inspiration, baby

sweet faced girl with
eyes of silver blue
a bright pearl
my sparkling jewel
lovely in repose
if i could
i’d sweep you up
and dance a
ballerina dance with you

sweet faced girl with
eyes of silver blue
let wings of mother
angels carry you
your light always shines through
inspiration, baby, so divine
what is, is
i can go on with what I have left
if you’ll just know my heart was true

…and even after all this time
it can still make me feel
white bread and average
the cloyingly mushy middle
of a brilliant girl sandwich
