Tennessee Cabin
I dream of a log cabin in the mountains of Tennessee
With a porch and a balcony
With all natural frontier scenery
A lover in the bedroom waiting for me
Next to a quiet sunlit library
Across from the game room furnished with a couch and tv
Next to a dining room of candlelit intimacy
By a bathroom across from the laundry
To give the necessary practicality
To create an Edenic fantasy

Art
The soul and spirit has only one destiny
That they meet their mortality
All things tangible have this reality
But our message and passions live on
Living active in society when our bodies are gone
Leaving its mark on each generation
The things that last forever are the things of the heart
Purity gives eternity to what you start
And lives forever as art

Romantic Initiative Problems (RIP)
Recognizing love is the hardest thing to do
Next to analyzing the other person's point of view
Knowing what you want doesn't make it easy to find
Especially when moving forward and looking behind
Every possibility miscalculated is a failure
But you can't risk an opportunity just because you're not sure
But gut assumptions often lose to practical doubt
And you're over-comed looking for the easy way out
And it feels safer to submit to silent self rejection
As an emotional form of ego protection
