Late Bloomer
(c) 2019 by S. Ross
Maybe I move too slow
-- I'm a late bloomer ... y'know?
Hey, I was planted in the fall -
I'm lucky that I bloomed at all
The harvest came late;
Now the food's falling off the plate
If I could do it all again
I'd meet you and I'd say let's be friends
Bloom little flower
Bloom in the sun
Bloom in the dark
Just bloom
Bloom
A special night
The water's calm, the moon's so bright
You got that smoky pine perfume,
Stars on the ceiling ...
Better late than not at all
The petal's soft before it falls
You can scream or you can sigh,
But you gotta live before you die.
Bloom little flower
Bloom

It's 5 a.m.
You're on my mind
I'm in my car
But I am stalling
My biggest worry,
My biggest fear
Is I'm wasting all your time
The sun is rising
And when it sets
Will I still be wondering?
I wanna be
A better me
There for you
All shiny and new, but ...
I find it easy,
It's just so easy,
To lock it all back down
I know that makes it,
That really makes it, hard
To be a friend of mine, so ...
I'm gonna drive back
I'm gonna try that
I'm gonna get it right
I've got my keys out
And if I leave now
I could be there by tonight
The sun is rising
And when it sets
Will I still be wondering?
The sun is rising
The sun is rising
The sun is rising ...

Insidious, incoming
You didn't get a warning
Walking in a forest
Of colours
Only you would see
They should be at home
And we all should've known
The devil uses white
To hide his horns
Oblivious destruction,
Can't pay what we owe
Occupy a forest,
Harvest colours
Only you should see

By Stars and Other Signs
(c) 2021 by S. Ross
The mind is a window;
The heart is a door -
Throw it all open,
Don't wait
Anymore
The light's right for travel
By stars and other signs -
All you need is the outline
Of a singular one
You gave me
Something to search for
A deep and endless inlet,
A map of the core
Should I say
How much I care?
How I see your face
When you're not there?
The mind is a window;
The heart is a door -
Throw it all open,
Don't wait
Anymore

I see a mountain there, and man I wanna climb it / But then again sometimes I'm starting from underground / You know that feeling when you want it but you don't know what? / 'S inside my head wants to come out ...
Oh, I wanna I got ta I don't know why I can't get what I want when I want it
It has a shape that seems kinda familiar / You see it every day when you look in the mirror / You know that feeling when you want something you just can't have but nobody told your heart?
Ah, I wanna I got ta I don't know why I can't get what I want when I want it

I want to remember you
Like the first time, when
Everything was new
And perfect
Maybe not a memory;
More like a long-lost tale
And I will keep it as an image
In my head
I woke up and walked away
From the dusty stage,
Tired of hearing I should bend
But never break
And you really lost your head
Once you got your way;
Now it's your turn to sleep -
Maybe we'll meet halfway,
Someday
You really threw me off, though,
When it all went down
Caught me asleep and dreaming
Of someone I thought I knew
You build a pedestal
And then you knock it down
Again
And again
Never going back
Again;
Maybe we'll meet
Halfway
