A Piano Piece I'll Write(August 12, 2011)

A Piano Piece I'll Write
August 12, 2011

In the attempt to write a piano piece,
the one that seemed so easy to begin,
but so difficult to go on,
I finally realized what to do,
was just sit and talk with you.

Leave the piano to rest,
until I was ready to play,
and continue on the day.

But as I sit and sit,
nothing strikes a word of thought,
to explain anything I ought.

So I'm trying to figure out,
how to communicate a simple thought,
then it hits me,
out of the blue,
a special way to just say hi to you.

It mat be extravagant,
but in the end it just might be the trick,
just the ticket.

A piano piece I'll write,
I'll sit at my desk with a paper or two,
then after that I'll go back to the piano,
oh how I've missed you,

just so you'll smile,
and we'd finally talk for awhile,
and maybe actually have a conversation.

That would be worth playing,
a thousand times in my head.
Of course that's already been done.
But why not make it a thousand and one?

A Ramble of Pointlessness(July 27, 2011)

A Ramble of Pointlessness
July 27, 2011

It’s only hard for life to be a breeze,
because the trees of all the possibilities,
are always standing in my way.

There are just too many for me to see the sun,
so I guess i’ll have to run, and run,
just to find the one tall enough to take me to the view.

Just like the buildings in a giant city,
standing one by one,
the cars in traffic,
and the people on the street.

It’s hard to see through the crowd,

but it’s not far you see.

So when I say I’ll run, run, run,
just to catch a plane,
the one that will take me to my heart,
which belongs to art,
and the music that I make,
I mean it,
it doesn’t matter what road I’ll have to take.

‘Cause believe me I have everything to gain,
just by smiling it helps the pain,
and hugs are the best,
when you’re in a mess.
At least for me that’s what I need,
some times indeed.

I know I’m writing this as plain as paper,
but it helps to staple.
all my thoughts together,
in words that sound good,
like they should.

So when I say I’ll run, run, run,
I mean it,
because the colors on a canvas,
are all I know how to guess,
and that’s all I ever see on a test,
and I may not be the best,
but at least it isn’t anything less.

Now after reading this,
I bet you miss,
the seconds waisted,
just to read,
a ramble of pointlessness.
