am i feelin the love ?
another valentines day
and i'm happy to say
no
febuary 14th
is like the kiss of death
as far as love goes.
for me anyway
this year i think
i'll just love myself
and not fret over others feelings
that are subject to change,
and always do.

i liked the way
you took the blame.
the demon is you.
hey ... you said it.
I only listened
it's funny how,
and when
god steps in
and forgives our sins.
was he gentel nippy ?
he must have let you
whisper in your mothers ear
"please bring me home mama"
because that's where you will be.
where it all began.
ashes to ashes.
you've brightened our lifes.
dust to dust.
we'll carry you in our hearts always.
may gods grace carry you up.

this is not my world,
my world was replaced.
plexy-glass and collage grad screws,
and 12 step slang with a sprinkle of guilt.
ingrediants of doom.
so take your fucking opinion
and hop on your broom,
and fly the fuck out'a my hell.
i have enough shit in my way,
so just go away.

a get away
self induced peace
total release
no responsibility
i look down
and see my feet
toes over the edge
street far below
i take a deep breath
cool air fills my lungs
i gently close my eyes
and allow gravity
to do what gravity does
i pray for gods forgiveness
i slip into the water
with barely a splash
i should have been on the diving team
i swim towards the surface
the sounds of my childhood greet me
as i break the surface of the water
it's a sunny day in 1966
at the creston park swimming pool
everybody is there
i get out of the pool and run over to my dad
he towels me off and pulls a t-shirt over my head
i wave to my friends as we head for home together
like fathers and sons do
as gods grace shines
