Dew

Queen of perfection and beauty
Oh Dawn, preceding Day
More intelligent and alluring
Than flowers in May.

Nymph of my life
Let me serenade you
With tales of wonder
And a field of dew.

Once I recall
Viewing your radiance
From an open field of life
With a glowing ambiance.

You arose from the horizon
Took my breath away
You smothered my melancholy
But you weren't here to stay.

You passed me by
And took my heart
But you continued you path
And it tore me apart.

Why, oh why
Did you entrance my soul?
For now
The moments without you are dull.

All I can do
Is long for your eye
And pray your return
So our love can let fly.

Lacking you

Lacking you

Like a stake to the heart

Paining, staining

A poisoned-tipped dart.

Your will, darker

Than your eyes

Drawing, calling

With seductive lies.

Your lips

Colder than a winter's night

Hinting, tinting

Just within my sight.

Your hair

Shimmering in the moonlight

Glowing, flowing

Has me high as a kite.

Your eyes

Trap me in your gaze

Snaring, flaring

An endless maze.

Daisy

Friends again
-Yawn-
I long
For far more meaningful descriptions

I thought maybe you were like no other
But now I see
I See
Maybe that was your cover

Are you hiding?
Do you fear your feelings?
Have you had bad dealings?
Maybe your emotions for me ceased?

No matter, I'll survive
This isn't the first time
My head's been turned
By a Daisy with lime

I hope you'd say something
If it was my fault
Maybe I'M overcritical
Well, that's like wound and salt

Now the cold shoulder?
Never have you been cold to me
Maybe you're unwell?
Perhaps your right state would disagree

I hope I did nothing to offend you
Please forgive me if I did
I didn't mean to spring anything upon you
Alright, time to screw on my lid.

Earth and Stone

Another swig and the bottle's gone
I'll be safe away
Away from cold reality,
Illusion's where I'll stay.

Another swig and the bottle's gone
My strings have lost their play
I'll be awake another night
To waste another day.

A broken E counts another month
That I've been all alone
With silence to accompany me
And only my heart to loan.

A broken E counts another month
I tune to find the tone
That will match the state of my simple life
Living on earth and stone.

I sit and play for anything
I've got nothing to lose
Only the clothes upon my back,
My guitar, my blue suede shoes.

I sit and play for anything
Planning my next ruse
To get a little extra dough
So I can buy more booze.

Night is back and I shiver alone
No one to share the pain
My mind races back and forth
Suffocating my brain.

Night is back and I shiver alone
Humming Penny Lane
Just to distract me from misery
Slowly driving me insane.

I reminisce of times with you
I shed another tear
Once we sat hand in hand,
Defiant of a doubtful seer.

I reminisce of times with you
But I was wrong to leer
Our fortune-teller never lied
I still love you, dear.
