Phenomenal Smile

did it light up his world?
did the spark of flames take his heart by storm?
lightning and thunderheads
causing a power outage in her brain cuz all the light
is shining through her eyes.

i feel no inspiration
loss of collection
of thoughts my heart remembers
and my pain forgets loving adoration
of what it all was
she stares "at the green stars beside her"
and he smiles and giggles with glee

i sing a song in my head that we made up
and sung one night so long ago while
the boy man played harp like a pro
playing an angel's song
and us both playing along
we both got hurt and cried and now
we're better friends tonight

the star's spun and i spun out
all the blame on him

the little girl is changing and wishing to forget
all her childish fancies, childish dreams
foolish demands foolish decisions
the pen stops and the ink dries along
with her tears and her life is happy
or so she says and though i don't believe her truly
i have not been called a skeptic yet.

the ring she so casually flashes is her hearts light
with out all the roses
i used to feel they all grew up without me
but now i understand that i am the one who is leaving

the boys stole into the liquor cabinet and lil tommy played
Russian roulette
who knew the price to pay
the buzz felt so great
got left behind a long with that slack jaw fear
and he thought i had no experience along with his so called
clearness of thought

but poetry is coming back and it doesn't matter if this lacks a rhyme or reason
cuz i'll end it unclearly and cheerily say
you color me happy
or i am a dreamer but i deny it til the day i die
or January 14.

more likely heal for the honey. all day long.
