On Your Own :: From Donny To Lalah

...and Daddy to Me.

"On Your Own" touches me in the deepest part of my core. It's as though Donny is breathing on me through Lalah, and by extension--encouraging me through my own Daddy, who like Donny, left way too soon.

Come Dance With Me

Sentimental recollections

around big, fragile

floating bubbles

filled with our

dreams and ready to

Kinetic, sultry

recommendations

like minds

wandering

and cozying up on

memories too hot

to

dissipating into

'if onlys'

like surging

mirages

of what could
