Water

River boat
Down besides the flat lands
& the bicycle palaces

Absence

Little girl, by her mother
Sips Ice Cream Soda
Through a straw

Today her father
Is elsewhere

Bars

Plums et la tomatoe
Generation through generation

A spotted dress
Drinks from my coffee cup

Pristine

You took your time
To look so good
You took your time
They said you would

With half a mind
The half that almost misunderstood
More than half unkind
The half that knew I no how should

We danced the line
Swayed yet somehow leaning stood
I said you're mine
Venture here to be deep set in my blood

Time stood still
As if our place was under rainbows hood
Time cared only for the thrill
The rest left scattered in bluebell wood

The days and nights took their toll
Our play turned bad, we'd had it all too good
We parted, and parted the drift began to roll
Our hopelessness ended, as we knew it should

You look so good
I take my time
I dreamt you would
It was sublime

Flirtatious

Cockatiel & coffee cup
Steal the dreams of able
Sit there by the mirage fair
Cards laid on the table

Ace is high but draw it slow
Takes a while for love to show
Kings and Queens they stand in line
Touch their breath & pray for time

One and one is as could never be
Mismatched over by the stable
All to hope is all can change
By mail or text or telegraph cable
