Lauren's Song

Mmkay. So this is a song I wrote for my friend Lauren. I'm not really sure about the order of things yet, but I'm sure it'll work itself out. :)

VERSE 1

She’s my fiduciary

I’m her singing canary

Together, we’re quite a team

She flaunts innocent guile

My palaver makes her smile

And bad weather makes her scream

-

CHORUS

Oh, she’s a silly little girl

Carries the troubles of the world

In her ocean eyes

She’s a melancholy child

Can’t remember when she last smiled

But I know the tears she cries

-

VERSE 2

I play for her piano tunes

When she visits on afternoons

In the lazy summer time..

She tells me of her sorrows

I remind her of tomorrow

She's the reason to my rhyme

-

that's all I have so far.

Places To Go, People To See...

I'm off to Atlanta, Georgia for the weekend! Hoorah!

An Exchange of Words

His words clattered through the air and landed,

tangled and troubling,

at her feet.

She shrank away from the quivering mass, kicked it away from her.

It crawled back to wind around her, filling her with doubt and confusion.

Her rose lips parted slightly in uncertain conflict.

Words blossomed in her throat, but could not rise to meet the night air.

Her eyes, holding the green of a fern in the rain forest, met his- cold and gray as the sea in a storm.

What she saw in his silent gaze...none can say.

But when she had seen what was there, she turned her head away.

Warm tears may have danced down her cheek.

A terrible sob might have torn her throat.

Her feet led her away, quicker and quicker,

into the unknown dawn.

She hasn't returned since.

"Such a shame and such a pity,"

Said the one who wrote the ditty

She was kind, and sweetly pretty

But not enough for this sad city.
