Exotic petals of yellow,
Hot pink and leaves of green
A sunrise of baby blues
And clouds made of cream.


A lei of Hibiscus
Whiskey and Tequila too
A paradise of softheartedness
Where the sun will never set on you.

Lilac skies in the west
Clouds made with a dash of tangerine  
A Pink Flamingo guarding her nest
A sight straight out of daydreams.

The spirits sway  
In the shadows of the palm trees
So come on down and meet us by the Cay
And let all your fears fall away.

Do you ever see  a bird
and wonder
if its someone you knew
whose passed away
someone you loved
greeting you one more time
and droppin in to say
hey?

Do you ever see a dandelion
blooming at an odd time
in late September
and wonder if its an old soul
you had once forgotten
but now remember?

Do you ever take a peak at the sun
as it shines down in a particular way
the rays grace your skin
then a couple of clouds move in
is this a lost loved one
checking up on you
and whispering
it will all be okay?  

Do you ever take a walk by yourself
and stare down at your feet
but the wind picks up
to caress your cheek
the flowers have now turned to face you.
Could this be a late love exclaiming
I still am with you.

i see
i see Your face in the clouds
i see You're every shade of blue
in the sky
i see You
in every season
that passes me by


i hear
i hear a wise man  
i hear the wise man say
"you go your way
i'll go your way too"
i heard him say that
i knew he was talkin bout me n You

i feel
i feel You
i feel You just as the spring breeze came
but just like a robin
You got on up
and flew away

i miss You
i miss You like a butterfly misses
her favorite flower when it has died

but with the breeze she will glide
up to the lucid blue sky
to join her true love once again
on the flipside

sometimes past midnight
my window'll be open
'n ill hear the rev
of a motorcycle
that sounds got me hopin
that maybe in my dreams
ill meet up with Him
and we can pretend
Hes come back from heaven

nothing was more lovely
than the sound of His voice
along with the strum  
of His guitar

how I wish my Baby
wasn't so far
away.

I remember how bad He hurt
and how He always put others first
no wonder He needed to get high
to escape the strife in His life
it was the only way He could fly


He constantly had roses blooming
in His mind
though animosity was constantly
looming
from all His connections, riches, n fame

it was all enough
to drive anyone insane.

but

my Baby had always been a rose
and
when His band was all the rage
He would light up the stage
with His angelic ways
n His bass draped
cross His small frame

Hes gone now
He had to go
back from where
He came

heaven

ill still be waitin
for Him
on His black motorcycle
with the flames
because nothings the same
without Him.

the rose held its head down
in its final hours
as the rain poured down
in a sudden summer shower

the daffodils sat at the edge of the high way
and would wave at the cars thatd pass
their exhaust made the petals melt
their once proud heads begin to sink
to Decay
the petals bow to kiss the grass
no one can feel the pain these flowers have felt

My eyes look up to the sky   
To see
The clouds twirling with the wind.
A new shade of grey is displayed every time
Ribbons of thunderous clouds roll by

Two dragon flies collide  
On this August night
They drunkenly hover near one another
I hear their tiny giggles
Then like a bolt of lightning, they fly away to hide

What appeared to be a dove in the air
Has transformed into a vulture
More ghastly than his mangy feathers
Is his cold stare

He has landed on the tallest grave,
He patrols the rolling hills
Made of endless tomb stones
Each one beholding a lost loved ones name

I peel open my eyes
to reveal an ethereal
water color sky
it is peaceful
it is silent
no one else around
not a soul, not a sound

my eyes blink
then I think
and wonder why
do I feel a little horrified

I was embedded by carnations
from people
who were trying to show their admirations

toward whom?
who? me? what?

"I will always love you"
whispered the orchid

I recall feeling blue
and my vision became distorted

the peach colored horizon has faded
WAIT!
DONT GO!
but the sun, or sky, or time
can never be persuaded
