All the lines that fell from your mouth have become my favorite quotes,
and I've honored them each secretly on heart-shaped post-it notes.
Today I went to the store and on sale were chips,
then I went to the dog groomer and paid more in tips.
notes rise like gulls from a polluted beach, connecting air sky water like synapses, drifting down again to rest on their laureates.
They were once forgotten,
But now remembered.
do not divulge our guest
of this evening's concert lest
my boyfriend gets wind
of the treat contained in
as poetry is something he detests
I saw you in a glance
I hope that we'll leave the rest to chance
Sheep require one dog to herd them, but lands of celebrity require many sheep to herd one top dog.
flow charts flow but don't go... anywhere.
politicians corrupt air filled with billboards
Big party
getting bigger
an accelebration
Ah to savor the beauty of mathematical rhythms echoing off the walls; voices singing their own visual equivalents.
A tasty bit of tunes,
We listen and we enjoy,
In the Concert Hall.
I spend my days wondering why I don't get a job
a lifetime passed
the only lesson learned in lament
a commoner to most, to me the immortal queen
the coy look of the sweetest fruit on branch, yearning for welcoming lips.
a deep chest of the purest gold, aching to release the mystery inside.
one day there could be peace, a random chance of fortune floated in your path, but the struggle stays, others succeed and you think to youreself.
and she thinks the same question yet as you do now.
i want to win
so i will try.
with a grin
so i wont cry.
to make a rhyme,
so those tix are mine !
