Intermittent Storms

Anticipating thunder how the wild and heavy skies would linger driven by the tempestuous winds each cloud drawn and rendering itself as if from a canvas painters brushstroke the rains fall heavy and hard upon the sun parched lands as life returns in force if only for a fleeting moment dancing now away from us...

Wrong One

For all I've chosen to do Just short of crying for him Laid my heart out for him to take Yet he leaves it lie there. Another is begging my attention Which is falling against my banging indifference Until one night I am weak The night I want to know I can be wanted. Laughing...

Innocence Lost

Had a shot at darkness once But I hit it in the eye. Birds swarm around the dead Then they told me I could fly. A rose bush grows in a meadow Unkept and unclean. Water rushes down it's leaves Keeping them nice and green. Showers wash the pain away But never removes the scar....

Dance With the Devil

Tonight I want to dance with the devil Maybe take the ultimate chance. Strip off my clothes in front of him Maybe he will help with my pants? Tonight I want to dance with the devil No more truce coming from me. When he's done getting what he wants Maybe the beast will flee? Tonight...

One Night

Quickly you wrote something To satisfy my desire to hear you. It spoke of gin and that time we walked Away from everything one night. Kept trying to find a place we could be alone Where you just were happy to be with me. Hiding in the cover of darkness Because too many knew you...
