I wonder where my little pagan princess is?
No doubt, she's out casting spells,
or getting her nails, hair, and lips painted black.
I gave her a broomstick for her birthday and said it was cheaper on gas than her Saab.
She failed to see the humor in it.
What I wouldn't give to find a woman that dug watching sunsets, The Three stooges, and listening to Miles Davis; that looked alive, instead of like Morticia from the Adams Family,  or some demented funeral
director on crack.

She's got a meeting with the
coven tonight.
I suggested that we get some
Chardonnay, put on some Van Morrison, and make love by
the fireplace.
She just cackled and flew off,
in her Saab, not on the broomstick.
Cooling down
the sun ends its journey
at least for today,
but wouldn’t we
if we had our way
ask it to stay longer?

I used to burn like the sun
until I aged
and I understand the rage
it must feel
as the seal is set.

Tomorrow or Kingdom will come,
my bet’s on tomorrow because
it’s been tried and tested and found
to be true,

if you wish you can bet too.
So this is what
Dying inside
Most resembles
I get all depressed
And I never
Write better
Just give me four walls
And occasional light
And I’ll gladly dwell
Well
In a cell of my plight
Not in spite
Of the doubt
I can make it out there
But in fear
I’d be living
The daily nightmare
The weight of the world
Sits on my chest
Suffocating my dreams
Making it hard to breathe

The pain of my heart
Aches from within
Paralyzing my limbs
With this lovesick disease
