This is the me that is;
That is the you that was —
Life is a lonely tree,
And we didn’t last, because

An ocean is made with time,
And continents drift apart —
Now, this is the me that is,
A weary and bending

Heart

how love you are and so I know
the river sounds an evening bell
a zip line I don’t think I’d try
(and given this, it’s just as well)
but though the water’s blue and gold,
it is my sudden past you hold:
the rapids flow, the world goes by,
and summer walks can purify

Come, look into the future, see
The winding road of destiny
That bears us to we-know-not-where
Across the wide tomorrow

It’s nothing like the trip we’ve known,
And there’s no map that can be shown
To where all we will stop ere there,
No compass we can borrow —

And days we feel like all is choice,
We’re worried that we’ll blow it;
But now’s an evanescent thing
And gone before we know it —

Whatever road we hap to choose,
The way’s not really ours to lose:
The sun will soon be falling,
The wide tomorrow’s

Calling

Version 2

The fairgrounds in their splendor,
A young love in its bounty,
Chaotic and disordered,
Like everything around me

It’s actually, well, tawdry;
But in our interaction
We find the beauty in a place
That has no great

Attraction

Version 1

The fairgrounds
Carried with them all of
The chaotic, asymmetrical splendor
So many of our best days have

A place is magic
Not intrinsically, but
Because of how we interact with it

And a new love here
In this unfashionable place,
Beats a sunny day of lonely cynicism

On the Riviera

She loved her daddy maybe some,
He loved her mostly always, yes;
There was no distance, no divorce,
Just growing up and old, I guess

For pictures freeze another you;
Today’s the rain, and the malaise —
She loves her daddy, maybe, some,
But they’re just disconnected

Nowadays
