Whispering wondrous messages on the wind
You speak through shapes in my hair...

She fluttered demure lashes
And licked full rosy lips...

Haunting cries echo in chasms of days
And loneliness smothers at night...

Empty out the oceans and let them all drain dry,
Orphan every being and listen to them cry...

The cheerful chirps are fewer now
Proud plumage plucked and bare...

Under a moonless cloud
You shift along my spine...

This dance we do is out of step
No harmony and no respect...

Caught somewhere in a place I can't reach,
Emotions engulf and conspire to harm...

Loves me, loves me not
It's really hard to tell...

Dolly please listen to me
You really are barking up the wrong tree...

When did life become so slow
Despite these years I've naught to show...

Thundering clouds and rumbling waves
Crushed the bones of those who were brave...
