What happened?

What happened to your heart honey?
Did life just get too tough?
Did you forget to listen
When things got a little rough

What happened to our love baby?
Did it sink without a trace?
Did you think you wouldn't need it
When you couldn't find it a place

What happened to your soul sweetheart?
Did you just lose your way?
Did you think you had the answers
Or did all your questions go astray

I think of you - Rodriguez

trouble with my smile

I've been having trouble with my smile
it's been missing now for quite a while
been taking issue with my heart
feels like it all just fell apart
been hearing voices in my ears
sometimes reduces me to tears
been holding on to all the pain
seems the past is filled with rain
looking for new seeds to sow
hoping that some love will grow...

don't let go

come and meet me in that time and space
where you and I are always lovers
I can feel your breath upon my face
as we slide beneath the satin covers

hold me tight
don't let go
it's alright
we both know
we don't have to be apart
we can wait it out instead
and let the angels in our hearts
defeat the demons in our heads

The wonderful Charles Bukowski - with thanks to Mark

“I only want sweet peace and kindliness when I awaken - but there's always some finger pointing, telling me some terrible deed I committed during the night. It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.”
― Charles Bukowski

trying to get Leo into the car when he didn't want to go

Zach thought this was hilarious!

you did

We were heaven scent
on a highway to hell
and you didn't mean to want me
but you did

So you kissed me once
then you kissed me twice
and you didn't mean to love me
but you did

You made new plans
walked a different path
and you didn't mean to hurt me
but you did

Our lives got so rough
the times got too tough
and you didn't mean to lose me
but you did

The weeks turned to years
nights turned into tears
and you didn't mean to miss me
but you did

We were heaven sent
it was so evident
that you didn't mean to want me
didn't mean to miss me
didn't mean to love me

..........but you did

Zeugma

If I ever let loose for a second
with the awesome power I own
it'd blow all the wind from your sails
and your mind right out of the zone

If I ever let loose for a second
with the awesome anger I feel
it would tear a hole in the universe
that a river of tears couldn't heal

If I ever let loose for a second
with the awesome love that I hold
it would light up the darkness forever
and a flame in your heart that shone gold
