Has There Ever Been A Day
Has there ever been a day?
Where sunshine feels like forever;
darkness doesn’t feel evil.
When light would fill your being,
and the soul seems to lives on and on;
has there ever been a day?
Time tests us all.
No timeframe ever mentioned,
where sunshine feels like forever.
We plod, tred down our road,
searching, sometimes finding our way;
has there ever been a day?
Even I, portending greatness,
see this life as a mystery;
darkness doesn’t feel evil.
Such are the thoughts,
rambled on by both young and old.
Has there ever been a day,
darkness doesn’t feel evil?
For Love of You
For love of you, I embrace my tears
Unwilling dead to give life its start
In a world gone dark by senseless fears
Waters turbulent, emotion sheers
Flight! Away my biased dreams do dart
For love of you, I embrace my tears
Disquiet trembles toward unknown years
On broken spirit, your will impart
In a world gone dark by senseless fears
Foolish shroud obscures God-given cheers
Now blessed with your mighty soulful art
For love of you, I embrace my tears
Strong one, innocent, slighted by peers
My life, now yours, a new path does chart
In a world gone dark by senseless fears
Your way, now mine, precious future clears
Imperfect perfection fills my heart
For love of you, I embrace my tears
In a world gone dark by senseless fears
Who stole the peace?
This paper cut hurts, hurts worse, worse than love!
How can empty crumpled reams weigh as much!?
The ghostly feels scream for a share of blood.
Go on, squeeze the heart, with vise and glove—
And note the blatant void's still white as such!
This paper cut hurts, hurts worse, worse than love!
Out of the drawer, we draw with light above,
A glimmer of pen, knife, and nib in clutch!
The ghostly feels scream for a share of blood.
Seeking the tender underbelly of—
a world best left within the writer's hutch!
This paper cut hurts, hurts worse, worse than love!
A vain responsibility we'd shove
To gladly rid, rid ourselves double dutch—
The ghostly feels scream for a share of blood.
Thoughts do not run like some red ribbon'd dove
...whatever the mind would hazard and touch...
This paper cut hurts, hurts worse, worse than love!
The ghostly feels scream for a share of blood.

A walk through the woods
I listen to the silence that echoes
I hear a leaf rustle in the wind
walking a path I know not where it goes.
On silent wings a bird flies quick then slows
red feathers to the sky ascend
I listen to the silence that echoes.
Green-leafed branches entwine to form windows
brief glimpses of blue that does not end
walking a path I know not where it goes.
Around me everywhere I see shadows
fauna who with the dark will to blend
I listen to the silence that echoes.
Of nature’s beauty poems I compose
wishing I could share them with a friend
walking a path I know not where it goes.
I find brief respite from the constant throes
of suffering life towards me does send
I listen to the silence that echoes
walking a path I know not where it goes.
The Sun Will Set; The Stars Will Die
The sun will set; the stars will die
When hands will loose the grip of gain
The soul will flee its earthen frame
Soon you'll enter dark from light
When buried, will your body blight
The sun will set; the stars will die
You'll be at rest, your tomb and grave
From all your toil and work for fame
The soul will flee its earthen frame
Guarantee in peace you'll lie
Forgive, amend before its nigh'
The sun will set; the stars will die
Futile, holding out for blame
Where it started; whence it came
The soul will flee its earthen frame
Soon, upon the bed you'll lie
Death will utter out your name
The sun will set; the stars will die
The soul will flee its earthen frame
Glitz And Glimmer A Dance In A Song
Glitz and glimmer a dance in a song.
Butterfly floating in an angular twist.
Express yourself, make it strong.
Your heart is certain to go along.
Heart skips a beat, I'm sure you will not miss.
Glitz and glimmer a dance in a song.
The position is everything, a stretch of the arm.
A swing of the head, sending a soft air kiss.
Express yourself, make it strong.
Make others join in, while you adjust the thong.
Do a silhouette, half bend and make a wish.
Glitz and glimmer a dance in a song.
Never make a move that seems to be wrong.
Remake it, re-arrange it and put it on the list.
Express yourself, make it strong.
If all things fail, you did your best, no matter how long.
You never gave up or suffered any anguish.
Glitz and glimmer a dance in a song.
Express yourself, make it strong.

Look, what’s ov’r yonder?
See the Sage pour the drink.
O, o say hope you get better.
Carefully I observe the philosopher,
Who makes sure to ev’r think.
Look, what’s ov’r yonder?
On folks, lads~ ‘n’ lassies- move closer
Come one, all & remember to wear pink.
O, o say hope you get better.
Here we go, search for the grater
Someone pass the cheese, it’s near the sink—
Look, what’s ov’r yonder?
Ghouls! heading toward us, where’s our leader??
Children gather to hide now, go past the brink;
O, o say hope you get better.
what happened to it, where’s the ladder?
Okay, don’t spill the ink.
Look, what’s ov’r yonder?
O, o say hope you get better.

I’ll Stay Here Right With You
I'll stay here right with you
Nestled on top to keep you warm
Nice and safe from the coming storm
You will soon hatch into your new world
Have no fear, you won't be alone
I'll stay here right with you
The storm eats up our sun
Across our dusty land
No rain to come, only sand
The sands fly wild with the wind
It's harder to see, but fear not my dears
I'll stay here right with you
This storm is now violent
My feathers are ruffled from this
No worries, no grain will touch your oval surface
The howling sands rage on
It's harder to breathe, but never fret my dears
I'll stay here right with you
As our time together finally fades
