In the midst of sleep-
I'm dreaming.
Of another time,
and place.
I see there is a smile-
yet not among my face.
I see so many shadows.
floating here and there.
And a tiny voice
of horror.
That simply states-
beware...
In the midst of sleep
I'm dreaming-
of times when
I was young.
I awaken from
the screaming.
Not mine-but
from my son.
In the midst of sleep
I'm frightened.
Afraid I won't awake.
Indecisive of my
action.
Which road that I should take.
In the midst of sleep
I'm falling
I"I've lost my hopes
and dreams.
In the midst of sleep
You awaken
And yes it's you who screams!
The path I should
have taken.
Was overcome with grief.
The want of I to awaken
was stolen by a thief.
I sit here
and I wander
of how it used to be.
I sit here and I ponder-
will you my love
miss me?
The steps I should have taken
were rotted through from time.
I stepped onto the pavilion
and thought it through
once more.
And that is why-
that you my love
found me upon
the floor

Lonely Faces
01/011/03
|
Lonely faces
Distant eyes.
Somewhere now
A child cries.
"Please stop
My hurt"
"Please stop
My pain."
When you
Beat a child -
What do you gain?
A busted arm,
A jaw,
Or leg.
They back away.
They plea,
And beg.
Lonely faces,
Distant eyes.
Somewhere now
A child
Dies!

A Moonlight Walk
01/19/03
|
A moonlight walk,
along the beach.
Stars like dreams
within our reach.
Misty sprays
from oceans deep.
Hold me tightly
while I sleep.
Morning sun,
morning dew.
I lie awake,
and think of you!
Come to me,
and take my hand.
Can you help me understand?
A moonlight walk
near oceans deep.
Not one promise-
did you keep.
Can you tell me,
and be true.
Honey am I
losing you?
A moonlight walk
along the beach.
I can't be saved
I'm out of reach!

Swimming In My Ocean
02/06/03
|
I'm swimming in my ocean,
the ocean I call life.
Dreams of past-
of childhood,
as a mother,
and a wife.
I'm swimming in my ocean
drowning in my tears.
Swimming in my ocean
re-living all my fears.
Can someone throw-
a life vest,
and send it out my way.
For now I'd like
to take a rest.
If only for a day!
I'm swimming in my ocean
drowning in my tears.
Can you take me in your arms,
and take away my fears?
I'm swimming in my ocean.
The ocean I call life.
Someone threw a life-line
he cut it with a knife!
I'm swimming in my ocean,
wishing he were dead.
I'm swimming in my ocean
loving you instead!

Let Me Go
02/13/03 |
I got a letter yesterday,
on the wings of a
damaged dove.
And that letter
that I got was
signed in hate-
not love.
You put a knife
into my heart,
and twisted it like so.
Why don't you
grow up.
Be a man,
and finally let me go.
I got a letter yesterday,
and opened it like so.
Those words-
you write yet
you won't speak.
I'd really like
to know.
How often
have I asked you-
of how you feel
towards me.
And then you lie-
you say you care.
If so then set me free!
You think that I'm
your prisoner.
Then let me
tell you NO!
Why don't you grow up
be a man,
and finally
let me go!

One More Angel
02/26/03
 |
God looked around his garden,
and chose a soul to free.
For he needed
one more angel
to watch over you and me.
The angels were out singing,
and knocked upon
your door.
You can lean upon
our shoulders.
Thats what friends
are for.
Some of us have been there,
and know the pain you feel.
So keep your trust
up in the Lord.
For only time
can heal.
There's nothing
one can say,
and there's nothing
one can do.
So here's to let you
know my friend.
That we are
here for you.
Each one of us
is special.
And one more
thing that's
true.
You'll never be
alone my friend.
For one more
Special angel
watches over you!
