Weatherman Whether

WillLeave a comment

Just ask your weatherman, that was a dream once upon a time and so was being a pilot during my days in the Navy, but my eyes didn’t have the right stuff, oh I didn’t mention being an astronaut either. “Weatherman Whether”, some men have taller dreams

Whether man was meant to predict
the weather, he tries,
why he looks to the skies
becoming blind to it
As with God himself, he could confer
and know in a phone call
where he takes her, he takes her

or such is the nature of man, to rule,
so some men become wise,
still, others will buy the lie,
a one-way ticket is that of a fool.
Only he becomes so sure
that he would run, walk, or crawl
he goes, he takes her, he takes her

supposing he was like Superman himself
for he succeeds, he flies
like a leaf on the wind, surprise
watch how he soars, and there is nowhere else
He makes her a jet setter
Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall
while he takes her, he takes her

far, farther, so amazingly far
autumn leaves, return, apologize
how, when it must be a mile high
An unreachable star,
dream deferred
Yet I will stand tall
knowing he takes her, he takes her

Above It All

Rowing Or…

WillLeave a comment

Am I really going forward, where am I going, and really wherever I’m headed do I truly want to be there at all. Rowing Or…; I’m no longer drowning but I suppose I was less loss when I was still in the water, for down seems so much better than around.

Rowing
Ass backwards
It’s a curse
Not knowing
Yet I’m going
Yes Ma’am, yes Sirs
Why… I’m not sure
I’m thinking of forgoing

Oars
To sink or swim
I don’t know where to begin
But no more
Dreams weighing me down
Slowly let me drown

Dreaming Awake

WillLeave a comment

I usually don’t have nightmares when I’m sleeping but since I have been working it seems the days and the nights are beginning to blur and being awake is a nightmare. Dreaming Awake… I think I rather not dream at all anymore and yet I continue

Dreaming awake, sweet dreams really…
Can you hear, oh the time
It’s just like kneeling
How God denies
The very existence of my life
Doesn’t he make mistakes?
I know your lie
Dreaming awake

All that I’ve been feeling
You’re just as blind
Watching is like killing
Behind those closed blinds
Think you’re so divine
Like him a fake
As I try to drive
Dreaming awake

Screaming yet somehow I’m dealing
But me you’ll never find
Closed doors and jeering
Yeah I want to hide
Or just to cry
Everything I have take
Let me sign
Dreaming awake

Yet I fight
Won’t begin to pray
Just let me die
Dreaming Awake

A Head of Sleep

WillLeave a comment

Lazy I know but there is no avoiding “her” in my dreams, everywhere else is a crap shoot, but a few steps, a leap, I can only outrun her going the other direction. “A Head of Sleep”, yeah maybe I should go to bed and sleep, just sleep.

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CNwIdOCF-0

And that’s why I don’t sleep
Be my starry eyed surprise
If I closed my eyes
it would only be to weep
for your beauty, I just can’t keep
A memory, a dream, no I
want you but I’m scared to try
one step, one leap

to Heaven, to the stars, to the moon
Would you love me like you do
or am I simply enjoying the view
You say “see you soon”
Jump ahead
Why am I in bed…

Alone again, maybe?

Feather Ed

WillLeave a comment

Did you leave your wings at home, sometimes even angels fall, or maybe did you forget how to fly… all the things I was thinking about saying when I saw my crush in an ankle cast today. Feather Ed… they once used feathers for a lot of things

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXrQgvkfLiM

And even God thought, you’re such a wonderful surprise
You’re what men were given eyes for
So God makes even more…
only you’re the one that I adore
But I dream of you instead

Should I open my eyes?
Live brave in a whole new world
Just be the boy asking a girl
to love me like you do… absurd
Yet like a chief I tread

Imagining letters from the sky
From a poor poet’s hands
Spoken from this man
Tell me my love, here I am
How the quills once bled

Of the Marquis de Sade and an angel’s demise,
debauchery, wanton depravity
Ravishment and the biggest tragedy
That there would never be you and me
High above me, wings spread

I don’t ask why
You keep so many feathers, keep your wings
There is something better, only I spring
my own wings together from so many things
Still this year’s love is over my head

Because Bed

WillLeave a comment

Because that’s where she is, in my head, in my heart in my dreams and because everywhere else I know I can’t have her. “Because Bed” is safe but even standing right next to her, well if the girl only knew what I was thinking… baggy pants anyone?

