Believe

I admit it
I did it 
And I’ll do it again
Again and again 
I’ll do it again

I smiled and I dreamed and I lowered my eyes
My brunette heart told my head pretty lies

The sun fled West and the moon floated high
I knelt to the floor and I breathed to the sky

I must never do this ever again
I know that I will
It’s a matter of when

Not Next Door

I’d counsel, be careful
The company you keep
That girl she slays demons at night in her sleep

She’s a penchant for grey
A dangerous name
A seemingly endless desire for rain

She entertains delusion
And at dinner debates 
Whether Biblical prophets had talents as great as the You here before me

Use caution, I say
If you seek out that girl as the light to your day

Magic Moves Through Me

The Star in the sky and its sitar string song
Shimmers and sings to me all the day long

The morning sees bent notes encircle my mind
By mid-day the rhythm has stretched down my spine

Come midnight the music meets me face to face
Pulls me in closer, then wraps ’round my waist

my hand on it’s knee

I stare hard with wonder  
Smiling back
At the long, blue road before me 

How it’s casual, easy grade belies 
Hard-won, Historic Route status Potholes, and unforeseen detours 

And I think to myself
Do I tip-toe whimsically
Drive with all deliberate speed
Or close my eyes and fly on eagle wings

Where will this road take me
Who does it think it is
And what color snacks should I pack for the journey
