You and I both understand how it is
For we are both free spirits
Too much akin
That being kept in a more
Pronounced manner--
There is really more to be unsaid
From beneath the surface, and
I delight in being the
Unnamed one
As you probably do, too--
Would seem too unsettling...
But, my dear,
No one, yet, has given me
That look...
You can rightfully say
I've yet to see more,
But your eyes, each time, still
Become those of a lamb's.
Can't I be the sun?
'Cause I burn like him at my core,
And with you far away
I just wish to get to you
At the speed of light
Since words sometimes are not enough.
But they are all I have.
For now, they're all I have.
But anyway,
I'm sun-kissed rosey these days
For I've been bathing in these
Late golden afternoons.
He wished he was the sun.
I stopped there and smiled,
Thinking "Don't you know he's you?"

Grey Bear, Dear Panther
Grey Bear, Dear Panther,
Here's a sick girl before you.
She's been struck down again
By some foolish yellow light.
Well, it was a pretty sight...
Though that's all it should be.
Couldn't leave it at that
So I end up like this.
Good thing, though, that
I got my coffee for free
'Cause I have just been
Sucked out of it dry.
And now I'm a sparrow
Aiming ultrasonic spikes.
Can you hear me? Can you hear?
I'm not as strong as I appear...
This place is too small even for someone like me
Can't be alone when I need to be
'Cause everybody knows my name
And isn't that insane?
Home's calling for me though it hasn't been long
Swiftly gliding on wings of songs
From my hometown especially the street I've outgrown
Sleepy town, with you, there's really something wrong
And that's me
I think the sun sets too soon over here
I just cannot be
Days have months outdone
And thoughts of going home
They keep me going on and on and on
In sleepy town
Boy, Arden,
For a spirit,
You seem quite cold.
Such a shame,
That tiny frame,
What your pictures show.
This thing,
You've outgrown,
Which you never outsized.
Don't throw it, don't throw
It, don't throw your
Red, red bow.
It used to be just Rose--
Graciously, she bows
For time has been so kind.
Blossom's on the way,
Smiling in the sun.
It's her turn now to play.
She grows young again
As the days roll by,
And her tenderness swells.
It melts the ice.
For love is in the air--
It sings true
And she breathes.
For now, there's you
And what joy you bring.
You and I both understand how it is
For we are both free spirits

The coloratura bent the first note.
Telephone lines sagged like taffy
and slowly felled their poles.
The page misted; she paused
a serpent's blink. Cell towers
sank in bogsand. She trilled
and satellites quit their orbits;
some grew comet plumage.
Her last note thinned to silence.
Hello? Is anybody there?

Uncle Holland's Epic
Last night I was a stranger in a foreign land; a bandit with a steak knife tried to steal my hand, and sell it on the market for a buck a pound. All I did was laugh and start to look around until I found a rock shaped like a loaf of bread and calmly placed it deep inside the bandit's head. The bandit dropped his knife like it was molten lead and went to prance and spin next to the flower bed.
Tonight I am a pirate on a cargo ship with no idea who brought me on this pointless trip. A sailsman once had asked me if I needed sales; I curled up all my fingers and I broke his lip.
A month ago I ate a turkey and a chair while sleeping in the warm
Got me wearing a bloody rose behind my ear
Among so many other foolish things,
But I'm still one bland señorita
And that's after his shots of tequila.
I'm another brand of some potion that's
Got no spice, cold as ice.
That's what it's like,
Shun by Spanish eyes.
Then a little birdy spills stuff
At the barroom on the dashing señor.
Thank goodness he's not taking that
Mumbo jumbo to the station!
Can I shoot the birdy? Oh, yes. I, too, can
Fire her to hell with her lies!
See if I'm still
Shun by Spanish eyes.
I'm moving to Tales of Twyla talesoftwyla.livejournal.com and will no longer be posting my writings here...
I had fun watching all your artworks, and I also want to thank those special people who have given me a voice. You encourage me to write and sing. Thanks. <3
