Stormy night, lightening flashing. Thunder crashing, rain flying. Spirits lifting, soul soaring. Why is this? I’m imploring. Why is this so restoring?

Stormy night, lightening flashing. Thunder crashing, rain flying. Spirits lifting, soul soaring. Why is this? I’m imploring. Why is this so restoring?

Liquor bottles, fast food debris. Strewn about haphazardly. Forgotten treasures, long past used. Discarded treats, of no more use. Absolutely no excuse, when will the price be due?

How many times….
Baby doll, I dance when I hear you’re name. Smiling crazily, half way insane. Can’t explain. Radiant beauty, beyond compare. Precious jewel, shining so brightly, I stare….
Separate life’s. Separate places. Time swindling, years dwindling. Flying constantly, whirling sideways. Can’t slow it down. Unknown forces, changing life’s courses….
Sitting alone, no companions, absent mates. Watching the world, he sits and waits.
Ruffling his feathers, chirping his plight. Listen. Comprehend the pain he’s in.
His true love has flown away. Leaving his world dark and gray. He will not sing. He will not fly. No, he’ll never ever venture into the sky….
hard to admit…I know I should quit…can’t even try…I even know why…I’ll never tell…I’m under her spell…
A bootlegger out of place. Out of time. Wearing yesterday’s clothes. Adorned in old time styles. A relic from the past. A memory that no longer lasts…..
Why bother, why care? Because dear, you are here. Other’s are there. Where? Way beyond, out of reach. Please, tell me why. Of this I can’t teach….

Daylight escaping into the darkness…
