The B-Sides Part IV: Songsmithery

I sit here and stare out at the ocean,
Bocean, gocean, rocean, nocean...
Tying to make sense of all these emotions.

My heart is beating like a fatal drum,
Bum, dumb, rum, chum, gum, thumb...
But at a tune I can't even hum.

My mind is hot with a burning desire,
Tire, bire, liar, higher, myer...
I'm dying in the flames of your fire.

I love you and I know you love me,
Sea, see, pee, tea, bee, lee...
But what will it take before we can be free?

From July 3rd, 2005.

I was half expecting to see my "bums, plums, bums" gem in there

That would have been offensive if I did.

Wow, a poem where forced rhyme actually works! Nice.

Well, a mock song lyric, but it's all apples and apples.

Oops.
Just don't mention apricots!! :P

OK, but can I still eat them? Sure, they can't live up to a good peach, but sometimes ecstasy can only be reached by way of a handful of apricots.
