stone river girl

Current mood:ashamed
take the pony trail down the rocky mountain

on a haggard steed i'll fly alone

in the silver light

of the moon awakened

by the lonely man from the river stone


through the redwood pine with my memory callin'

on a jagged sigh i'm ridin' on

in the silver light

of a dream not taken

by the lonely man from the river stone


on the desert wind and the stars not fallen

from a lover's arms my body torn

in the silver light

of the choice mistaken

by the lonely man from the river stone


pull the hammer down stop the heart from poundin'

from the barrel live the fire explodes

in the silver light

i have been forsaken

by the lonely man from the river stone


lay me down to cry on the shores of midnight

on the blood red sand i die alone

in the silver light

of the last breath taken

by the lonely man from the river stone

time and again

Current mood:indifferent
drinking hot black coffee and listening to the shower run
your bags packed and in the hall for the road
I am so glad you'll be gone
for a time
so
I can be alone
i won't have to find something to say or explain myself again
knowing it is not worth the effort
the silence lengthens
between us
so loud
and the hollow beating of an empty heart
pulses loudly
in my viens
I leave
for a time
so
you can be alone

saddest eyes

Current mood:sad
..he sits broken
head between hands gnarled and worn
half the left one missing from the combine

soul torn open
by the notice on the table and the corn
that didn't grow so he couldn't pay

nothing spoken
she stands beside the supper keeping warm
on the stove still as stone

for the moment
seeing nothing as an ice cold panic forms
as he always knew before

how to keep them
some how always kept the wolf back from the door
but he looks now

having chosen
to see the truth with saddest eyes
the farm is gone...
