The Sin Within

Oppression, repression, obsession
Where I find myself within

Intention, attention, retention
Where it all began

Impression, Depression, recession
Balance between sins

Purple Suns

Purple suns and glyphs obscure
In a dream we met
Swirling, enticing, esoteric I'm blue
Yearning for conscience
I sat under the purple sun
A picture spoke
Your words did fly
In a dream we met
Your soul called for mine
Symbols of truth
Like monoliths of sin
Azure mysteries of beauty denied
All beneath the Alaskan sky

Dark Moon Rising

The dark moon is rising
No silver left to see
The crone has awakened
Her power flows in me

The dark storm is coming
The rain pouring down
The thunder raises power
As lightening takes ground

The dark Queen is walking
Her whispers call to me
Ancient wisdom flowing
Circling energies flow free

The dark night is waiting
Its lure a sweet bane
Stepped through my shadow
And I am forever changed

In My Time

In my time of dying
I knew only pain

In my time of laughter
My tears fell like rain

In my time of heartache
My laugher was mute

In my time of joy
My smiles weren't truth

In my time of mourning
I found an absence of light

In my time of knowledge
Ignorance blinded my sight

In my time of trusting
I knew I was wrong

Rainbow Tears

Through rainbow tears I see love's true colors
Shining bright amongst them above all others...
Red, Green, Yellow, violet and blue...
All these beautiful colors I now see in you.

Love is my pot of gold,
Forever within my grasp
All I need are open eyes
And a map to complete this task.

And the storm will come of this we know
And darkness soon calls the show
Around me a rainbow of tears have spent.
My pot of gold to you have went.

And miracle is the day I found
My rainbow tears scattered upon the ground
My heart forever now is glad
Leaving room for light to replace the sad.
