Taxing your way out of debt makes about as much sense as coughing your way out of lung cancer.

Yesterday

I loved you so much yesterday;
Looking at the most beautiful choice I’ve made,
Holding your hand so that it would never escape,
Kissing you, needing no other reason to live,
Speaking your name, my love, my oxygen,
Making love as though I was starving,
Holding you as you slept, protecting my life.
I loved you so much today;
And did it all over again.

Television, radio, magazines, newspapers, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc.; we’re drowning in idiots and no one knows how to tread water, let alone swim.

Intellectual property is usually neither.

Living is Russian Roulette with six very slow bullets.

Disarmed

We’re born into a world of weapons;
Dramatic eyes and barbed tongues,
And no one’s aware that they’re both victim and killer.
We’ve disarmed the world;
This love is a spark, a fire, a supernova,
And no one’s aware that they’re losing their fight.

Our government hates our freedom.  The terrorists just hate our government.

begin, end, repeat

we’re always strangers when it starts
when arrows pierce our waiting hearts
we played our roles upon the stage
and thus this love belies our age
our whole is greater than its parts

we’re always strangers once it ends
these bodies held together friends
we loved as much as strangers could
and lived as much as lovers should
without regrets our love transcends

You spoke in that sound that only you speak,
Capturing, rapturing, ravaging me,
Fueling what fear sough to carry away:
One love, above all, that I strive for and seek.

I held you with foresight, I saw a great fire.
I thought that I saw that I lived with desire.
Hoping and praying that this was my fate:
Your love, so perfect, that it proved God a liar.

You kissed me and set all the demons ablaze.
Your mouth playing melodies fit to amaze.
My wonder, my truth, all this you became
Forever my heart and my life with you stays.
