My Dreams...Like Oysters Brokenopenat the Seams
Sandpipers soar around us
say go home
You must not spoil the sunset
with your lies
your feeble tries
at resurrecting love
Go home and leave
the seashells on the shore
retrace your tracks
not welcome anymore
Your jaded eyes
rebuke the setting sun
reflecting all the things
you've said and done
shake out your blanket filled
with sandy dreams
like oysters broken open
at the seams
to spill their treasured
pearls
for your disdain
you've come to reap
the spoils of love again
Take not these tokens
offered by the sea
just leave them here
for eyes of love to see
