Red, White & Blue

For Anna

Time To Go

I've loved it when you've held me
Brief moments all aglow
But you've never really loved me...

Bridge of Sighs

I'll break the hearts of the chosen few who care
As daylight breaks to a world without me there.

Too Late

Too late to spy the morning sun
But early yet to sleep
Too late to halt the shadow's yawn
Too soon to launch the final leap.

Beyond The Pale

He gives me love , I know won't fail
He leaves me hope that good prevails

The Unpaid Servant

You give me nothing
Dream your life away
Singing your drunken songs
From break of day.

As I Knelt Down

Above the ground, I heard the sound
That angels make when heaven-bound.

Walnut Curls

I'd love to buy you diamond rings
Soft silk and satin, a clock that sings
Lalique and pearls and walnut curls
A painted sea that ebbs and swirls.
