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 © 2009…..free cee!
