It’s leaving me
Or already left
Little by little
And day by day
Words no longer come
One after another
Only form in scattered staccatos
All appears lost, m i s p l a c e d,
reversed, underdeveloped:
.sentence proper a write to how remember even can’t I, Now
After Little Charmer
If only I could
If only you would
But we both know it couldn’t
Come to any good
Yet you still have some may
And I still have some might
So what if our wish on the stars
Could make something so forbidden lawful tonight?

Never bend
Nor break
Only expand horizons
The opposite of crash
Merge to connect
Forgo destruction
Create instead
An invisible world
Built upon the alignment
Of four-lettered words
There are days
Your affection
Sounds like:
uoy evol I
And I can’t decide
If it’s coming from
The tip of your tongue
Or the depths of my ears
are the sentence without a period
The movement in the puddle after the rains
The scent that lingers when the scent is gone
The oxygen for the oxygen
The letters that spell out the word love
The one thing I’ll never leave behind
[Chorus]
I loved you ever since I found you
I always need to be around you (2x)
[Verse 1]
They say our love is like a fountain
I think it’s higher than a mountain
Our love is wider than the ocean
I never needed any potions
I loved you long before I woke up
One look said we would never break up
I never thought you needed makeup
You’re perfect just the way God made ya
[Chorus]
I loved you ever since I found you
I always need to be around you (2x)
[Verse 2]
Your scent is sweeter than a flower
Around you I lose all my power
You’re flawless in every arrangement
I’ve always wanted an engagement
How can I tell you that you’re perfect
In a way no poet has wrote it?
You’re so much more than I noted
Your essence they could never clone it
[Chorus]
I loved you ever since I found you
I always need to be around you (4x)
Might be falling
Too dark for positives
Surrounded by
Blurs my eyes
Can’t ever adjust to
Thought stars
Rose in the east
Set in the west
Appears that wasn’t true
The facts are:
My sun rises and sets solely
Upon the position of you
You make me wish
The world were flat
And you were sailing
In a boat toward its end
Discovered your shadow
along the wall
in the pale moonlight
It was the shape
of a heart with two wings
So it goes without saying
you’re not of this Earth.
We speak in sonnets
Our hands the couplets
Kissing haikus
And amid the dark we compose
These rhythmic stanzas
Because at some point
We stopped making love
And started making poetry
My word is goddess It's not an invitation But a prophecy
Inspired by Folk, Blues, Psychedelic Rock, Krautrock, Electronica, Punk, Industrial, and Noise Rock I make music alone and with friends since 1998.
