Red Dress

written by: James Bell

Meeting me, in ever changing dreams

Standing on the rain soaked platform, my mind screams

A best distant guess, you waiting in that red dress

Heart pumping, you unfailingly impress

Shadows of New York by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

One day I sat and listened to the choirs of Babel.
It took me back to when I painted shadows in New York
which cast skyscrapers high above your garden.
And I wondered if an island, in the seas of nowhere,
would have served as shelter if our ship should sink.

Did a siren with her song lead you so far away from home,
and has that made you forget me?
Have you removed the old tattoos?
Did you forget the sailing trips?
Was it because Manhattan’s winds destroyed your jib?...
