We Long to Be

Posted on 03.22.21 under Uncategorized

Your mama left you
Alone and hungry on a cold and rainy night
Your drama found you
On a sound stage without a costume in the spotlight

We long to be the light
Be stars that glitter in the night

The moment has passed
Regret and guilt is salt rubbed into our shame
I think we should ask
What we need is something we really want to tame

We long to be the light
Be stars that glitter in the night

No time on the clock
Is this a daydream or a waking nightmare
It comes as a shock
To take a leap of faith and find only thin air

We long to be the light
Be stars that glitter in the night
We long to be the light
Be stars that glitter in the night

Curtain Call

Curtain Call

I saw the writing on the wall
Right before the bloody fall

A perfect description of us all
As we take our curtain call

Disrespect the protocols
Drinking too much alcohol

A perfect description of us all
As we take our curtain call

When it feels like a free for all
Fighting for toys in the shopping mall

A perfect description of us all
As we take our curtain call

The Limbic Zone

Posted on 03.18.21 under Uncategorized

We’re just tourists in the Limbic zone
We threw the dice, but our bet was blown
It’s all fun and games until we lose
Then we cry and claim abuse

There are highs and lows
And love that comes and goes
Abandoned embryos
All things must decompose

Seduced by a wanton smile
Fishnet stockings never out of style
You found pleasure climbing to the top
With no one telling you how to stop

There are highs and lows
Pure joy of afterglow
Perfumed like a rose
And everybody knows

Your moods ran hot and cold
With tantrums to behold
Drama for breakfast and dessert
And then you played the introvert

There are highs and lows
And love that comes to blows
So don’t hold that pose
Your soul will decompose

Corrupted in a storm of hot consent
Bankrupted lust spent instead of rent
Discharged passion spewed in the dust
If only I had not betrayed your trust

There are highs and lows
Pure joy of afterglow
Perfumed like a rose
And everybody knows

There are highs and lows
And love that comes and goes
Abandoned embryos
All things must decompose

It’s getting to be Cherry Blossom Season
