Sam Pete

Agnes, I haven’t seen
A rose blossom
As it has just now
...

I want to be a shepherd
Raise flocks of sheep
I want to be a fisherman
Catch hauls of fish like the noble Pete
...

Just as everybody does
Every once in a while
As we make our way through
Our own queer vicissitudes of life
...

I feel a tug in somewhere deep inside
Its that cherub
With her smiling face,
Twinkling eyes
...

Why insecure, my bonny lass
Why it’s the moment of rapture true
Time of recollection -
Beauty that ne'er was
...

If in me you find the warmth you do,
And I find myself in you,
Then why be two
When one will do
...

There are forty-two
Taking my test on Shakespeare
...

He’s done it again
Seems like he’ll never stop

Didn't I tell him -
...

There’s poetry in everything
In all the earth and sea
You have to just stop and see.
...

Writer, convict, thief!
Who gave you permission
Answer me,
To steal my possession?
...

Like a bee
I buzz

Whirl and whirl
...

We are what we're made to be
There's a purpose beneath
All the heavens
Being worked out here.
...

Oh, reason not the need
Why I need so to go away
From a good place, a decent pay?
I have this throbbing alway
...

Why do you men
Want to listen to gossip
When you can build up the courage
To come over and ask me straight?
...

When love is in the air
The moon's a perfect crescent
The stars are bright and clear
The birds go chirping
...

I’ve often thought
They bring before
A hundred girls -
...

Will someone help a blind man home
He’s lost himself in someone else

Eyes no more to see
...

I like to watch the clouds,
The sky, the stars,
The rainbow still
And hope one day
...
