Devils and Daisies,
Dreams and Desires,
Gentlemen and Ladies,
Thieves and Liars,
I call you here to witness this,
Yet one more sweet verbal kiss,
In hopes to bring,
A thought or ponderance or cause to sing,
A new song with the message clear,
To bring you comfort and chase your fear,
Away from distraction's delicate ways,
To clear your head and lighten your days,
To bring a smile or thoughtful frown,
Perhaps you'll not wish to set this down,
And if I manage to entice your mind,
Maybe then I can remind,
You of things you'd thought were gone,
But instead were waiting to hear a new song,
And if in this you should find a fault,
Please do not toss it in the vault,
But instead then take to heart,
The reason souls seem torn apart,
When all is lost except oneself,
The only way to keep your health,
Is to sit and contemplate,
The dreams and bliss of yesterday.
