the pitter patter of small feet matter
the unborn child, the bag of splatter
in the dumpster behind the clinic
a world unwanted, another cynic
saved from countless years of worry
no birthday candle snowflake flurry
pacified within the distance
choose the path of least resistance
one orgasm never fathered
one life lost, one more unbothered

alphabetically out of line
fall somewhere between
rock the boat with truthfulness
then fabricate serene

spend precious time and effort
to fix what is not broken
or be the voice without a face
anonymously outspoken

poem: i remember the first time
Posted: 12/26/2008 9:55:20 AM
as the moonlight dances
upon the curves of your torso
and the stars began to settle
in the acquiesce of your stare
you arouse me

the windswept beauty of auburn hair
encompassing the warmest smile
the beating of my heart
drowns out the crickets' din

and in that very moment
as our skins collide for the first time
i realize that i am home

Something for all of you to think over
Posted: 12/26/2008 8:52:21 AM
There's a difference between giving up and letting go. As humans, we've each been afforded a will of our own. To deny another that freedom does little more than breed resentment in them, as well as a false sense of security in one's self.

How about girls that post aerial shots of their cleavage, along with the line "if you're seeking cheap thrills, move on"? As though "free" somehow doesn't equate to "cheap". Sorry, toots. Had I known that I could make you feel like less of an e-ho, just by paying you ... trust me, I would have.

One of mine is long walks on the beach. From people who live in Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississsippi, and other land locked areas.

To be fair, they did specify LONG walks ...

And It Shook Me (Graham Parker)
Posted: 12/21/2008 7:28:54 AM
And it shook me
It shook me up, it shook me up, yeah

I remember the way you looked when we first met
There are some things in this world you can't forget
You were standing underneath the light
I lost my heart, it felt all right
And it shook me
And I'm still shaking now

I remember rainy nights I thought I'd drown
Was it London, New York, Paris or Amsterdam?
I forget the details, now I must admit
But you were there through all of it
And it shook me
And I'm still shaking now

Will you hold on and hope our grip don't fail?
Sometimes lovers hammer in their own coffin nails
I just read how universes start
Continually they're blow apart
And it shook me
And I'm still shaking now

Some believe in a Heaven up above
With a God that forgives all with His great love
Well I forgive you if you forgive me, hey
Who needs a third party anyway?
And it shook me
And I'm still shaking now

Shake me again, baby
Shake me again, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Pick anyone famous and give 'em the ol' Irish AABBA treatment.

There once was actor named Cruise
Who caused quite a stir in the news
Appearing on Oprah
He jumped on her sofa
And shared his strange personal views.

The Old Apartment (Barenaked Ladies)
Posted: 12/17/2008 2:14:33 PM
Words & music by Steven Page & Ed Robertson

Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken glass, broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live

Why did you paint the walls?
Why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
This is where we used to live

Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
These things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want them back

Broke into the old apartment
Forty-two stairs from the street
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
Narrow laneway filled with crooks.
This is where we used to live.

Why did they pave the lawn?
Why did they change the locks?
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live

How is the neighbor downstairs?
How is her temper this year?
I turned up your tv and stomped on the floor just for fun
I know we don't live here anymore
We bought an old house on the Danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
Im happy here
But this is where we used to live

Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux

I want them back
I want them back

Beautiful - Gordon Lightfoot
Posted: 12/16/2008 5:20:12 PM
At times I just don't know
How you could be anything but beautiful
I think that I was made for you
And you were made for me

And I know that I won't ever change
We've been friends through rain or shine
For such a long, long time

Laughing eyes and smiling face
It seems so lucky just to have the right
Of telling you with all my might
You're beautiful tonight

And I know that you won't ever stray
Cause you've been that way from day to day
For such a long, long time

And when you hold me tight
How could life be anything but beautiful
I think that I was made for you
And you were made for me

And I know that I won't ever change
We've been friends through rain or shine
For such a long, long time

Well, I must say it means so much to me
To be the one who's telling you
I'm telling you, that you're beautiful.
