She looked like the sun
With her bright eyes, bright smile, and radiant skin
She smelled like a meadow
Over populated with flowers
She sound like a dream
In the weary, dreary night of mist
Calm and cool and plump with bliss
Radiant and confident and never missed
She enters a room with grace and command
Never with lack of a man on her hand
When she smiles she is the sun
And the stars that surround her
And her cries, they are the thunder that rattle her world
Alone in her dreams, this magnificent girl.

Never with lack of a man on her hand
When she smiles she is the sun
And the stars that surround her
And her cries, they are the thunder that rattle her world
Alone in her dreams, this magnificent girl.

A man on the corner
Heart melting in his hand
His mind wonders from storefront to storefront
“Can you spare a moment?” it asks
But no one jumps to the task
To save this gentleman’s heart
“It will only take a minute, or a decade, or the rest of his life,
For you to help him mend,
For you cannot comprehend the pain he is in or
The damage that laid waste to this man.”
“For I have seen his future
And my friend it is bleak
His love has run dry and his heart strings are weak!”
No woman will ever understand.

This river is shallowI can see the bottom and the mud where it resides
I can see the creatures that live there
I can almost spot them where they hide
I can feel the currents as they rush past
I imagine them as hands on my breasts
The water at my ankles
Half full/Half empty
This ocean is overwhelming
I can’t keep myself afloat
The salt it burns my eyes
And the waves they pound my throat
The currents push my head around and cause my brain to spin
I never know just what he wants; I seem to never win
