It's cold out
and the snow is falling fast
But when I look at you,
I feel warm,
really warm

I like your long hair, girl
You're pretty,
a princess
and oh, those big white teeth

You're smile is big, girl
Like the sun,
like beauty herself

I know it gets hard,
when you want to run fast,
when you need to move far,
away from the fears that bind you,
from the hate that surrounds you

You'll be okay, girl
You're stronger than you know
What you've got in you,
could move mountains,
crack lightning
and make waves

I've seen it, girl
Earth and sky came together,
to form a woman like you
Just like the hawk that sits on your fence,
basking in big sun,
unaffected by the sound

You're my New York,
you know,
my somewhere over the rainbow
Where it never rains
and the clouds can never get me
Where it's always sunny
and the grass is always greener

You're my loud city streets,
with all of the honking and moving,
never stopping, always laughing

I love the noise
and the life you give me
You free me
and I let you fly

I love to watch your wings spread
As you soar through the sky
You are every kind of beautiful

My sister,
my mother,
my lover,
and my friend

We started from the same place,
you and I
Our souls are from,
the same seed,
that grew into a tree

A Beautiful tree,
tall and flowering,
and it always smells,
like sweet perfume
It's leaves never fall
and it will never die

Oh, blue sky, blue sky
tell me what it all means
Tell me I have enough good sense,
to leave this crazy scene
That I can stand and walk,
away and never be afraid
I will be strong,
for I alone
and this will be my karma paid

I will sit pretty in the green grass,
that grows all around
I will be Queen Earth
with yellow posies as my,
woven crown

Don't worry mama,
because I'm no fool
I know that I am Eve
and only Adam is allowed to rule
But I can change,
the day to night,
be the watery moon
and the stars so bright

Blue sky, blue sky
carry me away,
to the heavens and into the sun
because I can't see tomorrow,
if I today is just no fun

I know your smell
Like warm bread,
like sweet, hot breath
It follows as I leave
It clings lazily to my clothing
and it's imbedded in my hair

I let the water fall on me
and so you swim down the drain
I can never get clean from you,
because you can never make me feel *****
Only alive

There's throbbing and aching,
in the place where you've been
I smile and remember,
as I close my eyes
You know all my sweet spots

You have never taken from me
You only give, and give, and give
and you're with me when I go

I breathe in and say,
this is what love is for

Blue-grey smoke
swirl around your hand
and float towards the ceiling
as your voice fills the room

Head back, all the way
and laughing deeply
We feel good
and we'll never let it stop
No, these good times,
will never ever end

We spray
We walk
We smoke
and we talk
to each other
to strangers
about all of the things
that make us feel good

I lay and you lay
on the green, green grass
cool to touch,
because it's midnight
or sometime like that,
we don't know really,
because watches are outdated
and our phones are dead to the world

We make fire
inhaling and exhaling
as we laugh
and cry
We get serious
and then we play pretend,
passing the bottle
stained with four shades of lip stick

We dance
to music we know
and music we don't
On tables or just about anything,
that won't move under our feet
Arms flailing and legs shaking and kicking
We're all crazy and we don't care
because it's a beautiful time to be insane

We dig deep
into our purses
and into our hearts
for secrets
and cigarettes
for stories that will keep us connected
because when we are united
we cannot be ripped apart

My mouth goes dry
I feel a thunder storm beginning,
deep in my gut,
that becomes a hot, sticky rain
It floods me and the water,
pours slowly through my insides
Warm and sweet it flows to my hips,
and between my legs
It makes me tremble and shake

I feel alive when you touch me
The stars shine brighter
and my world starts spinning
Your smell engulfs me,
so smoky and sweet

I could live in this place forever
Your arms envelope me
and I go down
I swim through your skin
and with every solid motion,
I sing for you
Pain and passion fill my voice

Your breath, eyes, teeth, hair
fill me with sin
and tickle my devious desires
I am filled with vibrant light
For you,
I melt
For your kiss,
I am proud to be a woman

They say this place isn't colorful,
that this part of town doesn't shine
No inspiration, no life
When I open my eyes to it,
I see something a little more beautiful

I feel it too,
in every sunny day
I hear it
when the wind rustles
carelessly through the trees,
shaking their leaves
and making music
for my soul

They see an alley,
dark and dusty
A place that doesn't exist
Someone's slept there,
stepped through it,
even gazed at it
Oh the untold human condition

I love this place
this town with all of its flaws
and normalities
every park, every street
I know them by heart,
I know the people who have stepped foot there
and all of the memories that have been made

But I'm bigger than this place,
I've out grown it
I'm just a sun flower surrounded by daisies
