Ian -
Enchanted by blue eyes unknown
and lips already spoken for
piano hands strumming strings
mesmeric notes forever sing
devoted man with driving dreams
drains his soul on ivory keys
afflicted with uncertainty
understood sympathetically
Bottomless Bedroom -
Dancing skin floats in the air
Spinning silver in a square
Songs unheard of fill the room
Heart beats happy to the tune
Walls that can't hush a scream
Illuminated by a screen
Darkness falls and stars soon rise
Feeling stoned off lovesick highs
Swallow happiness; inhale bliss
Emotions welcome to persist
Pants of romance knock on doors
Passion drips out from their pores
Creates magic with his hand
Takes her to the Promised Land
Germany -
Fighting sadness with her mind
it shaves her heart like orange rind
tiny pieces on the floor
beaten up, tender, sore
devastation in the air
damage done beyond repair
inability to regress
no control leaves her a mess
in attempt to win this war
lack of time defeats once more
