I thought I was on a cruise ship

I thought I was on a cruise ship.
Turned out to be the Titanic.
At first the waters seemed clear.
Then they went all rocky.

I got so sea sick.
I lost my bearings.
I threw up my insides.
I missed the firmament.

I'm still shaken from the ocean's roar.
You have no idea how she rang my bell.
A pleasure cruise turned into hell.
Nature is a bitch.

The fickle tides of fate.
Her love turned to hate.
She did such a number on me.
Wish I'd never sailed that sea.

Look for the value proposition

Look for the value proposition.
If you don't get what you want,
Just keep on fishin'.
It is not all about money.

Value is deeper than money.
Know what I'm saying honey?
Value defines us kind of like our soul
It is the greatest part of our whole.

Value is abstract.
It's not simple math.
Value is deep.
Money is cheap.

Look for the value proposition.
Make it your mission.
It's the hardest lesson.
It's the greatest blessing.

I need a parachute

I need a parachute.
Oh my God I'm falling!
I need a parachute.
Things she did just don't compute.

I need a parachute.
I need an absolute.
I need to be understood.
That girl is no good.

I need a parachute.
I never thought she would let me down.
I never thought she would make me a clown.
I never thought she would do me harm.

I need a parachute.
I'm in the wild blue yonder.
With too many things to ponder.
I need a parachute.

I need a parachute.
I thought we had a baring of souls.
But hers was on cruise control.
I need a parachute.

Disappointed is the new norm

Disappointed is the new norm.
No one is angry enough.
No one really has passion.
We just hope the party won't be a total disaster.


Everyone is disappointed.
Yeah let's just get over it.
If we can't make our world better,
We should stop complaining.


I know that our nation has sunk to a new low.
It feels we are falling into a bottomless hole.
I have a really strong beef with out current chief.
Please please God give us some relief!

But let's not be resigned.
Let's be grateful for the good we find.
Let's be grateful for the food we eat.
Let's be grateful for the place we sleep.

Disappointed is the new norm.
All hopes and aspirations still-born.
Dear God we want to feel inspired.
But we seem to have lost the fire.

Purge

I have way too much.
It is overwhelming.
So much I don't need.
But I always need to feed.

I want it all.
I want it so bad.
I want to not feel it so.
I want to let it go.

Most people do no not have the strength.
Most people do not care that much.
Most people are not inclined
To get into the depth and the heart.

We always want what we don't have.
That does not make us bad.
It makes us human.
I will always keep searching.


 

Poem for the New Year

I need a clean-me-out colonic.
I need to be super-sonic.
I need to be free from static cling.
I need to be everything.

I need to make the world better.
I need to not be tethered.
I need to feel there is a reason.
But I'm too sensitive to stop believing.

I need an adventure.
I need to get her.
I need security.
Though I am comfortable with being me.

I need to get my head examined.
I need to not give a damn n',
I need to put it all on paper.
Before it all becomes vapor.

We should be in the same time zone
We should be in the same zip code.
Long distance relationship is a heavy load.
We can't make love through the telephone.

We should be in the same bed.
Everything we have ever said
Is all in our heads.
Are you ready to be my water and my bread?

We should be together.
We should be touching and holding.
We should be beholding.
We are separate and time keeps unfolding.

We are in a holding pattern.
Our flight has not touched down.
Do you want me to keep a frown?
Do you want me to be your clown?
