[Dream]


Oh, what a sweet young loving boy

So mature for his age I got it bad

I wish I had some tactic to deploy

Oh, how I want that strapping lad


I’ll dream about him if I don’t go after him

I’ll dream about him day and night

For to me his voice is a soft pleasant hymn

I’ll dream about him with all my might


Per chance to dream with him I’ll close my eyes

And whisper his name softly until I sleep

I’ll sleep with his name coming in sighs

Then simply dream of us being in an ocean’s deep


Oh, how I dream of what we’d do if we were

We would laugh and talk for hours on end

And I’d play with his hair’s blonde curl

Oh, if I could at least be his distant friend


For now I guess I’ll dream about his eyes of blue

I’ll hold onto my pillow with all my might

For now closing my eyes and dreaming is all I can do

I simply don’t know if, for him, I’d fight


2

[The Easiest Peach]


I’m a sweet little boy if you got to know me

I never curse or speak above a whisper publicly

And should a nice boy come around the highway

I’m not hard to astound on any given day

You see I’m a very simple boy with feelings

I’m not a fool; I’m one of few noble human beings


Other boys require money and material gifts

They want items and to talk on phones as time drifts

I’m never blinded by love or lose my reason

Yet, if a boy were to work hard enough I’d sweeten

I’m too easy to amaze or easy to impress for sure

I’m the easiest peach. It’s amazing I’m still pure.


My little heart twirls and spins inside my chest

And I do beg it to take a minute to simply rest

Yet it insists that it wants another heart to spin with

Oh, it’s so easy to amaze me. Loneliness is now a myth

The easiest peach to astound and then tear out the pit

Yet there’s a thing I like about being struck by love’s hit


3

[Dear Heart, Shut Up Already!]


I fear

Oh dear

Heart of mine

Gossip to quietly dine

Of emotions running wild

There’s nothing here that’s mild

I’ll soon go insane of love and self hate

There’s an emotion I have come to create

There is here an organ that I’ve grown to so hate

What a fickle creature I have been now of late

A creature no one can ever love nor hate

My organ of pain and love is my heart

How I wish to tear it apart

Dearest Heart of mine,

What bloody will is thine?

To leave me broken and alone here?

So love can now give me unending fear?

To make me hate my very own soul and mind

Old and wishing for some happiness I’ll never find

Dear Heart, shut up already ‘fore I die of lonely pain

Please, stop around a sweet boy. Please, be sane

Please, leave my happy loneliness in peace

Before in tears soak my bed’s fleece

Please, shut up already

Heart, now don’t be so bloody heavy

My world is too young for things like this

Heart, please, leave me in peace and unloving bliss

Heart, could you help me win over a boy’s sweet kiss?

I’ve used my mind these days of late but you see

There’s a boy who brings me warmth and joy

I’m scared I’ll be used as some sort of toy

But for now, dear Heart, help me

Because you’ll come to see

Love is a nice blast

While it does last

So come now

Feel an ow

Of love

[Just Fell For The Enemy]


Who would have thought that somebody like you

Would be some form of an aspiring republican

That you would be here making me feel so blue

And that you’re actually a devout Christian

How could you do this to me right now of all times?

Right when my heart began to pull away from my chest

And I was thinking of you in loving rhymes

How dare you show me your family’s crest?!


I believed only in your bloody words so sweet

You were using the little charm in your bloody body

To so easily sweep me off my young and trusting feet

Now you release this to me so awfully

I feel like you’ve thrust a jagged knife into my heart

It makes me scream in disbelief and raging anger so strong

I am only two moments from falling apart

The fact that my heart still longs for you is what is so wrong!


You’ve branded my heart and my mind so thoroughly

I believe everything you say, and I won’t believe what I see

I can’t believe myself I fell for the disgusting enemy

It’s a sickening thrill that you have brought to me

All the things you say against me and my beliefs and rights

It feels good to know that you love me enough not to lie

Bringing me all sorts of dirty and self contradicting nights

Why am I with you still giving this thing a bloody try?


I just fell for the enemy and I cry and yell in absolute anger

I fell for the enemy who’s every thought and voice of reason

Is to me a polar opposite and to my heart a grave danger

I feel that being around you is a form of the highest treason

Oh, what am I still doing here chasing you and all your mess?

