Porcelain Doll - Lyrics Only

Porcelain doll with a broken smile

Friend of mine

Sits on a shelf staring vacantly

Not empty

She fears oblivion

She fears chaos and rage

She fears someone broke her smile

Someone broke her smile

Prozac withered tears

Stolen breath delivers night

Drowned a cause (Caressed the light)

Singed the hem of her skirt

She screams of anguish

She screams hell pain

She screams someone broke her smile

Someone stole her smile

Vodka martini (extra dry please)

Coats the blues

Panicked pants strain to break free

Releasing the caged bird that sings

She cries her secrets

She cries nursery rhymes

She cries someone broke her smile

Someone broke her smile

Steals a moment from death (Cheats the world)

Grasping at words on a page

Words on a page emerge from her scars

Not porcelain skin

She’s not a porcelain doll

She dreams of chance

She dreams enlightenment

She dreams of prayer

Speak softly her name

The absurdity

Of the idea of a god

Protecting the soul

Of a madman

Of a madwoman

In love

With

An idea.

Harley - 15 Years!

For those of you who don't know, my cat Harley has been sick the last few weeks and he finally decided it was time to sleep peacefully. He was 15 years old and he was a true gentleman. He would stand back and let the ladies eat first. He would wait patiently for the stroke of a hand. Now, he is running in the grass with Bubba, Witchy, Houdini & Cody...chasing field mice and swatting at bugs and butterflies...lounging lazily in the sunshine...climbing trees and playing. That is the vision I provided him. Quinn, Thumper and Gizmo and myself and everyone else will miss him. We had some quality time together these last few weeks. Here's to Harley!

Love and peace!
