Poem Eyes
01:02
|

|
Your eyes are like
A #poem to me
The way they look
The things they see
I think that it’s destiny
That we’ve shared a glance
Your heart is like
A record player
Its sentiments
Pure like a prayer
When we talk
You’re my soothsayer
Thank you for this chance
May I have
This dance?

Like A Prism
01:32
|
|||
|
Your mind is like a prism
Every issue, every #schism
Shows a different angle of
Your multifaceted love
Where others would stoop
To bicker and fight
You shine a ray of rainbow light
Though some just add
Their noise pollution
You always offer
A genius solution
Your mind is like a prism
Instead of cynicism
You opt for colorful hope
New beginnings instead
Of end of the rope
You surprise me with your
Brave resilience
The way you turn dark
Into brilliance
I want to sing your many praises
How you overcome
Just amazes

A Tree Of Life
01:38
|

|
Wisteria’s known for its #nectar
And mango for its juice
Arabica’s known for its coffee
Echinacea, its medicinal use
If you were a plant in a garden
You’d be a tree of life
Known for its taste and its potency
You’d make a real good wife
Apples are known for their crispness
Pumpkins for their spice
Roses are known for their fragrance
Strawberry sweetest slice
If you were a plant in a garden
You’d be a tree of life
Known for its healing properties
You’d make a real good wife

Vixen

I’m so in love with you,
Vixen,
That some people think
I need an #exorcism
I’m so in love with you,
Hotcakes,
That some people think
I’ve made a big mistake
But I’m enamored of
Your fiery temperament
I don’t care if you’re
Hell or heaven sent
You’re a sexy hexy devil
A temptress
That’s primeval
I’m so in love with you,
Fury,
That maybe my eyesight’s
Become blurry
I’m so in love with you,
Siren,
That you’ve charged with lust
Every environ

Angel Or Professor
01:58
|
|||
|
You teach me lessons
In #iridescence
Your heart and mind
Oh, how they shine
A hundred million
Watt bulb of brilliance
Every spoken line’s
A marquee sign
Are you an angel or a professor?
A proclaimer or a confessor?
Are you a stripper or a dresser?
One way or another
You make me better
You show me worlds
That you’ve unfurled
You make me see
Opportunity
You fill me up
Like the ocean in a tea cup
You make me look
Like reading a book

Life's Arithmetic
01:52
|
|||
|
We could be each other’s #hero
When we feel useless
Like a zero
Remind each other
How it all adds up
Every little drop of love
Makes an overflowing cup
Our intentions and then actions
The bottom number of our fractions
Is a trillion and then every hour
Our numerator to the hundredth power
We could egg each other on
To make the most of life’s arithmetic
Read that book or write that song
Turn the mundane into terrific

Aching Archive
01:27
|

|
I’m #nostalgic for those days
I see it in a honey-colored haze
Photographs with sun spots and smiles
A time of different dialects and styles
When I loved you for your dated haircut
When everything in my youthful heart
Would shout
I want you always here by my side
But look at how the years
just slid on by
Now all I have are golden memories
And the chance that you still
Look back fondly
The past is half-alive
Though there’s no chance
To revive
I’ve got it in my
Aching archive
I’ve got it in my
Aching archive

I Ain't No Perfectionist
01:42
|
|||
|
I ain’t no #perfectionist
That’s afraid of a car
With a couple of dents
I don’t need no narcissist
That wants to look perfect
Before being kissed
Just be yourself
And all that entails
With the 100 ways that you succeed
The 100 ways you fail
I know myself now well enough
That I don’t need some powder puff
I want a girl with more than makeup
Who sees my weaknesses
(My soul for all that it is)
And doesn’t wanna breakup

20,000 Leagues
00:52
|
|||
|
I wanna remind you, baby
That there’s more to the sea
Than the feeling of turbulence
Or placidity
Yes, the #ocean goes down
Twenty thousand leagues
And the soul’s full of
Wisdom, wonder, and intrigue
I understand the things
That you’re feeling right now
And it’s also important to allow
The surface of things
To affect your mood
But don’t forget your depth
And your core essence exclude

In A Galaxy Of Stars
01:20
|

In a #galaxy of stars
I’ve found my one
Of all the celestial bodies
I’ve found my sun
You make me grow
Like a rain forest
I’m stretching out
Like a willow tree
Your light is my true sustenance
And I’m so glad that you found me
In a galaxy of stars
I’ve found my one
Of all the celestial bodies
I’ve found my sun
You move me with
Your loving ways
Pull on my heart
Like gravity
I’m so glad I’ve found my orbit
And I’m so glad you that found me

A Million Comparisons
01:35
|
|||
|
Our love’s as big as a #dinosaur
And I think that we could
Still have more
We measure it in kisses
And coffee cups
The places we’ve visited
On Triple A maps
Our love’s as long as a semi truck
We’re both so very
Lightning struck
Our conversations last
For months and months
When we’re not all
Sighs and grunts
Our love’s got a million
Comparisons
We’re so in love
It’s embarrassing
Our love’s as deep
As Oscar Wilde
And all of the poems
That we’ve compiled
Could fill up the
New York Public Library
And the Globe Theater
If you add the commentary
Our love’s as bright as a halogen
As ambitious as
Alexander Hamilton
We’ve got a list of to-dos
As lengthy as a marathon
You’re a goddess
And our house is the Parthenon
Our love’s got a million
Comparisons
We’re so in love
It’s embarrassing
|

