1.

she calls out to me

in her thoughts as I do to

her when we're apart.

2.

it was just another day

when out of the ordinary

glass rain began to fall

just as I had predicted

the night before in my dream,

it was just another wish

unlike any other when

the earth opened-up and

swallowed all my dreams

and as I tried, one-by-one

to recreate them I realized

they were all gone for good.

3.

the cold radiates through

my body chilling my

heart and all feelings

over which I had control,

it was an indication of

an uneasiness that would

center itself in my life

until the arrival of spring,

I was in hibernating plant.

4.

I wanted to change my name

but in so thinking realized

I would have to change my face,

it was not that my face

was a particular good one,

it was too familiar to me.

5.

this year has started off with

no surprises and no one there

for me to reach out and touch,

it's the same every year

and I always want it to change.

6.

it was you that I wanted

not someone else...

not one of these bar-tending ones

not one of those "easy" kind,

it was you with your faults

and your simple but accurate ways,

that I knew would be mine

if I could be patient and wait.

7.

there were shots ringing

off in the woods...

three I think I heard,

wondering who the fourth

one was for since the

first three were for me.

8.

there was a thick skin I

saw lying in the road

on the way to Hyco lake,

there was a list of reasons

for procrastinating lying

out there also and I

wanted it to be a resolution.

9.

under cover my wishes are

remaining there for you to find

and with each one that you locate

I will be your love-slave

for a month...  and each one that

you miss...  you'll be mine.

10.

my thoughts are of you

my dreams are of us

both will never come true

for I fear my luck has ended.
