5/9/2010 - Faded fabric

The honeymoon is over,
it's time to see the faded fabric,
The spark has dimmed.
There's a pile of smiles a mile high
I could paste on at any time.
I've seen the fervor fade.

5/8/2010 - Waiting on the rain

The storm is moving overhead,

the rain, coming down,

I've got nine floors to go.

Racing past elevator doors,

across the lobby,

to the street below.

I've been waiting for you,

waiting for the storm,

I'm chasing the rain.

I may be a fool to have waited.

The storm is long past,

The opportunity gone.

The rain drumming down,

pounding on my skull,

just a memory.

5/7/2010 - Sic transit gloria mundi

Time to queue up in the line again.
One more moment of wasted time,
is wasting mine away.

We've got too much time or not enough.
Remember how to breathe.
Once your chest rises gravity takes over,
we're not a beat away from the fire.
We could be two beats until,

We've got just enough time to spend.
Not enough time to waste.
Just enough to make it last,
until the music fades.

There's too much time or not enough.
Don't forget how to breathe.
Once your chest rises gravity takes over.
We are one heart beat away.
Just enough time, just enough.
