The Canvas
He paints bright yellow hues where my Indigo is home– / Never bothering to rinse his brush. / I know he thinks he's helping,

If You Knew
If I could cry a river, I’m sure you would drown, / if I opened the door, you’d see a world upside down. / If you knew the place where I sit and I think,

He rises by the silence of those / who should have known better. / They hand him the match,

Again, it is here, I sense its presence, / I've felt its intrusion before. / Hiding beneath my welcome mat,

the sun and the moon
the birds outside are chirping / and the distinct smell of fresh coffee fills the air / the sun came up and peaked over the horizon

Music Of The Night
It's midnight in the city, a gently falling rain, just the odd car passing and the distant rumble of a train / I sit here and listen to the creatures of the night, listen because I can't see them for they stay out of sight / One stand stands out above the rest continually it's heard. Even in the darkest hours the singing of a bird
