Nomenclature

This thing called love turns us inside out
Flips worlds upside down
Holds us bound
While we scream and shout
And play the game out
Can be lost and found
This thing called love
____________________________________

This thing called love makes us doubt
No matter how devout
But we all come around
Come home safe and sound
With our hearts more stout
This thing called love

Naive (Pantoum)

We share a heart so tender
Some do think us naive
We two have only surrendered
We allow ourselves to believe

Some just think us naive
They are unaware of the cost
While we allow ourselves to believe
The real world can be lost

They don't perceive the true cost
That we two have sundered
The real world we have lost
While we share our hearts so tender

Lost and Found

Bright and brilliant blue
Shimmering, resplendent
Reaching into my soul
Curing my ills
Warming my heart
Filling me with your love
My whole body trembles
With the thought
You turn your eyes to me
And I am lost
Find me

Crushed

Crushed cords fall in disarray
Tattered edges to torn seams
Too frayed to be rebound
Too far apart to join
Blue and white dissolve to black
As sunlight fades away
The world outside reflects the scene
Cause, effect, Which is which?
Both interchangeable
Lost ships won't reach the shore

Tether

It's a plain dreary rain
I watch from my window pane
It's time for moving on
But I'm stuck here with the pain
Time is fleetly flying
And patience has me sighing
I've waited here so long
Just knowing this and crying
You left me here forever
My heart about to sever
My life is barren, I withdrawal
I've lost my only tether

Life

Life

Lost ground and lost way

Footing insecure

Broken and defeated

We must brace ourselves

To rise again

For no matter how often we fall

We must rise to the challenge

To the day

To face our enemies

Because that is the meaning of life

The rise and fall

The give and take

Without which

We cannot live

Hope Chest

A hope chest standing empty

By the foot of the bed

Brings to mind

Times long ago

Loves of yesteryear

Forgotten

But not completely lost

We collect trinkets

To start a new life

But what if we never start over?

Never begin anew?

Is hope lost forever?

Or is it left sitting

In an empty chest

At the foot of the bed?

Distance

Distance

Missing only begins to describes

The thought of being without you

As daylight creeps up my window

What’s missing from my view is you

And it burns more it each day

It’s getting more painful to say

How much I love you and in every way

The distance grows farther

And more silent every day

Without your smiling face

I wade into the daily fray

Certain that I’ve lost you

Determined to come for you

But missing you and loving you

Lost

Lost

A paused conversation

Taken out of context

It draws conclusions to the strangest places

They think they see insight

A brief glimpse

Never a full picture

How could you make a picture

Out of a thousand

A million

Scattered pieces?

What’s up G4/Esquire?

Nine months ago I said goodbye to some good friends.  I saw them every weekday, sometimes on the holidays.  (4/20 is holiday isn’t?) I was told that they had to go to a nice farm in the country.  Ok.  Not Really.  I’m talking about G4 being acquired by Esquire and telling Attack of the Show to vamoose.  I, along with many, many geeks, was rightfully upset.  I have had nine months, however, to understand and try to come to terms with this terrible loss to geekdom.  I have now found out that Esquire, in addition to acquiring the rights to G4’s signal, have acquired an additional signal.  They now have TWO channels on my TV.  One is still called G4 and is running reruns of COPS CAMPUS PD HEROS LOST AIRWOLF and various infomercials.  The one called ESQUIRE has a few new programs and has filled the rest of its time with various movies, reruns and you guessed it, INFOMERCIALS.  For this we gave up our channel of geekdom?  Our Nerdtopia?  Please someone out there start a fundrazr to buy back G4 with Kevin and Olivia and Chris.  Chris can run it.  I’m sure he wants his own tv network.  Pretty Please?  With a cherry on top?
