Red Dress

The Bar has just called time 
and he's spent what was his last dime
Ladies and gentleman please,
Continue to mutter outside in the gutter

Scarf and Hat , its time to leave,
Walk through the streets , encounter the deadbeats
To his place in this town that should have been knocked down
Unlock's the door pulls back the bolt
Nothing worth taking , so why so painstaking
His pride has been battered and his memories shattered
No charity taken , and be not mistaken
We put him there , its our cross to bear

Straightens her picture , then tells her hell miss her
Lips smudged on the glass his tears soon will pass 
Puts on the kettle and begins to settle
In for the night so turn off the light
Good night god bless
To dream the lady of the Red dress.


Premium Member The Owl

I have become like him; nocturnal. 
Prematurely anaesthetised by exhaustion 
then jerked awake into the darkness. 
How long since I have slept 'til dawn? 
A stifled yawn veiling scurrying thoughts. 

Tennis match of emotions; back and forth; 
volleying, lobbing this way and that. 
The game, set and match of insomnia. 
Then rallying forth as dawn brings clarity. 
Despairing disparity sleeping finally. 

The silence of the night amplifies my heartbeat. 
Each breath echoes in the unsettled gloom. 
As the dawn casts its ghostly light around the room 
sleepless wakefulness wanes with the retiring moon, 
and the owl rests, fatigued by his 'whooing'. 

Unlike me he can sleep by day, the night is his time, 
not mine; I am the intruder in the darkness; 
a restless insomniac with an overactive brain. 
Sleep well majestic wise one.  No doubt, 
when night falls, I will share your company again.

Taking Happiness By the Hand

This summer was sunsets
and skipping rocks.
I took my own happiness by the hand

There was midnight adventures
after the club, with my best friends
Slinky black dress, 
and a touch of pink on my cheeks
Illuminated by the lights on the street
Lil wayne Blaring from the stereo
I took off the stilleto heels and just walked in my bare feet
The cool night air was delicious
Hitting my skin like butterfly kisses
We were the rulers of the night

UNTOUCHABLE
to
Woe

There was August rain
Solitary runs through my secret garden
I passed through the bridge over the river
I never worried about a thing.
My feet hit the wet sidewalk,
Like Godzilla in Japan, I was all mighty and Powerful

There was quiet mornings,
I drank coffee and let my paint brush
explore the vastness of canvas page
I tried to capture the essence of the night sky
Each stroke was therapeutic, and I left all painful memories of the past behind

This summer was sunsets
and skipping rocks.
I took my own happiness by the hand

Premium Member Another Sleepless Night For Me

Another night and not sleep I see on sight 
Meanwhile I just toss and turn 
I do it in bed all thru the night 
Really wishing sleeps returns 

Meanwhile I just toss and turn 
And now what's left for me to do 
Really wishing that sleeps returns 
I'm just trying to survive this night 

And what's left for me to do 
Take pills, but, that's not for me! 
Really wishing sleeps returns 
As I close my eyes and I'm dying to sleep 

Take pills, but, that's not for me! 
Oh how my head hurts I can't stop thinking 
As I close my eyes and I am dying to sleep 
Another night and not sleep I see on sight!
