Nights lost to a struggle
unable to shut down
a mind that is filled with
wandering dreams
and obsessive thoughts
constantly invading, reminding
of things to be done
in the waking dawn
that comes too quickly

Big silver bird up in the sky
Fly me to the moon
We must hurry, no time to waste
I have to be there soon
I want to sit above the world
And watch its changing wonder
Before mankind destroys it all
And puts us all asunder
The life we lead will surely be
Our imminent demise
We cannot brush this all away
Our planet slowly dies
We need to stop the chemicals
We spread across the land
And go back to the simple ways
It all goes hand in hand
As I look down upon the blue
As beautiful as can be, please
Care for her as you would yourself
She belongs to you and me

Cold, creamy frozen confection
swirled in a glass chamber
drenched in warm fudge
oozing down the sides
sprinkled with pieces
of colorful confetti, covered
in billowing clouds
of luscious cream
topped with crimson

Like a moth to a flame
I am drawn to you
Knowing if I get too close
You will burn me
Yet I fly ever closer
Unafraid to feel the fire

She is standing
in the middle of a room
filled with blank faces
Gesturing hands move about
in a strange rhythmic pattern
speaking in silence
She looks around
hoping to catch an eye
but no one sees
Surrounded by many
she is alone in the crowd
