The daffodil’s sudden yellow made me gasp in the morning sun
where yesterday there was none


i’d give a penny for his thoughts
a lifetime to his dreams
if they were about me


but sometimes dreaming in the wine
isn’t worth my stained lips


i would give a lifetime to spend a day in the sun
dreaming in black and white shooting stars
find love like lightning
where yesterday I had none

got a shiny penny for that?
