could let me
down this hole
could find me
small and cold
could hold me
never bold
could leave me
flesh and soul

one alternative, and the

weather in joy or fear
this gift is just a curse

This gift is just a curse
Only if you curse it,
For a skunk can make a purse
if you just deoderizer it.

A sore thumb is lot better
Than having no thumb at all.
And even Cinderella in ashes
Had her prince come to call.

So just up and perk you chin,
And remember all you've had.
And promise you never ever
Will write a poem this bad.

Bad is good.
Good is all.
For truth is exposed,
both in rise
and in fall.
For a gift is a curse,
if given in contempt.
But a curse is a gift
if given with no resent.

if given with no resent it simply a persent
a gift is shinig pure
but if a curse is given with no thought to repent
is the devils surest lure

Is the devil's surest lure
safe for human kind?
Or will the vilest wiles
be such an overkill
to oversee
the cars overturned
on the brains overeasy
in Overland Park?
This will never blow over.

This will never blow over
this curse that some say
is a gift I should embrace
though I feel in the end
it will bring me to my knees
this curse I call a friend

this curse I call a friend

stretch the neck
about
the
corner of doubt

corner of doubt
plays about
the corners of my mind
I leave behind
all evil things
and grab the wings
of the dragon
and fly across
the moon
so soon
I wake
to find my
mistake
and settle for the morning

and settle for the morning
sun that shines through the window
saying rise and shine with me
the days adventures have begun

enhanced and laid
upon the silver shrine
jewels sparkle and shine
place one in each braid
a memorial to other days
when the earth was
bathed in the suns golden rays

bathed in the suns golden rays
hypnotic days
sudden sprays
revert
invert
saturate climbing spurt
huddled warm, happy beyond hurt
