ARE YOU WEARING A CONFUSED EXPRESSION?

 

Are you wearing a confused expression?

Why is it beyond you comprehension?

That “Yes” and “No” are quite acceptable

Answers to almost every question

THERE IS KNOWLEDGE I NEED TO KNOW # 11

 

There is knowledge I need to know

If simply for the purposes of review

Such as, if you choke on an ice cube

Will it actually melt before it kills you

YOU ARE THE ONE

 

You are the one

I turn to for comfort

The one I can depend on

When things go caput

 

You are the one

Who sets me straight

When my heart is heavy

And the burden is great

 

You are the one

I turn to when I need a hug

You calm me down

Like a prescription drug

 

You are the one

On whom my life depends

Isn’t it about time

We were more than friends

MY PROPOSAL WAS REHEARSED

 

My proposal was rehearsed

I felt quietly confident

I maintained composure

Tinged with excitement

And I was quite shocked

To find her ambivalent

THE FLAME WAS EXTINGUISHED

 

Guttering slowly to its end

The flame was extinguished

A fire once white hot

Headed toward extinction

As passions cool

In the diminishing heat

Of the sombre ashes

Red fades to grey

To leave despairingly

Loves dying embers

Its flame long extinguished

SALT ‘N’ PEPPER HEADED LADY FAIR

 

All I can do is stand and stare

At the salt ‘n’ peppered lady fair

The woman with the greying hair

Oh beautiful lady standing there

With tresses of salt ‘n’ pepper hair

Please be the answer to my prayer

HOW VIVIDLY I RECALL

How vividly I recall

Seeing you standing there

Dressed in white silk

I still feel the despair

Watching the woman I love

Stood for all to see

Making her vows

To a man who wasn’t me
