"There is no instinct like that of the heart" - Lord Byron

 


 

I Hate The Fates

whack-a-doodles,
who do they think they are?
they bring my Ex
to my new haunt.
there she is in stiletto heels,
sassy sequins
and a black hat.

I’ll bet she still wears Canoe
and lacquers her lips
with Diore Rouge.
she's still a star and knows it.
is she going to be the resident fox?

my thoughts tangle up.
I'll need more than black
coffee or a drink.
my feet are sinking.
oh my dear knees,
please don't fail me.

those higher ups,
those whack-a-doodles
who do they think they are.
why don't they get a puppy
or learn to play the piano
and leave us humans alone?

I'll Love You Till

sharks jump
out of the water, dance
and tell me what life is like  
beneath the seas.
crooks return all they stole,
and you and I
never have to do laundry again.
so hang on
for a wild ride
in this small and beautiful world
on the wheels of a great love.

   heart
