Free Cee Coffee Colored Clouds
COFFEE COLORED CLOUDS
I remember a time of damaged days
And nights of a negative nature
I recall those years of woeful ways
And an era of negative nomenclature
First those days spoke bright as neon
Every coffee sunrise glowed like her eyes
But then those days turned into nights of Freon
While cloistered coal colored clouds were claiming the skies
She’d offer me a cigarette with grace and aplomb
But doom often blooms where beauty once grew
Alas love begot a bride of anguish with ambiguity as her groom
While crooked Christians prayed in a putrid pew
Christians praying while unholy flames were fanned
Somewhere on a secluded and sun-bathed beach
Their prayers dissipated in a labyrinth of a lonely land
While the moon vowed me magic well out of reach
So let me recap for those who were otherwise distracted
There were damaged days and negative nights
Time was filled by a woman to whom I was far too-attracted
Until disaster duly devoured such delicate delights
