Blue Silks
"Blue Silks"
Love let it slide
chicanery unchained
truth always finds a way
blue silks
pinned to a wall
swapping hate
for love writes
appalled
footprints like tears
spill across empty pages
in unforgiving ribbons
like blackbirds singing
in the dead of dark night
flying to be free

"Blackbird singing
in the dead of night
Take these broken wings
and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting
for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing
in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes
and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting
for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly,
Into the light of a dark black night"
