• Oasis

    As the sun hammers its blazing heat Upon the drying clay and sand I find some shade amidst scattered stones On the horizon I see a tree Reaching into the sky As I walk I trip on scattered bones I’m a hundred miles from nowhere I hear echoes of a knell I’m a hundred miles from somewhere Where hungry creatures dwell The moon shines quietly in the eve While the nightlife stalks its prey And I stagger on to find a tree It’s out there waiting patiently Knowing I’m on my way I continue my quest, patiently Today the sun is even hotter Than it ever was before I wring…

  • Spirits

    Behind every dream Stands a special part — Something that’s strong Beneath everything Lies a key — to start Guiding us along To desire is human To achieve divine — Need some help to get there A spirit drives inside Indecision Tires our souls — With each step we take Our feet get cold — Got to believe Got to be bold… Once in a while Something flames within Giving us a reason To strive for more And be just a little Better than the rest We were given power To control our lives — For us to reach our goals The spirit must survive Motivation Fires our souls —…

  • The Host

    I feel the winter coming I feel the cold I sense a storm approaching But I’ll just turn my back And close my eyes… When first the Earth Gave birth to days We took to it as our own When the sun shone on our faces We knew we’d be going places As the world turns Things come undone Actions go unchanged Songs go unsung So much time spent finding the cure No moments lost In stopping the cause We drain the life force That gives us life We tire the strength Of Creation Turn on our machines And close our minds… Waiting out the fools Who wait for others…

  • Take My Hand, O Lord

    Take me, O Lord, by the hand I know I’ll fall, But I only need your Love To help me stand; You are my Savior And guiding hand… O, Lord, Your Love gives me strength To stride through each day With courage and purpose full; So take my hand, And guide my journey Through this land… My heart’s seen the Truth My eyes have seen the proof Of Your Love And I take You, Lord, into my heart That I may finish all I start; There’s nothing I can’t do With Your Love to see me through And I know I’ll never lose my way With You to guide me…

  • Constant Change

    By the hands on a clock The time of day appears to change Different by the minute Beckoning the seconds to tick away Here we go ’round again Will the changes ever end Or will they stay the same As they’ve always been Changing. Changing. Changing into things we’d like to see Moving to places we’d like to be Places. Places. Faces of those we know Cruel or kind, friend or foe Talking with strangers Listening alone. Alone. Change the condition Strengthened by superstition That says there’s no need To be like all the rest Constant time, constant space A constant fear, a constant place Constantly changing Changing the way…

  • Quietly

    On a moonlit night Which dreams do make I sang a familiar song One of passion One of power But inside I felt so wrong Something wasn’t there I was empty inside Missing something I knew Feeling sad Feeling alone For I was missing you I want to be there in your arms Holding you so close to me I want to be there in your heart Tenderly I want to be there with you now And feel you next to me When I tell you that I Love You Quietly I can feel your warmth So I try to sing But it only brings a tear For I’m still…

  • Anthem

    As I look into your eyes I see a saddened cry You think that one day I won’t be there As I whisper in your ear You keep inside a darkened fear That one day I just won’t care But I tell you now I’ll never leave What must I do to make you believe That I’ll never go away Just hold inside that I love you true That love will always shine for you Again I say I’ll forever stay Will you ever understand A woman’s the best part of a man? And that you’re the biggest part of me? Can’t I make it clear to you That there’s…

  • A Fine Line

    Walk a tightrope carefully Don’t be bold Feel the wire beneath your feet Don’t lose control Dance between the bullets of life and death Chance the danger — a whispered breath Adrenaline rise — See it in your eyes Experience the heat Of inevitable defeat It’s a fine line Between being a hero And being a memory Be courageous Don’t be blind Take responsibility Foolishness will take you to a lonely time When they remember you as a hero who crossed the line Survival is a fancy name For staying alive It’s important to know Just when to take a dive There’s no need to prove yourself to everyone Always…

  • Simple Thoughts

    Two people bound by love Sharing each other’s dreams Hoping to find what seems To be the gift from above Struggling to make things better Concerned over meaningless pasts Trying to lock down love in time To be sure it will always last Anxiously awaiting the future Trying to peek through the door Searching for a glimpse of hope The hope of having more Hand in hand in heart and mind Compelled that they knew of The invulnerable force of simplest kind Which binds them together in love…

  • The Fortress

    (part 1 of Survival) I The Preparation The mote is filled And the drawbridge tight — Their weapons are their tools For survival For the Guardians of the fortress Prepare to defend themselves Against a hungry pack Of wolves The clouds come rolling in Death watches with a grin… Fear and Courage Partners in a lonely quest for more Their strategy is fate Live by the sword, die by the sword II The Empire The Imperial leaders ponder A hopeless way around it Their tyranny’s caught up with Them at last Power wasn’t everything They always wanted more So now their flags flutter at half-mast The rebels flow over the…
