We are slowly moving along.
I’m whistling and singing songs.
The early morning ocean is calm.
Dolphins swim by to take a look.
First mate is down below reading her book.
No need for a life of luxury.
This small old sailboat is enough for my woman and me.
I was hurt
To gain advantage
You came running to give me a bandage.
I turned around
You sneaked inside without making a sound.
Filling your pockets
With valuables found
Our eyes met and at that time
I was unaware of the crime.
Lost in a desert paradise
Drinking Australian wine
Snuggling together
In our pharaoh sized bed
Covered with soft Egyptian cotton sheets
We spent the night
Engulfed in ancient history
Half-asleep tree frog
Stuck on my kitchen window
Nonjudgmental friend
May I offer you this extra-large heavy duty trash bag?
You toss away friends like old rags
No thank you needed
Everyone knows you are conceited
Hit the reset button
Stability is a bore
You love me
But
Obviously
Need more
Hit the reset button
Simple life
Has you down
Safe
Always sound
Everything in order
You
Desperately
Crave
Continuous disorder
Hit the reset button
Danger
Turns you on
Swim away
My beautiful swan
Compose
A new song
Hit the reset button
You look at everything
As a winner takes all competition
Compromise
Much less frustration
Give it a try
Relationships
Would not become
Permanent goodbyes
Watching the water
Run down the drain
I understand your pain
Drop the bum
Move on
Go have some fun
Grab your backpack
Hop on a jet
Southeast Asia
Is
An exotic place
To hang out
And
Forget
Soon
You
Will be laughing again
Fresh
Happy
Wiser
Starting over
Without him
You’re irritated
I know that you are
May I offer you a chocolate bar?
Yes
Life is unfair
However
There is no need to despair
Bad luck comes and goes
At least you have beautiful toes
You say I’m a clown
Who only plays around
Come over here
Take my hand
I’m going to set you free
and
Whisk us off to a secretive magical land
Forty years ago
The decades just come and go
My father and me
Fishing in Florida Keys
Casting lines shooting the breeze
Dust balls on the floor
Reminds her of dreams no more
Life now one big chore
Anyone can be your friend.
The question is what do they want and how much do they pretend?
When everything is fine
Friendship is like a greased wheel that runs smooth
All is jake until the dam breaks
Then who sticks
and
Who sneaks out the back gate?
Crumbs on table
Long ago became stale
Drinking cold coffee
Flip a coin to see who will leave
You take take when I just please
We are alone
Late-night in Atlantic Ocean
Love no longer torn
Polished marble floor
We danced tango once more
Then left separate doors
Serpents circling
Back to back swords in our hands
Together to end
Break from internet
Making love on waterbed
Made some time for us
Boy and his father
Walking across the field
Bonding for lifetime
She’s a good woman
No tricks lies fooling around
Hangs tight when chips down
Sprinkling tear-drops
Continuity is lost
Cold like winter frost
I’m a block of ice
That you pulverize
With your pick and sledgehammer
Without loyalty
No relationship
Will be able to endure
Wind swept salty beach
The boy and father bond while
casting lines in sea
Please do not be hurt
Your work is better than mine
I just played the game
