Status Updates From The Talking Horse and the S...

"My star will rage
and I will match you step for step
in the midday sun
and haunt you in this black coat
through my watches of the night.

I'm your best friend,
but the more I get to know of you,
the more I like myself."

"Don't let yourself be swept away. The same fire
burned in me when I was young, and wrecked
those golden days by driving me to write
those poems in the white heat of the moment.

But I would gladly change those bitter lines
into a sweet song and strike out every harsh word
if you give me back your heart
and be my lover."

Lullaby

Starlight, star bright
Lie in this cradle of night
and sleep tight

Sea shell, sea swell
Ring the church bell
for all is well

Sundown, sunrise
Nothing dies
so close your eyes
