You are the Music
'You are the music', the guitar strings of my favourite song.
Your lyrics 'touch my life,' as you are the twin to my soul.

The Sun CirclesStarting full, a beauty complete.
The sun circles and circles once more.
The toll it came and so they fall.

'Fraid to be seen kneeling at their leaf;

Miss Little Insane
When it's all 'gone,' we're 'cryin' for love' and affection.
'Coast to coast' 'this life' is 'the only one' we get to live,

Like the 'big sky,' for you...

Its colorwise veil disperse on her snagged back—
By morning, she lays her black cup down
For she is the will of light.

Like a rolling stone she could not stay.

Lost To The Four WindsFiendish, they encapsulate strawberries;

Phantasms won’t let go of the fields
lost to the four winds of conflagration;

Lost to the four...
