Coffee-Stained Love
I see the moon in your eyes,
My heartbeats are fluttering,
Yet I feel death clawing.
Your lips,
My savior.
The stains of a coffee cup,
A little reminder.
Warmth is fleeting,
So, I continue to drink you in, my dancer.
Your kiss silences the cries that drown me.
Coffee sips so warm,
The shadows play in the sunlit agony.
Every sip,
Every kiss,
Has stolen just one throb of misery.
If I could die in your arms tonight, let me die slowly.
So, I can see that smile,
So lovely.
The feel of you,
The warmth of a life,
I no longer feel it slip away in the daylight.

Poetry is my first love, and writing words onto paper is my therapy. Maybe my submissions will make you feel something, too.
If you find something in my words, then it is my pleasure.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
