SONG FOR LINDA

 

I wrote this song for you

Although I must have dreamed you               

Still I am amazed

You have no eyes

For me to analyze

Perhaps a shade of blue

 

A tale of you and me

Delicious fantasy

Yet saturated

With uncertainty

 

True love is worth the fight

On this lonely autumn night

Forever

A long…. long time……

 

Is my soul prepared?

For the sacrifice required

Are you sincere?

The ONE that I desire?

 

Unconscious suffering

Intellectual bleed

Hope within my brain

Why are you my need?

 

Experiment in pain

Attraction surreal

Inadvertent mind games

Such rhythm…

Still I feel

 

Wishing things were different

Somehow…

Things shall all work out

Yet knowing better Linda

My mind floods with doubt 

 

Don’t toy with me dear lady

Coax me down a path that leads to nowhere

For I’m a dreamer too

Much farther gone than you

 

Fate

A b***h indeed

When it offers no completion

Whether chemical reaction

Or simply mental illness

Screaming for reaction

 

Closure is an open door

Despite the social dance

Courage to step through it

One never truly knows

If it’s our last chance…….
