*California Dreaming*

California Dreaming

by Eric Anthony Crew

Footprints disappearing in the sand,

Nothing ventured is nothing gained.

What is your mark upon this land?

Is your interest only feigned?

How is your outlook from where you stand?

Sunspots on my iris, stained.

Feel the ocean against your hand,

The emotions flux yet still remained.

Burning Love

Burning Love

I catch myself just before I bring about the black,

Twisted, so my King and Queen get beaten by the Jack.

My strength swells beyond myself to keep and hold me back,

From undergoing once again that which I should lack.
