Ballad of a Wintered Songster

Brandy and Crème soda Autumn summons us Shoulder to shoulder We know not If we’re getting older We are self confident soldiers I give you the best Of my brandy and Crème soda March Early and on we shall Through these days of despair Autumn prevails Ways to soften Whom could offer such a touch A warm letter in the mail Growing adolescents A young man The consequences that follow A growing male The turmoil that soothes us Is growing ale The spice that tips ginger Snaps a small town singer “I love you” It’s going to be a long winter Shall we withstand This duration as centered Look to no one For flaws seem to dissolve our mentors Passion is Rum Whiskey endures cold nights and un-sober palms A rapist telling me “I love your mom” A young harlet calling “dear love come home” A shelter From where doubt comes The city’s filth Why it loves only my lungs I’m good, I’m fine Expressions in a glass of wine Through these words A strangers poetry You and I have become intertwined I’m lost, I’m alone I feel as though I’ve become undone Run, run, away and fast On to no where, as orphans We were found at last
