Eyes

Eyes watching
our passionate embrace
spurring us on higher in ecstacy’s delight
Eyes watching
jealously as our love takes flight
Eyes watching
somberly as we both make a vow
Eyes watching
happily because they know the
Strength of our love now

Come With me and Take my Hand

Come with me and take my hand
smiling that byish smile
Our lives intertwined and sealed with a band

Walking together in this strange land
of love and romance
Come with me and take my hand

Together we will take a stand
against those who seek to harm
Our lives intertwined and sealed with a band

Our love ignoring the strand
the fates have set out for us
Come with me and take my hand

Together we will watch the sand
of the hour glass and laugh
Our lives intertwined and sealed with a band

Marriage is not meant to be a brand
but a sharing of lives
Come with me and take my hand
Our lives intertwined and sealed with a band

Tiny

Tiny hands reach out toward mine
Tiny breaths let me know he's just fine
Tiny smiles light up my life
Tiny wails cut like a knife
Tiny giggles make me grin
Tiny tears crumble even the toughest men
Tiny feet that kick and play
Tiny eye that know just what to say
How could such a tiny thing
Bring all the joy that he brings

With You My Blind Soul Can See

With you my blind soul can see
all the colors and the lights
And you and I turn into we

Together forever we will be
hoping, loving, living
With you my blind soul can see

I melt away when you look at me
I see the love in your eyes
And you and I turn into we

Love and affection your only fee
for the happiness you bring to my life
With you my blind soul can see

In this crazy world, I have your knee
to sit on when I grow weary
And you and I turn into we

You are my rock, my lee
my shelter from the storm
With you my blind soul can see
And you and I turn into we

You are my Dream Come True

You are my dream come true
My hopes, my fantasies
And I believe in you

I wake, each morning new
Smiling at the day awaiting because
You are my dream come true

I say I love you, you tell me you love me too
that you will always be there for me
And I believe in you

All the sweet things you say and do
Make me so happy
You are my dream come true

You say you want to be together our whole lives through
that you love me with all of your heart
And I believe in you

I do
always and forever
You are my dream come true
And I believe in you

And Now Two Are One

The days of fighting loneliness are done
we came together
And now two are one

I no longer have to run
From the demons of my past
The days of fighting loneliness are done

Our battles together are one
We will cherish one another forever
And now two are one

We gave birth to a beautiful son
who fills our lives with every joy
The days of fighting loneliness are done

Our passion still has the ability to stun
whenever it blazes white hot
and now two are one

Every time I see you my love hits me like a ton
And I can't imagine life without you
The days of fighting loneliness are done
And now two are one

back to top

Shhh...

Untouchable but sweet
your smile made my knees weak
those dimples, that wink
like there was a secret
shared between just us
You drew closer
Almost within reach
Daring to come to me
knowing it was dangerous
and trusting me yet
Experiences we've shared plenty
And now that wink
indicates something different
No longer just a playful gesture
it is now a symbol of a compact
a covenant between us two
never to tell of one night
and never to let it happen again

back to top

A Dance with You

I look into your eyes dark as coals
And see my reflection as you look
at me with tenderness
The song is romantic so you pull
Me closer and I feel secure in
the strong hold of your arms
We sway to the rhythm of the music
everything else disappears
we are dancing in heaven
the stars shine below us
The song fades and we
fade back to reality
Each dance we ascend higher
As is every dance, I dance with you

Best Friends

A best friend is someone who is there
when you need them
Who will give you advice even
when you don't heed them
A best friend cares even
when no one else dares
A best friend doesn't care
about your faults even
when Your step stumbles or halts
A best friend is a lot of things
but a traitor she'll never be
So together we'll walk through
the trails of life
Just my best friend and me

The Kid

Eyes brighten in wondrous delight
taking in every new sight
Mouth widens into a signature grin
as he waits for the mischief to begin
Hands stretch for things out of reach
stern voices try to teach
Head nods an "I understand"
and then he does it again
What a wonder, what a chore
But then again, what are kids for?

If I Could Change the World

If I could change the world
friends would live
If I could change the world
people would give
If I could change the world
there would be no crime
If I could change the world
it would be mine
If I could change the world
drugs wouldn't be
If I could change the world
we'd be free
Of this influence
that we call drugs
Of this influence
that kills all love
Of this influence
that breeds the hate
Of this influence
that seals our fate
Of this influence
that makes mothers cry
Of this influence
where innocents die
Please take my words into consideration
and watch the fate of the nation
drugs are killing us one by one
This war is now begun
To win, one thing you must do
Be drug free, it's up to you

What More?

