Short Torch Song Poems

Gorilla My Dreams sang me a moody torch song with these lyrics:

Why does your soul feel like a hole
Wherein a mole used to hide
Why does your heart fall all apart
It will not start deep inside.

Why won't somebody make my hot toddy
Oh lawdy lawdy, oh no
Why is it scary here on the ferry
With Curley Larry and Moe....

waking to timidity of the
psyche
the day feels doomed not 
right

push through it all till night
fall
arriving home he seems so
tall

sensing weakness starts a 
fight
pushing all buttons with
insight

trying to remain calm and
strong
he wins- trophy tears
torch-song

The holiday season's over
    It lasts one day too long
  Fond memories, even insights
    scarred by her torch song

  Were I the ruler of the world
    I'd end it one day sooner
  Savor sweetness while still fresh
    from lips of festive crooners

The morning slipped away
 hours that quickly fade
stay with me a little while
 how I miss that smile.

Another Monday come and gone
 passing as the days move on
this I without you
 breaks my heart in two.

Just another song to remind me
  what will be, will be
though the years have passed
 love measured how our hearts were cast.

Piano play and torch song burned
 your love never once was spurned
and in life's aftermath
 we'll return to our joined path....

WORDS - ALOUETTE

Nightmares in my skin;
Scourging deep within.
Blood and bones sizzling abreast...
Aged tired nerves plead
from words carving bleed
to screams of cruel arrest.

Head like tomb stillness
chaining rock stiffness.
Iron hurt span rumbling din.
To endure, my gong,
stopping a torch song.
Hence, be far in any sin.
