"My Thoughts to Clear"

I have had my Muse
. Like Michelangelo
I felt the pull of Love
. Not in terra, but al cielo.

His a Cavilieri
. Mine a Cavalier
He to sculpt the marble
. I my thoughts to clear.

"Hope Is a Bitch"

Hope is a bitch
. I wish I could meet her
Hangin' out down by the watering hole
. She'd be with her friends
You know the ones
. Faith, Grace, Chastity, and Chance.

I'd say a few words
. I'd put it right to her:
Why do you do what you do?
. Why spring eternal?
. . Why offer yourself
Then take it away with a grin?

"In the Beginning"

In the Beginning . .
. God made Sun
. . And He made Sea
And God made you, and He made me.

In the Beginning . .
. The Sun did shine
. . The Sea did roar
It tossed us both upon the shore.

In the Beginning . .
. When I saw you
. . And you saw we
Then Life began, beneath a tree.

In the Beginning . .
. When waters rose
. . And lapped the sand
I told the World how Life began.

"Save One"

First convo, save one
. A chat amongst the first
. . I said you had ten years
. . . To satisfy your thirst.

. . . Now a decade more
. . The drinking hums along
. It helps you with your life
It helps you with your song.

But you recall that night
. The night when'ere we spoke
. . As now a New Year dawns
. . . Will you apply the yoke?
