I Was Poorly Clad

I had a foot that itched so much I scratched it till it bled.
I danced upon the concrete floor then fell down on my head.
I laughed and laughed as blood spilled from the wound that I now had,
The doctors came but I refused 'cause I was poorly clad,
to have a pill or have a stitch in that wound upon my head.

A Hard Place and a Rock Between

Driving down the road - with no where left to go
The signs say stop ahead, but I cannot go slow.
How far I'll go is still unseen.
A hard place and a rock between,
am I and you and we as well.
I'm living life, as you can tell.
And through these bumpy roads I blaze,
A trail now to better days.

Purpose or a Reason

Around the corner and up the hill,
then all at once I'm standing still,
am I too late or just in time?
Have I got so far behind?
Too late for this, too soon for that,
Back and forth and tit for tat.
Without a purpose or a reason,
I will begin and end this season.

Happy Thoughts

Okay, so I'm tired, I'm broke.
What more can I say.
Tomorrow will be here too soon.
Another crappy day.

I'll get up and go to work
But only to pay the bills
What fun and what joy this brings
Life's so full of thrills.

Sure, I could think happy thoughts
and believe me I have tried.
On more than one occassion
have I wished that I had died.

Enough with that there's work to do
another day ahead.
There'll be time for thoughts of death
when truly I am dead.

Fall

Green leaves turn yellow and soon will fall as they turn to brown,
Hot days of summer give way to frost upon the ground,
So grab your coats and grab your hats because it is that time once more,
The time when days grow short and darkness comes quick to knock upon your door.

Just One Place in Just One Time

Sliding slowly down the slope we go,
the trip of life, of love and hope.
Our hands stretched out but do not touch,
the golden light inside of us.
For most of us who live and breath,
The universe cannot conceive.
So trapped are we,
we slowly slide.
But soon we see and can define,
that faster still we slowly fade.
We'll lay inside our lonely grave.
For most of us, as time will find,
within our minds we are confined,
to just one place in just one time.

Beauty of Oblivion

I am asleep,
I am awake,
I am the sun, moon and stars.
I close my eyes,
and there I see,
the beauty of oblivion.
I reflect,
and then I scream,
Is this life or just a dream?
