KK— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
Unmoved by her candor, passion or maturity
my melancholy carried me thru
How, I wonder, can I share myself with another
when I’m so torn and confused and thin now…
jaded and pensive I said ‘yes’ to her
and showed myself once again
I’m empty … not much more left to share
Rose’s pain, has filled me up and emptied me
She’s gone, and all these others talk in vain
My confusion is so deep, my emptiness so wide
that my lover’s smiles can’t find me inside.

Thursday, May 18th, 1978Crazy life, getting a lot of it these days— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
summer’s coming’, lovers too…its a fantasy done
in emotional pastels
Rose and I…drifted apart…
still some love in our eyes,
its easy…when we don’t hassle
how could I not love her…how?
New people, eyes and hands and time…
the sunlight and the plants…the music
these days that bear the passage of time…well
Ah, I’m dreamin’ away…some Siddartha…midway
down the midway of my dreams
passion and freight trains running all night.
Danny…Danny’s eyes growing up…we talk
I feel it, my bond to this boy, our flesh
and its OK…its good to be his father
time will walk me down sometime
to the end of these dream days
and unfold others for me to learn from.
but they’re all the same…mine
fly me now, self, into this song
chord days…ring me…and ring me well.

Monday, May 22nd, 1978 Did you know you smile in
your sleep?
You must be having good dreams
I wonder if I am there - -
no matter,
for now, I am content with being
your reality.
You make me run-through-the
sprinkler-on-a-hot-day happy.
Like a playful breeze you've
blown ever-so-gently across
my life.
You cool me,
refresh me,
gentle me
I know you'll blow away,
but wait,
Please wait,
at least until the heat has passed.
