Soft Charade

Strong, but slightly decayed
Words are fumblin'
It's been always this way
Sunlight is asking in
Love. A term you use loose
You say you're in love
You just cooked your goose
It's high time you packed it in
it'll come back to you
Risk it or walk away
Center the soft charade
Sing straight from the heart
While you're pullin'
Strings from the start
Words out about the frame
Safe out on your ledge
Where no one hears you
Bets will be hedged
The outcome is still the same
it'll come back to you
Embrace it or walk away
Center the soft charade
Why are you crying, woman?

The Sight of You

Serrated thoughts split the dawn
Where the hope interred left scarred the lawn
Glory to the angels yawn
Now washing over you
Your eyes stared wide, your skin so fair
Breath grooved slow against the glow of your hair
Unnerved, in awe of the style you'd wear
Like an arrow piercing through
And what a sight to see
Brilliant, stunning, and free
With only eyes for thee
They marched right on
Past vacant fronts with ailing stairs
Amidst the throng of fossiled glares
Memory hawked its fading wares
To the barters on Busted Rue
And with hands too hurt to write
About souls bereft of light
That they'd stand with you tonight is living proof
Nothing could ever match the sight of you
Cause every wound will make its round
Sometimes stay too long in town
Often never making sound
But I'm told it's then....
That to limp is not to fail
Let the hope of pasts prevail
For when the dawn farewells it wails "It's all so true"
Nothing could ever match the sight of you
