these are the days
whether spoken of or not
which rule their lives
they see clouds
darkening and dreary
setting the pace
which makes them yearn
for love made of sterner stuff
ah . . .
it seems they are caught
each after their own desires
in a never-ending kaleidoscope
of wants and yearning
dreams and fantasies
taking comfort where comfort is offered
comme ci, comme ça
accepting soothing words as a balm
to wounded hearts and pride
giving back the same
trying to sculpt their disorder
tho bleak winds are at their backs
pushing a hungering love
to be nudged off that cliff
and set adrift
