I stare out the window, into
a blank space, echoes of an
empty mind, no comfort
comes of it, nothing but
a longing, for something
For someone, to comfort
me, hold me, and remind me
everything will be okay, four
simple words, for me, a
complex piece, in which
the puzzle, missing a corner
Can never be
Completed, or
Whole

I’ve risen from my earthly bed
I prefer to be on top, instead
Of six feet under, where I may
Lose the passing time of day
I want to be above the lands
With my fiddle, in my hands
Playing to the sky, and sun
With a simple pluck, or a searing strum
Yes, my music summons, my dear Raven
Who guards me closely, in my haven

She dyes her hair, paints her face
Dresses to the nines, awaits his embrace
Lipstick, crimson, as red as blood
Skin so soft, like a flower’s bud
Perfumed wrists, her baubles gleam
She prays this night is not a dream
His ravishing smile, her heart skips a beat
She who stands here, alone, on the street
She wonders aloud, “Will he postpone?”
Minutes, hours, no text on her phone
Realizing she’s being used, like a tool
She hangs her head down, feels like a fool
Gets back in her car, as fast as she can
Never again, will she wait, for a man

Like crystal diamonds, reflects
In prismatic hue
