I know your face as I know my own
And yet
One odd glance
Surprised your outside looking face
Odd
I thought I knew you so well
And yet, there you were
A stranger

So many years have gone by since we met
By the firelight
I remember asking you what you were thinking about
And listening
Since then it can't be that I haven't listened
Just never asked again.

- 1985 (?)

=================

I went to church
With you
You lit two candles
One for me
One for you
You said a prayer
I don't know for who
I said a prayer that only said "Amen"
For you

========================================
This one was written by a 24 year old for her mom...

Her dreams were like those of any woman
The well lit table, the balanced day
Smoothly ironed clothes, smarlty furnished home
Plays, concerts - the very best seats
Full happiness on a meagre income
Fun and games, gossip and chatter
Her dreams were like those of any woman

She awoke before her dreams began
And never slept soundly again.

- (1985) (?)
======================================

The sun fades
he night descends
The golden sky turns to black
I'm left alone

The wailing of a child
Somewhere
The bark of a dog
pierces the night
leaving me terrified.

Sleep evades
And hope deserts me
The hours go by
Loneliness envelops like a shroud
on a living corpse

- 1983 (?)

With spreading night
My heart grows darker
Blacker and blacker in the absence of color
And hides
Behind the plush curtains of past
But darling
Where will you stab ?
Do what you may
I shall always come back
A beggar
Travelling in a taxi cab !

- 1984 (?)
