    BURIAL MOUNDS (a take on love)

    Burial

    Play it slow man..

    So much you will never see
    Disappearing acts
    Are my specialty
    Learned 2 run away from pain
    And toss into the trash
    Memories that remain

    Fun house mirror
    Reflects my smile
    Always fools friends
    Who don't stay 4 a while
    Hush my frantic heart
    When it begins 2 pound
    Grown fond
    Of having heartbreak around

    Tears don't make a sound
    When they fall
    On our love's burial mound

    So much you never knew
    Words U thought I ignored
    Indeed got through
    Seen so much
    My tear ducts
    Are sealed
    Never bothered 2 ask 4 an appeal
    My final sentence
    Always puntuated by a question mark
    Crooked as the road I travelled
    Relying on a lonely heart

    The Lions seem rather bored
    Or is it me
    Refusing 2 believe
    In things I once adored
    So many times confidently
    I strode 2 the plate
    Once up 2 bat
    Took too much time 2 deliberate
    Strike
    One
    Two
    Three
    A disappearing act
    Is what I've come 2 be

    Come one
    Come all
    Laugh at Dee the clown
    Ignore the echo is his heart
    That still resounds

    Tears don't make a sound
    When they fall
    On love's burial mound

    ..that's it..one take
    Let it fade
    I'm out