How could I think that you would like me or I ever love you?

I just fell for the enemy and how all of this brings me such stress

I just fell for the enemy of my people. What will I ever do?


5

[Hate Your Words, Love You Though]


You are the polar opposite of everything I believe in

Oh, but I still want your body and to commit such sin

How dare you be so attractive yet so stupid and strange?

If I had a sense of judgment I’d push you away in rage

So, why do your hands caress my back while I kiss your lips?

How is it that we’re here rotating against each other’s hips?


Curse everything that you believe in and may your words die

However, take on me and kiss my lips for I wouldn’t ever lie

How I hate your words and everything that you do stand for

I want to stand by you and stay even if blood hits the floor

My chest could explode of self contradiction and hate for you

Yet if I lost you my world would go gray, and my skin blue


How I hate your words, and somehow to love everything in you

There’s nothing about you I could love in any way that’s true

There are however, a few things I could quickly learn to hate

I hate you, but there’s an affection you have come to create

Shut up, and don’t speak your thoughts for now just kiss me

What’s to come whether hate or love we’ll have to wait to see


6

[Your Arms]


So many men and women have dreamt of it

While other’s waste their lives for such a thing

I wonder what I did to so comfortably sit

Sit in my idea of Heaven while you lovingly sing


Your arms are my reason for living and my bliss

Where I’m rewarded for nothing by your scent

In your arms I have your weak biceps to kiss

We talk of things in life until the sun’s fire is spent


This is where I could spend a million moons

Your arms feel like they could hold me eternally

This is where I can rush to lick my wounds

Even though I doubt I’m here deservingly


The book of Romans and the Book of Mormon

Spoke of Heaven in their many self adoring pages

But I’m in Heaven in the arms of my man

In your arms I could lay and sleep for a million ages


Come rest your chin upon my jet black hair

Wrap your protecting arms around me chest

Let me rest myself on you and breathe your air

In your sweet arms I wish to stay forever pressed


7

[Stupid, Sweet, and Smart]


Everything you are angers me so much

But there is that something in your touch

I might go insane, but you’re the person

Who helps me somehow see any reason

You are stupid. Your words are all lies

Yet, you’re sweet with only a few tries

You’re smart, and with you my heart flies


You’re so stupid, sweet, and smart

Your voice of no reason has my heart

How could you be such a mixture of things?

Oh how your stupidity has me on strings

I’m your little puppet and I know you’re smart

Smart you control me. Sweet you have my heart

Such a mixture might make me fall apart


Such a sweet and pleasant boy you are to me

Obsessed with video games that I hate to see

Modest when it comes to your precious looks

Sweetly you’ve got me nailed by your hooks

Such an evil bitter sweet taste you bring to me

To remove your evil hooks upon my heart I plea

Or I might push your hooks tighter into me


Stupid for you have nothing intelligent to say

Am I some sort of game you like to play?

Sweet for you make me blush and say sweet rhymes

How you make me contradict myself a million times

Now to contradict my own beliefs once more

I’ll say that you’re smart with a mind I adore

So sweet that if I lost you I’d hit the floor

So stupid I should make you walk out the door


8

[War Against Loving Flesh]


I’ve come to learn that you’re horrid

The contrast between us is almost morbid

And your thoughts are so vile and wrong

How is it that this love for you is so strong?

We are two people who should hold bitterness

Should I wage a war against you in happiness?


A war against loving flesh using arms that once held you

A war with which I would happily execute and go through

War against loving flesh is something that you would win

Then I’d rise to destroy you like victory had never been

In the end I’d win a fight, for you may be stronger than me

But my heart would turn to steel and vanquish you easily


For now we’ll quietly agree to disagree on a silent night

Knowing that if not careful we’d hate each other in might

A war against loving flesh will not occur

As long as our patience for each other is sure

There is peace still to enjoy in your arms

As I ignore your mind and focus on your charms


9

[Keep Your Lips Sealed]


What you did is unforgivable

My mercy is now impossible

You can do nothing to heal this

This is an act I cannot dismiss

Keep your lips sealed and help yourself

For any word you speak risks your health


I am immune to your blasted eyes

I am immune to your ridiculous lies

So, keep quiet before you lose a ball

Keep your lips sealed they are my downfall

Leave my sight before I’m rash

And on the floor we both thrash


Don’t use your lips for they are two lies

Don’t make me look into your young eyes

For they are my downfall back to you

And then you’d leave me lonely and blue

I’m not a simple toy that you can chew

Your love is a lie and your mouth is too


Keep your lips sealed, and please walk off

Keep them sealed, and don’t make me scoff

I will tell you to use your best defense

Right now your biggest help is silence

Keep your poisonous word quiet

‘Fore I ensue a vengeful one man riot


10

[Not Better Than You]


What was I thinking when we kissed?

