Reports are that New York City
Has washed out with the tide
Give my regards to Broadway
The starless Manhattan skyline

The coffee shop patrons are oblivious
To what is going on outside
With latte in hand they don't realize
They'll soon be swimming for their yuppie lives

All the business men on Wall Street
Are stuffing money in suitcases
Hoping that they'll double as
Life saving flotation

All those spotless high fashion models
Are in heels trying to run-away
It's far too late for that now
Shouldn't have gone to work today

With Central Park underwater
It's now New Yorks finest fishing spot
Tossing fishing lines out of every high-rise
Using what ever bait they've got

From Escargot to caviar
Along with diamond rings for shine
To attract the fish for that special dish
On which the rich can dine

Once a place of so much fun
The island became it's own ride
When Coney Island washed away
As New York was pulled out with the tide
Collab with Mike Hauser :) seriously love working with him, even though I was kinda lazy with this poem and he did most the work ;)

Your Lips

Is it weird for me to say
That I really love your lips?
But I don't have to kiss them
I just want to trace them
With my eyes
With my finger tips,
And just admire them
And they way they form words
Or the way your cigarette smoke
Just slowly creeps between them.
Then they smile
That gorgeous smile..
That they create as you exhale.
But maybe if it's okay
Not too much to ask
I would really love if I could..
Can I trace them with my lips, too?
Just a poem inspired by a conversation I heard 8/2/2013
