SOUL MATES IN THE RAIN
The boys all love you
But what you need to know
I’m not some other
Sweet talking romeo
I care more deeply
Never pin you down
You’ll decide freely
If you want me around
We’re star crossed lovers
Soul mates in the rain
There’s that connection
Logic can’t explain
I can’t control this
It’s bigger than my pride
But if i tell you
I’m afraid you’ll run and hide
I know you love me
Clues are everywhere
But you keep insisting to me
That you play solitaire
We’re star crossed lovers
Soul mates in the rain
There’s that connection again
No logic can explain
Star crossed lovers
Soul mates in the rain
There’s nothing that we can lose
And everything to gain

That Weekend
THAT WEEKEND
I wanted to take you downtown
Cause you don’t know your way around
But the city changes every day
And I might not even find our way
We went in circles on the subway line
Spent hours on the lower east side
Found vinyl at the record store
Got an armful but there’s always more
That weekend
Wish it would never end
We can walk
Don’t even have to talk
That weekend
Wish it could never end
I have a plan I want to hold your hand
This is my dream come true
Breathing the same air with you
We’re free to do whatever we like
Go anywhere stay up all night
We said goodbye and then we kissed
You held onto my hand a bit
Walking over to fifth avenue
you know I’m so in love with you
That weekend
Wish it would never end
We can walk
Don’t even have to talk
That weekend
It doesn’t have to end
We’ve got plans
To do it all again
I wanted to take you downtown
Cause you don’t know your way around
But the city changes every day
And I might not even find our way
We went in circles on the subway line
Spent hours on the lower east side
Found vinyl at the record store
Got an armful but there’s always more
That weekend
Wish it would never end
We can walk
Don’t even have to talk
That weekend
Wish it could never end
I have a plan I want to hold your hand
This is my dream come true
Breathing the same air with you
We’re free to do whatever we like
Go anywhere stay up all night
We said goodbye and then we kissed
You held onto my hand a bit
Walking over to fifth avenue
you know I’m so in love with you
That weekend
Wish it would never end
We can walk
Don’t even have to talk
That weekend
It doesn’t have to end
We’ve got plans
To do it all again
What If I Never Saw You
WHAT IF I NEVER SAW YOU
I want to see something in the dark
I want to be somewhere from the start
I want to be perfect in your mind
I want us to be happy all the time
It must be love, but it’s not real
It can’t be love if it’s not real
What if I never saw you in that light
An incandescent halo in the night
The vagaries of random circumstance
The power to disable or enhance
I’ll be more specific when we chat
Right now I don’t know what I’m getting at
It must be love, but it’s not real
It can’t be love if it’s not real
I want to see something in the dark
I want to be somewhere from the start
I want to be perfect in your mind
I want us to be happy all the time
It must be love, but it’s not real
It can’t be love if it’s not real
What if I never saw you in that light
An incandescent halo in the night
The vagaries of random circumstance
The power to disable or enhance
I’ll be more specific when we chat
Right now I don’t know what I’m getting at
It must be love, but it’s not real
It can’t be love if it’s not real

Room 313
ROOM 313
You want to play a role?
Put on this blindfold
You might get cold without your clothes
In room 313
This was your request
Let’s put it to a test
A dream come true in black and blue
Is no longer repressed
I won’t hurt you
Unless you want me to
We can add to our repertoire
If you want me to go that far
I’ll look for the rope
While you have one last smoke
You’re my queen of the obscene
Amorally baroque
As I bind your wrists
I’ll lean in for one last kiss
Enjoy your sin and discipline
It’s futile to resist
I won’t hurt you
Unless you want me to
We can add to our repertoire

Valori Plastici
VALORI PLASTICI
Your shadow on the piazza in a dream
The slanted light of late summer so it seems
The ball the spoon the spool the string everything
is a sign connected in a line endlessly
The sealing wax with initials mine and yours
An envelope in a fire now obscure
The hunt the arrow poised to pierce this lover’s curse
One final waltz the victim’s shadow falls windows burst
The bell the book the time you took
the story line a life of crime
the stagehand said you look divine
I found the space a window seat
I saw your face I could not speak
I recognized the widow’s peak
The chilly air of December keeps your love
a box tied up in black ribbon a hand in glove
You dreamt a double dream of spring bright and sunlit
The evil genius of a king ruined it
Your shadow on the piazza in a dream
The slanted light of late summer so it seems
The ball the spoon the spool the string everything
is a sign connected in a line endlessly
The sealing wax with initials mine and yours
An envelope in a fire now obscure
The hunt the arrow poised to pierce this lover’s curse
One final waltz the victim’s shadow falls windows burst
The bell the book the time you took
the story line a life of crime
the stagehand said you look divine
I found the space a window seat
I saw your face I could not speak
I recognized the widow’s peak
The chilly air of December keeps your love
a box tied up in black ribbon a hand in glove
You dreamt a double dream of spring bright and sunlit
The evil genius of a king ruined it

Stars In Your Galaxy
STARS IN YOUR GALAXY
This is the page I tore out
from your diary
you called me m
in the list of your lovers gallery
Do others know
we are framed in your memory
How can i even breathe
we’re all stars in your galaxy
The mannequin can’t find her skin in a mirror
it’s much clearer in a fog
The empty hangers now in the closet
recite dulcet dialogues
You live on air
from a rare planetarium
and waves of grace
in the care of a sanitarium
What hellish noise
could distract you from your equipoise
You don’t need boys
when the girls offer better toys
The perfect love affair from a distance
needs persistence every night
Be steady confident understanding
Not demanding or she’ll take flight
