A Glass Music Box
What do people share
when they come together?
Perhaps it’s a glass of decadence.
Cheers
What do people see
when they stare at each other?
Perhaps it’s their reflection.
Spilling
Gears grinding, windows steaming
as they both climb into
A Glass Music Box.
The Perils of Fake Fish Dot Com
I’ve gone fishing many times
casting out my fishing line
hoping to snag a migrating kingfish
I’ve stalked the many fishing sites
sometimes I get a hundred bites
and then they break the line
Perhaps I need some sweeter bait
to entice the fish I want to catch
there are many hungry fish to feed
Some fish are bold and some are shy
it’s hard to tell what kind they are
I’m used to fishing at a bar
I finally caught the biggest fish
I must have used the perfect bait
he was hungry, he was desperate
I cooked him well and chewed him up
my kingfish paid with his heart
never knowing the fake fish cost
You Don’t Know Me Yet
You don’t know
that my favorite color is blue
You don’t realize
that I am here for you
You don’t know me yet!
You never call me
when you know I am home
You never hold my hand
when you know I need you to
You don’t know me yet!
Where will you take me
on our honeymoon
Where will you take me
on our anniversary
You don’t know me yet!
Do you always eat alone
and wish you had a partner
Do you always sleep alone
and wish you had a lover
Don’t worry, it won’t be long
You don’t know me yet!
