Sunday Afternoon Storm

The wind bent thirsty trees.
I heard them calling out to the blackened Sun.
They creaked and cracked...
laughing and waving their leaves to catch every drop that fell.

They're still whispering to each other quenched in the drizzle.
It's raining in huge lazy drops...
marching down my mirroring street in a parade.
Spectating streams flow and follow along.

Here it comes again... Oak and Maple standing tall.
Dried up rose petals take a fall.
Buds ready to burst...
the rain has quenched their thirst.

The Storm

The evening is all better now.
It came over my house...
that big black cloud and
the thunder so loud!

Even though it's still raining
tomorrow will be here again.
I'll be outside and happy
enjoying what I'm allowed.

G+G=A #3

Selfish people will go out of their way to make more shit up to prove they didn't need you after they've gone out of their way to make good use of you.

Take It Easy

It's sunny and 82.
I'm here thinking of you.
I can hear my laundry churning
and there's still that yearning.

Tomorrow will be 93.
That's OK with me.
No it's not.
I almost forgot.

It's not so bad being alone...
just have to turn off the phone.
I'll lend and ear and
wish you were here.

Father's Day could be easy
as long as it's a little breezy.
It's not about what I or you did...
I just hope it's not hot and humid.

D Day

Hi Dad.
It's not yet your Birthday, June 16th... it's not your's and Mom's Anniversary, not yet, June 17th and it's not Fathers Day, June 20th... no not yet.

It's June 6th... and 66 years ago I know you were dealing with some really serious things. Thank you for making it home to Mom and being a part of giving me life.

In Need, Indeed

Too many days without a friend...
missing what we used to spend.
It's no big deal being alone.
I could call you on the phone.

I think I just live my life
and you do the same...
between us there's no claim.
It's just how we survive.

If we lived on the same block
you'd be working over there
and I'd be working over here
doing stuff, watching the clock.

The summer nights spent
hanging out with the group...
from driving in our cars
or just sitting on the stoop.

It's a really cool thing
to have you as my friend...
kind of missing you now,
moments we could spend.

I'll Let You Know

In the morning I'd see you go...
watched you have a cup and
do your face... sitting there...
"Hot in here", doing your hair.

So many times I'd just want
to stretch you across the table.
"...have your way with me."
Tell me how much you want me.
Take it, take me as much as I'm able

Send you off to work .
Take me off too!
All of me!
Take me off!!... and
off to work with you.

I didn't want to say goodbye then.
Why do I have to say it now?
You still go where you go.
I've lost track of where you've been.

You look at me bad... you're mad.
I'm the worst you've ever had.
I make you so sad... so you say.
I'm the worst... you've ever had.
You've had enough...
I've been had enough.

Now it's done! Go have some fun.
Peace, love and all that.
Everything with you is always very good.

Hey stuck up! I'm still stuck on you.
And in case you haven't heard...
It's not over till I'm over you.

Lady on the table... stuck on you
Take it, take me as much as I'm able
Take part of me, take it from me...
off to work with you again.
Take me off... and off to work with you!
I can dream all I want... because
It ain't over till I'm over you.

I live here too.
It ain't over
Till I say so...
till I'm over
Once again,
Over and over
And when I'm good and ready
I'll take off and take you off my list
I'm not done yet... I'll let you know!
I know it sucks. It's sucks for me too.
It's not over til I'm diddly done over you.
