in an infinite universe, i found you

what are the odds?

then,

in an infinite universe, i lost you

what are my odds?

&nbs...

the doctor called it

cardiac dementia

'cause your love for me is

in absentia

last night i dreamed we were flying

suddenly we began to fall

slowly at first

soon faster and faster

then i woke up

and

you anesthetized me

with your beauty

then

unknownst to me

our bed became an operating table

and with the finest precicion

...

the rains came too late

to wash away my sins

i find myself in the desert now

and the sin encrusts my skin

i no longer ask forgiveness

...

the longing is finally gone

he poured out his heart for her

but when he's all alone

he still kinda shorts for her

the sorrow is sublime

the pain is perfection

your love is a tomb

there will be no resurrection

i want to unknow all the things i have known

i want to unsow all the seeds i have sown

i want to unfeel all the things i have felt

i want to undeal all the an...

pain purifies

pain clarifies

but before pain calcifies

let pain die

You were my Cleopatra

I was your Anthony

Beguiled by your Kama Sutra

You charmed the pants off me

remember that time when life was perfect?

remember when we had everything?

remember when we loved each other

at the same time?

me neither

she filleted me like a frigging flounder

feeling flummoxed and flat as a fritter

flip flopping feebly til i foundered

forever fighting to forget her

she gently grabbed his hand

her head lowered, so he wouldn't see the tears

she quietly said, "please tell me the truth...please"

she began to sob

...

Free (1969)

It was the summer of ’69

When I laid my eyes upon you

Underneath that Texa...

after interviewing eye witnesses

the police sketch artist drew a composite

of the person who stole my heart

it looked just like you

you said your love was forever

when in fact, it was for:

28 years, 3 months, and 4 days, 22 hours, and 36 seconds...

but who's counting?

remember when you stole my heart?

i reported it to the love police

they recovered my heart in a dumpster

i asked if i could have it back

but they'...

he played the game hard

and often well

she would pick him up

whenever he fell

but one day he fell

"If you loved me, you'd love me," she said.

i gave you my heart

but you wanted more

so i gave you my liver

which made me quite sore

then you had the gall

to ask for my bladder

in a dreamtime i awoke

and found myself alone

i began to cry and then you spoke

you whispered, "i am gone"

our love ended, not with a bang

nor with a whimper

but as strangers falling off a mountain

looking up 

seeing ourselves

fading......

behold the lonely raven

whose lady friend took flight

without just caws it seems

so he cries by himself each night

i asked if h...

i bet my heart i could forget you

my heart is a sore winner

i can't bridge this chasm between us

no matter how hard i try

your heart cannot span the emptiness

no matter how much you cry

love's rubble and ru...

(originally: aka, "crazy dick")

the doctor said it was

penile dementia

'cause ...

i remember that look

you smiled your stunning smile

i was in love

i remember that look

you looked up at me with those eyes

i reached for you 

but you were gone

and when i awoke

it was 30 years later

The sign said:

"Broken Hearts/We Buy and Sell"

I reluctantly entered

So many hearts upon the shelves

Cracked and splintered

I asked, "...

in my dream, i looked at the calendar

there was no Sunday, Monday, Tuesday

there was only Bluesday

every day of the week

every day of the year

he entered the church after the ceremony had started

stood in the back where no one noticed him

the preacher said "you may now kiss the bride"

The Heart Police made a "cardiac arrest" last night for "indecent exposure."  Apparently your heart filed charges.

My heart asked, "What about her heart...isn't 'breaking and en...

The first time I saw you
You took my breath away
Turned day into night
Turned night into day

As years went by<...

"Going out of business! Everything must go!" her heart exclaims.

"Liquidating all inventory! Door closing forever!"" it shouts.

Soon the lights begin going off one by one...

a secret unkept

a path unknown

no penance for the unrepentant

no grace for the graceless

purgatory will not purge

this thing inside

She left. He shut down.

His heart shut down; his nervous system shut down; his mind shut down. 

He quit his perfect job. Quit his no longer perfect life. Gave all of...

She knew about the darkness falling every night

She always made it through; never came undone

But no one ever told her about the eclipse

Now she feels so hope...

i see the wind

the molecules, quarks and quirks

trillions of tiny tempests

tendrils tearing 'til it hurts

i feel the colors

You broke apart my piñata heart

Your love a ten foot pole

You beat and bashed it from the start

'Til out fell my dying soul.

on the lake that night

there was you and me

oh, and i remember a moon

and i remember a tree

and i remember a kiss

and i remember a pro...

I saw a flock of flying hearts

Heading south for the long harsh winter

I heard  the crying sounds above

Then my heart took flight for the land of hinter<...

In my dream you were flying

"I'll miss you," you said

And as I awake, crying

I see a feather on our bed.

I lost time

So much time

Minute by minute

Hour by hour

Day by day

Clocks ticking, calendar pages turning

And it all added ...

In the end he grew so weary

The quest for love was just too dreary

So he opened up his rib cage

To set his sad heart free

But h...

I wonder:

Is black a color?

Or just the absence of light?

Is it all the colors combined

In the middle of the night?

Does your heart re...

As their love re-entered the atmosphere

It threw off sparks

Bright and brilliant

Into the night sky

Burning so hot

Then fading

The sun forsook the day

The moon forsook the night

The clouds forsook the sky

Dark overtook the light

When

Your heart forsook my love<...

As his heart grew sadder and sadder

His brain said:

"Man, some memories just don't matter."
