Love ---> Friend
by Steven F. Boettcher


I haven't got a dime
I haven't got a clue
All I know for sure
Is I'm in love with you.

I can't give you a house
I can't give you the stars above
All I know for sure
Is I can give you my love.

I feel so helpless
You know why
You got a new friend
And I've become shy...
with you

 

I Want a House
by Steven F. Boettcher

I want a house
With pink flamingos
On sticks
Impaled on my front lawn.

I want a house
With a rock
Garden
Thrown about somewhere
Out back.

I want a house
With shudders that work
So I can block
The world.

I want a house
With a maze of rooms
So I can get lost
In.

I want a house
To call my own.
