Mosy

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2015.

Digging my way from the ground to the sound, Living a love so graceful– Riding the wave a bit smoother now, Long as my ears are able– I wanna see you again, I remember you when we stole the summer– December is here, I know you are near, My mind is to wonder–

If all my dreams sing so low, For who they mean do they know? My love is here, only free– Keep growing and flowing so we can mosy.

Making my way from the back of the crowd, Rhythm is ready and getting loud– Humming for some of a smile, Rosy in style to mosy a while– Look at the way she sings, Look at the way she move– In every groove, gotta be true, You know what to do–

Only With You (verses)

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2014.

I can't explain it, but it's something beautiful You can make it and my heart is over full Soul naked as I waited to be pulled Don't break it, mama told me don't Fool around be cool for now we love again someday Don't fool around be cool for now we love again today

I gotta take it, been a victim to the crush I can't fake it God I’m trying not to blush Soul naked as I waited for a flush Dilated morning coming now Love again, I know we can become again someday Don't fool around be cool for now we love again today

Falling Through

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2017.

This time let it all be you Sunshine stealing through the blue I wish it could be forever– Rewind in the spring you gave Sunshine every single day I find you so very clever–

Falling, I’m falling through all your love

She flies tangling my dream I climb every star I see For her I would run forever– In time let us all be free Sunshine high for you and me We find life so very clever–

Peace (verses)

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2008.

This is more than a mission, I keep walking on the pavement With the same intent as before. It’s become a tradition, And I’m waking up to the Same old singing bring into me

Oh, na–na na na na!

I will break superstition, Sometimes you find that All those sayings never weigh at all. I’m holding a vision, And I hope it’s breaking Through to you

Oh, na–na na na na!

I love the ambition, To pursue the moment All alone I start to own it. Her flawless precision Is growing on me firm And no I’ll never turn Oh, na–na na na na!

Grapevine

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2009.

I am but a child in the line, Been a tied to the grapevine Spinning round the table so long– And my time is a blessing So let me be free to pretend as I please!

I been dreaming of you–
 And together we ride into the depths of our minds

Do you ever lie to the man And you try to understand What your mind is crammed full of? Hopes and dreams and impossible things, I’m here to sing it’s okay to wonder yeah– And I can tell you all my life I’ve been told to follow in line “Hold on to the grapevine Never question, nevermind the dreams” But what do they mean? Yeah

I been dreaming of you–
 And forever we fly to the west and we find the truth

Rowing

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2017.

I’m out here in the water, you’re on the ground There’s something out here I’ll bring back home I love your every color, I see your eyes And everytime you go I lose my mind

She rows, woah, she rows The river and I give her my love

Sometimes I think about it, how far we run Somehow I found you I feel so young If you ever wonder what’s out at sea I believe in the water, it sets me free

In the back and I’m holding on and you wanna row away Straight up into the sun into another day I don’t know where we’ll go but I will go with you We keep on growing, your love is shining

In My Head (verses)

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2011.

Her skin is softer than a cloud in the sky Her eyes they shimmer like a star in the night Her hair is beautiful, the crown of a queen Her lips are sweeter than a tangerine

Her touch is smoother than the leaf of a tree Her mind is stronger than I’ll ever be Her heart is genuine, an engine of bliss Her soul is deeper than the ocean’s abyss

Holding Onto Love

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2011.

Oh sweet Lord! Something caught my eye In a childhood memory summer flyby I remember sitting at the top of the slide Handing her flowers and singing “Oh my my, girl, I’m gonna miss you all my life, girl, I don’t wanna hold too tight, girl, We’re just two turtle doves Six years old and holding onto love”

I’m holding onto love

Oh sweet Lord! She’s on my mind In a teenage remedy maybe I’m shy just a little bit Now just ‘cause I don’t wanna ruin it I wrote a song and I’m using it To break through from the ear to the heart Music with love and a love for the art This part of my soul is reaching above I can’t stop this holding onto love

I’m holding onto love

Oh sweet girl! Just one more thing I’m leaving soon but for you I’m singing “Oh my my, I’m gonna miss you I just wanna kiss you”

Pure Light Within

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2013.

You are the light of my world Don’t ever think that you cannot be heard

My two eyes can see the pure light within you, within you

We fly these circles around I hear the hum of your eternal sound

Riding True (verses)

William Wyatt Hauptle (1192- ) written in 2012.

It takes time to be anything Another dream in the scene of reality Everyday is a mission to find some peace It take love to do anything A little help from a friend or two or three So make a deal be real to the people that ya see What a crazy atmosphere, this year will test our every fear

So much to be down about The world turns while we scream and shout We need to stop bugging out and make some love So much to be thankful for I got my head and my heart with an open door We live a life with a soul much deeper than the floor

Joy Blues

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2017.

Pick up feet, The pace and beat of her Song– she’s got me holding on. Roll and rock, Her hips and lips so Sweet– this girl got a grip on me. Hope to climb, Yes you will find this Time– I rock and roll and rhyme. Sing that tune, Always you do so True– with joy, yet still so blue.

Sentiment (to NB)

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2016.

That’s too bad– I was really hoping we could remain good friends.

From one of my worst times, your words were most comforting. You told me if I ever felt too low that I could always call on you. – I will always have a place in my heart for you and your family, y’all have been so kind to me.

I was there the first time you got out and will continue to support you brother. Much love and best of luck to you and yours.

She’s most of all a true giving lover

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2014.

She’s most of all a true giving lover True pride in the boy she discovered Sharing a mutual dream with another Living to feel this and stay undercover

Hold to me now, but don’t be scared Love is our lifeline, for me you’ve cared Wise and so worthy, still making it better You’ve opened my eyes up – into forever!

Fish jumping in the water

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) written in 2010.

Fish jumping in the water May you might understand? I sit on this bank of river Thinking of a way to say

I do. I love you every people Thanks for living in the world Making noise for all the boys And taking pearls for the girls.

See the bird there in the sky? Listen to her word and song May I might not know her well But I am sure we’ll get along.

Chill - dren (excerpt)

William Wyatt Hauptle (1992- ) from ‘Chill - DREN’ (2011).

If I stand in one place, without a movement- without moving, my mind is dancing, scribbling, walking, everywhere. Suddenly suddenly suddenly, an explosion of gentle bliss. Gentle explosions of flowers. (full essay: https://leafpoet.tumblr.com/post/169665402754/chill-dren)
