BEAUTIFUL SKY
I look up at the
sky
And I try to find
The meaning of life
And I see
God's beauty
Which is great
I have to say
I saw it today
As I went on my way
It was so
Beautiful
It's a good thing to see
Early in the morning
It gets me by
Every time
The image stays
With me all day
I see it in my mind
All of the time
I'm glad to say
It brightens my day
It makes me want to stay
And that's all I have to say.

ETERNAL
LOVE
Love goes beyond life
For love is eternal
It goes beyond husband and wife
For it's eternal
There's someone
For everyone
You may meet them in life
Or in the afterlife
So don't give up
Even though times are tough
Just believe
And hold on to this dream
And then one day
You'll find someone, O.K.?

IMAGINATION
When the real world
Is a bore
I enter my own world
Where there's lots of fun in store
I can be
Anyone I want
Not just me
And I can do whatever I want
But eventually
I have to come back
To reality
And back
To my normal life.

WATERFALL
Crystal water falling
down
From a river high above
With its water hitting the ground
From the cliff above
The sun is setting
in the distance
The clouds a fiery red
The sky showing resistance
From turning dark as lead
The grass is green
from top to bottom
On the cliff above
Even in the Autumn
This place has God's love
The grass is even
greener on the ground below
And it is always green
Here life will always grow
For mother nature is not mean
Flowers and roses
grow
As far as the eye can see
Both high and low
And all around me
I am a tree
On the cliff a high
That is me
Reaching to the sky
My branches are
strong and growing
My leaves are green and healthy
Because the river is flowing
The land is now wealthy
But there is a hole
in me
Yes, a hole that is so deep
Black is all you can see
Black as when you are asleep
I don't know why
this hole is here
Or why I feel so empty
One thing is clear
I do feel a little lonely
Far as you can see
If you take the time
I'm the only tree
This should be a crime
On the river flows
Far away from here
The river goes
All the way over there.

UNICORN
Innocence is all
he is
His life a pure bliss
A creature of beauty
From danger he flees
He's a horse with
a horn
Known better as a unicorn
He lives in many minds
But he's hard to find
He has the power
of light
So he must stay out of sight
So, it could be you he's behind
But it's he you'll never find.
(Back To Top)
BLACK
LIGHT
Turn on the light
See things with a different sight
The light's not bright
It's just black light
Open up your eyes
Look up at the sky
Spread your wings and fly
All you have to do is try
Stand up in your
chairs
See how life is unfair
Look at your hair
And what you ware
All you need to
do
Is change your point of view
To yourself be true
And try something new
Look and see
Every thing differently
Start with a tree
Then look at me
Look at the fight
Do what's right
Hold on tight
Look at the different light
Look into the black
light
See every thing with inner sight
Stand with all your might
And see what's right.
(Back To Top)
BLIND
MAN
Close your eyes
And just see with your hands
Let your other senses replace your eyes
This is a blind man's land
Get out of you shell
Look through your touch
And your sense of smell
I'm not asking too much
Use your hearing
too
All you can do is try
It's what you must do
To yourself don't lie
Try looking at the
world through a blind man's eyes
See with a blind man's sight
Please at least try
To live in the dark, not the light
This is his hell
This is a blind man's world
This is his shell
A very dark world.

A
HOLE IN TIME
A hole in time
There's only rhyme
Light of lime
No crime
To be
To see
Must be free
Not a tree
Can't be stuck
Need a buck
Out of luck
Time to duck
Lost now
Some how
Don't have a cow
Right now
Lost sight
Lost the fight
Left in fright
Nothing but night
Is light
That's bright
Like white
Pure delight
You command
You demand
Don't offer your hand
Against you I stand
Listen to my band
I stand
To fight for my land
That's nothing but sand
Use your gun
Use your son
This isn't fun
But you are now done
The light
Brighter than white
Is worth the fight
For it's pure delight
(Back To Top)
THE
JOY OF DREAMS
Well it's time to
crash
It's time to dream of lots of cash
To dream of someone to love
Who's prettier than a dove
In my dreams, I
can be
Anyone I want to be
I can do what I want to
Even get rid of the blues
But eventually I'll
wake up
And drink some tea in a cup
Then once again I face reality
Which I'll have to be me.
(Back To Top)
PEACE
I seek peace
And tranquillity
I wish that the violence would cease
And that we can just be
In a world without
fighting
That would be nice
And the world would stop being
As cold as ice
So, until that day
comes
Until the violence is ceased
The total sum
Is a world without peace.
(Back To Top)
DON'T
FORGET ME
A love that's true
Won't forget me
It won't be easy to do
Love could still be hard to see
Walk away
Remember me
Just for today
Just for me
Time goes on
The pain fades
Time's just wrong
Time will aid
Hate me today
Pain is all you see
So I'll walk away
You're soul is free
The road is long
You'll find someone new
I was wrong
I'm not right for you
Your heart will
heal
You'll see the bright light
As you begin to feel
And regain your sight
Now I know
I should just walk away
To let your love grow
Just take it day by day
But don't forget
me
I'm still your friend
Now go on and be happy
Best wishes I send.
(Back To Top)
LOVE'S
GUN
You aim it at me
I don't want your love
I want to just be
As free as a dove
Don't tie me down
Just keep your chains
I don't want your frown
I don't want your pain
Shoot someone else
For I'm free
Can't stick me on a shelf
For I'm must be me
I'm not your slave
I refuse to do your work
My heart is something I want to save
From you, you clerk
So give it up
Don't even try
I had enough
Time to fly
For I'm free
And That's what I must be.