What more could I want
happiness, true love
What more could I want
world peace, a single rose
What more could I want
a smile from a stranger
What more could I want
a tear drop unshed
What more could I want
Happy young children
What more could I want
a peaceful quiet place
What more could I want
freedom to be me
What more could I want
a hug from one long past
What more could I want
a lot of things
Will I get them?
One can hope

Goldblade was here

Gone but not forgotten
On to a better place
Loved by one and all
Died withough a face
Blood runs cold
Lakes of fire reign
At this henious crime
Does he feel the shame
Each take a piece of her
With them in their souls
As they say goodbye
Some will never know
Her kindness cowering
Every fear
Remember when you look on these words
Etched in marble "Goldblade was here"

Davis

D is silver like a gleaming sword, like a class ring, or a meiser's horde

A is gold like a prinsess's hair, like a beggar's gold tooth, or a good friends care

V is metallic like a train on a track, like a cold heart, or words you can't take back

I is cornflower the color of a slight nod, of a baby boy's room or the eyes of a god

S is clear like tears or rain, like the celestial stars or the feeling of pain

back to top

I Am

I am strong I am brave
I am weak I am afraid

I am a woman I am a child
When I roar I am mild

I am smart and I shine
I am dull and hard to find

I stand out I blend in
I am a saint yet live in sin

All these roles that I play
Are all part of the masquerade

I Had a Blind Date With Fear

I had a blind date with fear
He picked me up but didn't
Come to the door
He honked twice, his face shadowed by the visor
Although ti was night
He didn't speak as I got into the car
I reached back to buckle my seat belt
But found nothing there
He sped into town and insisted
On seeing a horror movie
I sat through it watching between my fingers
While he laughed his soundless laugh
We are at a place with no name
Where the people had no faces
He sped home and the whole time
My heart was in my throat
When we got to my house
He got out, opened my door
And said he'd see me again
Tomorrow night
The scariest thing?
I agreed

Christmas

Christmas is that time of year
when families gather with warmth and cheer
Tinsel here and presents there
wrapped with such loving care
Parents watch the children play
wishing they would stay that way
Grandparents remember Christmas past
and hope the memories will last
Families sit down to pray and eat
Grandma's stuffing can't be beat
Talking and laughing everywhere
plenty of food and love to share
Christmas carols we will sing
and together our voices will ring
Bed time for kids, they all run
but Christmas has just begun
Drifting off into deep sleep
these memories of Christmas they will keep
In the morning when they wake
Keeping quiet for grown-ups sake
They open gifts with great joy
giving little thought to being coy
Adults watch with great amusement
as children compare what Santa sent
Now it's over say your good byes
Our Christmas memories will never die

Happiness is...

Happiness is children laughing,
people smiling, and couples young and old
so in love they are blind
to anything but each other
Happiness is best friends sharing a secret
behind their hands and
giggling over jokes made
Happiness is finding that special someone
who makes life complete
chases away the miseries
and loves you like nothing you could imagine
Happiness is haveing fears
but learning to conquer them
Happiness cannot be bought
It must be won
but it's worth the fight

I Walk

I walk in a land where my eyes don't see
I walk in a land of shadows
I walk in a land where monsters lurk
I walk in a land of horror
I walk in a land where my legs don't move
fast enough to outrun those behind me
I walk in a land of nightmares
I walk in a land where I once ruled
I walk in a land of sorrows
I walk in a land that was once my mind
I walk in the land of insanity

Pain

A baby cries, but no one hears
A little girl wails, but no one wipes her tears
A woman screams, but no one calms her fears
Alone, totally alone
That's what pain is

back to top

Death

A corpse lays in the culvert
And a timeless shadow
Comes to take his soul
A chill goes through all those
who stand near as the two
sink in the abysmal hole

back to top

Me

The tears that streak my face
Are not from Jout or pain
Not from happiness or woe
They are from the total chaos of my life

