My wife has the most disarming smile and placid demeanor...until she doesn`t, at which time its duck and cover.

Conducting Lightning

she once seemed serene as earth
dark sky never raised a frown
when stars are falling
her bravados walking
not looking up

should have known the quiet ones
keep their powder dry
her jagged gaze
cuts through the haze
of trash talk


I heard waves crash round the king
tried to turn the tide
felt the white heat of truth
shine brown eyes
I`ve seen a grown man face the music
shaking in his boots
I saw you
conducting lightning

her elusive smile sparks my spine
I see pie in the sky
she says I`m passing through
the little house you drew
`til its clear who`s boss

you might think still waters
that`s my Mona Lisa
that little mood apart
isn`t all her art
she`s nobody to cross

I heard waves crash round the king
tried to turn the tide
felt the white heat of truth
shine brown eyes
I`ve seen a grown man face the music
shaking in his boots
I saw you
conducting lightning
I`ve seen this grown man face the music
shaking in his boots
I saw you
conducting lightning
