Just like a slowly rolling tide
A jet trail sails across the sky
Drifting past the shell-shaped moon
A surreal moment gone too soon
It may not be the best I’ve seen
Tinged with smoke and grenadine
But it goes down smooth, this evening sky
So raise your glass a mile high
‘Cuz it tastes like a Malibu sunset
As close to the beach as I can get
Palms and powerlines mar my view
As I lie here and drink a few
My back to the earth, on solid ground
They say you can’t fall while lying down
Well, if that is what you really think
Perhaps I’ll have just one more drink.

Zoological mental state.
Yesterday's news brings trouble to today's date.
Xylophones ringing playing tunes of my sorrow.
Willing to give it all for a moment I can borrow.
Venus Flytraps eating away at my soul.
United we once were, I was whole.
Tragedy promoted our separation.
Scenes of lucidity remain of our immense devastation.
Responsive to avail.
Quietly singing to your lost soul as my eyes swell.
Picking away at cotton from this worn out sweater.
Oscillating thoughts, the pain is far from better.
No sunshine to illuminate the present.
Malice lingering in my heart is a vicious weapon.
Like a grenade awaiting explosion.
Kin on the branches of my family tree have ceased motion.
Juxtaposed to bitter benefits.
Impossible for a valued object to ignite any sentiment.
Head spinning like a whirlwind.
Grenadine mixed with tequila doesn't slow the spin.
Fishing for hope in a pool of disparity.
Enduring the loss of a creature of such rarity.
Descending to a place where the sun has no feasible presence.
Crippled by the memory of your warm essence.
Baffled by the mystery of life's lessons.
A life without you is one of constant regressions.

For breakfast what's better, mama?
Yogurt? Grenadine and cologne!
Promise to live with no drama
And live alone.
All words with lies are intertwined
For words you are held liable
Please, try not to multiply lies
And keep silently viable
With a stetoskope God-in-chief
Hears that inside it's dark and cold.
Forbid yourself towering grief
So you'll be heard.

Just get some cream, grenadine, egg white, and dry gin.
A cocktail shaker with cracked ice is where they go in.
Strain that concoction into a stemmed glass.
There you have a drink with a lot of class.
The name may come from a Broadway musical.
That musical was written by Ivan Caryll.
Other stories of its origin continue to exist.
It’s another cocktail that comprises a long list.
The drink is an old one that maintains popularity.
This cocktail is known as a “Pink Lady”.

BORN BLIND TO THE UNICURSE
Please advise me when I can open my eyes
Until then closed shall they be
I’m blinded and deafened to any lies
As angry grows the sea
I refuse to see the sadness I’ve seen
I won’t look at the ugliness mankind can’t deny
So give me a Jack with a beer back and a bit of Grenadine
As angry grows the sky
Were I to open mine eyes as of now I know what I’d see
I’d see the same waste and an eight year old kid with a gun
So why would I want to see the greedy, the needy and junkies like me?
As angry grows the sun
‘tis wrong to see what we’ve done to the earth
And now living on this planet has become a caustic curse
Our society is a monument to the death of merriment and mirth
As angry grows the universe

Rose grenadine lips
twinkle eyes of ice to melt
