The radio plays their song
And two hearts beat as one
To the rhythm of a tune they call their own.
The gold and platinum vinyl spins
Creating the sound where love begins.
If only for the moment, they have...

at the table to eat. Grandma couldn’t be found!

Dear Library,

It's me, Angel,
Do you remember me?
Of course, you do,
For how could one forget?
A constant presence,
A companion through my highs and lows.

I write to express my gratitude,
For being my sanctuary in high school,
A refuge from...

The shadow
Of your betrayal
Hangs over me like a dark blimp
Hiding
My mountain

The mountain I go to, to meditate.
The Mountain where I go to seek Peace.

It was lit before by the Sun above
But now your blimp blocks...

Staring in the mirror,
 listening to a tune or two;
 quite  a few.
 Feeling overwhelming,
 yet, spanking brand new.
 
Heart spinning to a rhythm,
 deja vu',
 once before, a simple, yet  complex groove.

Together they forged a life
Beginning during the great depression 
They never had much to show for their hard work 
Except the seven of us children 
We gave them pain, we gave them joy,

Dawn, Angie, Glori and Dale —
model citizens led the way
to their stage, all the rage
for seconds in time.

Blood rained down like teardrops
Down her cheeks and to the floor
Her head was resting on my lap
And she took breath no more

Cares as wasteful as moonlight

Angie,
You didn't like the song
Dude played for you
'cause you think it's about a junkie

I was good to you
For nothing
Really
No love interest
No taking advantage
Just a starving artist
Living in your car
I tried to help 
Just a human...

I don't know you
With your gratitude you make my day
Each little sentence thoughtfully commented

Compliments that resonate
touch a chord, fill a need
assuage hunger
for the wonder 
of comforting genuine words of praise
uplifting
absorbing moments

So excited, I was to be going
to dance at Purdue U...
And on a blind date, too!
Aunt Angie mixed her magic hair

To turn me into a blond bombshell.
Well, at least...that was her notion.

Tragically for me, my...
