I Felt Your Soft Caring Heart
Someone tried to make me smile
and she did
Just like that, out of the blue
She was you!
On this day suddenly I felt so sad
coming across old memories I didn't know I had
and I paused to write the feelings down
But not for you to stumble on them and make you feel bad or frown
You're reading my poems
Feelings that even to those close to me
are as of yet, mostly unknown
today I feel lost and so alone
My friend, who I just did meet
Please don't be so fleeting
I felt blessed with our meeting
and felt to your caring heartbeat
My writing is snippets of emotion
Not meaning to hurt and cause commotion
but rather to heal and mend
appreciative of the fragile gift of finding a friend
So let me turn your frown back into a smile
Feel at home in my company
Stay for a longer while
And later judge me after we've walked hand-in-hand for a mile
But for now, let me thank you for your smile!

I have a complaint!
I have a complaint!
After we first did aquaint
I thought you might be my patron saint
then found out you ain't
I showed constraint
as your voice grew so feint
when our friendship you did taint
then in a corner, yourself you did paint
and subsequently pretended to faint
No use in trying to repaint
your excuses so hollow and quaint
the lies you embelish and impaint
so I'll draw you a note in red fingerpaint
'I think its best we disaquaint'

I Used To Slip M&Ms To The Monkeys
I used to slip M&Ms to the monkeys at the zoo!
I threw a bag of chips to the llamas too
Gave an emu a fruit roll-up (ok..maybe two)
Later, I sipped tea with a giraff.
I saw eye to eye with an egret (which I didn't regret)
I traded jokes with a hyena until she started to laugh
and helped an elephant with his afternoon bath
but right now I know the perfect thing to do
to go motorcycling with you
because for that time you'll be with me
and we can just be pals and feel a little free
Because I understand animals and they seem to get along with me
(wait...that didn't come out right...)
I'll stroke your hair and dry your tears and peel away a few years
I'll mend your injuries...your heartbreak too so you can smile again like you
To once again feel free to frolic and play like a little kinkajou
or a coqui frog underneath the moon and stars upon a log
we can even go for a hike or a jog
It's OK if you hold my hand, I won't say a thing
as long as you don't mention my wedding band
I try to relate with her but my heart she doesn't understand
yeah, I'm a littlle bit second-hand

In A Blink
Life
Will be over in a blink
Never be afraid
To chance
To bloom
Or to blossom
There is a flower in you
If you
Believe!
