Rambling off the top of my head- style sheets-and whatever else

Raining in Virginia, with Dreaming as a Torn Umbrella

Counting Crows
Holiday in Spain

Got no place to go, but there's a girl waiting for me down in Mexico. She's got a bottle of Tequila, a bottle of Gin, and if I bring a little music I can fit right in. We've got airplane rides, we got California driving out the window side. And we got big, black cars, and we got stories how we slept with all the movie stars, I may. Take a Holiday in Spain. Leave my wings behind me. Drink my worries down the drain, and fly away to somewhere new.

Hop on my choo choo, I'll be your engine driver in a bunny suit, if you. Dress me up in pink and white we may get just a little fuzzy about it later tonight. Well she's my angel, she's a little better than the one that used to be with me, cause she. Likes to scream at me, man it's a miracle that she's not living up in a tree. I may. Take a holiday in Spain. Leave my wings behind me. Drive this little girl insane, or fly away to some where new.

Everybody's gone. They left the television screaming that the radio's on. And someone stole my shoes, but there's a couple of banannas and a bottle of booze; oh. Well Happy New Years baby, we can probably fix it if we clean it up all day, or we can. Simply, pack our bags, and catch a plane to Barcelona cause this city's a drag.
Velvet whispers
Inaudible murmuring
Stifled secrets

Indigo shadows veil desperation
Obscuring desire

In a lucid azure dream
I found you

Under a sapphire sky.

Well, it so happens that I was asked my permission to dedicate 2 whole pages to me in an upcoming book called The International Who's Who of Poetry with one of the pages being my poem and the other page being a biography of me. Woohoo! (Hopefully it's n

I'd be interested to read more of your stuff, if you're willing to share.

A Maiden

Oh if I were the velvet rose
Upon the red rose vine,
I'd climb to touch his window
And make his casement fine.

And if I were the little bird
That twitters on the tree,
All day I'd si

Some people are so shy about what they write, they won't share it...

I ask: why do you write if not to be read?

I'm suffering from a little writers block. I'd would *appreciate* any help given by the inspiration dxpians. The piece is humor.

What would a good break-up speech sound like if it is heard over the answering machine? I want her to be cold and s

Have been away for a few days & haven't checked in. I am going to the local "book mine" tomorrow & will look for your suggestion. Sounds like something I'd enjoy! For me, besides dialogue, it's all about the characters & how the author describes them. Wil

You will not tame this sea
either by humility or rapture.
But you can laugh
in its face.

Laughter
was invented by those
who live briefly
as a burst of laughter.

The eternal sea
will never learn to laugh.

Freedom... Pure naked freedom. It's the loss of all inhibitions. It's like stipping off all your clothes and running bare bottomed through the desert durring a lightning storm, sand burning the soles of your feet and sweat and rain water running down your

First you must be able to spell. NOT

I think that I shall never see a beer as lovely as a tree
the brew that joe's pub has on tap with golden base and fomey cap
The golden brew I drink all day
until my memory melts away
poems are made by fools like me

heaven's blue and violet shadows
captive in forgotten dreams
'tis in memories where her soul forever roams
and she waits for he who knows

"Lilith Who Knew Love"
The Dark Moon Goddess
Sits on her throne
And is lost to an infinite expanse
Of shadows and regrets.

She feels the vein of humanity
Pulsing blood, red and warm.
She sees mortality
Grow and whithe