I thought we wouldn’t be left so pissed.

Your words and all your trash has tired me

I’ve had enough of your stubborn brutality

My only regret now is letting you in so far

So, I must beat you out with a metallic bar


I’ll let your lies fall away like sand

May your people rejoice throughout the land

Let you forget all the love that I gave

So that my heart doesn’t entirely cave

I know that my days without you will be dark

Only at first, and then you’ll only be one more mark


I’m not saying that I’m better than you

Yet, I know that I never let you go blue

However, you insisted on saving your face

Now I’ll forget you. You won’t leave a trace

So go off and live in your ignorant bliss

You know you won’t get a farewell kiss


May your family forget my name soon

I’ll be like the shine of the night’s moon

I’ll touch your skin only a moment so slight

Which will be to expose the filth of the night

Then the sun will rise throughout the lands

Assuring you never again feel my small hands


My thoughts were foolish, young, and desperate

I wasn’t keeping wisdom and feelings separate

So, my heart felt the consequences of my idiocy

Now I realize you never took me seriously

You played with my emotions without remorse

And here’s the simple message I now endorse


May your houses burn to the ground

And your screams be clear and sound

Let Angels nod their head in shame to you

May destiny leave you nothing good to do

And should you be dyeing of boredom and misery

Consider it a historic piece of man’s moral victory


What you did to me was an unspeakable act

So, this is how I now lovingly do react

May fires lick at your hands in the night

And may your world fill with horrid fright

I’ll see you in hell’s beauty when I die

Seeing you suffer will make my heart fly


My screams in the dark and tears of heartbreak

Are a thing that destiny will personally take

Turn it over to the hands of time and insanity

They’ll hear my wish and treat you with brutality

The brutality that you felt nice to give me

Your tears will be lights in the dark I wish to see


Then you’re world will fall around you and leave you

Like Adolf Hitler you’ll be left cold and blue

You’ll want to commit suicide to end it all

You know that if you died I would be crushed and fall

So, may you live long and healthy, you heartless pig

For you broke my young heart like a fallen twig


I don’t have a mind to say I’m better than you

You should go live your life. Leave me here blue.

On the day of your wedding in twenty years

I have foreseen no hair will frame your ears

On the day you die I have foreseen in ninety years

The people will shed absolutely no tears


I won’t say that I’m better than you. We don’t compare

You took my young trust and turned it into a cruel snare

May your bridges burn and your moneys fall away

Once you come back to me begging forgiveness one day

I’ll look down at you and say the truth. I forgave you

Decades ago I forgave you. You only get what is due


11

[The Spark of June]


I bumped into you on a hot June day

You had just happened to stray my way

I sensed from your smile you were gay

And your name was so nice to say

It was the spark of June for me and you

From then on I would never again be blue


Now we skip across the dirt path under the sun

I gaze at your handsome smile as we slowly run

Holding onto your fingers which hold onto mine

Reveling in the feel of your young skin so fine

In the spark of June I can skip for hours in bliss

Then when we come to a halt we meet in a kiss


Even when you told me you would be gone soon

I didn’t cry or make a frown on our last afternoon

Now you fly away from my city to your farm

Without leaving my heart in any form of harm

The spark of June, oh, I can still feel it on my lips

As my memory doesn’t allow it to leave me in slips


I wait for the day for you to come back to me

To manifest a love I wish to once more see

The day on which I’ll hold your hand and smile

So we may skip through the fields for over a mile

The spark of June will return before I know

Bringing back my cheek’s happy red glow


12

[Your Charm]


The charm of you

Amazes me

Your eyes’ blue hue

Intoxicates me


Your manly charm

An unforgiving force

My poor heart’s harm

Is the idea of our divorce


For in my mind we love

Yes, in my mind we kiss

And we will be together above

For your presence is bliss


13

[Chase]


How could I ever contain myself from you?

