buried it in a drift of snow
curious, i returned in spring

As the day begins to end,
Even the sun slowly drifts.

The Drug

Teasing me with freedom
Understanding finally dawns
Voyeuristically I hide
Watching myself drift
As I move away from reality

Circles

Moon is drawing circles
and you are drawing circles
and you drift farer and farer.
You will never be my husband after all.

Clouds drift
white and soft
New ones form,
then fade
Feathery edges
sweep across
Silver light glints
Grey shadows drift

The snowflakes drift upon the wind
And settle on the windowsill
But also on the winter winds
Comes the sting of winters chill

The train whistle puffs
Frail familiarity
A world passes by
Muffled train sounds die away
White clouds of smoke drift behind

as the months become dreary
as you drift away from me
your hand falls from mine
why did you leave me be?

days drift
feelings shift
nights are long

wind blows
love goes
rain will fall

hearts break

you are gone

to dream drift away 
in a bottle to journey 
where I want to play

In a bottle then I see
you in there with me

Look of Love

Your aorta's been severed this will all be over very soon.
Don't fight it.
Just look into these pretty brown eyes and drift away.

clouds drift through halos
burnishing sienna cliffs --
shady dale cups rain
