The Art of War
The moving images of the governments’ aspiration being depicted from coast to coast. Justified are the premises, no matter what side the station picks. We never stop to think why their isn’t a third opinion on nightly sets that say that there is another way. Flames are just a prop in the pictures, illuminating results…

Still Life on Table
An empty bottle That’s a quarter full, With a half eaten pie And scissors that can pull, Sit on the table with me Outside while I’m alone, Where I sit and ponder, To catch the night and groan.

So Tired
I’m so tired, so tired, so tired, He took the light out of my life, She took the wind out of my sails, He sold my dreams by the dozen, She broke my heart in two, He mocked me in silent praise, She threw my years away. And They, what did They do? They did…

If I could see you
If I could see you, to have one look into your face. If I could see you, and hear you speak my name. If I could see you, and ’round my chest feel your warm embrace. If I could see you, and see your sweet smile again. If I could see you, and watch your…

Miles Away
I think of you miles away and I am chilled. For I want you here to ignite me. I want you on me over me in me filling me with your heat. Hands playing my body making me sing. Time do not tease me any longer. Bring you my lover to me. Copyright Catherine Anne…
