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 stole my mind, they said you would

With half a sign, 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, pray venture, to flow deep within my blood
Time stood still, as if our place was under the rainbows hood
We cared for the thrill, spilt the rest, left unfulfilled in bluebell wood
Daylong nights took their toll, our play turned bad, we'd had it good
We departed, the drift to roll; our hopelessness started, we knew it could

You look so good, I took my time
I dreamt you would, you appear quite 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 beside the stable
All to hope is all can change
Witness sent by telegraph cable
