Cat Urns and Chandeliers
The children are grown and gone
I'm four grand in the hole
from pet cremations and such.
Just two of us are left to the will of the dust
With less distractions and hodge podge plans
life has taken on a hue of fledgling madness.
Alone is our mutual garment.
So, tell me dear what have we... left
a single dull

Chandeliers In The Sky
Hear our voice
From the east, west, south, and north
Hear our independence
This July Fourth
Like flowers in bloom
In the night
See the chandeliers
Hang in the sky
With crescendos and
Reds, blues and whites
Explosions and commotion
In the battle lights
In the bomb blasts and bombast
Crimsons, umbers and beige
Like the dawn’s breaking light
Mauves, cobalts and jades
All the high-lights and sky-lights
Caught by the American’s

Jukeboxes and Crystal Chandeliers
The ‘Jerk,’ the ‘Frug, the ‘Freddie’
The ‘Pony,’ the ‘Chicken’ the ‘Limbo’
all gone the way of my old stereo…
Yet ballroom dancing keeps coming back

Waterfall Chandeliers
Listen to the
ticking hands of twilight,
close your eyes,
while I take your thoughts
to an ivory reverie of
flickering fantasies…
there I’m cruising
above an
island of mystery
in a flying
glass catamaran~
glazed in
fairy sparkles.
Watching the
shimmering sea
swallow flaming rays
of the sinking sunset,
I slowly dive

Art of God
She is outstanding
She is my mind's understanding
Blinded by her smiles, I need remanding
For her my heart, is so demanding
I feel like an aircraft, who's never landing
I think I loved her before I knew her
Grasses grew on the heart that was bare
She brightens up my day, she's such a flair
So I am devoted, I mean I

Winters Fallen Chandeliers
winters fallen chandeliers
lying on the ground as diamonds
deadly serious on the freeway
crystalized, icy and dangerous
delivered by Jack Frost
cold smooth glass
magic of winter

The Golden Chandeliers Glow
The room was alive with colour, dancing rainbows swirling under the glowing golden chandelier.
Laughter filled the air, no one noticed the young girl tending to a single tear.
The warmth of the room was not felt upon her pale skin, she felt only the harsh frost of her fathers love.
The white ivory keys from the piano

Cherubs and Chandeliers
The blur serenades a concoction from source
Imaginary candles, stand appropriately spread
Cherubs highlighting my life time of course,
In case here before you, my carcass is dead.
I breath the lament in the wisp of a moment
Pretending to die where the chandelier shines
I sit up in comfort, and here with the content
Of speaking with angels, I'm seeing
