Then in my car headlights a young girl I did see
I swerved hard to avoid her and hit a...

The celestial symphony begins.
A harmony of cosmic sound
Each twinkling star is a note.
Creating a melody profound

The moon, a conductor's baton
Guiding the orchestra of the night
Constellations join in, each playing its part,
With their...

I had the most beautiful musical experience…and it all begins…
with a thousand candles and four musicians…one cello and three violins.

I never liked the smell of lilacs although they were always
your favorite flower.
When did you stop bringing them home?  I never noticed,

a bore,...

I'm the rat in the maze
in his last dirty days,
choking on the hand that bleeds
I'm the lonely little child
with the creepy smile
who's seen what should never be seen
I'm the one who's blamed,

Glistening brighter then the stars that shined
Mind numbing vibrations up and down my spine

Strumming along when I'd hear that song

After many admiring morning visits
And with nature’s rusty brown and gold

we see 
her feet
her robe

drops as
the sound
track sounds

more ominous
then what we are
seeing as she steps

into the bath
pulling the final
curtain that blurs

her nakedness
but now we are
clearly in the tub

with her
as her hair
falls down in

wetness as

Soothing hush of dusks's dimming
silver glow, softly whispers sweet adieu
to the day.

Tall, lanky tulips take a bow, proud 
of brightly hued gowns on Spring's 
fashion runway.

As we walk hand in hand to the
park bandstand, string...
