Never Look Back




 What A Silly Silly
 Little Mind Your Have Always Tripping Off Into Past Exploits
 Past Loves Past Losses
 Instead Of Battling Today's Demons And Complexes..

 Fool!!!

 They See The Present Verse Only
 The Love They Make Is To The Day

 Never Look Back It's All Turned Black

 Preset Verse Only

 We Are Alone Within OurSelves
 What To Do? What To Do?

 "I Think Your Screwed"
 Mom's Voice Again....

Aged Complain






One Two Three
Would You Be Me For A While
And I Be You.....

I Need A Rest
I Really Do..
I Really Fucking Do

You Got A Nice Pad
I Got Plenty Of Pain
Maybe Take My Place For A Bit?

InSanity Rising
Like The Tumor
Of Aged Complain...

The Boat is Gone Excerpt Two




another excerpt from my unfinished novel 'The Boat is Gone" about two new found lovers who chose the wrong vacation day.. a scuba diving excursion.


"No"
"No"
"No"
He cried, spitting out his mouthpiece from between his lips.
She was still below enjoying the rock formations

How could he tell her?
How could he say such a thing to his new found love?

The Boat is Gone
The Boat is Gone

The life together with her, all the warmth, the loving.
It would remain just a dream.
In The last hour of air they both had in their tanks, he would try to live a lifetime.
He knew there was no hope.
He'd seen the map.
No Islands, this was not a heavely boated area of the ocean.

She rose to the surface before him.
She wrapped her arms around and kissed him.

"That salty  kiss is so good" he thought.

He'd only known her in person for a day.
Yet he remembered a life time with her.
Her brasilian accent tickled him so.

He remembered her voice on the computer as a .wav file sent via email.
"Write me" she had implored.
It had echoed in his mind.
If he had never written her back that first time.
They would both be alive tomorrow.

I Have Seen Evil




I Have Seen Evil
I Have Felt It's Presence

It Hides In The Minds Of Man
Detects His Anxiety
Amplifies His Presence

"Let Me Be" " Your Honor"
"I Have Nothing To Offer You"

I Watch You Cry
I Watch You Cry
And Wonder Why

Draught Summer Ain't No Fun
It's The Glistening Leaves That Grab The Sun

The Dryness Of The Earth Bakes My Soul
The Crisptness Of The Air Takes It's Toll

The Pure White Earth
Requires The Dew Of The Air

Andrea In My Heart




Like Flowers Blowing In The Wind 
Their Petals Fluttering 
Fighting To Maintain Stability 
Just Resistence..No Force..No Offence.. No Fight.. 

Just The Delicate Survival
Just The Fragrance.. Passing

Essence Of Femininity
This Is The Female Spirit As I Know it.
Watch For Any Man
That Catches The Fragrant Flow
"Know" What "Femininity" Is

Andrea In My Heart
Seems A Good Place To Start

Our Love




Is This Our Love
Are We In Love

Is This How We Love
Or Are We Just Fooling The Dove

Love Is What You Make It
Love Is What You Take From It

Is This Our Love
Is This Our Life
Will Your Forever
Forever
Remain
My Wife?

Haunted




Haunted By Memories
Forgotten Past

Seeds Planted
Love To Come?

Weeds Grown
Mounds Of Earthly Love

Forgotten Death
Mowed over
Planted Existence

Mowed Over
And Derelict

Stone Grow Colder
In The Night

Shall I Lift It
See Your Fright?

I Try
I Try

I Just Can't Might

to be continued.....

They Found You Better
They Found You Better
Off
Dead

Love Is The Connection




Love Is The Connection
Between Two

That Empowers Both
With The Strength Of Many...




The Dark Inside





I'm In The Dark Over Here
But I Can See You
I Can See
How You Walk
How You Talk
How Your Smile

From My Vantage
In The Dark

In The Dark
Of My Mind
Of My Heart
Of My Soul

Yes It's Dark Over Here.

Do You Fear Me?
I Wonder..
Do You Love Me Too?
Are There Things I can Do
To Reach You?
To Reach The Glow
That Lies Below
The Surface Of Your Eyes
The Streams Of Your Thought Flow

You Can Tell Can't You?
You Can See No?

I am Dangerously Close
To The Finale Of My Show.

"How Your Features They Stutter
The Breach Of The Stable Tide"

Perhaps Distance Is Keen
To The Screaming Machine
That As Only Your And I Know
Interrupts The Quiet Streams
Of Flowing Amber Light That Is Your Life

Yes It's Dark Over Here
But I Can See You
I Can See The Light..

Home




Home Is Where One Finds Shelter From The Rain.
Home Is Where One Finds Shelter From The Cold.

Home Is Where The Love Is Unconditional.
Home Is Where One Can Lay One's Head, Close One's Eyes And Regain One's Energy Lost In
This Crazy Place We Call Life.

Home Is Often where One Finds One's Own Heaven Sent Angelic Arms That Wrap One In Their Charms.

Yes Home..

I Remember When I Could Go Home Again.....

Forgive God




I'd Like To Think We Can Forgive God..
For All The Wrong He's Done Us..

And Treat Each Other
As An Old Friend..Returned..

I'd Like To Think We Can Return To God
How He Found Us..

UnEncombered By Fallacy
UnRestricted By Lies
NonDependant Of Desire
UnAfflicted By Despair

Made Whole Again..
After Loss Of All That We Loved...

The Boat Is Gone - excerpt




The is an excerpt from my story "The Boat Is Gone" about a newly formed love between two who chose the wrong vacation day -  scuba diving, based on a true story. Enjoy The Excerpt.

With their deaths came a shimmering to the ocean water. One could say if there had been anyone there to witness it, that from the water a passing had occurred. A fading glow in the water rose to find the stars. 

    Passed on family reunited for a wedding. Lost loved ones prepared for a gathering.
            “All the dreams added up” he thought now
The puzzle solved, the maze defeated.
            ‘There WAS more to life”

The stars formed a familiar pattern, picture perfect....glowing in the night sky.

Garden Of Eden




They're Aware Of Our Presence
In The Garden Of Eden..

They're Aware Of The Outcasts
Within The Perimeter

They Have Sent Out Their Sentrys
To Retain Their Diameter..

We Must Remain Within Setforth Parameter

Or Suffer The Fate
Of Millions Of Untold Souls

Who Heard The Calling
And Left Their Homes..

Meeting Mr.Death - Please Hear My Plea





I've Come For Your Apology
Or For Your Blood On Me...

I've Come For Your Love..
Or I've Come For Your Death..

Yes I've Come Yes I've Come
Yes I've Come

Mr Death..

Mr Death Please Hear Me Out
I Have To Shout
Over The Departing Souls Of Tomorrows Gold..

Mr.Death I Haven't Lived
I Haven't Sinned

But Will Tomorrow's News Bring Your Tools..

Mr.Death Hear My Plea Hear My Plea For Sanctity..

I Ask For A Mere But One Day
Then I'll Join You On Your Way

Lay My Head Upon The Gurney
Close My Eyes And Take That Journey
 
So Mr.Death Please Hear My Plea
For Just One Day Of Sanctity

24 Moments Of Your Time
To Sit Quiet And Drink My Wine

And Pray That Death Finds Another
To Make His Own To Call His Brother

To Pass Over My Head...
To Leave Me For Dead..

That My Eyes Might Open In
25..
To Be Left Alive...
