Empty Trees: December 1st

New song. The trees are empty. My love is tired. It's strange here.

24 days to chimney company
Lonely I will be red and green
Family they can leave
Wandering around
Followed by smoke
And stifling chokes
Now that she sits alone
Don't get me wrong
I love company
See this comes and it goes
But 24 days to striking escape
Daysleep until then dear
For company will complain
By preemptive breathing
Distance goes wrong

New song. Make what you will of it.

Got off cheap
Because of the company I keep
As temptation heightens
I distance myself from green
And now the water holds her neck
Recycles her lips many times
What's she about?
I should not keep the rain that kisses her
Fingertips showered with cool mist
Now sea sick
Thoughts diffused with fear
No one touch me!

Are we talking?

Played with the syntax of the English language a bit. Doctored feelings. I'm constantly checking my inbox for you.

The monkey bars are making kids cry
These days, I'm only hanging on for you
The second bar and its faulty squeaks
The pressure hiding from you
Made it pass the flocks
Running to hide the clocks
Honest is only cool when I'm lying to you
I can't keep trying for you
Cause it's making this kid cry
I'm always talking
Persisting to multiply
Now fear has occupied
You know I won't go
Marching next in line
One day I'll have kids just like you
Falling up in tiny shoes
Hanging with fears and doubts
Wondering what I'm about
So when you twist the top
And the fizz stops
Will you still be there for me?

Hello Mr. Max

Last line pays tribute to awesome song by Simon and Garfunkel.

Can someone tell me whats the harm
Of a broken window sill
Now the light shines so bright
Bridging particles in the sun
The kids run through the night
And no one can tell us why
We move out the light
And the trees hold the stance
Twigs and broken hearts
Trampling all of my plans
She says no sir
And that's how we part
For I think words that I can't
In the moonlight
They seem magical
But no matter, I can run
Somewhere they can't find me

"boy, go find yourself some flaming red hair and pumps." cause it's for you. don't worry you don't need to write all this down.

The times I smiled were all wrong

I look back now with the sins gone

But I’ll pick up some along the way

I found the needle without the hay

The sun calls in sick for the day

While the boy cries alone by the phone

This sadness lasts way too long 

And unfortunately, apathy wants its bone

Who loved Shel Silverstein books as a kid? I hope all of you did.

The Wagging Dog’s Tales

Boys they talk but kid don’t speak

Thinking twice is the funeral

Where everyone reports too

She’s out of the new

Sublime, before she spoke

In and out of that bloke

Smoking on your own

This body’s run afoul

Hails her way back to the town

While we hang around

Diamonds and bees

Impeccable lost dreams

Pocket cash and time

Not enough for the lesson to learn

Smoking to no return

The dog to the bone

Harlequin boys hang up the phone

She speaks it screams to me, sir

Lovely blue sails

The wagging dog’s tales

She sleeps alone

Tonight she’s on her own

The Fair Maiden Cries Her Part

Sitting here, love’s far way

I’m tired of yesterday

Well I have drunk all of your wine

Now I’m standing on your time

No need to wash up a crime

Love’s falling fast asleep

Shame, it can’t stay on its feet

Mary’s always been alone

The axiom of sticks and stones

Falls down by my side

With the sun shining down the night

Falsehood on its side

Is such a tasteless sight

Mary runs for the hills

Smiles at a standstill

The kids come running

Locked in warning, not out of fear

I don’t want her back she can stay dear

The world came, time’s spent

I’m leaving you out of common sense

The Quick Brown Fox

A wise man once said "I don't want to wake up. I don't want to move.", I wonder does the quick brown fox ever feel this way when someone searches a font. Who knows? This song I wrote has nothing to do with anything. Enjoy!

The good times have come to pass

Love goes much too fast

The quick brown fox moves his head pass the past

I run with the most of them

When Franklin comes to sleep at night

We’ll kick him out

The love of me left as loose

Turning on time

Living out on that line

She rings

The love you sent

It burst into flames

Came knocking on your door

Lay on that seismic floor

What will you do?

Where no one ever shows

But we all seem to know
