Kamala 01:33
Fleeting pirouette Her heel grinds the ground With one single pinch She lifts a tired town Held to the chest Two birds of a feather Half and Half Husk Our words on a tether Bound cinnamon rim American Spirit lush My soul, solute To the brew of her blush In our nest of time Once again we part My name on my mug Her name on my heart

Carraway 03:40
The whispering winds Love to kiss your naked shins As you touch my fingertips To your rose petal lips The summer had fallen And so had the leaves The day I begged you To Stanton Beach Tall grasses And fields of grain Led to a scene Framed in Obsidian rain Raw Umber Beneath our toes As the old Rogue’s dock Ebbs and Flows The summer had fallen And so had the leaves The day I begged you To Stanton Beach Towards the water Hand in hand As the clay below Slowly turns to sand So I drop down to one knee And ask my very best girl To marry me The summer had fallen And so had the leaves The day I begged you To Stanton Beach I know I’ll never Forget that day The day I stole your heart And we ran away

about

The inevitable degradation of the hapless romantic, whose rose-tinted delusions of the past saturate his alternate reality, cultivating expectations of the future that are unrealistic and insurmountable.

With this personal constitution there is vulnerability, and an inherent inability to cope with the often disappointing present.

Expectation is the mother of disappointment, and so the romantic digs a tomb from which he cannot escape, where his headstone stands, composed of a life's divested essence.
