Vegas ... across town

left hand 

on left cheek...

right hand 

on the steering wheel...

smooth jazz

105.7

just passed the Stratosphere

rainbow lights,

on empty streets...

mellowing the vibes ,

of my atmosphere...

volume knob twisted

smooth jazz

105.7

traffic lights in rhyme

one turns red,

the other already lime...

not sure when to get there

this time I have plenty of time

amid a soft subtle tune,

played by Earl Hines...

smooth jazz

105.7

a glance at the rear-view mirror

stars and meteors,

or maybe the Strip and downtown 

garage door opening... 

it's time to shutdown 

volume knob pressed

smooth jazz

105.7

You're sad ...
Don't be ...
It's only a matter of time 
the buzz will settle down
and the people will go back to their homes
and silence will start to re-conquer the living room
and the half empty wine glasses will be left alone
---
You're sad ...
Don't be ...
what happened ...
cannot go back
what happened ...
something you'll always think about
---
You're sad...
Don't be ...
you, like every one
had to risk his chance. 

I'm not going to
tell you what goes in my mind ...
simply because,
it will overly astound you.
I will not share
the dreams of my memorable yesterdays ...
just because,
they will only stabilize
fears that long lived ...
inside you.

tish ...

tish ... tish ...

raindrops falling ...

wetting the stairs of my success

tish ... tish ...

no wall to lean on to ...

wish I had her now,

to hold on to ...

tish ... tish ...

I must remain cautious ...

and spare any unfortunate slips,

that could get me unconscious !

tish ... tish ...

hidden thoughts emerging ...

with every careful step I take

I need to start searching ...

before it becomes too late

and find myself drowning,

in the other side of fate !

Beautiful~

you look beautiful...

as if there's no ... tomorrow

as if the sun will remain ... at rise

you look beautiful...

as if the butterflies

will not cease to flare

drifting under

the reflection of your cheeks

you look beautiful...

in a way no painter ... can draw

and no camera ... could shoot

you look beautiful

and every thing around

because of that

I too

am

starting to look

but not quite

as

beautiful!