WRITER'S
POWER
We create gods and
goddesses
Heroes and villains
The good and evil
And those in between
We create the stories
We create the adventures
The romances
The ballroom dances
The long kisses good night
Two people holding each other tigh
The love
The fights
The lies
he players of game
Our power is the mind
The more we know
The more we understand
The better writers we become.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF ROMANCE
I'm not Romeo
You're not my Juliet
I knew when to let go
It's nothing I regret
You and me
We had our fun
But it wasn't meant to be
We couldn't ride of into the sun
There's a lot of
pain
In the memories I see
Only rain
I guess it wasn't meant to be
You, I still miss
My best memories
Is your lovely kiss
Lost in some stormy seas
I want you to be
my wife
For you I cry
You couldn't be my life
For you I die
This Romeo is still
alive
I didn't kill myself for you
He's learning what it's like to be alive
I'm sorry he couldn't just die
One day, you'll
see
In time, I'm willing to bet
The ending will be happy
I'll have a true Juliet
This time no one
will die
Every one will live
No one will lie
They will know how to give
The road is still
long
My Juliet is still out there
The time is still wrong
But I still find her out there.

JUST
A BAND
Let's keep a steady
beat
Let's give them something to dance to
Let's move their feet
It shouldn't be hard to do
It's Friday night
It's time to compete
They turn on the lights
Let's make it sweet
Don't over do it
now
We have to try and win
Just get through some how
Tomorrow night, do it again
Let's play our hearts
out
The crowd really loves us
Can't you her them shout
Let's get on the bus
It's another city
It's time to play
Time to be free
Just for a day
This is what we
love to do
It's in our blood
If it's true
We won't get tossed into the mud
Yesterday we were
lame
Things changed
Now we have fame
Life's strange
Just a group of
friends
Time to go on
The music has come to an end
Now we must move on.

A
HUMAN VAMPIRE
I don't see the
light of day
I work all night
And sleep all day
So I don't see the sun light
I can't stand the
bright light of the sun
Now I don't drink blood of any kind
I can still be killed by a gun
But I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my soul
I forgot what's right
Within me is a hole
And I can't see the light
My health is fading
My skin is pale
My life I'm trading
For this living hell
Now it's time to
get some sleep
For the sun is up in the sky
Into bed I leap
Until tonight.
(Back To Top)
SON
OF MINE
I didn't know you
were mine
No matter what they say
I put everything on the line
To get to today
I know that you
hate me
I can't take it back
Why can't you see
It all went black
I couldn't stay
I couldn't fight
I didn't find my way
Through this dark night
I love you
I love you with all my heart
What can I do
I can't go back to the start
I left you alone
I'm sorry
I didn't know
I couldn't see
I am blind
I don't understand
No answers I could find
I can't even stand
I had to walk away
I couldn't see the light
I had to move to another day
To find out what's right
It was a hard choice
You don't understand
I had no voice
I couldn't make a stand
I wanted to hold
you
I just walk away
I still missed you
I couldn't stay
I'm sorry for the
pain
I had to let you go
Can you feel the rain
Can you feel the wind blow
You are a star
I wish you well
From afar
Don't turn into a living shell
It wasn't my call
I'm sorry to say
I missed it all
I couldn't stay
Life is a long road
Take it a day at a time
It's a heavy load
But, just make it rhyme.
(Back To Top)
A
FREE HEART
I fly into the distance
I stand strong
Can't keep my will
I'm free
They fight for freedom
The give their lives to be free
Together they stand
Together they fight
Freedom starts in the heart
If your heart isn't free
You become a shell
Completely worthless
Fly free
Fly high into the sky
You are the only one
Who can break
your chains
Take a stand
Don't give up the fight
Open your heart
If you want to see
Let it all go
Don't give into control
Fight to be free
Release yourself
Just jump
It's up to you if you fall or fly
Just leap into the sky
Only you can do it
It's a choice for you
Make up your mind
Be a slave
Or be free.

HEADING OUT THERE
Going on a trip
On a sailing ship
Going over seas
Cruising on the breeze
Going to far away
lands
Reach the beaches' sand
Of many places
With many faces
Seeking knowledge
of others
Meeting my long lost brothers
Time to be on our way
Straight on to a new day.
(Back To Top)
LIFE
BEGINS
The lava is turning
into rock
Grass and trees are growing
The rivers flow straight to the sea
Spreading life every where
Mountains begin to form
Trees grow into forests
Cloud form in the sky
Rain falls from the clouds
Birds fly for the first time
The fish are now swimming in the rivers
Bees sting a bear
While the bear was fishing
Life began when the world was still new
The Earth lives and grows
It was still healthy
Before the first man
A new undiscovered world
A world that was young
One of God's gifts
Ruined by man.
