MOODSWINGS

vibrant tides

Picture

intoxication

​City lights
Reflect in the raindrops
Sprinkled across panes of glass...
Night song pulsed through me,
Shimmering into the first shades of morning.
I delight in the silvery euphoria
Of liquid voices,
Bassy beats that tremble my body,
And electronic melodies
That echo a post-modern reality.
I sway into the throbbing crowd,
Feeling the passions of a  generation:
Love, agony, lust, tragedy--
We crave release,
Thrashing about in a moment of dance.
Surreal lights flash to hypnotic rhythms,
Glowing colors illuminate
Beads of sweat sizzling on skin,
And I surrender to the night,
Relishing in its sweet intoxication.

cool pants

​No one could say
What made her day
What made her play
With words that dance
In a taken chance
She came and went in a passing glance
But my, she had cool pants...

soulburst

​Slow rumbles dictate the tide
Something inside
Calls the warning
The soul is ready to 
Erupt --!--
And dance til morning
Rhythm convulses
Sweet bass pulses
A heartbeat loud enough to hear
Bursting free
From chains that hold me
Restraints stem from fear...
I don't need them
I can't be them
Can't they see?
I need to be...
Just free...

sass

​From across the room
Something just grabs you
A smouldering sass,
An elegant class
A rhythm you're into...
Tonight, let's banter,
Let's interact
Let's play the game--
The idealistic blur
Of fiction and fact.

summer ale

I had a Summer Ale
So I could pretend I wasn't chilled to the bone
I sat at the bar
So I could pretend I wasn't alone
I glanced at my watch
Although I had nowhere to go
Funny how when it wants to
Time moves so slow
I sat waiting for something to come my way
Sipped my Summer Ale

​And listened to the music play
