friends and strangers
A Rendezvouz with Scorpio
She wears her heart on her sleeve
It’s only when the devil comes knocking
And the towers come crumbling
That she even knows at all
She wears her heart on her sleeve
Bright and beautiful for all to see
Cherried flames and crisp umber curls
Violets and scarlets
Blues and whiskey
She dreamt of him kissing her skin
And woke up in the dark
So she opened the blinds
And let the rain kiss her instead
If you take a broken ballad
Or the screams of infamy
You’ll hear her dancing
To the sounds unseen
Space Cadet
The truth of all things
The truth you were born to see
An angel was told to live among wolves
And then given sheep’s clothing
There is wonder in our world and hers too
There is a light that wolves rave for in the dark
Starlight, comets rocketing through space
Passing cadets and natives of Mars
A beauty that transcends skin
Carnelian beneath porcelain
When she speaks, starlight
When she writes, starlight
To see hidden truths is to exist in all truths
To embody all truths
In sheep’s clothing she pretends to be a lamb
And wonders if the wolves can see into her brain
It’s only a matter of time
Before Capricornus completes her climb
The air is thin on top of the mountain
But it will remind you how to breathe
Beacon, Beacon, Beacon
Beacon, beacon, beacon
He made a pot of bacon
Before he took his first bite
He told me to eat first
Beacon, beacon, beacon
I tried inviting him to the party
But he was already going
And he was about to ask me
If I wanted to go too
Beacon, beacon, beacon
The winds pick up in winter
And when we all get a little colder
We forget how to feel warm
Beacon, beacon, beacon
So I return to my beacon
To warm shores
To a mother's kind of love
