La VIe En Rose
All I need is you to be the perfect man for me
Love me enough
To not want to live without my loving
You be the present & future
The one who makes my heartbeat sing
My smile glow
Secure in knowing you’re for real
No matter which way life goes
Behind the Scenes
Gnawing soft insides out
Ulcers of regret
Mourning
Tidal waves of acid to the soul
Desperate despair
Devouring
Famine in the belly
Once gorged with love
Behind the Scenes
I was born
With the stars
In my eyes
A million dollar baby
Even if
No one realized it
I knew it
The stars knew it
My future knows it
Portraits with Pzazz!
And the beat goes on
Pulsating through my soul
Pushing me
Driving me
Forward into
Places I never imagined
I would be able to go
NYC Streets
Out for a Walk
Come
I will walk
Beside you
All the way
Through
Don’t give up
Don’t give in
Discomfort is deceit
We will take
One step
Of progress
At a time
Back to the Country
Take Me With You
Don’t go
I’m too cute to leave
Take me with you
Pleaseee
Wanna be
Always next to you
Portraits with Pzazz!
I’ve been struggling
Like a mule
All my life
It was what it was
One gray day
Daddy up & died
Leaving
A foreign widow
In a foreign land
No English
Nine hungry children
Did what I had to do
Thirteen
Walked out of school
Buckled on
My grown-up shoes
Washing, cooking, scrubbing
Made my way to Philadelphia
Just to mail home
A few green dollars
Paid daddy’s debts
Put bread on the table
Family stayed together
I
Struggled like a mule
