You Paint My Blues Pink


You paint my blues pink.

And shelter me from my pain.

Art from your kind heart.

Last night you came to me.


Last night you came to me

You gave me three songs

One for our pain

Two for our love

And three for our tomorrow

Confined in my mind.

How can the truth live,

if it has to be believed?

One Last Hug. Sunset.


We walked on the sand.

Felt the brush of your soft hand.

One last hug. Sunset.

Dozens More Bloom – Love.


Yearning dead flowers.

I picked the petals and cried.

Dozens more bloom – Love.
