Hush or Easy Living or Anything But Untitled

Once I saw it bloom
Sprout a personality
It shifted and swayed
Gave into the wind's pushy hands
I wanted to wear a suit to fit in
Follow the sidewalk's current
I combed my hair and
Looked to practice my handshake
I bend and tighten
Place impressive fingerprints
On unimpressive memories
Eyes can be so cruel
Men and women pushing 50
Looking at me like I'm stoned
Forgive, forget, smile, wave, fun
I'm scared to stay
There goes a life I never knew
And probably never wanted.

Romantic

Water your plants
Comb your hair
Tonight is a fine night to impress
Tie your shoes
Tuck in your sheets
Maybe tonight I will find the sun
And it will shine down on me
Warm, willing and waiting
I swim through liquid oxygen
Over to a promise
She makes me think of something french
I extend a hand; an invitation
Smile, nod
Decline
Water your plants
Comb your hair
Tomorrow you should try again
Tie your shoes
Tuck in your sheets
Don't you dare drown
Sun, the moon has kidnapped you
I want to feel warmth
I want to lust for her skin
Sun, when will I see you again?
