lylas

one day for me one day for you
one day for me one day for you

give it up and put it down
tie a ribbon round your frown
see the end and see it clear
they'll be no complaining here
bye the way I'm off again
sending love notes to a friend
she won't miss me for a while
but I write them still with style

cut a lock and seal it in
hope she finds it with a grin
what I'd do to show her how
I still love her even now
after all's been said and done
and how she didn't need a gun
to shoot me dead on down to size
leaving red rings round my eyes

posting

some people want hot letterhead all over the place
blazing lines of he said and she said like merciless tides
killing vision with foggy verbage on flashing screens
till there are no i's and t's left to dot or cross your path

just once when we had names no one knew and faces unseen
there were mysteries to our identities and truths never told
we then shuddered to think this place could ever be so full
so crowded and bulging from years of voices in strung words

give up your clothes they matter not for everyone can see you
they all dance naked in space telling themselves its a network
its a path to knowledge to success to understanding each other
when the language has become so muddied there's no talking

only typing
