The Lonely Sophomore Collection - technically not all written as a sophomore, but the mood is right.

i worry to much

in the calm ecstasy that comes after making love
 we sit semi-entwined
and stare at each other
by the light of a single cigarette

i do wish she wouldn't smoke,
smoking gives you cancer

all alone, Jan '92

Lone-pine Hill

I know of a hill topped solely by a lone pine tree
Where the crickets chirp with a romantic beat
And if you come with me there,
In the fresh night air
I'll hang the moon about your neck
And lay the stars at your feet

Then if you let me, I'll carve your name in the sun

And when God's plan is finished
When the Earth is done
There will be a hill Topped no only with a lone pine tree
But also with you and me

(Sept.1991)

Blue Beach

The beach is blue tonight
But that doesn't feel quite right
Although the sky is gloomy
And the stars are hiding
I am flying with thoughts of you tonight

(Fall/Winter, 1991)

Writing

The writing is not yet on the wall
And its definitely not carved in stone

I did not really mean it
When I said, "I want to be alone"

(Fall/Winter, 1991)

Sleep of a Victim

I am sleeping the sleep of a victim
Tossing and turning and full of dreams
I don't know what happened between us last night
But now I can't escape the thoughts of you

(10 Dec 1991)

Universe

Yes, you could have the Milky Way as your blanket
And I would pull down the Moon for your pillow
The Rings of Saturn would be your wedding band
Then I'd no longer need the Sun to light the dark
Even frozen Pluto could not chill my heart
If you would just be my universe

(23 January 1992)
