the road to nowhere

there's a stranger
living in my heart
and i didn't even catch the brother's name
it's strange..
he's cold
takes my breath away
steals the joy from my day
yet i want him to stay
it's strange...
he changes shape
everyday, leaving a footprint i don't recognize but
he has the sweetest brown eyes
it's strange..
he boils in my blood
makes me see red
but i do quite miss having him in my bed
it's strange..

joy

how great it would be
if we lived in Disney land
with the seven dwarfs
and peter pan

and all the colours
of the rainbow
and you were black
and me, white as snow

and we visited
the man on the moon
or lived inside
our own cocoon

oh how fun it would be
if we could deep sea dive
and find magical wonders
on rodeo drive

oh wonderful it would be
if we could all sleep for a time
and awake in the morning
in a nursery rhyme.

i'm in here

stand in line
till your name's called
jump in the sand
barefoot and bald

jump up and down
till they notice you
question not the love
but what they do

scream inside
the quiet zone
when the coffee's made
and the afternoon scones

the rum-bl-ings of
a stomach that can't be full
and the sighing of
the sorrowful.

monkey town

there's a stranger living in my heart
and she's made me quite cold
she's searching for something
her little hands can't hold

she wants what she wants
when she wants it
stubborn she is
she knows and she flaunts it

i haven't got accustomed
to her attitude
some call her daring
i say she's rude

and she barged right in
to my little body
no letter no warning
no apology

she's searching for something
that she just can't see
lives inside her
already

oh lost little girl
go on with your misery
take your cold hands
off of me.

poem 6

thinking...
where am i?
i feel like i'm stuck
somewhere between reality
and my imagination
i'm frustrated
i'm tired
out of breath
i'm everything
and everyone
i'm sad at times
it's hard being positive these days..
but..enough about me
tell me something about you that i don't know

poem 5

you are a beautiful beautiful woman
dry your eye, lift that head up high
and recognize....oooh child
from your nose to your thighs
back to your wonderful eyes
believe what your heart knows
pride bounces back to those
who try....child, think, sigh
laugh and dream
you are a fabulous human being..
