SNOW WHITE DEER TEARS
For years I looked for a diamond-train
All I got was suitcases full of heartache
My stiff necked body always an excuse
Still, I climbed the critics’ mountain with a butterfly smile
I knocked on God's door
I laid my swimming pool answers before His feet
I pleaded; Give me my angel love
I wore my young arrogant cloak
For seventeen years I had to go into desert-loneliness
I walked on burning sand cloths
Burned my fingers to blisters in the heat of the sun
Fought purple-green hyenas with my sword words
I was the lover du jour on a few Romeo-menus
I caught a denim-train at last
Air castle promises were made
Sarcastic stars were smiling upon me
I touched the sky in my air-balloon
Signed my new name on sick yellow paper
I bathed in bubble bath-happiness
I swam in the freedom-forest
Suddenly there was no more VIP-carpet
I tumbled into the darkest dinosaur dragon mouth
Alone and empty my soul cried
Snow white deer-tears spiralled from my mountain-curve cheeks
Will I ever find my island in the stream of love
