Promises

Daylight dreams of the guileless siren

Came in riding the sunbeam train

She was a bit underdressed

Hair wind tossed and messed

And the dream said ride me

Take me…

This is you ticket to Utopia

Change into your favorite mania

The guileless siren pirouetted

The throbs rose and abetted

The diaphanous sight

Whispered in delight

Shimmered a bit translucently

In the dusty sunlit room mildly

And the guileless one

Slowly sung her song

This is you ticket to Utopia

Change into your favorite mania

Afterthought

She asked me if I would notice her again

As she was walking in the summer rain

Her, an angel, animated and yet lifeless

Could I not, I said to the siren in distress

In her absence, the nightmares

Drive into my mind, always without a care

And even as I stare

Into the morning glare

What troubles us, I ask

Hidden in our dreamy mask

The guileless siren

Once now, and once again?
