Doggy Paddle


Doggy Paddle

Will you be with me forever
Let me pour your lips sips of wine
And light your joints of only the best
Kind
Would you accept me barefoot beside
Smile out of breath at night
I want you there when I die
Like
I need to be near when you cry
Share our headstone
Humbly
Carved out of sandstone
Grow old with me unknowingly
Baby
If you were a mermaid
I’d cut off my legs
A vampire
I’d let you feed on me
And hold you tightly entombed
Every day
Until eternity
If I lost my mind I’d discover it
For you
I would
If you lost your mind I’d lose it
With you
I would
Give me all your pain
I’ll turn it into that beautiful smell
Of dust
On a summer afternoon rain
I want you to hate me when you need to
I need you to want me when you hate to
Indian style in the desert naked
Talking
Laughing
Smiling
Doggypaddle in a mountain lake
Naked
Shivering
Pine gum in our hair – laughing
The thing is, Girl, we live in a world
Gone crazy
Do you see this?
A world of airwaves, oil and aluminum
All cancer causing
All part of the problem
And I’ve done too many situps
Do too many pushups
In the past
I did way too many drugs
To make it here
But I’ve made it
And I’ll make it
Nights alone beside
Your nights
Just for a chance to share a night unalone
Isn’t that what life’s about
Spending the nights
Unalone
What else is there , Beautiful
The thing is, Girl. I’m crazy
Can you feel this
Become accustomed
To this
Forgot how to miss
The thing is – I love you
But the water’s deep
And I’m drowning
Without you

Four Walls

Four Walls

Al this I’ve said
Where would it go to
Without you to say it to
Where does all that
I never find someone to say it to
Go to
Without you
I’d be lost without you
All these lives here spent
With no one to go to
To just know you
Knowing you
Gives my thoughts somewhere to go to
Someone to say I Love You to
Too
I’m lost without you
And I don’t even know you
Knowing you without ever
Meeting you
Wanting you without ever once
Having you
Missing you though I’ve just written
To you
To think of you
During everything I do
Makes my days sweeter
Just knowing you
All these things I’ve said
Where would they go to
Without you
