April Song of the Month: Creation

A stream-of-consciousness piece that has something to do with the role of imagination in making sense of a messy relationship.

Lyrics

How can I crown
Whether you're up or down?
You have a beaming smile and a repulsive frown.

What do you do
With a soul split in two?
The half you love, the half you wish you never knew

But in the morning
The light's a golden shade
Creation forming
But how quickly feelings fade

A fractured face
Just a vestigial trace
With all the pieces not quite fitting into place

A dirty mouth
Floats near an honest eye
Like separate planets circling inside my mind

But in the evening
The sky changes its hue
Celestial gleaming
The universe bathed in blue

Maybe as things once were
They can be once again?

A carnal plot
Ever the sticky thought
That pulls me always toward the is and from the ought

What do you do
With a soul split in two?
The half you love, the half you wish you never knew
Creation out of blue
