Edie
The land within his sight,
an old man and his star,
a voyage full of strife,
he sets his almond eyes
birds sing on the tar,
strain their voices high,
sweep summer to the sky,
the moon is up so far,
hope sings on midnight wires,
alone in this lasting light,
a door is still ajar,
maybe she's there his wife,
still minds all the fights,
when she left the farm,
someone understood his plight,
brought her back tonight,
home away from Casino bars,
if he plays it right,
his cards all marked.

The moon hesitates,
it knows where I've been,
wind blows through the slates,
the clock ticking boom,
singing out the scene,
me running from that room,
I live on generous estates,
brave enough to dream,
try to keep from being fake,
there's things I'll never rue,
the songs that beat within me,
stuff as sweet as perfume,
what makes me really quake,
is the thought of need,
rescue me God my maker,
laugh at why I'm schooled,
best has come to be,
dance the love of fools,
only to be free.

Could you even care,
why i feel so rotten,
swollen beyond a dare,
have you read the news,
sod your open wallet,
i'm not in love with you,
your hand around me curls,
sniggers when I startle
your money's Tiger rare,
carry on with your blues,
under trees or car parts,
i'll bathe in the truth,
anchors keep me turned,
ships roll by forgotten,
you give nothing to learn,
go cold at your crude,
God is not for mocking,
think I'm stripping nude,
no flags have been unfurled,
you won't see me rocking,
not me you've twirled,
lost among the blossom.

She seeks explosive release,
what she cannot find,
nothing seems to please,
she won't hear good news,
love is just a chime,
a cover up for truth,
in a touch of blasphemy,
she doesn't do sublime,
less anyone miss a treat,
why disguise the truth,
or nourish other's mind,
she's never there for you,
just shakes her car keys,
winter in warm climes,
her path is no Odyssey,
yet filled with solid needs,
she doesn't have to mime,
will never stamp her feet,
makes her own rhymes.

Hate the way you look,
you tell lover's lies,
all the money you took,
it's a poor welcome sight,
sunshine on the lilac,
when you act so cool,
but no more hooks,
it's useless to try,
my knife's to your jug,
always say you're right,
C'mon don't deny,
how life gets spliced,
whatever way you choose,
I'll dance in the night,
you won't make me spook,
wave goodbye to good times,
catch me in midflight,
always ask for sunshine,
never reason why.

Sweet talk makes you grin,
just say perhaps,
never just a candy Jane,
silken wraps you've thrown,
bridal days collapse,
face moulded like a stone,
plates occasionally spin,
nothing holds you fast,
makes you turn or crimp,
life is what you own,
if they think that crass,
consider them done,
you're not very slim,
now time has passed,
but who's the one lifting,
dancing on brown chairs,
singing songs that last,
your eys hardly there,
keep it steady or trim,
your love to the gas,
turn the flame an inch,
make it last.

I dream of their class,
silken not torn,
listening to a voice rasp,
struggling to be born,
broken on heaps of bones,
i feel forlorn,
run into the traps,
like dancing on corns,
am a modern day iconoclast,
shuddering at what's bought,
thinking it crass,
a penny for your thoughts,
was it ever that crap
a paragon of good form,
that stashed me under burlap,
doesn't do to be overwrought,
just want to be gone,
fill life with good thoughts,
how to break this fast,
it's useless i'm blown,
ride the next mountain pass,
throw the next stone.
