Iridescent
Shining through infinite luminary lenses
Launching over veritable eternities
Yellow orchids unfold
Aside navy daisies
Irreplaceable
A light will always yield silhouettes
Wavering in listless lingering

Mystery Together
She doesn't know about you
And I'm sure he doesn't know about me
Nobody is supposed to know
It spares everyone the hurt
I'll never know who you're thinking about
When your lips meet mine
But you don't know where my mind is
So we're both a mystery
But we both must remain a mystery
Letting others think
That "we" don't exist
That there isn't any "us"
So that nobody gets hurt
That we are under the cover of night
Under the covers together
In a place we don't belong
Because we can't seem to belong
To someone else
Without these feelings interfering
Pretending they don't exist
So that our real lives can go on
Escaping sometimes into fantasy
Where we explore something
That would destroy them
But keeps calling us back in
The Sound of Nobody
It was odd to wake up alone
For the first time in my entire life
There was nobody else
Just me, myself, and I
And none of them get along
There was nobody to make breakfast for
Nobody to wake up on the sofa
There was nobody in the top bunk
Sleeping past noon
There was no head on the pillow
Sitting cold next to mine
Nobody stirring in another room
Getting ready to make coffee
That I wasn’t going to drink
Nobody fell asleep in the armchair
After a late-night movie
Nobody stealing my cigarettes
Nobody pouring a morning cocktail
There was nobody in my shower
The only think that I could sense
Was silence upon the air
And I began to wonder
How long this isolation would last
Hoping that it was temporary
Praying it would not last
Fearful of things staying the same

Just Believe
Sparkling wine at midnight
The best of company
To cheer in the new year
We laughed and hugged
And I knew everything would be OK
Because the smiling faces
Looking ahead to the new year
Told me I would be fine
I will let that guide me
In this new year
In this new decade
If they think I’ll be OK
I should just believe
Because I have no reason not to
