WASTED

The day was not wasted
if you crunched through autumn leaves
or saw a rainbow through a storm
if a stranger reached out to touch your heart
or a pastel sunset made you sigh

So gather the gifts of today
no regrets or worries just for now
conjure the magic within and without
Take the scenic route instead
and don't
             feel
                   hurried

PROMISE II

I dreamt you were my lover fair
and in your arms I dared to dare
You laid sweet kisses on my head
You laid beside me in your bed

Our meeting next would be in haste
But yet I yearned for one more taste
Heaven sent your flesh to mine
Heaven made it all so divine

Adventurous, I must concur
Yet how my heart and loins did stir!
Willing to your arms I came
Willing to forget his name

And what a thrill..I never knew
You thought like me, I thought like you

PROMISE

I dreamt I met my lover
upon a midsummer's night
Our hearts were in agreement
And what was wrong, felt right

I dreamt we met in secret
A time or two, in haste
Forbidden fruit was tempting
Oh, please..just one more taste!

I dreamt that danger beckoned
with many hearts at stake
So wait we must, but trust me
When we do, I promise you
The earth will shake
The paint will flake
The bed will break
From the love we make
for goodness sake

REMEMBER?

We've met before
Paris circa '24
wait...or was it '34?
In the open door
of a lingerie store

I was poor
and a whore
You? a bit of a bore
yet so much more
I couldn't ignore

We had a rapport
We had to explore
Although we swore
'Nevermore!'

But we hit the floor
It hurt to the core
and it tore
a big fucking hole in my heart
that's still sore

What was that for?
We both knew the score
Nothing's fair in love or war



NOT AGAIN

Here I go again

Jumping off the highdive
Into the deep end
Knowing I'm not a strong swimmer

Trying to break the wild horse
when I can't even ride the tamest

Biting off more than I can chew
when my mouth is already full

I create
I conjure
I cast the spell
then question the outcome

Here I go again
LATE BLOOMER

It's always always
Never say never
Do before you die
You're not too big to cry

Dream your dreams
live a life of love
If push comes to shove
Tomorrow tomorrow
will be today

REUNION

We will meet again
I won't make you wait

We should have been together
A long, long time ago
And now it's late

I've got to go
Take care now, love
'Til our appointed date

I miss you here
I'll always remember
I'll never forget us

It would have been sweet
It will be once more
