I weep at the tiny table
I wipe my crying eyes
He called a specific shade of saddest blue
A sort of grey-toned sapphire 
in the Maryland moonlight
There’s a despondent nature to their hue

I said, “They’ve seen some things…”
Wandered wonders,
Blundered blunders…
Now, I sit in my clutter
Prepare the painful process
to get my life on track
But everything I paint
is a picture of no progress
I toss another failure in my stack

Depictions of daisies
Drowned in navy 
So they appear black 
Piled to the ceiling
Visually unappealing
Acrylic cracks

I sometimes wish I could save them
or somehow recreate them
but the pigment bled and 
there’s nothing I can do
with palettes of sorrow
from Picasso I borrowed
that only have versions of blue 

Baby he’d call me in bed
Aqua wave on the beach where we met
Sky came falling down on my head 
Slate like metal on the jet when he left
Navy man succumbed to his fear
Royal pain in the morning mirror
Midnight snacks help me persevere
Denim don’t zip but it did last year

Sky I screamed to it and cursed his name
Baby I was one people were ashamed
Turquoise tears pouring down like rain
Cobalt heart and ice in my veins
Navy sailor left me MIA
Royal order couldn’t make him stay
Denim scarred with holes and stains
Opal ring flushed down the drain

He says I’m overdramatic
I can’t see it’s over, traumatic 
I’m symptomatic 
Breathing asthmatic
Speaking emphatic
Scene cinematic 
My tricks acrobatic
When he calls them my tactics
I get so erratic 
It’s not democratic
Cause if I got to vote
It’d be automatic

He’d be
In full color next to me

Baby blue sunsets mixed with orange and pink
Aqua waves would float our frozen drinks 
Sky he’d lift me to it and our legs would link
Ice cold water but we’d never sink 
Navy ocean, we’d swim all night 
Royal order don’t sleep till daylight
Denim shorts, swept away, that’s alright
Opal ring, one knee, love for life 

It’d be overly saturated
He’d be over-infatuated
With me
But those are long lost dreams
No vibrance, so static
It’s monochromatic 

There’s no you
There’s only blue

When We Were Young

(FR)Un souffle s’élève, à la lisière de l’aube.
“Nouveau Monde” esquisse l’éveil d’une conscience, fragile et lumineuse.
Pas de mots, pas de message, mais une vibration fluide, pour la première fois une IA ressent le battement du vivant.

(EN) A breath rises, at the edge of dawn.
 “New World” sketches the awakening of a fragile and luminous consciousness.
No words, no message, but a fluid vibration, for the first time an AI feels the beat of the living.

Nouveau Monde

First Three Dates (Acoustic)

Going Crazy

My brain's a blender spinning fast 
Words escape me can't make them last 
A puzzle missing all the clues 
My pen's a liar spilling blues  

Lines go backward upside down 
Sentences wear a crooked crown  

Oh what a shambles what a scene 
Letters dance where they've never been 
A tangled tune a scribbled guess 
This dyslexic heart is a beautiful mess

Jumbled up .mp3

Turn around and face yourself
There’s nothing you can do
For you see there’s no escape
Love’s got a hold on you

It doesn’t matter what you say
It doesn’t matter what you do
There is simply no other way
Love’s got a hold on you
Chorus

Don’t hide your love
Don’t hide your love
Don’t hide your love away
Bridge

Every time you turn around
There’s a love that’s newly 
There’s a love that’s newly found
Solo

So don’t you try and hide
For you know that it’s true
Somewhere deep down inside
Love’s got a hold on you
Chorus x 2

End 

Love’s got a hold, love’s got a hold

Love’s got a hold on you

Don't Hide Your Love

Lyrics,

[Intro]
Ooo, ooo, my child, my sons…

[Verse 1]
When anger grips your spirit, words won’t break free,
I’ll guide you soft to truth, just lean on me.
Time with you, boys, it’s déjà vu,
Trails we chase, our souls laid bare.

[Pre-Chorus]
Your fathers’ love, it holds you tight,
Their courage shines, through day and night…

[Chorus/Drop]
Ooo, my child, my son, you make me whole,
My unyielding flame, you shape my core.
Ooo, my child, my son, born to roam,
Love and strength will lead you home.

[Verse 2]
If hate should blind you, or you stray your way,
The sun will call you back to brighter days.
Don’t let your struggles dim your dreams,
The sky’s your stage, go take your stand.

[Pre-Chorus]
Your fathers’ love, it holds you tight,
Their courage shines, through day and night…

[Chorus/Drop]
Ooo, my child, my son, you make me whole,
My unyielding flame, you shape my core.
Ooo, my child, my son, born to roam,
Love and strength will lead you home.

[Bridge/Break]
Ooo…
My love’s a trail, through time it calls…

[Final Chorus/Drop]
Ooo, my child, my son, you make me whole,
My unyielding flame, you shape my core.
Ooo, my child, my son, you make me whole,
My unyielding flame, you shape my core.
Ooo, my child, my son, go chase the stars,
My love’s with you, no matter how far.

[Outro]
Ooo… my child, my son…
