Le Petite

That stubborn curl wrapped 'round my fingers
As you place your head in my hands
The scent of your soap always lingers

The night is quiet and eerie
A soldier awaiting commands
I hear your heart beating clearly

The pace gains a beat, then a breath
I feel like I'm frequently falling
Caught between life and death

Stars burst forth in front of my eyes
Your name, I'm steadily calling
As from the dead, I rise

Braggart

Braggart

Haranguing tongues wag everyday

Harpies hardly stop nagging

It’s a cross between lying and bragging

To assume yours is the only way

New things happen everyday

Wouldn’t want to be the one lagging

Who set new tongues to wagging

It’s better to stay out of the fray

Step to the beat of a different drum

Be careful in all that you say

Eventually the good things will come
