The Butterfly in the Cemetery

The Butterfly in the Cemetery

I don’t remember
If the butterfly at your memorial service
Was teal
Or monarch
It flew towards the horizon
While the bagpipes played Amazing Grace
Mom believed it was a sign from you

Yesterday's Dreams

 
Yesterday's Dreams
 
It’s not likely that anyone will ring soon

Asking me to star on stage or screen

That ship long ago sailed away

On the dark water of yesterday’s

Dreams that never came true

Might As Well Be On the Moon


Once long ago and in a world far away
A delusional young woman with a head full of impossible dreams 
Accompanied her father on a plane trip to New York
To visit aging but still vital relatives
She believed that one day
She would often take to the sky
Flying high forever on those dreams

My relatives and my father are now all as dead as those foolish dreams
And hope for a better tomorrow
Might as well be on the moon
There are no second chances for mad fools
Who squandered their youth
That world is gone
And for me it is far too late
To make impossible dreams come true

Me
The Real Cie
Keeping it Real
Even when the truth hurts

Deadlines



When it comes to deadlines
I’m always hurrying to beat time
Before the final bell’s chime
And I find myself out of line

When it comes to deadlines

Procrastination is my crime
