The Mystery of The Dirty House


You clean
You vacuum
You wash the walls
The floors
The mirrors
The dirty hall
You mop
You sweat
You wipe the sink
The beds
The laundry
No time to think
And finally, when the job is done
You turn around in shock
You're stunned
The house you worked
so hard to clean
You made it shimmer
You made it gleam
Someone walked
Right through the door
And thoroughly messed up
That nice clean floor
Ate some lunch
then took a shower
Your clean house undone
in less than an hour
All that work
You must start anew
for someone else
to come un-do

The String of A Heart


The sting of a heart string
rings loud and true
Fire burns within my soul
at the mere thought of loving you
Can't we skip the games
that others seem to play
Let go and be free
Free to love our own way
Strip our masks away
and stand eye to eye, soul to soul
Showing every blessing and flaw
Loving true, complete, and whole