Like 19th century clipper ships
We’ll #chronicle our many trips
Our adventures so romantic
Over Pacific and Atlantic
We’ll travel from inlet to island
Greet the people we meet
With a big smile and
Explore the local topography
Then write our autobiography
We’ll call it “Rendezvous
On The Seven Seas”
And record all the voyages
Between you and me

Phobias
01:03
|
|||
|
A partner comes in tow
With all their #phobias
It helps you just to know
Love’s no utopia
It’s bearing with each other
When things don’t go as planned
It’s having a pliable heart
And trying to understand
Cause if you can’t trust your partner
Then who can you trust?
Life’s a great adventure
And you need to know
How to adjust

Intelligent Soul
01:49
|
|||
|
I don’t care how we look
In anyone else’s eyes
They can judge us superficially
Or #ostracize
But after many conversations
I think I know what you’re about
I’ve seen the sun inside your heart
And have no shadow
Of a doubt
It takes a committed soul
To dig a little deeper
And with respects to you and me
I think the critics
Are just sleepers
I’ve fallen in love
With your intelligent soul
So when the haters come along
I’ll try to console
|

Love Has Open Eyes
00:57
|
|||
|
Love teaches #charisma
The spirit gives life
But I think it’ll take
A couple years
Before you become my wife
I’ve seen the snakes unwinding
Felt the touch of dawn before
You don’t know what’s
Inside the house
Until you open up the door
They say that love is blind
But love I think has open eyes
I want to know
The ocean’s depths
Before you become my bride

Hacky Sacky
01:03
|
|||
|
Some people need a #sycophant
To exaggerate the power
Of their influence
Some people need a flatterer
To feel like they really matter
I just want a friend
That doesn’t break
But’s willing to bend
A honey that’s eager
To share her heart
Be the horse
As well as the horsedrawn cart
Who gives as much
As she takes
Who offers compliments
That aren’t fake
A lover not a lackey
To play life’s game
Of Hacky sacky

Empathy
02:15
|
|||
|
If you’d go out in a pandemic
To protest for your brother
If you try to understand
The differences
When you meet somebody
Wholly other
If you’d write a 1000 page novel
Just to walk in
Someone else’s shoes
If you think that someone
Across the railroad tracks
Deserves the same
Rights as you
If you have #empathy
You’re the one for me
If you’re skeptical of words
Like “them” and “God”
And “hate” and “self”
If you see a reason to identify
As a witch, a werewolf,
A hobbit, an elf
If you think that anyone
Of any profession
Can have a political
Point of view
If you think that
Somebody with
A smaller paycheck
Is just as important
As you
If you have #empathy
You’re the one for me

At Least At The Start
01:11
|

|
From admired to #anathema
How’d this get so sour?
How’d it go from
Dawn of day
To the midnight hour?
I’m searching myself
With a fine tooth comb
To find out what I’ve done
But I think the real problem
Is that someone else
Has come along
I guess I didn’t hold
The biggest place
Inside your heart
Well, the new guy will have
A love so sweet
At least at the start

Love In A Pandemic
00:54
|

|
While the world around us
Is falling apart
We’re both safe inside
Though the outside world
Is threatening
We’ve found the perfect
Place to hide
Love in a #pandemic
Has been the sweetest
Love I’ve known
While the problem is systemic
We’ve found a solution
All our own
Stay with me
In this sweet hideout
You’ve always been
The one that I’m about

American Xenophobe
00:56
|

|
Like an American #xenophobe
Who’s forgotten history
This distance between us
Remains a mystery
After all that we’ve been through
You doubt my heart
But my aim is true
Darling, let’s come back together
Stretch this starlight
Through the galaxies
And make our light last forever
We’ve already made it
Over seas

Agape Love
02:13
|

|
CH:
Sometimes there’s only one way
There’s no love deeper
Than #agape
If you wanna be remembered
As part of one body
You have to be a member
Of a transcending lobby
If you wanna find a solution
To life’s bigger problems
It takes dissolution
There’re no flowers without pollen
CH
If you wanna find the pearl
It takes an aggravated shell
Sometimes you’ve gotta go
Through a heaven-sent hell
If you wanna know the origin
Of the universe
You’ve gotta learn
What it means to serve first
CH (X2)

Paper Hearts
01:33
|
|||
|
Doodles or calligraphy
Straight lines or a curve
High school diploma or master’s degree
Communicating your heart
Takes real nerve
We have #paper hearts
In a world full of ink
Where fools say things
Before they think
But I’m careful with my words
Know what I speak of
When I scrawl
I give you all
My love
Graffiti or dissertation
Whisper or megaphone
Stream of consciousness
Or narration
Find a way to make it
All your own
