whisper,
I can't help but see the light of the window
as I walk away.
Echoes of a time long ago,
Smiling with tears in my eyes.
The beat of my heart matching
the taps of the drums,
the marching, parading people
the dry taste of my own disappointment
the pain washing around my soul
the muscles in my jaw contract,
the nerves in my mind react,
and the tears slid, slid slid
their way down.
we fought for this world.
cried, bled, died for this world.
this world that is no longer.

Socks
~
Don't you wonder?
If I hadn't been there,
would you have made it through?
Can't you see?
You say you aren't sure,
commitment locks down your heart
Don't you feel it?
You've already trapped mine.
Everytime it flutters,
You press harder, harder,
a little trickle flows

Hey Hey
~
Let me know if I come across strong
I can't help but move toward the feeling
running through my veins,
almost burning, a little rush of blood
the flush spreads across my cheeks, to my throat
my chest.
Eyes a little glazed, thoughts a little cloudy
The motion doesn't still
my heart beats ever quicker
like my own little samba band
the salt of my lips, the sweat beaded
but I keep twisting around
around and around and around.

Good Day
~
Just a little happiness to brighten
the everyday gloom
eating chilied oysters and a little beer
dancing to a beat till the sun rises
sleeping til dark again
basking in the golden light
surrounded by a blue sea
smiling at a inside joke
over a cup of coffee
in the cafe that reminds me of home
taking a picture to remind me 10 years from now
the unexpected kiss, the pressure of your hand
on my back, my hand
a free piece of chocolate
and a street musician singing our song
what a good day.
