I'm Glad You're Here (With Me
i'm glad you're here (with me
and i with you) warm and
waiting wondering
what might happen next
is what was meant to be
between two lovers anyway
what of the words spoken
in haste never matters now
with gentle fingers probing
moving slowly downward
to regions in between
to touch honey to drown
with lips tender to warm
the breath of all breaths
and words love comes in
gasps and whispers i'm glad
you're here with me
and i with you
holding you beholding you
in love's sweet aftermath

In The Dog House
give me a little time
and i'll get over
being angry with you
for making my day
a bigger challenge
than it would've been
without you here
the simple truth is
i can't stay mad at you
sometimes it seems
you are in the dog house
more than you are out
but i guess that's life
with you canine creatures
growling and fighting
chewing things you
ought not to be gnawing on
and dropping carpet bombs
in every imaginable spot
i'm always mopping
and cleaning up after
i've been away at work
all day just wanting
to relax and put
my feet up for a while
but that's the way
it is with us humans
still the three of you
are a terrific trio
and i do cherish you

in your heart
it's what's
in your heart
that really matters
let it be love
and peace
and laughter
a bit of kindness
and compassion
wouldn't hurt
for that matter

Journey
i met a young mother
whose skin was all whithered
a broken-hearted lover
whose eyes were all swollen
a young lady laughing
with teeth that were broken
a father singing hymns
a son whose feet were both bandaged
i heard a prophet saying
the world if full
of both gives and takers
i spoke with some men
who had no agenda
i saw chidren playing
hearts pure as the snow
'neath their boots
i saw dead people talking
and live people walking like zombies
i heard young girls who were weeping
a professor sleeping
the users are winners
the winners negated
some warm-hearted people
shivering in the cold
some bad men living
life all alone
old women in trousers
staying close to their homes
too many people left dying alone
