Sail

           Over your thoughts of me

                                                             ­                          Follow the trail

                                               Swim until you’re free


Carved Marble

                                             Shaped by the water’s stress

          
                      You choked, garbled

                                                               ­                    When I took off my dress

        
              With salty fingertips


                                                  ­             You stood at the shore



          Your eyes traced my hips
          
                                                                ­            Cool water licked your feet, you swore


       I laughed & laughed

Ba da bump
I woke up alone
In my own twilight zone
Sunken is depression’s claw
& into myself I withdraw
Ba da bump, bump
Inevitably my heart will pump
Listening to the trumpet
Trapped in this twisted routine
I need a lover’s vaccine
Ba da bump, bump, bump
He said his love was fleeting
At our first meeting
So quickly I forgot
Blinded by the love I sought
Ba da bump, bump, bump, bump
We fell into bed
Bodies as heavy as lead
Sipping love from my lips
& I close my eyes to eclipse…
Ba da bump**
I woke up alone

Night plum lips that spread
Smooth like butter across toasted bread
A tongue that tastes of apple pie
Cinnamon spice- an apple sigh

Almond eyes- chocolate brown
Wearing her hair like autumn’s crown
Golden reds her chestnut tower
Absorbs morning’s lighting hour

Blood that flows like dark red wine
Gnarled, twisted like a tree her spine
Her beauty  blooms in the late afternoon
& Sleeps under the harvest moon

I love you
Won’t you climb on down
From your niche in the sky
Wearing your golden crown

Is how I started
& you flew apart
A fleeting piece of art
You left with my heart


Goodbye,
                  I love you
