Just thought I would drop a note
to say hello to anyone who might read this
However, sometimes it feels like I am talking to the ocean
and no one is talking back
I wish I could treat my blog
like a bottle with a note for my tribe
I am right here trying to write
all the right things, where are all of you
The internet contains a special type of silence
when no one seems to read
or need to hear anything I have to say
One big blank electronic paper
and a sea of unviewed ink.

For Cat
Where do the moments go
when I remember you softly
as if trying to catch and frame snowflakes
Before its too late
Where does my fate go
when all I know are the past days
the glory phase
of my life, with you
How is it that I
can only see your eyes
most beautiful when in surprise
or when delighted in laughter
What will be the measure
of a life held in the leisure
of simply recalling
all of the befalling
you ever did with me
Why is it
I can't go on without you
as if some part of me
once held you
too perfectly
when I remember you softly
as if trying to catch and frame snowflakes
Before its too late
Where does my fate go
when all I know are the past days
the glory phase
of my life, with you
How is it that I
can only see your eyes
most beautiful when in surprise
or when delighted in laughter
What will be the measure
of a life held in the leisure
of simply recalling
all of the befalling
you ever did with me
Why is it
I can't go on without you
as if some part of me
once held you
too perfectly

Oh Well
Oh well, the unexpected hell
of losing you to something
Like you not being you, no more
You say, hey it's just my parade
my purere of use to be and look out now
How proud you sound
What confidence you've found
in the life of living wholly above ground
or above board, or whatever passes for fair
these days.
Well then here's to you
in All your new
and may you be blessed
here and forever
where ever your shadow
should find you
I just wished
that the old you
had said
goodbye
of losing you to something
Like you not being you, no more
You say, hey it's just my parade
my purere of use to be and look out now
How proud you sound
What confidence you've found
in the life of living wholly above ground
or above board, or whatever passes for fair
these days.
Well then here's to you
in All your new
and may you be blessed
here and forever
where ever your shadow
should find you
I just wished
that the old you
had said
goodbye

Duet
I can not hold any more sunshine
then my eyes can carry
or hold more memories
then my hands
can leaf through
The future will not tell me
which street to turn down
If I should quicken or slow my step
Stop or run full out
I need a coffee that needs me back
a doughnut that does not protest its fate
as I taste it, nibble it, gobble it slowly
The wind off the sidewalk
sings to me songs of the street
The day moves through me
while on its way to dream
then my eyes can carry
or hold more memories
then my hands
can leaf through
The future will not tell me
which street to turn down
If I should quicken or slow my step
Stop or run full out
I need a coffee that needs me back
a doughnut that does not protest its fate
as I taste it, nibble it, gobble it slowly
The wind off the sidewalk
sings to me songs of the street
The day moves through me
while on its way to dream

I wonder
I wonder if the dreaming is worth it
If hope is not a drowning man's wish
for more then just a shore
I wonder if the flowers care that I walk by
on my way to some vague promise I signed
with my words
The silence of my phone
Reminding me, I am alone
Yet another ciggerette
Yet another regret
What gets me, I will never know
the why of wither I stay
or go
when sleep is really
the only peace
If hope is not a drowning man's wish
for more then just a shore
I wonder if the flowers care that I walk by
on my way to some vague promise I signed
with my words
The silence of my phone
Reminding me, I am alone
Yet another ciggerette
Yet another regret
What gets me, I will never know
the why of wither I stay
or go
when sleep is really
the only peace

I miss the smile that so delights
I miss the smile
that so delights my soul
As often as does a wish
I harbour all your memories
in the safe haven of my denials
On days like today
when the sun is full and hot
I reach in there and pull out a picture
of perfect past tense.
It is of you and you are smiling
My future is so dependant
on how I view the past
How best to fill the void
of life without you.
