Time Tire Flyer Fun

It's time for bed,
Said her little head,
And her body wanted to follow.

But it's only six,
And we still have to fix,
Everything by tomorrow.

So her body dragged,
And her eyes they nagged,
To stay all the way open.

When she was finally done,
With no time for fun,
A cab ride home is what she was hopin.

But she could not spend,
Must see through to the end,
Her bank account is not full.

So she conquers the subway,
And saves her pay,
The poor mans push and pull.

She makes it home,
Where she is never alone,
And sits down for some tea.

But if I were her,
I'd run far away,
To an entirely different city.

One where you can live,
And are happy to give,
A dollar to the needy.

Not where you try,
Just to get by,
And must hold onto every last penny.

But I suppose the pay off,
Could be enough,
If one were willing to wait.

But Iv'e sometime to think,
While I have a little drink,
My flight to Colorado is running late.

Things, Things and More Things

How can one acquire the world,
In one little room with four walls?

Iv'e got junk from my past everywhere,
Clothes, and trinkets and an assortment of balls.

I've got candles, masks, and books galore,
Haven't read one in a while, oh, and swords.

And blankets, sleeping bags and boxes,
All filled with meanings and words.

Giving it all away and sending it somewhere,
Anywhere, just not here with me anymore.

No thank you, Sir, I do not want your broken umbrella,
I just gave three away, along with an old apple core.

I got it when I was two but don't need it here,
I would like to start over in this beautiful new year.

So, take what you want and don't mention it again,
Just get it out of my sight and take this frikin pen!

TheLifeSimplyPut

I heard her say,
She loves the woods,
The sound you hear in the night.

The pitter patter,
Of the rain on the roof,
And having no one else in sight.

She loves the crunching,
Of Autumn leaves,
And equally the crunch of snow.

When everything around,
Is an untouched mass,
Natures life moves very slow.

And back to the city,
She must run,
To take care of all she's left behind.

Life stands still,
Without her there,
The other staff seems to be blind.

It's all on her word,
They will not budge,
Its on the drop of her dime.

Like little drones,
All robotic in suits,
They are mindless and losing time.

On this one special day,
She does not show,
The busy workers don't know how or who to serve.

She's made her decision,
About this life she's been livin,
And escapes back to the life she deserves.

5 After Midnight

For the good have always been told,
That they will never grow old.
And the bad do seem to think,
That it gets better with maybe one drink.

Wouldn't you rather live bold,
Than believe what you have been sold?
Let life not pass by in a blink,
And be a part of the chain, it's strongest link?

Our lives sometimes may be cold,
And sometimes they will stink,
But from the inside we'll shine gold,
Through our cheeks a shade of pink.

Clothing Can Teach You Lessons too!

I put a shoe upon my foot,
What did it give back to me?
A cushiony cushion of sweet support,
And it cares about my knee.

I put a hat upon my head,
What was it doing there?
It kept my ears all warmy warm,
And the snow stayed off of my hair.

I put some pants on my two legs,
I think I would rather have not,
I forgot I was already wearing a pair,
And now Im just really hot.

I hold my bag clutched in my hand,
What do I do for it?
I fill it up with fun fun things,
And hold it tight when I sit.

We help eachother every silly day,
So we may learn to share,
We trade our thoughts and our needs,
We learn to love and care.

Slacker

Will you sit and be my model?
I paint these portraits you see.
I haven't painted for seventeen years,
But you have inspired me.

I'm writing a character with you in mind,
I started three years ago,
I haven't picked up a pen in two,
My mind's been a little slow.

I think I may run the marathon this year,
I decided when you said "Hi",
I have been sitting in this chair for six months now,
And that is no way to get by.

To the people who inspire and allow me to grow,
I thank you with all of my love,
There are moments in life where I go under, you see,
It is people like you who keep me above.

For Odio... :)
