Bewitching Sadness



Bewitching Sadness

Into the darkness of melancholy I drift
Then I see her sitting in a summer dress on a park bench
Her legs cross over and so my mood rises
On this blue sky afternoon, cheeky surprises

It’s your birthday she calls, in that sweet Texan drawl
My emotions rise as memories throw off their disguise
As in a dream, did mama just now embrace me?
So long ago when life was like cotton candy

And in dusk’s light, my imagination and memory run amok
And at any point other than immediate, it’s all the same stasis
As thunder rumbles from the melancholic clouds
Triggers the reminder that cracks those rosy spectacles

The significance of reality is awaking from a day dream
As I look across and see her beautiful blonde hair tossed and waved
Her nonchalance, her beauty, my trance
My gratitude to her for casting my spellbound soul dance
