"Go"

You go far

Miles and years

But you're still here

   (in my heart).

"Untruths"

You want me to lie to you

Fill you with untruths

But I'm seeking what is true

   (Like those dime-store sleuths.)

September 23, 2026

"Blindly"

A force drove you here

Blindly searching

What you found here

Could it be Love?

September 23, 2026

"Spied"

I just spied my bicycle

In a place it shouldn't be

Like a blast from the past

It befuddles me.

"Cry"

Will you fix me a homemade muffin

At the start of my day

Will you cry o'er my coffin

When they put me away?

"Might"

You might want to consider

The distinct possibility

That every once in a while . .

   (I want to talk to you).

"Caught"

I just caught Sophia in a movie

From 1958

Everything about her role

   reminded me of you.

"Shouting"

We're either falling in love or shouting

It's an Italian thing

It makes an effective redoubting

Against taking it on the wing.

"Pretending"

Okay, I've been pretending

Pretending I'm over you

I only hope you're intending

To quit pretending, too.

June 30, 2026

"Abuse"

A curious part of Love

   abuse, abuse, abuse

Has me asking God Above

   Really, what's the use?

June 22, 2026

"Over"

I thought I was doing so well

Getting over you

Then I found a new Hell

   (discovering it's not true).

June 8, 2026

"Forget"

Something about the quiet evening

Watching the Sun go down

That makes me forget

All about you.

June 3, 2026

"Lost"

When you write all your songs about houses

   (as Willie often does)

It reflects a life of lost spouses

   (and missing how it was).

March 3, 2026

"Blue"

When I turn 104

   (and finally over you)

I'll show you what hearts are for 

   (and you'll be oh so blue).

December 31, 2025

"Coo"

Maybe it's Love

Gift from Above 

Coo like a dove 

   (maybe it's Love).

November 29, 2025

"Scratch"

You play your tunes 

I scratch my runes

   (somebody please make sense).

October 11, 2025

"Suspense"

We could develop our own kinds of themes

   (if the ones they know don't make sense)

We could create our own kinds of memes

   (to keep them in suspense).

October 11, 2025

"Scenes"

My friends all say you're acting funny 

I think I know what that means

I think it means you got new honey

   (judging by your scenes).

September 21, 2025

"Remaining"

You've got the baby coming 

You just bought the house 

The only thing remaining is . .

   The ring.

September 20, 2025

"Pardon"

The pathway to your garden 

Has been cleared of weeds

Now that you've earned a pardon

For your darkest deeds.
