An Ode for David

Inspiration
From a lopsided table?
Words written down
Told as a fable
Strange request you have
My dear friend
Inspiration I will find
This I do intend

Splintered skin
In a corner rest forgotten

Blue-Eyed Metaphor

Love is just a game we play
At least that’s what they say
But then the man in the moon
Disappeared and abandoned his stage

You left with all your good intentions
Like a dress laid out but then neglected
Left me in a state I cannot mention

You’re just a blue-eyed metaphor
For all that’s wrong with this life
Words deliver my frustrations
Give love my consolations
I’ve taken all I can stomach
And it’s time I move on to better days

Go ahead and forge
A picture in my mind
I’ll try my best to forget
Because your love is as valid

Armadillo Streets

The dust has just begun to settle
Forming crop circles in the carpet
Oil marks kiss the walls
Where pleasure moments hung before
Spin me around one last time
Disappear with the walking sun

Before you pack your things
Vagabond shoes have lead you nowhere
But further away from home
Look down that road lonely traveler
Before you turn to leave
Just a tumbleweed blowing aimlessly
Along armadillo streets

Count the days as they barely move
Denying you didn't stop you from coming
Consumed under the trance of the moon
Enter Casanova
