Cinnamon skies
Okay, here’s a shot at those lyrics, aiming for that Prince-meets-Brandy-ballad-with-a-Usher-hook vibe. I've opted for an AABB rhyme scheme with some internal rhymes to add to the flow.
Title: Cinnamon Skies (For Him)
(Intro - Soft synth pads, a low bass line, and a light drum machine beat – very 90s R&B)
(Verse 1 - Prince-esque vocals, slightly

Autumnal cinnamon
Autumnal cinnamon scents the air
Tricking and treating, if you dare
Fancy costumes, ready to scare
Autumnal cinnamon scents the air
Children have bounties of sweets to share
Bobbing for apples and crafting a snare
Autumnal cinnamon scents the air
Tricking and treating, if you dare
Autumnal cinnamon scents the air
Fancy costumes, ready to scare
Children have bounties of sweets to share
Tricking and treating,

What are Cinnamon Rolls
Faerie man perched on the end of the mermaid’s bowl.
How in the world did you wind up in this horrible hole?
Mermaid swam over and said “It is not so bad.”
They feed me cinnamon rolls, made by the dad.
What are cinnamon rolls? Asked the faerie that day.
After he tasted them, he also decided to stay.
It was

Orhams Old Fashioned Donut Shop
The Cinnamon Bazooka Bun is an ardent dough
a pound of sticky heat that dissolves
the tongue in an ****** of butter.
There is an uncertain pantless fervor here
in the parked Impala, a craven pursuit of the
spiral core, winding mounds of sacchariferous frit
A cop drives by--and we shrink in our non-chalance
our frosted, reunion-phased glaze betrays no

A Dusting of Cinnamon
Drawing near to the end of May
(The month devoted to Mary)
Sweet-scented thoughts of yesterday
Immerse me in books! I tarry...
From the Spring-cleaning I should do
And progressing with my job search
Just so many books to read through!
And I love spending time at church
I made apple-cinnamon cake
With a dusting of cinnamon
Is avoiding chores a mistake?
Forgoing house-dusting, a sin?
Simple

cinnamon gingerbread horse with a happy high hey
I feel you are clopping particularly fast today
with your lovely mane and your blaze so beautifully gray
we cannot catch you as you run swiftly away

Hot Cinnamon Tea
I had a dream of you last night
A brilliant moon, silver light
On a pink sand beach in Hamilton
Or maybe it was the Caribbean
Wherever it was, it was somewhere warm
The surf in true sonata form
Flowed then stopped then ebbed again
We walked until I knew not when
And then right there in front of me
Were

Spice
What is that glow near yonder red leaf.
near a willow still sharing grief?
A gem, perhaps, or sunbeam
with drops of cinnamon.
I won't hazard guess,
but I confess
topaz gems
are nice
spice!

Cinnamon She Is My Passion Courage-
Cinnamon
You are my prayer my intercession consider
I will await forever for your soul you deliver
How I long to stroke with my hands your auburn hair
I gaze into your brown eyes and I melt in your holy kiss
I'm a devoted witness as you please and praise God
With your Holy boldness your passion so I'm encourage
Your smile

Cinnamon Drifter I Am
cinnamon drifter i am
i observe from afar
the world goes slower when time sours the stomach of life
i wish i had some white frosting as an odd sort of invisibility shield
cinnamon drifter i am
i check out her legs
i check out the booty on the next one
i check out the natural beauty on my favorite one
cinnamon drifter
