Thrust into the adult world
A child
With growing responsibilities.
And so began a torrid love affair
With words
With life
With myself.

The Danger of Falling in Love
Fingers laced
Hearts paced
About to kiss, my mind slips
My heart skips
As the truth nears
And all my fears disappear
When you pull me back
To the reality I lack
As your thumb traces my chin
I can’t help but grin as you pull me in
I admit defeat and our lips meet.
The magical sensation
Of instant gratification.
I must have hit my head falling for you
In this world that is brand new.
A Price to Pay
I’ll seduce you with my words
A conversation made of cards
Tell me what you want
What you’d like me to flaunt
I’ll give you a piece of me
Reveal myself for a fee
Give me your most valuable possession
Pay me attention.
Journey
She wanted to see the world
See the ocean crashing on foreign sands,
The architecture of religion,
Accents in the cafes.
She promised to see the world
Dine with the Queen
Safari, Sahara, Sayonara
A journey from North America to anywhere else…
But her passport was expired.
Runaway
Running away to L.A. under the shadow of the clouds
A day that I will never forget
I’ll be a runaway in L.A., my mind is set
I’m leaving today, a cloudy spring day.
I’m leaving today
Before I change my mind,
Before you realize I’m gone
And I see what I’ll be missing.
I’m leaving all of it behind.
Hollywood is dead, the stars are diminishing
The audience sits waiting, criticising, slowly killing them.
They need something new on the silver screen
And I’ll be the bright and shining star.
Hand me the script, I’ll captivate the crowd
Standing alone in the spotlight
Solitude- the way of life
For the runaway.
In the Air
Welcomed by wires
Vocals and vibrations
Timbres, tones, tunes
Singing songs
Incorporating instruments
To create the sounds
That whisper sonnets in the air
Healing the hearts of broken lovers
And curing loneliness through the creation
Of a unity of individuals.
Natural Love
Palm fronds
Brushing against the house
With the persuasion of the wind
A caress from nature
Protecting the family inside
From the dangers of the world.
Time
Begins with dawn
Time passes, life goes on
‘Til dusk. Repeat.
Spirit of the Valley
Subdue the hills
To rid the obscene obstructed view
And see the valleys
Flourishing with life
Dancing in the wind
Like spirits.
Dancing on the Edge
Standing on the balcony ledge,
You surprise me with a kiss.
This is where we begin to dance on the edge
Because if you leave, everything about you I will miss.
Like the way you catch my eye
And tell me you love me
In such ways that make me sigh
And hope forever yours I’ll be.
Or the way you laugh at things I say
And how you make sure I’m comfortable when we lie
Side by side while our elbows touch.
The only thing I need to know
Is exactly how much
You love me and when it will show.
But all we have is now-
As the curtains are closing, we take our bow.
