LA or Carolina Clay
Purple phone on the piano
Red rings sing of missed rendezvous
I’m sure it is my fuchsia fellow
But what’s a cocoa girl to do
I’m in love with music and neon notes
Are so fun to tangerine discover
His heart amethyst art full of hope
But melodies are my mahogany lover
He beckons me with a turquoise tease
I’m the man, you’re my mocha lady
Would you pink please marry me
Leave your home do as I say baby
Now I know no other Caramel folks
Who live in the teal thrills of L.A.
I’m quite content on the east coast
With bare brown feet in Carolina clay
If it’s deep I should be blues free
Throwing cherry caution to the wind
My music is peace and my purple poetry
Have been my companion and friend
I’m a strange bird for I love his white words
Of desire to be wed and sandy such
But it feels free to just be green
Like a single note of a lone song bird
My friends say you must move away
If he is to be your beloved husband
But the music is moving me to stay
The thought of leaving despite lovin
I really haven’t made a choice
Was born a single lady in December
Perhaps in praying to the lord
He will soon solve my humble dilemma
Music is my first love and
Poetry is song of word
I suppose if love is strong enough
I’d fly like a prized white dove
