for mr. poon

I got busted

I got busted
Staring at you by the parking lot
The one reserved slot
From the grocery lane
I was taking my time
Pushing my cart further to isle 39

What a grand embarrassment!
I denied you were ever in my heart’s compartment
The only department
Where you belong…
with this love song


I was in harm’s way that time and you saved me.
How can I not feel a thing for my savior?
My one endeavor
is to endear you
To me…


***Hiding it has been a royal pain
But I can’t complain
When thoughts of you help me get through the day…
I got busted
And guilty? I am.

Am I a secretive fool for lying? For not telling
How you send Christmas bells to my ears each time
I get a ticket for speeding your highway
I got busted
And foolish? I am.

I can honestly say
half of the way is one hell of a climb
But with you at the top
all i could think of

are water and hay

keep on fanning the flames of
this hostile fire
my heart would expire

if you walk away...

please look my way

from then and today

i would gladly say...

I got busted
What a relief
I got busted
No more mischief
I got busted

And guilty? I am…
