Kona Coffee

Kona coffee, mornings when
I'm the pride of my island
I may never hear my men
Tell me what I mean to them
If they wish to trap and pin
Mason jar the light I lend
I will not be their victim
I'll leave and we'll both ascend
I've been asked to go within
Be like water and the yin
Now I'm proud, and in the end
So is my creator then

The Outer

On the outer, looking in
Left to die by my lions
Furthest ring of Saturn spins
Forcing me in cold again
Throwing me to wolves that grin
Tearing me from limb to limb
Lord how they have worn me thin
Help me get away from them
I will never let them win
Bring me to new friends and kin
Ones who love and compliment

Girl Circus

Acrobatic reaper cheater
Dagger eater, fire breather
Rafter swinger in the theatre
Tightrope walker of the ether
Ringmaster of men beneath her
Aerial until they need her
Lion tamer in the bleachers
Healer in his tent and teacher
Circe is quite the creature feature
Carnival both sun and secret

Reprise

Attempt again, so many tries
Contemptuous til I despise 
To love the one you're with at night
Despite to feel it isn't right
Some days so bad I'd wish he'd die
Be contemplating suicide
Like it would lift me from our ties
To free me from my house of flies 
My bed of lies and back of knives
In name of being kind and nice
In sympathy, for compromise 
It wasn't what I want in life
I nearly met my own demise
But encore encore and reprise 
I chose to be myself and rise

Lennon Mentions

Sin we fell in broke our trust 
Independence frightens us
If in wind we're only dust
Why then not succumb to lust
Lennon mentions laugh at love
Tiny death in sex and drugs
Let's not look for light in stuff
We are what we're conscious of

Sleep in Trees

Princess with this pea displeased
Goldilocks but not these three
Where's a bed that's best for me
How high can I hope to be
How far can this fairy see
How close can I be to free
Can I use the stars as sheets
Yes, for rest to reach my needs 
I shall sleep in redwood trees

Medium Fry

A medium fry
Wave aloha/hi
To souls who've said bye
Storm's center, the eye
I stand still inside
A middle child, try
To mediate my
And everyone's lives
Besiege or belie
I see from all sides
Including who's died
