INTO THE SUNSET

 sat and watched
 you walk
into the sunset
ah my love
my heart is filled
with so much regret.
maybe i shouldn't
have let you go
but love affairs
they do come
they do go.
you know fate
has its' own plan
known to god
but not to any man
sat and watched
you walk away
so much unsaid
so much left to say.
into the sunset
my tainted love
now i'm left
with just regret.

AMERICA...WHAT HAPPENED

america
you used to love me
embraced me
took me in as your own
encouraged me to speak up
to shout out
to stand up
against injustice
to use my voice
as a calling card
for not only myself
but for those that are too weak
or too young
too old or
too tired.
america
you used to love me
i used to occupy your mind
now
i occupy wall street
america
...can you tell me what happened?

DARK LOVE

we cannot be together
you and i
not now
not ever
not the way
the world looks
at us
not the way
you look at me
my dark love
midnight dreams
on the rocks
false hope
elusive schemes
we can never be
my dark love
my lost ecstasy
in my thoughts
my fading fantasy.
