I wish that I was wise enough
to know a deed or a simple word
to undo and unwind what I have said
and who I have been up until this point
...
Hey young September
you're growing old way too quick
I remember smell of salt
lying with her on the beach
...
Deep in your lungs
I can hear wild horses
Herded for the night
To catch some rest
...
Dear Love
If you ever feel like crying
take a deep breath and stop
...
I was walking barefoot
On the ocean bed
Strewn with broken bottles
Warmed by my hands
...
in the land of first impressions I wouldn't stand much chance,
for the DNA I inherited is oh so moderate
moderately intelligent,
I am traveled moderately well,
...
strange indeed
how incrementally it all changes
strange indeed
how incrementally a thing can break
...
yes it's true
I cheer every time our troops kill a man in a land far away
we nod our heads in a drunk unison:
'that man was guilty as hell! '
...
The far end of this wire
Will hopefully be
Right where you put your head
To sleep
...
'wish I could just close my eyes
and make it all go away'
she said over a cup of coffee
looking at her pregnancy test
...
there's a weakness in me, but I'm willing to fight it)
Yearning
I wish that I was wise enough
to know a deed or a simple word
to undo and unwind what I have said
and who I have been up until this point
I wish redemption was a nursery rhyme
the kind you learn as a child
and forgiveness was something your withered heart
could never live without
yet all I know is that I have no clue
how a man should start trying
to change his ways before he faces
the inevitability of dying
well, blind I will force my lazy feet
to move down cobbled streets
deaf I will force my tardy soul
to fight and persevere
for light that you have shown me oft
and shared with me daily
though dimmed by my crippled mind
is the light that I'm still yearning