A Daughter's Plea

Daddy you've always taken
such good care of me
Teaching me to be strong
and making me a better person
You taught me to be a good judge
of character and how not
to take life's cruel jokes to heart
Youve taught me everything
I need to know to triumph
over anything that crosses my path
and now that it's time to let me go
You hesitate, you say I'm not ready
and you call me a child
I want to go, to explore, to discover
I want to be my own person
And make you proud
I wnat so much out of life
A desire you instilled in me
Are you afraid you haven't taught me enough
Are you scared you're losing your baby girl
Are you just afraid I'll get hurt
Those are fears I can't dispel
But, Daddy, I'll always be
Your little girl

Untitled 1

Many hopes fulfilled
Many dreams made real
Many smiles appear
Many ways made clear
Many experiences from which I soar
Many triumphs and much much more
I have found love and life
Hope and care
An end to sorrow and despair
I have found peace and happiness too
And all of this I found in you

Untitled 2

Vows are made, rice is thrown
A marriage begins
Life moves and changes
A child is born
Our hearts expand
Life changes even more
Our lives will never be the same
But I see my enormous gain
My husband, my son
Both look at me with matching eyes
Both full of love
And I know that whatever else
May have been
Could never be more than this

back to top

Untitled 3

Chaotic whispers fall on my ears
Dark thoughts assail my mind
Mysterious shadows play on my fears
Absent faces I wish I could find
The cold truth thrown in my face
Harsh words ruin an embrace
No longer lovers no longer friends
Yet my doubts hover, when will it end
This dark tunnel I travel
This dark mountain I scale
At the end a judge's gavel
The sentence is. . .
I failed

Untitled 4

Earth, fire, water, wind, soul
Tell the world so all will know
One day the elements
will make one
on that day
evil will run
from fierce warriors
with feral glints
out of the mists
where they were sent
battle fields covered
with elemental war
and will remember
the forgotten lore
over is the ancient duel
and in the end we do rule

back to top

Untitled 5

A dark shadow in the back of my mind
A scared little girl hides there
From a fear she can't face
And a secret she needs to tell
Heavy footsteps fall in the hall
She closes her eyes
And pretends she doesn't feel
The shame

Untitled 6

You sat in the dark
I reached out my hand
You took it and felt safe
Now that you have learned
How to find the light
You've shut me in the dark
And locked the door

back to top

Untitled 7

Your honeyed words
Hide the poison
You slip to me behind my back
The smile that you flash
Doesn't meet your eyes
Which bear me malice
The hug which in given
In the name of friendship
Is only an excuse to plunge
Your sharp dagger in my back
Piercing my naivete and
I watch my innocence die

Untitled 8

The red one, the blue one
The grey one, the green one,
which one will be the
Light that leads me out
Of this dark tunnel in
Which I have lived for
So long

Nightwings carry me
When I close my eyes
Gliding over the misty ground
Almost touching the stars

Untitled 10

A little girl cries
"My tummy hurts"
A strong man with caring brown eyes
cradles her in his arms and rocks
singing soft lullabies
lovingly if a bit off key
The girl goes to sleep,
listening to the steady beat
of her Daddy's heart
Now she wonders
where that man went
Wonders where is the comfort
she always used to find with his hugs
Wonders what happened to the
softness in his eyes
Wonders if his heart has ceased to beat

back to top

Untitled 11

I sit here watching the thread
of family unravel
Watching love turn into hate
I wonder why it has to be this way
Can the men I love, not love each other
Am I forever in the middle
forced to choose one not both
Everything said becomes some great slight
Can he not look the other way
Intense brown eyes of a father
Bore into me
Wanting to know my soul
but still not understanding
What happened to the man who comforted me
now he calls me a slut
What happened to the man who kissed my bruises
now he causes them inside where none can see
What do I do to fix this rift
How do I stop the thread from unraveling

back to top

Untitled 12

My heart has hardened
yet the tears cascade
I am so cold
yet the ache will not fade
I feel like a stone
yet I think I will melt
I put up my wall
remembering the torment I felt
Why can't I let it go
the whole stupid thing
Why won't it fade
the shadow of our ring
Why do I hear your voice
even when you're not there
why do I still feel your fingers
running through my hair
Are we ever going to get back together
or is it to end
this love that was to last forever

back to top

Untitled 13

A moment of silence
Speaks more than words
A flickering candle
Now can be heard
The song of our hearts
Will not be dimmed
Our National Anthem
Sang like a hymn
Terrorists of the world
Make no mistake
Our families, our Country
Are not yours to take
Now and foever we'll be
The land of America
Meant to be free