If I didn’t chase after you what else what I do?

So, if you don’t want me I will persist

I’ll do everything so you can’t resist


I’ll chase after you until my legs shake

You’ll have to learn to love me because I’m not leaving

Should you tell me to scram I won’t break

Because my feelings aren’t receding


I feel it’s been ages since I said how I felt

So, let me say you’re a hell of a catch, dear

Even if you’re not all that hot and svelte

You’re to me like the finest cut meat of dear


So, I’ll chase after you with all my might

I’ll follow you to the highest mountain tops

One day I’ll hold you with love into the night

And you’ll stop leaving me behind in slops


14

[Without Resting]


Oh geez what darling eyes that boy has

I want to know what he likes in a gal

I wonder if I might make a little pass

He’s so sweet, I think I shall


However, should he deny me how will I live?

Should a creature of such beauty not like me

I think I would die and never want to revive

There is a love here that I want him to see


I’ll pursue him without resting even a minute

And should he slap and yell at me to leave

To failure I won’t allow myself to submit

So, I’ll wipe away my tears on my dirty sleeve


May he kick at me and yell my name in hate

I’ll be a fool and simply think of what I did wrong

And then more words of love I’ll demonstrate

Even sing to him some sort of love song


I’ll cry and worry for him without rest

No matter how many times he’ll shoo me away

For his love I’ll stand up to time’s test

I’m after for him without resting all night and day


15

[When I Get My Yes]


I’ve tried everything loving in the book

Still you don’t give me a second look

It’s not enough to wait for you for hours

Or give you, over me, absolute powers

I still must say all the right things to you

And hope that you answer me sweet and true

I have dark circles from waiting so long

Now, I feel like I am being treated wrong

The strange part of this affair is however

That if you asked I’d still wait for you forever


I have asked you only once to take my hands

And you know that the question still stands

You can make me wait a million years

That I won’t last is one of my only fears

So, I’m dying to see when I’ll get my Yes

And when I get my yes I’ll love you in a mess

I’ll show you all the ways I can care for you

And show that with me you’ll never be blue

When I get my yes I’ll show you all your traits

And let open my love’s flood gates


When I get my yes, I’ll fall from my feet

And tell you I love you because you’re so sweet

You’re sweet as a million pieces of chocolate mints

That one takes and swallows with sour patch kids

I love you because you know exactly what to do

And exactly what to say to pull me out of any blue

So, when I get my yes I’ll lift you in my arms

And kiss you away from all your life’s harms

When I get my yes I’ll stay with you for life

And help you in all your life’s horrid strife


16

[To A Screeching Halt]


How things rushed to amazing heights

Nobody ever told me the rules of love

I didn’t know to be coy with my feelings

So, I told you and acted upon my heart

Now I think I shred all my chances apart

So, I’ll ask you if for a while we could

Possibly bring all these matters that are out

Back in, and to a screeching halt


To turn back the hands of time

To start again from the click we had

I would be smarter should we go back

I know very well that I’m just a fool

Trust me when I say I feel like a tool

So, let’s bring everything to a screeching halt

Start from the line: “Hey, what’s your name?”

And give me the chance be a little suave


17

[Love]


There isn’t much I know about love humans at all

Just that I feel strongly for somebody and I fall

What strange creature humans are and always been

We connect with each other so tightly it should be sin


I don’t know if I’ve ever felt love but in my mind

It’s something I dearly crave to one day find

How I dream, chase, and then connect with another

Is something that is strange it leaves a bother


Love, what a strange emotion to be spoken of

So many humans who blame love on a God above

While others speak of it as if speaking of a game

Do we all feel love in a way that’s the same?


I say “No”, and thusly whatever it is I feel

I can call love without any repeal

That is my outlook on love and matters of such

Love. I actually care about it very much.


18

[Jelly Beans]


Jelly beans all of such beautiful colors spill

I see your eyes looking at them in a thrill

I stare at you and with joy I now fill


Jelly beans so sweet and surprisingly small

We grab them and throw them up so tall

Catch them in your teeth as they fall


Jelly beans from an All Organics Store across town

All the money they did cost me gives me a frown

You make me richer than a king with a crown


Jelly beans start to roll across the floor

For we lay against the bedroom door
