he came
like a kamikaze
into my view
everything else
became a blur
shaken, I tried
to keep my head
above the waves
but your whiskey
smile got to me
every time

under twilight

under a twilight sky
she someone lost her way
and became entangled in
a mysterious web
she held onto her heart
as the rest of herself lost
all of its purity and turn
to midnight black
she wanted to save herself
when she met his eyes
she wanted to believe there
was still good inside her
but it was too late for her
under that twilight sky
darkness took over and
turned her heart to stone

hello blues
hello blues
you came back
to see me?
ready to play
another melody?
are you here
to collect sighs
and tears for
your tip jar?
how about you
and I just sit
by this piano
and write sad
love songs until
our dying days

pink elephant
it was the thing
that mom told us
we should not
speak about
out loud
the pink elephant
in the room
and we did not
understand why
it had to be a secret
when it was such
a natural part of
being a woman

when dawn came

when dawn came we knew in our hearts
that nothing would ever be the same
as the sun’s rays peaked through curtains
I knew I would lose you forever
the sun rose over horizons as you
placed sweet goodbye kisses
upon my weeping lips

season me
winter me with words
to cool my scorching heart
spring kisses upon my lips
to make our love bloom
summer on my shoulder
as we swim into sunsets
autumn my heart if you
decide to shed this love

railroad us
they try to railroad us
saying the cause is moot
we need to stop complaining
this is the way things are
they railroad our voices into boxes
forcing dreams into mason jars
but we stand united before the storm
welcoming whatever may come
with peace in our souls
