| Indigo Moods black moods blue moods but man oh man! ain't nothin like them Indigo moods when every song sings your story every heartbreak aches with yours in 3/4 time when no one calls and there's nothin on tv and a sunset you'd die to see in any other mood but these Indigo moods they last all day ain't nothin you can do but let 'em slip away |
| Meeting You New day New face I wonder how often I'll see this face in the future will I look forward to it with smiles or avoid it with frowns? shall it become as dear and familiar as my own or remain strange with me struggling to to place it? So many faces pass through a persons life will yours, blue eyes so serious, remain or will it drift away with tomorrow? |
| My Shallow Friend You are as shallow as the stream that runs through my backyard making a lot of noise as you tumble over stones too fast to really know them never giving enough of yourself to quench my curiosity. You ran by me, I was still and quiet, and plunged into a ravine. For the moment you were airborne I saw your sad eyes and longed to catch you in a deep pool and give you peace, but you rushed smiling to the floor of the ravine and I never saw you again. |
| Not Empty you've built an idea of my function in your life based on the symbology of anatomy but I am not mpty I'm not a vessel to be filled with your concerns and needs not a container to be put to use I may seem hollow and flighty to you my dreams and plans groundless but let me assure you that this body carries within things of substance objects of worth filled wit h ideas to be cared for problems to solve dreams to nuture I've made room for others room to interact room to help room to breathe just because I have allowed you space do not think of me as passive for within lurks a dragon |
| Overlooked How could you not see me? Have we never talked? Have we never laughed? Your eyes are deep and dark Did I see thing that weren't there? Like crystal balls full of midnight Full of constellations Did I see your heart? Or did I want to too badly? |
| Slow Heartbreak You and I we just sit back getting high on arcane knowledge. With good wine and discount chocolate we dissect heaven, hell, God... As the night grows rich we dream of our pasts, presents and futures... I confess, you conceal. Dissatisfied, I walk home, following Orion, wondering why you never smiled when you knew I was looking. |
| So Full So full of thought, confused by the serenity, we sit in silence. Perfectly content except for the nagging feeling that there's so much we need to say and discover and the fear that speech will break the spell..... |
