Insomnia

Watching the sunrise
Listening to the birds sing
I should go to bed...

Silently

Silently Souls slipped into eternity
While the world sang auld lang syne.
Capturing memories of the out going year
Excitement seemed to be at an all time high
And as the cheers went into high gear a spirit bade farewell
With Fire work displays...

In Silence

In silence  I wait,  I listen to hear,
The words I've spoken from my mouth to your ear.
I love your presence. Its so easy to be,
Surrounded by your warmth , your energy.
You are my strength, my hiding place.
I am surrounded solely by your...

Choose To Be Blessed

There is no wise counsel with the ungodly,
Their words are tainted by the world.
Disdain is heard in most every word, devoid of good conversation.
Yet there is a Book of the Law,
Of which I stand in awe...  
Of its teachings.
I study it. ...

My Vow to you

My son, when I gave birth to you
I birthed a new side of me.
For it was the first time in my life
I discovered how much love I had inside of me.
Although I  bore scars that left me confused
I knew I'd have to pour out love that had never been...

Careless Whisper

I wasn't sure what he needed
Yet in his arms I lay.
I kept thinking to myself,
Maybe I took his pain away.
And created my own.

Dated Sept 10th,...

And Darkness Fades

On the battlefield
Humanity cries
Demons reign
Across the earth
Now a wasteland
It rains
Their screams
In delight


But there is hope
A prayer is said
The Our Father, and
They deminish
& it decays
In place of darkness
comes His light...

Dead & Dry

Statues of cold
as firm and steady as the ground
There is no love here,
hope,
or pain,
There are no colors here
only shades of between
Endless white skies
and endless black nights
In a world dead and...

No Justice; No Peace

Increasingly with undeniable frequency.
Protestors picket.
With words to hear claiming,
Their valued democracy...
Has begun to being noticeably to cease.

They blame corruption.
And political dysfunction.
Lawlessness committed.
By those...

Radioactive Woman

I was born of steel and smoke
Sent here from a realm unknown
Guided through the eternal core
Breathing the magma as it filled my lungs

I was shaped by salt and stone
Hardened from the depths below
Veins weaved by stars of solid gold

My Creation

I see your face staring back at me
I don't understand what you're trying to say
If I could only hear your words
What would they be, if you could speak?

Every day when the sun sets
Your little mind will wander away
Dream to be, dream to see...
