xmas

love and joy and peace on earth
celebrating someones birth
forget the boxes and the bows
everyday please give me those

the poem tonight
may be the last i write
with no tomorrow
comes no more sorrow

today

some tears come slower than others
some take a lifetime to drop
some lights shine brighter than lovers
sometimes its just time to stop

my eyes dont hurt
my throats not sore
but my life is short
and my souls a whore

gimme sleep, gimme dreams
not the bite of benzadrines
gimme peace and total rest
tomor ill do my very best

12-12-12

now i lay be down to die
you may stop and wonder why
you may go your merry way
i may die another day
