Heavy

Heavy hands, heavy heart,
heavy eyes in the dark
If I knew how, I’d give it up
Wait for – embrace, incremental change
It feels so slow, so strange

But you know me, impatiently
running, knotted at the feet
Yeah, you know me, sensitively

feeling every tiny beat
the rhythm of my life

Corrupt hands, upended cart
When did I do my part?
But I forgive, I now forgive
And stand looking forward to the prize
giving and sharing this new life…

Love is Hard

Love is hard
Love is deep
It will pierce your soul
It will make you weep

Love is hard
The price is steep
It will take your heart
It will make you weak

Yet- you would give it all
For a little more
’cause love is air
And even more

Like rain on a sunny day
Nourishing your soul
Love is life
It makes you whole.

Sourdough.

Yeah, you don’t
hear me say it enough
Yeah, I know
it is you that I love

Open the door
for my distinct pleasure
Give me more
more than I can measure

Ohh sourdough you rock me
You make me eat so hasty
your chewy crust mocks me
with your texture and tasty… pleasure

Awww yeah you
make me salivate too
Damn, it’s true
Never too much of you

Piled so high
layered with turkey and cheese
I can’t lie
Mustard makes me beg, PLEASE!

My Panini
grilled, hot, melted I love you
I’m not skinny
but baby, I don’t blame you

Ohh sourdough you rock me
Your inside is white and pasty
your chewy crust mocks me
with your delicious and tasty… pleasure
