THE SONG


OVER BLUE-GREEN CRYSTAL, SEA BIRDS SOAR,

OF LOVE I'VE KNOWN I HAVE TO SEE MORE,

SECRETS OF LOVE FROM THE SEA FOR AGES,

TO ONLY KNOW MORE THRU ITS MOONLIT PAGES,

BY THIS SHORE MANY A LOVER SHALL MEET,

BUT I HEAR NO WORDS, NO LOVE SHALL I SEE,

I'M ALONE IN ITS VELVET ARMS, WHY MUST IT BE?

IF I HAD MY LOVE I NEED NOT WRITE,

WE'D BE ONE IN THE OCEANS SIGHT.

THESE SECRETS I SHARE WITH MY ONLY FRIEND,

BUT THE WAVES SAY, " LOVE HAS NO END ",

WHERE IS THE BEGINNING, WHERE IS LOVES GATE?

MY ANSWER IS A SONG, FOR TEARS SAY TO WAIT.
 
 
FADING


A DREAM, SO LIKE A FALLING STAR,

A DREAM, TO TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE,

IT'S DRIFTING AWAY, I CAN SEE.

A DREAM, IT'S FLOATING ON A CLOUD

A DREAM, DON'T SPEAK OF IT ALOUD,

IT'S DRIFTING AWAY, LET IT BE.

LIKE THE WIND IT HAS NO NAME,

AND THE WIND, TO ME IT CAME,

PLEASE COME BACK TO ME.

MY DREAM, MY DREAM, DON'T FADE AWAY,

WE'LL RIDE THE HILLS AGAIN SOMEDAY,

TOGETHER---ALWAYS FREE,


JUST A THOUGHT


I JUST CAN'T KEEP FROM SMILING,

WATCHING KITTENS AT PLAY,

MY MIND DRIFTS BACK TO FLOWERS

AND FIELDS OF YESTERDAY.

I THINK OF TRAILS UNRIDDEN,

OF UNFOUND DREAMS OF GOLD,

ALL THE RAINBOWS NEVER REACHED,

WATCHING MY LIFE UNFOLD.

RACING NOW, ACROSS A FIELD,

WIND IN A STRAND OF WHEAT,

I'M NOT SURE, CAN IT BE REAL?

DREAM HORSE, NO CHANCE TO MEET.

THERE IS NO TIME TO DREAM NOW,

I THINK I'M REALLY GLAD,

I KNOW MY DREAMS ARE HOPELESS,

INSIDE THAT MAKES ME SAD.

I SMILE NOW, WITH PRESENT THOUGHT,

I KNOW, INSIDE OF ME,

CERTAIN THINGS WILL NEVER CHANGE,

MY DREAMS ARE EVER FREE.
 
 
A PERIOD OF TIME


MY LIFE IS TWO-DIMENSIONAL, WITH THE SUN,

LAUGHTER, AND LOVE ONE MINUTE, THE RAIN, CLOUDS,

AND TEARS THE NEXT. ONE SAYING LOVE IS ALL, THE

OTHER SAYING WITHOUT WAR THERE IS NO PEACE. WHO

SHOULD I BELIEVE, WHICH PATH SHALL I FOLLOW?

EVERYONE RUNNING IN CIRCLES, GOING SOMEWHERE

AND YET NOT KNOWING WHERE OR HOW. THEY DREAM OF

THE FUTURE, BRIGHT AND SHINING AS A NEW PENNY,

YET SOMEHOW IT'S ALWAYS DARK. WHAT WE HOLD IN

OUR HEARTS IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT FATE HAS IN

STORE FOR US, FOR IN OURS HEARTS EVERYTHING IS

LOVELY, YET IN REALITY IT IS CLOUDY AND UGLY.

WHICH WAY DO WE GO?

AS I STAND, DRINKING IN THE BEAUTY OF THE FALLING DAY,

SAYING GOOD-BYE TO ONE MORE DAY OF

HEARTACHE, I WONDER WHAT MIGHT BE IN STORE ON

THE MORROW. IT SHINES SO LOVELY IN IT'S RED

ORANGE TWILIGHT, PEEKING FROM BEHIND THE CLOUDS.

I KNOW I CAN'T DO NOTHING FOR MYSELF, BUT HOP FOR

A PERIOD OF TIME THAT IS A SUN-SHINNY AS MY DREAMS.
 
 
BEING MYSELF


THE BLACK SATIN COMES TO EMBRACE ME, THE WIND

LASHES THRU MY HAIR....DRYING EACH TEAR ALMOST

IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT LEAVES ITS HIDING PLACE.

THE PLACE WHERE IT CAN'T BE SCORNED OR LAUGHED

AT BY ON LOOKERS, BUT WHERE IT CAN SLIDE PEACEFUL

DOWN MY CHEEK UNTIL THE WIND WHIPS IT AWAY.

IT IS NEVER SEEN AGAIN, BUT OTHERS TAKE IT'S PLACE.

AND SO THE CYCLE GOES ON UNTIL THERE ARE NO

TEARS LEFT, MY EYES ARE DRY, THE WIND TAKES

ITS PLACE AMONG MY TREES.

THE SUN GLOWS RED AND SLOWLY

STARTS ERASING THE BLACKNESS. I

STAND, STRETCH, AND TRY TO RELIEVED, LONGED FOR,

AND A QUITE SILLY GRIN.

THEN....I AM QUITE MYSELF AGAIN.

OH HOW I LONG FOR DEATH TO TAKE ME

FROM THE PAIN I FEEL EACH TIME WE MEET.

TO LOVE....

TO SEE, TO FEEL, TO DRIVE BODY AND SOUL TO A

STATE OF ECSTASY FROM WHICH THERE IS NO RETURN.

TO KNOW HOW RAINDROPS DANCE IN A MIDNIGHT SHOWER,

THO ALL THEY DO IS FALL. TO TOUCH, TO GIVE THYSELF,

MIND AND BODY, TO A SPARKLING STAR, WHICH THE SUN

DISPOSES OF WITH NO HINT OF SORRY, BUT THEN

TO HAVE THE STAR SHINE TWICE AS BRIGHT ON

THE COMING MOON, LAUGHING, " I AM INVINCIBLE".

BUT NO, A STAR IS NOT ENOUGH, FOR DAYTIME NEEDS A

LOVER TOO. WHOM SHALL I CHOOSE?

A FLOWER, THO SMELLING FRAGRANT, DIES IN SUCH

SHORT TIME. TREES DO NOT DIE, BUT GROW BROWN AND

UGLY WITH PASSING YEARS. THEN STRIPPED NAKED, TRY

THE SORRY VIGIL OF HIDING THEIR NAKEDNESS IN THE

SHADOWS. THE SUN, SMIRKING DOWN SO EVIL,, IMMORAL

AS HE IS BEAUTIFUL. HE EMBRACES ME IN ARMS OF WARMTH.

I SHAN'T BE FOOLED BY HER. MY STAR MUST BE ENOUGH,

UNTIL SHE FINDS A WAY TO CONQUER THE SUN.
