Destiny Unknown

Dark skies surround me
Leave me feeling so alone
Destiny unknown

For The One Missing

Though I should rejoice
My heart is weary and sad
For the one missing

My Heart Misses You (don't know why)

Something Unknown
Kindles Infatuation
Settles Underneath
Kinetic Information
Slowly Unwraps
Kindly Invitation
Softly Untold
Knowing Isolation

Valentine Kisses

Valentine Kisses
I only dream
My life binds
but you
remind
ME

of what love might be
everywhere now
I feel you
think of
YOU

If You Should Dream

If you should dream
Dream that you are so lucky
To share your dream with someone
Be so bold as to dream of love
Because a dream that has not love
Is destined to fall to earth
and dreams are not earthly

I Saw A Snake In The Grass

Peering through the swamp grass
I saw a snake
The snake saw me
coiled and sprung
Big Mistake!
I chopped it in two
The quartered it too
Might give a piece to you
Heads you win!
Tails you lose!
Either way: New snakeskin shoes!

Passion Never Goes Out Of Fashion

Dare to live with passion
Don't fear repercussion
Don't remain silent
When there is discussion
You can't please everyone anyway
Say what you feel
Feel what you say
Live with passion
Passion opens the door
Kicks down the walls
Shouts through the halls
Picks the lowly off the floor
Has the audacity to try a little more
The world is prone to change
But passion never goes out of fashion

Down For The Count

Sadness and lonliness hit hard
Srike early in the morning
Without warning

His heart is on fire
turned inside out
losing this bout

He lies on the canvas
waiting to be saved by the bell
Sucker punched by private hell

But the bell doesn't ring
Neither do angels notice or sing
Left to die in the ring

A fighter wants to get back up
Not by strength, but by heart
But it betrays him...It's broken apart

Love and Faith

All we have is love and faith
So much of life is fragile
We learn
And can be taken away
So much can go astray
But for love and faith
The last things to leave us
The first we hope for when we stray
The two things we pray
Even when heath and youth wither away
We may or may not feel loved ourselves
But if we have love in our heart we are truely blessed
And if we have faith we have what is best
Because God will see us through the rest

Remaining Silent Is Not Love

Love is unafraid to speak
Love is bold
Love is Truth
Love perseveres
Love has no bounds
Love knows not fear
So love often is the voice that points out an offense
Love is often the voice that stands up and says 'NO! '
Love is the voice that battles injustice
Love is the voice you wish to turn off because the truth hurts
Often the very one we run from..is the one who loves us most
But love forgives
Love will take you back in
And when you know Love your heart will mend
And you will smile again
