Poet Introduction
I love Rhyme...
Blackbird Caged
There's blood dripping
From the cut on your wing
Where the cold wire tore it
As you pulled and screamed
Stop moving, stay still
Silk feathers everywhere
Ink drops of red blood
Scattered on an iron snare
The struggle has stopped
Free from the searing pain
The torment and anguish
Now just a bloodstain
From the cut on your wing
Where the cold wire tore it
As you pulled and screamed
Stop moving, stay still
Silk feathers everywhere
Ink drops of red blood
Scattered on an iron snare
The struggle has stopped
Free from the searing pain
The torment and anguish
Now just a bloodstain

Peter I can't
Peter today we spoke
It tears me inside
I want you happy
But I can't lie
I can't let you go
I can't give you away
I know I'm being selfish
But just let me be that way
You said you saw us together
Growing old holding hands
I'm trying to believe it
But I can't make future plans
I need to let you go
To be strong and set you free
In my head it all makes sense
That one of us gets to be happy
It tears me inside
I want you happy
But I can't lie
I can't let you go
I can't give you away
I know I'm being selfish
But just let me be that way
You said you saw us together
Growing old holding hands
I'm trying to believe it
But I can't make future plans
I need to let you go
To be strong and set you free
In my head it all makes sense
That one of us gets to be happy

I sat waiting for You
I sat waiting for you
If I was a cow
I'd be slaughtered by now
My insides laying on a cold floor
And where would you be?
I sat waiting for you
Like a child left at school
Could you be more cruel
And Me making excuses
Not wanting to know what's true
I sat waiting for you
Inflicting my own pain
It was easier burning myself again
When will I ever learn
To stop giving so much of myself
And getting so little in return
I keep forgetting you're a man not a god
If I was a cow
I'd be slaughtered by now
My insides laying on a cold floor
And where would you be?
I sat waiting for you
Like a child left at school
Could you be more cruel
And Me making excuses
Not wanting to know what's true
I sat waiting for you
Inflicting my own pain
It was easier burning myself again
When will I ever learn
To stop giving so much of myself
And getting so little in return
I keep forgetting you're a man not a god

For Peter
My Lover you make me
Hang on your every word
Melt as you whisper
Every word is good to hear
I imagine your warm lips
Kissing down my collar bone
I close my eyes a lot
And wish we were alone
I crave your hands
All over my skin
Dreaming of your touch
Fingers going over and in
I want your body
To melt into my naked one
The need is so strong
Come over here and get it done
Hang on your every word
Melt as you whisper
Every word is good to hear
I imagine your warm lips
Kissing down my collar bone
I close my eyes a lot
And wish we were alone
I crave your hands
All over my skin
Dreaming of your touch
Fingers going over and in
I want your body
To melt into my naked one
The need is so strong
Come over here and get it done
