Brown eyes won’t you tell me
What is it that you seek?
What is that echo in your voice
I hear each time we speak.
...
The city's heart beats through the night
The arteries still oozing blood,
That trickles through the urban streets
To meet the dawn and be a flood.
...
It was a slow dog day
At the end of May
In the silver star saloon.
The place was as bleak
...
You took my hands
Though they were cold,
Redeemed my body
Young for old.
...
How wonderful the night
When long felt passions meet,
The touch of silk on silk
Caressing hands and feet.
...
You're the poison in the marrow
You're the harbingers of war,
Like a pestilence upon us
You're the oil on the shore.
...
As months side into fall
Dull evenings gather in.
October’s bedroom chill
Creeps under summer spreads.
...
Weep willowy tears
Spilt innocence in amber,
Gracing bounteous yield.
...
Alice in the morning
Was a foil for the sunrise,
Her eyes were filled with splinters
Of another sleepers dream.
