Perhaps all we have to do
Is just to build this dream
Is to live by this illusion
To dream our dream of love
To have more than we have now
To need each other as no one before
That's . . . more

You gave me 10 stars for good behavior,
(but I really wasn't so good)
It didn't take long for me to learn
how to move,
how to cry,
how to smile,
how to fly
far far away from my . . . more

For years I heard a promising voice,
More than a figment of my imagination,
My mind’s magnificent creation,
There was hope in the voice,
That some day,

My Heart
I cannot
believe
that I am
here
without you.
For years
this house
has been
our home.
But
you are
gone
now.
And it's . . . more

Granada breathes out its burnt roses at dusk.
I think about the child I don´t have,
the children we won´t raise,

All winter long I've been so cold.
My feet nearly freeze since I got old.
I get bundled up and jump into bed.
But the sheets are so cold, it's something I dread.
My heating pad quit, so what . . . more

I'm just happy again with my self
I just need to be careful
To not say too much
About my future plans
Because I don't want another war today
So, I'm living in silence
But it's OK . . . more

So you don't want this
In real
All it was
Nothing but dream
Once again
I was naive
It's all right too
I can understand you
It was just a dream
And it's time to wake up
Again

My purse hollow
My arms scrawny
My taste buds sour
My mouth deflated
My hunger gnawing
My sight poor with desperation
His wallet thick with judgment
His biceps bulge with burdens
His tongue . . . more

Your hands nest in your lap like doves
music of your laughter soars like a sparrow
rising to its home beneath the eaves of spring
Can I ever seek another land?

Looking over the city
The lights winked in the distance.
We sat on the hood of his car.
I don't even remember what model,
But I remember . . .
I shivered;

This cut is too deep,
much deeper than the ones before;
This heart has lost its beat
one too many times;
The rhythm is gone, and
nothing can repair it.
Blood seeps through,
dotting the . . . more

If you say love
I'll jump through a hoop
If you say love love
I'll loop the loop
If you say love love love
I'll be cock of the hoop
I always thought nothing could be worse
Than writing love . . . more

He sprinkled in some gold dust because you would . . . more

Mesmerized by music transmitted
captivated by your promises
speculative about your intention
and gender.
Eager to know more
thirsty to consume you
ravenous for colloquy.
