‘Til Death’

The whiskers aquiver
The tremulous shiver
Both serve to betray her excitement
She has a small ploy
She’s brought us her toy –
Now waiting for deserved requitement

She pleads with those eyes
That tug at your heart
You can’t ever stop if you choose to start
She knows that we know
That we both must throw
That toy ‘til death do us part

‘I Promise You’

It’s not that I didn’t want
To find myself
I promise you
I have been looking
But I fear the discovery
At the end of this maze
Like a sharp prick of truth
In an ocean of haze

Finally, I see
The answer was obvious
And full of sorrow
Where I’ve been hiding
From me all this time:
The clandestine land of
Tomorrow

‘Future Happy’

Took a pill for
Future happy
Doesn’t help with
Present sad
Took one
Yesterday as well
Didn’t stop me
Feeling bad
Pill is not a contract –
Just a wish in capsule form
A wish to insulate me –
World is cold
But I stay warm
I wish each day
For future happy
And sometimes
It works
Then other days
I hate these little
Orange bottle jerks
I do know this:
The present sad
Will pass as surely
As the bird will benefit
From the choice
To rise early
But I fear a simple truth
I’ve chosen not to see:
That the pill
Can only do so much
And the future happy
Has to come
From me
