CINNAMON AIR
She flies to a place where day has no trace
She hears stars, hears them far out in space
She illuminates dark behind the Sun
Where black holes are endless, makes air taste like cinnamon
She’s my angel, you won’t see her walking down the street
She’s my angel, she makes the sidewalk skip a beat
Don’t cross her or you’ll be done, like gravity come undone
She doesn’t give me empathy, not even a small bit of sympathy
She doesn’t care what I think, not a lick what I drink
She cries fire, she cries light
Builds planets burning bright, twirls Aurora’s colors out of sight
She’s my angel, you won’t see her walking down the street
She’s my angel, she makes the sidewalk skip a beat
Don’t cross her or you’ll be done, like gravity come undone
She wears a cross, prays at dawn
She plants flowers, then pulls her curtains tight drawn
She hangs jewels on her birthday suit
Laughs as she befriends Pan practicing his flute
BRIDGE
She’s my angel—a little spot for my simple mind
She’s my angel— cinnamon air that makes me blind
She’s my angel—she’s so fine, going to take those wings, fold them into mine
She’s my angel—(sigh) cinnamon air that makes me blind
She’s my angel, you won’t see her walking down the street
She’s my angel, she makes the sidewalk skip a beat
Don’t cross her or you’ll be done, like gravity come undone

"Behind the Scenes"
"Moondust"
SOMETHING THAT WAS KINDA COOL AND FUN. For the time my profile and my 'pop poetry' piece Bottled was the 'pick of the week' on this page, it was no. 25 on myspace a'capella (above Coolio) and no. 1 for two weeks in Washington D.C.. I have to admit, that was kinda cool and fun.
POETRY COMMENTS. So many of my fantasticly talented indie musician friends have left me comments on my 'original' myspace pages' poetry blogs (my no. 1 friend here) found at myspace.com/janicekephart. Here are a few of them:
