Adrift in Ingles

hello my penguin of custard and candy hearts.
How many times I have wished to pull all the leaves
from our favorite garden and leave the weeds to dominate
this landscape. Remember? After playing the curves we would
discuss such objects as these. In a different time, some may say.
You were restless with your eyes and me,
my heart. Therefore, icebergs barely pass ships
and the passengers are on board sleeping.
Never to know, what mysteries float along
under the waves of moonlight.

Lost in Espanol

hola mi corazón pingüino de natillas y los dulces.
¿Cuántas veces he querido tirar todas las hojas
de nuestro jardín favorita y dejar las malas hierbas
a dominar el paisaje. ¿Te acuerdas? Después de jugar las curvas
que se discuten este tipo de objetos.
En un momento diferente, algunos pueden
decir. Se estaban inquietos con los ojos y yo,
de mi corazón.
Por lo tanto, los icebergs apenas pasan los barcos
y los pasajeros están a bordo de dormir.
No saber qué misterios flotar
en las ondas
de luz de luna.

Any Time You Want

Take all this life has to offer
Discount coupons
Limited specials
As much as you can...
No one is promised
To gaze out upon the eyes
Of your one, true love;
Your heart's deep-set desire
This world is not my home
I am not alone
Nor do I dictate the decisions
Shaping the curve of your time line
Build your fortress
Stockpile your defense
For a day; someday
In full global retaliation
When there is no longer
Left the softest breeze
Rustling the leaves
On the branches of the trees
Causing the bluebirds to sing
And their song to ring
And their song to ring

Weed Control Services


In plain speak: she asked for someone to come and do something
She could not or did not want to do herself
In short, she wanted extra help around the house
Not to complicate the situation
Or confound the present standard
She even attempted to employ a poet
To monitor the property
And dabble in horticultural landscaping
Though never under contract, per se
He stuck in there
As well as could be expected
Even her own children
Had abandoned their birthright
And out rightly broke the fourth commandment
As prescribed by the Creator
Of the known universe
