sevenling: traveling shoes
these shoes have ridden many
buses, trains and airplanes
they have touch the pavements of
New York City, Las Vegas and Paris
these shoes have seen the world

at night
at night she walks the streets
listening to the stars
a man nearby puffs on his pipe
a couple walks arm in arm
she can hear the footsteps
behind her in search of easy prey
the poor soul doesn’t know
this lady has bite

jokes on me
every year you make the same promises
and every year I believe them
and after the dance has ended
you disappear like a phantom at dawn
every year is the same, yet I still fall
for every charming promise you make
I know how this ends yet still have hope
I guess the joke are really on me

in this letter
in this letter
I wish I could
enclose my heart
but I can only
write the words
that simmer within
I hope they bring
joy to your eyes
and melt away
all your worries
and perhaps one day
we will meet again
