Ode to a Brownie

Ode to a Brownie

By: Brett Matthes

I love you my little brownie

So chocolatey and sweet

Your goodness flows right through me

From my head down to my feet

The chunckiness of your chips

The denseness of your cake

The moistness of your insides

My hunger you do slake

I eat you with great fervor

I consume you with much haste

I hold my hand beneath you

So your crumbs I do not waste

I love you my little brownie

And I say this from my core

I'll miss you forever now that you're gone

Oh wait, Matt brought more!

You're such a good person

You always defend

The loser or underdog

Either enemy or friend

You have strong opinions

On how I should behave

On how I should dress

And how often I shave

You're such a good person

You don't like to mock

Not even the girl

Who calls it "The Iraq" and such as

I love who you are

You're kind of my hero

Even when Morty explains

How he knows it's not Coke Zero

So don't change a thing

You are so awesome

You are so awesome

You are so awesome

Love Hurts (yea yea)

Love Hurts (yea yea)

By: Brett Matthes

I met you just last year

But I've known you all my life

Your love's carved into my heart

With a freshly sharpened knife

I love being near you

For your whisper soft touches

Your love lifts me high

Like a new set of crutches

We laugh and we talk

We're very good friends

I feel your love in my bones

Like a case of the bends

I love you my dear

With all of my might

I'll love you forever

Till I see the big white light

Awake

Awake
By: Brett Matthes

Awake in bed again
The clock face says half past four
Why, oh why won't my mind let me sleep
I don't want to think about her anymore

I can't shake her image from my head
I can't stop thinking about her eyes
A green so perfect, so rich and dark
They flicker when she lies

The scent of her perfume is exquisite
It's got an immaculate bouquet
It makes my knees weak when she walks close to me
It pains me to walk away

It's over, it's done
We both knew that when I closed the door
So why can't I stop caressing her with my thoughts
I don't want to feel this way anymore

Hey look, I got a Blog of the Day Award. Click the link to the right :)

Internet blues

The Internet Blues

By: Brett Matthes

I got a message on Gmail
Just the other day
HotChicArizona
Had something to say

She said she wanted to connect
I thought she meant at my place
She sent back a smiley
Turns out she meant at MySpace

“OIC,” I lamented
“LOL,” she replied
So I clicked on her picture
But my access was denied

So I surfed to eHarmony
To find some eLove
It found my perfect match
Well, maybe sort of

I clicked on the link
So I could see more
But it wasn’t to be
Error 404

So I downloaded some iTunes
Made a new CDRom
Did a quick search on Google
I guess I’ll try Match.com

Alone

Alone

By: Brett Matthes

I’m single again
I’m all on my own
Nobody to greet
When I finally get home

I thought that I’d found
My one perfect mate
Never again would I need
To ask a girl on date

When I told her I loved her
The first time she cried
Then she said she loved me
Turns out that she lied

I called her all the time
When she was at school
But she rarely called me
I felt like a fool

When she graduated college
We got our own place
A really nice house
With plenty of space

It turns out that space
Wasn’t measured in feet
It was emotional distance
My discontent was complete

I was alone in the house
Even when she was there
I was alone in my love
She just didn’t care

So I’m single again
But don’t shed a tear
My girl didn’t leave
She was never really here

Winter Awakens

Winter Awakens
By Brett Matthes

It was a dark, stormy night

Except, it was day
But the storm part is true
"Maybe T-storms," they say.

It was cold, it was wet
The skies were dark grey
They said it might last
Until morning Sunday

So I pulled on my sweats
I slipped on my scuffs
I grabbed my old jacket
All cool-weather stuff

Out on the dry porch
I sat in a chair
I listened to the rain
Enjoyed the damp morning air

Not a single dog barked
While the rain fell in sheets
No radios blared
These were rare treats

But as I watched the ground puddle
I was thinking one thing:
"Ok Mr. Winter,
"Now time for SPRING!"

All you need is love

A wise man and poet once said "All you need is love."
I never knew what this meant before I met her
I thought "A person needs food, and water, and shelter."
"Nobody can survive on love alone."
But now I know what he meant.
You can be poor, you can be low
You can be sad or in pain
But all the thoughts of that fade
If only for a while
When you first realize you love her
And it happens again when you realize
She really does love you back.
The world looks crisper
The pain recedes
You forget your troubles.
I may not be a wise man
I may not be a poet
But what I do know for sure
Is that when that moment comes
All you need is love

Carly

My girl is a mechanic

She likes jet planes and cars

She likes tacos and cop shows

And watching football in bars

She likes pliers and drivers

She has wire on spools

She's the top in the shop

And has her own set of tools

She knows fluids and solvents

She knows bolt designations

She knows motors and rotors

And rivet locations

She likes Country and Jazz

She likes Classic Rock

From Cheap Trick to Trick Pony

Keith Urban to Bach

My girl is a mechanic

She's every guys dream

A wrench swingin' hottie

Back off, she's with me
