Whiskey takes and gives in hearts spared love

As bridges of years burn passion lost

Eyes beg and pleaded for more

Something lost

Quiet night

Wakeup to what is and what is not

Want met

City takes the wink of pride in whirls

Girls feel the curls of youth hanging lonely

Smile romps into stealing eyes of warm love

Rich as the good of worth honing in fates harems

Worry picks its place riding past the release of lies

Dress-up and forget the willing arms poured in molded sighs

Late walks in ghosts giving forth anger deep kept well hurt

Night welcomes a place remembered in hiding faces

House broken in mirrors seeking most wonderful angels

Refuge found in dusty roads marked by moonbeams shallow

Breaks in clouds travel dust cast from sandals left in wheat fields

Heart explodes in favor of passion on a path followed long ago

Hands bleed to the wheel of spinning every straw into love laid

Ice grows up so fast as dread plays its flute in hallowed peace

Go if you can and pick a rose prick your finger on a thorn of life  waiting

Out in maids in a row severed from a family living in past hope  plunged

Evening an escort for the watering of wine left behind a frivolous trusting father

Comfort becomes a disport wanting more than gold or recognition

Friend you drew the queen of diamonds as the queen of hearts left  you alone again

Down in the face of pain and hunger taking you home as freedom  leaves you a prison

Leaving your feet cold in the winter of a hundred highs and lows as it  goes away

Cheating woman dries the tears from old wrinkled skin worn by the  sun and hate

Side aches from memories finding a hurt so deep nothing heals its  presence destroying

Town reaches up from ground as you stay or go in wind face on hard as life taking place

A wade takes soul from here to a path in barrowed holding dreams as old as youth

Hand softer than skin in warm expressions of passion give and shared in days passed for hope

Freedom looking can not find just  alone finished one more time
