ESCAPE TO THE HORIZON
Run fly through the skies… Fly
Run for the sun… Run
On wings of light
On feet of flight
Escape to the sky
Escape to fly
Like a bird to the Horizon
Dare to sing
Dare to dream
Challenging everything
On your way to the horizon

FREE AS THE WIND
As the wind blows through the trees
Over lands, mountains, and trees
Past oceans far and wide
To the planet’s other side
I dream of a time when I might be
As free as the wind blowing through the trees

STAR GAZING
As I gaze at a shining star
Against the black velvet night
I think of world’s afar
With creatures watching a similar sight

FALLEN DOVE
All the flying birds of wonder
Feathers bright eyes keen
Have fallen asunder
Never again to fly
Never again to be seen
Vivid sorrowful sights shown
Like pure evil against a backdrop of love
Like horrors to awful to be known
Nothing left but echoes of a crying dove
No beauty to be shown
No light from above

HEAVEN, EARTH, And HELL
Of the darkness is the light
Of the morning is the night
All is one
All is none
Good and evil both are spun
Into all that is human
Book of good, Book of damned
All’s the same in this land
Place of morning Place of light
Place of darkness place of night
All’s the same with bliss or blight
Because this place is intertwined
With itself and our minds
Heaven and Hell both combine
Within this place of dying this place of birth
In this place we call earth

The possibilities of humanity for either good or evil and the idea that earth is between heaven and hell with aspects of both

SONS OF THE SUN
Source of light source of life
Source of love source of strife
Star of night star of day
Source of sorrow source of May
Sol of souls, sons of the sun
Past present and those to come
Darkness thrives in all the night
With evil thoughts and wicked ways
Which days of light may over-come
With pure thoughts and kind ways

POOL OF LIFE
Waters dark and deep
Rivers flowing long
The secrets they keep
Falling waters song
Vast lakes spread
Across the land
A cup of water
The source of life
As a bird in the hand
Tranquil liquid seeping away
Through the depths of the sea
Lost knowledge
Never to stay anywhere
Flowing eternally

RIVER OF TIME
Darkness fleeting
Dawn ascending
Brings the world new day
Winter morning
Takes with it new hope if it may
To the ‘marrow of yesterday
Yet the waning of the night
Soon gives way
And forgotten is the light
Still darkness again is fading
Light no longer waning
Brightens the new found day
Winter now is fleeting
Springs the season a new
Sprung forth from drops of dew
With cherry blossoms in bloom
Now hear to stay
Until the next autumn morning
Or winter day
Until the ‘marrow of yesterday

LIFE’S FINAL BREATH
Red river running
Flowing to the end
End of days
Devils are dancing
Blue skies blackened
Feathered clouds fall
Fiery earth opens
Bleeding death
Thunder’s cracking
Weapons are gleaming
When darkness is broken
So is breath
Hearts beat their last
This is the end
All is over
Nothing left to rend

SKY GODDESS

Fly down to me
Take me to your home above
Take me to the lightest blue sea
Where all the world is calm
And I among the clouds am free

DEVIL ON YOUR BACK
Devil on your back
Devil on your shoulder
Listen to him
And you will smolder
Skin burned to ash
Bones ground to dust
With all his lust
You will grow colder
All earth before you scorched asunder
The blood that ran deep now runs over
Your meat in the pot
Your fat on to boil
Your guts on a plate
Soon to stain the soil

MORNING STAR’S DESCENT
I swallow back the tears
For all you've said untrue
Why would you fall from grace?
When soaring is so easy to do
What compels your descent?
When all you'd need's right here
Once you've touched the ground
You never will return, I fear
Please come back before... It's Too Late!
He Will Strike you down
And hold you to your fate
You've chosen for yourself
To fall when you could fly
To lie when you could pray
Morning Star I cry
For your death
Though you still live
But to meet your gaze
Would be to share your fate
It's far too late, It's too late

WRATH OF A KIND SOUL
Let their lives breath and blood flow away from them
As my calm flows from me into a river white but impure
Fly forth the spirits of wrath from my rupturing heart
To tear away neglected souls form vessels unclean
And bring them to forest meadows or sheltered gardens serene
Letting their cruel corpses rot for all eternity
My world is dark and dying
Skies all starless moonless crying
Soon there came a kinder calling
Of death come to reap a tired soul

KID’S STORM
Bright and Bleak
The Sun Doth Streak
Across The Arid Sky
When Clouds Drift Near
With Lightning Feared
And Thunder’s Clap
You Hide
Soon Black Clouds Drift Away
With Icy Tears Dried
And The Sun Shines Once More
Upon A Greener Floor
Because The Rain Was Cried

FROM CAVERNS
From caverns dark and deep
Rivers flowing long
The secrets they keep
Falling water’s song
To realms of day and light
From darkness sight
Over hills of blue and green
And all that is seen
Is bright

PALER SKIES
Purple grey skies are rising
Bluest day skies are gone
Starry black nights are fading
Paler dark skies are long
Dimmer roads are winding
Through tangled bare trees
All the bright birds have fallen
From their lofty perches
To the darkened seas

THE ROADS UNDER THE SKY
From Oceans Deep
To Mountains tall
This road winds forth
To walk for all
From darkest deeps
To thrones on high
Roads run on
Forever under the sky
Roads are for feet to fly
Or to walk or run
All may do so
Under this day’s sun.

