Over the Rainbow
She is fragile like an egg so l had to treat her right, she caught me when l was drowning in my lonely misery of hangovers and cigarettes with fake smiles .
I was lost in the city like a kid who left home thinking he was the man until a jersey taught him a tough lesson for stubborn hearts stumble the most l was stumbling and mumbling she reminded me of my purpose so l stood straight.
In the face of hate , judgement , doubt and hopelessness she was the peace , the common sense and she awakened me to a place of righteousness she was heavenly sent.
We made love and everytime fireworks sparked and l saw that the 4th of July existed in the expectation of paradise in her eyes she was the sweet temptation of reality.
Like the Virgin Mary , she was the Jane next door sent by the angels to make a man realize the nugget that lies over the rainbow.....
