Deprived dark lullabies
Sing a nefarious sinful symphony
Behind her corseted shy smile
The foreign moody melody calls
To his private passions
Clearing cold cobwebs
From his hardened heart
In a crescendo of deep desire
Pain
I soldiered through
The gray days of nothing
And the dark nights of despair
Marching through my mistakes and regrets
The pain and loneliness teach me how to appreciate
You
A hard rain blankets my sorrows
As my soul silently screams
Wondering if anyone’s out there
I’m searching for solutions
But my problems puddle at my feet
Only reflecting my pain
The American Dream
Is losing steam
It’s time to apprise
Revise and realize
Forget anger and division
Seek a new vision
Skip the white picket fences
Let’s come to our senses
Remember the dove
It’s a symbol of love
Let’s heal not hate
So much is at stake
If I fall for you
Will you let me hit the ground
Am I found
Or lost
To your insatiable needs
Will you make me bleed
Depleting my heart
Is this just the start
Will you pull me up
Or are we going down
My ragpicker heart
Is homeless
Without you holding it
Giving it shelter and love
It’s whispering your name
In vain
Searching for a home
Knowing it’s where
Your heart is
We are free but there is no freedom
When we live in fear
We crawl into the cage of our making
Pushed in by the hand of panic
And locked with terror
The bars are made of trembling dread
We wait for someone to let us out
Never realizing we hold the key
The rhythm of your mind
Plays a seductive melody
Of captivating subterfuge
That hums along my chords
Singing of sweet romance
While lying to my fractured heart
The earth is tilting
Sliding into tainted uncertainty
Tinted with fear and foreboding
Reach for me
I’ll hold us with love and trust
And the belief
Everything will be all right
Together
Outside she is all smiles and blue skies
Inside her soul is a raging storm
A hurricane of hurt
A tornado of terror
A monsoon of madness
Heaven help the day she releases her tempest
She’ll destroy everyone and everything in her path
