Yesterday's Rain

2011-05-25T12:53:00.000-07:00

It rains, it's wonderful. I love you.
We remain at home.
Nothing pleases us more than ourselves
by this time in low season
It is wonderful: it is raining.
I listen to the rain hitting the window
And you smile tenderly.
~ Francis Carco

I can't touch the sun for you

2010-03-09T12:36:00.000-08:00

I can't touch the clouds for you, I'll never reach the sun for you
I've never done the things that you need done for you
I've stretched as high as I can reach, I guess I'm not the one for you
'Cause I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun for you
No I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun

I can't turn back time for you, and make you sweet sixteen again
I can't turn your barren fields to green again
And I won't sit around and talk of how things might have been again
No I can't turn back time and make you young again
I can't turn back time and make you young

I hope you find somebody who can do the things I didn't do
And find the road I didn't find, and build a brighter world for you
I hope you find somebody old enough to reach and take a hold
And guide your ever changing mind, and free your ever risin' soul
But I can't, No I can't

I can't look inside your mind, and see the things you're hopin' for
And I can't help you chase the dream you're gropin' for
You say your arms are open wide, but Lord knows who they're open for
No I can't know your mind or chase your dreams with you
No I can't chase your dreams or know your mind

So say goodbye and don't look back, I've had some happy days with you
Sorry I can't be the one who stays with you
And when they ask about me, you can say I was the one with you
Who never touched the clouds or reached the sun with you
No I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun

I guess it's done, I can't touch the sun for you, ooh, ooh, ooh
I can't touch the sun, I can't no I can't, ooh, no, ooh, no
I can't touch the sun, no lord, no.
(Performed by Dr. Hook)

Wisps in the Wind

2009-03-10T23:53:00.000-07:00

We are like wisps in the wind
Time moving by so fast
An emptiness of the heart
A moment that couldn't last
Fragments from another time
My mind wanders for a while
Forever in my memories
In another face I've seen your smile.

Grey Silence

2009-01-21T10:24:00.000-08:00

Grey rainy days,
Quiet, silent
Clouds drifting across the sky

Silently life begins
Slowly, effortlessly
From the sky tears

Changing over night
Washing away
The hurt and grim of other years

Revealing secrets
Beautiful, alive
Once again the world is new

Grey rainy days
Quiet, silent
clouds drifting slowly away

Till next time....

somewhere i have never travelled

2009-01-21T10:15:00.000-08:00

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands

- E. E. Cummings

Silver Liquid Drops
