If I could write
a song for you,
I’d fill it full
of fluff and fun.
...
Your palm rests only upon my cheek
As salve upon my heart runs deep.
Your fingers run just through my hair,
Yet yearnings arise to keep them there.
...
The path I walk is a muddy one,
Far from the congested highway,
Without green signs and the flashing lights,
It’s charm lies within its few stones.
...
The swells of my heart
Rise up to the God
Of the heavens
Who reached down to me,
...
My heart’s a fast talker
When it comes to my guy.
So I sit and do listen
To it’s uncanny replies
...
a song of testimony and invitation
It wasn’t until I needed so much,
It wasn’t until I fell,
...
On the corner of Phone and Phone I stand
Wond’ring: does help live at the other end?
With nowhere to turn and no dime to spend,
I guess I have fences I need to mend.
...
There must be more than ten thousand words
From which to choose my song
But because of who you are my dear
My song is not real long.
...
White clouds are beautiful;
Gray is hard to bear.
Dark clouds are menacing;
But gray, well,
...
a song for Mama
The sun's early rays
awakened her eyes;
...
Of money, credit, or coin
for giving, getting, or guarding
evaluate
the Coldness of the heart.
...
A flame has been kindled
Again in my heart
That had ceased to believe
That lovers don’t part.
...
I see it ahead
just beyond the trees
The light filters more brightly
the closer I get.
...
DIRECTED TO those responsible for pump prices
They tax the gas;
They tax the bread;
...
I thought the darkness
would be cold,
But found that blindness
has been gold.
...
Whitewashed
pointy plank pickets
aligned along
a long line
...

If I Could Write A Song For You
If I could write
a song for you,
I’d fill it full
of fluff and fun.
I’d stuff it with
the softest bear,
a playful thing
I do declare.
The core would be
of brightest sun,
the smile you give
to me bar none.
Its arms would reach
beyond their stretch
to hug and warm
your heart to catch.
I’d fill it with
the freshest air
of park and lake
that day so fair.
For you, my dear,
are just the one
who felt me when
so much was wrong.
I’d fill it with
the trust and hope
you gave to me
to help me cope.
Alas, this song
cannot contain
the truth of how
my feelings changed.
A single call
from you to me
I’m sure will let
this song to be.