MOONLIT SKY-Y NIGHT
Moonlit sky-y night
No stars in sight
Moonlit sky-y night
I cry for heavenly flight
Lift me above your veiled heights
To the stars’ twinkling lights
And the silvery moon so high

WOLF And EAGLE
Silver starlight dripping onto wood and field
Wolven howl and eagle’s scream
Haunt your soul and pierce your heart
Silver, Night Sun, Silver Night Son
Cast your light this eve
Over the meadow come and see
The tragic Wolf cry and eagle sing
Teeth to talons claws to preying beak
Swift is the climb from wolf’s keep
Fast falls the wolf from eagle’s heights
Let fall your rays and perceive
The eagle’s triumph and wolf’s defeat

STREAMS AND POOLS

SMILING SONS
Swift and shining sunlit rays
Blind the dark eyed waking child

Winking dust from eye

Who knew the sun could smile

ONE SCREAM PIERCES THE DARKNESS
From the depths of longing
One scream pierces the darkness
One plea rends the sudden silence
Breathlessly, Calling
“Don’t Leave Me, ALONE!”
With tragic Keen, All Piercing
She flew before all others
To Find Him at Death’s brink
One plea rends the sudden silence
“Don’t Leave Me, ALONE!”
Love once stayed the reaper’s scythe
Let breathes pull save this one
Save her love with life’s kiss
A whisper of hope
Death’s defiance

LIVING DYING DREAMING CRYING
Once my world was dark and dying
Nights all void of light
Skies all starless moonless crying
Rains fell with un-dreamt might
Earth cracked on sand-less shores
Blackest cold
Veiled all the world
Rain still falling, ever more
Till the goddess of my dreaming
Slowly spinning from the sky
Falling flying to my world, now a singing
Floats before me with a sigh

__________________________________________
ALARM-CLOCK
Darkest dreaming
Broken screaming
Flying falling into seeing
From the pitchest to the light
In the white with a sightless sight
Blinding blurring
With eyes still clenched, for the clearing
Go to move yet only sink
Further to the darkness’ brink
Wonder why
The thoughtless cry
That ends the dreamless dreaming
I . . .
Now awake in the morning
From a slumber no longer snoring
Unrest my head from restless sleep
Falling finally to my feet
3-4-05

__________________________________________
TEARS OF THE ANGELS
Tears of the angels
Falling from the dark skies
Down to earth
Who knows why they cry?
Do they want to walk down
Our earthen roads
As much as we long to
Fly, up in their heavenly skies?
Rain falling to wash away the paths and ways
That they long to stride
Down, drown the world and sky, in tears
And the wings on their backs will reel
Where will they land?
Only in the sea of tears
Sinking down, down to those, lonely paths

AMBER EYES, CALLING
Calling Howl of the Lone Wolf
To the Silvery Moon
Amber Eyes are Haunting
There came a soothing croon
From over the hills and mountains
An echo could be heard
Of a Siren’s soft keen
From where he’d soon be lured

LIFE’S TAPESTRY
Life Dangles on a string
Pleading eyes are soaring Wings
Flying away from me
Fears of tragic sea green eyes
Fogged and fading
My Tears blinked to wind and breeze
You fallow them with your gaze
As your eyes begin to fade
I call your name
As you slip away
Fears of death
Out-weigh fears of life
Without you
I want to run want to scream
Not to fall not to sleep
I breathe my last sigh
With threads all unraveling

WHISPER
White whisper on the wind
Flutes as a feather falling
With roots as a tender tether
Lovely, as a robin calling
In Words as a lily blooming
“Run away with me”
With hands clasped and feet a flying
We ran the world away
From moonless crying
To starlit days
And warmer nights
With a kinder gaze

TIME
In darkest shades of gray
Hiding the bitter blackness
He brings all decay
A ghostly glimpse of white
Belies the shrouded might
In an angel’s scythe
Of those that never seek it
All shall find it
For those that ever reap it
Not all shall mind it
He is the reaper grim
All of life he devours
Though called Death
His truest name
Is time

LINGERING SORROW
Hollow words are spoken
An empty song I sing
Muted voice, now broken
Grayest tone, disheartening
Tears now come
In pale streams
Even as I fall
Into the sea
From grey life
To red sleep

THE MIGHTIEST PEN
With pen as sword and blankness foe
I strike the air above you though
Grasping flinging words and strokes
Until my mind has grasped some hope
Of rhymes and thoughts once unknown
Then with sword from the mud
I push forward
To stain my foe
With blackest blood
And grow
The whitest blooming flower bud

WOODEN SPOON
Warrior wielding a wooden spoon
Rescuing the maiden made of thread
Child that conquers all and soon
With lid as shield and pot on head
Shall slay the dragon dead
The pup’s tongue is licking flame
But the child tapped him with his wooden lead
And that pup he did play dead
Victorious the knight he did come
And the maiden was rescued

WONDER SONG
Wordless wings of wonder song

Onto the earthen soil
Quills that pierce the blackness
Strike the page and sing
Of the wonder song
And wordless wings

MONSTERS ONCE MEN
Demons in the sky
Monsters once men
Fell Figures fly
Praying for their sin
Death all consuming
Deep from within
Demons don’t die
They simply rise once again
They’ll never be strong enough
They’ll never be smart enough
They’ll never be consumed with love
They’ll never rise above
They’ll never see
They’ll never be
They’ll struggle on and feel nothing but
Burning deep hatred for me
But from the ashes will raise brave men
Bringing the fight back to them

WORLD’S-CRY

SILENT SCREAMING
Silent screaming from the dark
Pale whisper from the stark
White walls and silent stair
Steps creaking nearer
Slowly nearer
Silent screaming from dark places
Glaring eyes and twisted faces
Heart sinking as it races
Shadows creeping nearer
Slowly nearer
Forewarned terror wild and wheeling
Round the room as you’re screaming
Blinding light now all piercing
Shadows reeling
Fleeing, shadows fleeing
