Warm Houses

WARM HOUSES

There’s a house

deep inside the woods

Where you and I

Can live out our days

Constantly amazed, that we found each other

Mental Floss

MENTAL FLOSS

c.march.2008

THERE’S SOMETHING STUCK IN MY MIND
EVERY WAKING MOMENT AND AT NIGHT…
I FEEL IT
AND IT ANNOYS ME EVERYDAY
LIKE SOME FOOD STUCK IN MY TEETH
EVERY TIME YOUR TONGUE
GLIDES ACROSS AND MEETS
IT INTERFERES AND WON’T GO AWAY
…
SO WHEN YOU FIND
YOU CAN’T GRASP
THAT PEACE OF MIND
I’VE FOUND SOMETHING THAT WILL WORK
I’LL GIVE YOU SOME FLOSS
TO HELP YOU LOOSEN AND TOSS
THAT THOUGHT THAT
KEEPS GETTING IN YOUR WAY
…

Reflections

Like a glance in a lake

I see my face

like the ugly duckling

for the first time

Like a baby’s smile unlined no guile

I see myself like it’s for the first time

When I’m with you I’m finally free of the doubts that hold me back…  relaxed.
My deepest longings are fulfilled in truth.

I see my sweetest reflections in you.
