I felt your presence
I was aware
My heart was reaching
I saw you there
Skin of leather
Weathered bones
Mind, together
Yet all alone
Self sufficient
You had it covered
My need to help
Might have smothered
Your will to push
Willing persistence
Strive for pride
I kept my distance
I swept along
As though, aloof
A busy lady
With sense and cooth
The moment passed
You moved on
I stayed a while
Though you were gone

One thing I have learned in adulthood
Is that were all a little strange
each of us, a bit misunderstood
The severity has it's range
Once you become a socialite
People expose their inner truth
You witness them at twilight
Or perhaps their lack of cooth
We encompass unique impurities
Living in the shadow of what we market
We clothe our insecurities
Or our faults become target
Behind every beautiful face
There lives a weeping soul
We keep it in its place
While spiraling out of control
Ever notice how most people seem normal ?
That is, the first time you meet
Dressed in their best and formal
Their head down to their feet
With time, the normalcy fades
Their inner weirdo rings
It shocks you like a hand of spades
When the fat lady sings

Crushed velvet, indigo silk
fresh like ivy, pale as milk
She is seductive smoke
curling toward vaulted heaven
soft as a sigh not spoke
fair minded and even
Autumnal in her ways
warm as sunny rays
beautiful as she is aloof
a sprite so light and cooth
This is...was
my fairest Melody
a spirit borne of mist and steam
a figure now only stirring in a haunted dream

No I have no social graces
but my world is an oasis
for the craziest of crazies
in the town
no I don't look like a model
but I always have a bottle
full of spirits and I'll help you
drink 'em down
I ain't got no cooth
or manners
and my life don't fit on
planners
but I welcome you if you
should come around
That is if it is't Tuesday
for that really is my snooze day,
and on Weekends,well
I never can be found
Monday morning I'm at church
that may leave you in the lurch
and on Thursday I'm moonlighting
as a clown
any other time is fine except Wednesday
after nine
and on Fridays when I try to get
unwound
so you see that I am here
for you anytime my dear,
with advice that you will
find is true and sound.
