the cactus and balloon fell in love and couldn't stop.

but when they kissed,

an unfortunate miss,

ended their love with a pop. 

 

The International Date Line

Where you can experience tomorrow today!

the rain kept falling and falling that day

until the rainbow was soaked and it too, washed away. 

my adult brain can't remember

what my kid heart won't forget. 

Though many though he'd be quite good,

The centipede did not compete in races

because one hundred feet

And zero hands

makes it difficult to tie sh...

hold me close,

fly me far,

help me light the way.

The little boy wondered why his tears were salty.

The mermaid girl wondered why hers weren't. 

my shadow once asked that i leave on the light,

so that it could stay with me, connected and near

"if the lights go away, only darkness is left!

and if left i...

and the breeze, tangled in the dandelions, sprinkled the garden with stars that night. 

when blankets shiver in the night

or cry out loud from terrible fright

your body protects them from things that creep,

cradling them into undisturbed sleep.&n...

I was told to be careful,

and was warned about life's dangers.

But how do we make friends

if we refuse to talk to strangers?

they call me a bush,

though i wish they could see

when i stretch out my branches

I'm really a tree. 

the coral corral

keeps the seahorses in

as they graze on sea-pastures of shrimp. 

the best life for a horse

is under water, of course,

As the grapes were being crushed, all they did was whine. 

No matter how sharp I am,

no matter how many mistakes I erase,

I'll always be #2. 

The board game felt jaded.

...The same old pieces,

the same old rules...

Same old bored game.

The aliens came today.

Not to take over the world or destroy mankind...

... But to borrow a cup of sugar.

we spent our lives working on this friend ship 

when one day, we ran into a problem.

and we've been drifting ever since. 

when i read between your lines

you seem to disappear. 

The imagination is more infinite than 

The universe is more infinite than

The imagination is more infinite than

The universe

The yo-yo's relationships were generally pretty stable. 

If we keep running west, today will never end.

Many thanks to Todd for keeping mystories logical! 

he knew he was getting nickel and dimed. 

grandpas box, big and heavy

was labeled 'zombie survival kit'

inside i found whiskey, 

a bible and gun and a note that said

'dont get bit'.

and when he gave his heart away,

his skin and bones and flesh decayed,

and he waited there, in lonely strife

for his heart to return his body to life. 

the ketchup and mustard

did relish each other so

said the ketchup one day, "I love you!"

the mustard, so taken

by 'Chup's sweet declaration,<...

Let's leave the dust on the windowsill

for an hour or maybe two.

Maybe she's waiting for a package or a friend...

or perhaps just enjoying the view. 

at first, i thought my ribcage was supposed to protect my heart from getting broken.

now i realize it's a prison, punishing my heart for breaking yours.

I have a lot of trouble finishing things. I usually start them and then

My dream is to be the one you dream about. 

earthquakes aren't caused by plate tectonics,

they're just shivers from the earth, when the sun's not on it.

on your hands there are trails of an unexplored map,

leading me on a grand adventure. 

Santa! Sweet Santa! Come find me on Christmas!

Although I confess I won't be in my bed.

Santa, sweet Santa, wiggle down my brick chimney!

For the only thing I...

Maybe the light wouldn't seem so bright if we spent less time in the dark. 

As I walked away, I thought I heard your footsteps chasing after me...

It was just the beginning of a rainstorm. 

the space between my fingers is space for your fingers.