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dkqwmnYppc

Beginning with her eyes, her smile
beckoning my heart, but the rest of me,
bedsheets should hide but really
beautiful still; my eyes close for awhile

Bewitched by an angel…
Bewildered and such
Beware this thing they call love
Betrays the most beautiful stranger

Beasts such as I
bearing my heart accountable
“Be my heroine!” shouted loud and powerful
Becoming my *sigh*

Belief… in love me like you do
Be heard
Be hers
Because know, she has no reason to

Eye Admire

WillLeave a comment

Why people kiss… keeps them from saying something stupid, gets them moving because you admire something and not move any closer; not counting a bulge in my pants. “Eye Admire” is keeping me from the conclusion of never wanting to see her again *sigh*

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tlx0f3hNS_g

And I should try not to kiss you…
Or dream a little dream of me and you; just a few
songs like love me like you do
blasting on my car stereo
Maybe when we’re all alone
you’re be in my arms tomorrow; sun outside my window
Guess I’m not the best with secret keeping,
while I am barely breathing
and how my heart is beating
Open your eyes… it’s required
Look at her; my heart’s not a liar
How else can I be your secret admirer?

Happily… Ever… Whatever

WillLeave a comment

So what’s stopping me… a few “fetishes”, a need for the intimacy, all of womankind, who knows really; okay so I could be a better person I suppose. “Happily… Ever… Whatever” that would be too much especially for a “first” just the opportunity…

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi0cV2mNLr8

Oh God was it ever

The lace and the feathers
Not much for leather… are you?
And a thank you letter

Because it must be quite the effort
To love me like you do
Bu why can’t I remember

My love, return to sender
You and me… a dream or two, a few
Happily… ever… whatever

Something better than “I love you”… wish I could let her
Or the answer wasn’t never

A Word Too Much

WillLeave a comment

Too many Match.com commercials, love does not come first… then again what do they know I was a member for year, anyway you don’t tell her that you love her, I couldn’t even tell her that I like her. “A Word Too Much”, such is love

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V41Dq2jpOfU

Long enough to know; is this love… it’s a lot
Outrageous, the way I look at her or to prefer
vanity; to dream while she is in the world
Extraordinary that’s her

Let me learn how to stop;
obsessing over the words, “I love you”
Validating what will never be true
Even if she sang “love me like you do”

Leaving her panties in a knot
Our bodies entwined
Villainous to waste a heroine’s time
Everything, all of me, screams she may be mine

Last man standing, while everyone else is not
Oh in bed they get to stay
Very nice, while I look at her today…
Exhale you know just what to say

No not that word…

Love… Prescription… Glasses

WillLeave a comment

This is why you don’t wear glasses to bed though honestly I think I’ll leave mine on my “first” time just to really catch what’s going on, while getting it on. Love makes it so you can’t see straight anyway… Love… Prescription… Glasses

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyviASgvfpk

My heart skips a beat;
makes up with two, maybe three… a feat
holding back my heart, for I’m no hunk
or Hulk seeing stars, just collisions
Only never between the sheets

I watch you fall from the sky
and have no reason to ask the deities why
Yet I remain a monk
As you make your decision
But I’m just another guy

No Aristotle, Socrates, Plato… they thought a lot
Not even they knew how to stop
this thing they call “love”, who’d a thunk
Me and you
Love me like you do
That’s not a mission

Just a dream in my bunk

So why are you here today?
Did we Marvin Gaye
and get it on… from my dreams to my bed double vision

new prescription or am I drunk
