Dear Potential Boyfriend

TO MY FUTURE/POTENTIAL BOYFRIEND/SIGNIFICANT OTHER:

If for a second you have a moment of doubt,
Then please do not bother trying me out.
And if you think that kisses are free,
Then you sure as hell do not want me.
Don't call me beautiful because I already know,
Please love me for all that I have to show.
Don't claim to understand me just to please your pride,
'Cause you don't have a clue what's going on in my mind.
If you want me as an accessory to drape over your arm,
Then purchase a scarf and don't cause me harm.
If you are a smoker, then cough into your sleeve,
Your breath is more revolting than you may believe.
I don't ask for gold and I don't care for cars,
But don't go out with your pals, hopping bars.
Be a gentleman and stand up for me like a man,
And I'll be a sweet pea; I'll be as nice as I can.
But if you deceive me I will make your heart swell,
I'll castrate your ego and wish you to hell.
If you feel like this risk is too much to bear,
I'll be single forever for all that I care.
Dear future boyfriend, please keep these thoughts straight,
Before you ask the "blonde chick" out on a date.

Happiness is Pink Jellybeans

Happiness is jumping in a pool of pink jellybeans Feeling the cool candy on my skin Happiness is enjoying the pleasures of life Without worrying about confessing my sins Whoever said that we are gluttons For biting juicy pears on the beach Must never have felt the sand in their toes They must have placed their own soul out of reach And what about greed? It's not all that bad To bury a pile of chestnuts for the spring All animals do it, so why shouldn't we? If it's greedy to love yourself, let it be Lust is the one that makes pastors blush Yet it's one of the greatest joys in the body A kiss and a dance, laughter and romance Why did we ever label this happiness as naughty? Have you ever seen a cat sad when it naps? It is okay to sometimes be lazy The body needs rest as does the mind Or the world will set fire from the crazy If happiness is a sin, then let me smile in hell Looking up at the do-gooders above For to live is to err, to cry, and to sing Happiness is pink jell...

Lost in Rio

Jesus looks over The lost souls and bones below In the jungle sun To witness such beauty And such devastation God painted with one brushstroke Merry men sing Holes in their shoes The dark night lit up By police sirens And the crescent moon Bats flail around Like me, lost in the jungle Eyes glaring all around I hope they're monkeys Or jaguars I hope I can keep a piece of This country with me Safe in my pocket It smells like tropical rain And feels like The clam shells Washed up on the shore It tastes like fried bananas And heavily salted steak Sounds like seabirds cawing Samba on the streets And looks like a page From a storybook About parrots and palm trees Of finding a golden treasure A magnificent, uneasy place When she sun goes down So do we Leaving the night  To the creepy crawlers And innocent stray cats

We Pretend

We pretend that we'll live forever That tomorrow will bring something better We pretend we're not made of stars As we roam the streets and bars We pretend we'll never die That our kids won't ever cry Over the loss that is our end Every student, teacher, friend Everyone we've ever known Has a constellation they call home When the moon comes out at night I look to them to see the light To all those who did pretend That their story would never end But on some nights, breezy and clear I see the stars and they feel near I can grasp one and hold it in my hand As it takes me to another land We pretend this earth is all there is to see Yet the stars and crickets have spoken to me We pretend we'll never die Because we truly won't To someone's eye
