I really haven’t left you
I’m only going home
Think of me and smile for a while

Feel your heart within you
And sing with every beat
Think of me and smile for a while

Walk on meadow grasses
Feel them soft beneath your feet
Think of me and smile for a while

Remember pleasant moments
Hold them deep inside
Think of me and smile for a while

I’ll always be with you
Walking by your side
Think of me and smile for a while

It’s a night of easy recall
When I was a guest
Of hells Halloween ball

An extravagant arch
Cased elaborate, forested doors
Plush red carpets
Festooned hell’s ballroom floors

Upon my arrival my eyes observed that day
The carved relief’s on the doors as adorned
Of souls gone astray

I peered in the faces of eyes turned stone cold
A pack with the devil
For the contracts he holds

Great chandeliers, baroque ceilings high
Crystals fashioned
From the pain of the hopeless
And all the tears ever cried

At long tables laden with the feast of the night
Hearts of the wretched and unholy
Daemons consumed with delight

Each soul's deeds tallied
And their virtues as well
An eternity spent in heaven
The balance sheet would tell

The wretched and unholy
Sent to the bowels of hell

It’s hard, searching inside
Not seeing the glimmer
Of a flame that has died

Fate had its way
Life steered the course
As I floated the waters
Of fear and remorse

Peering through darkness
Hoping to see
Just a glimmer of light
A beacon for me

Guiding me safely to the shore
Of the piece and serenity
I’ve searched for before

But once again
Fate grabs my hand
And pulls me out
In the water again

I get so close
Then it happens once more
I’m floating in waters
So far from shore

It’s hard, searching inside
Not seeing the glimmer
Of a flame that has died

Fate had its way
Life steered the course
As I floated the waters
Of fear and remorse

Peering through darkness
Hoping to see
Just a glimmer of light
A beacon for me

Guiding me safely to the shore
Of the piece and serenity
I’ve searched for before

But once again
Fate grabs my hand
And pulls me out

Rhymes have their reasons
Time has its place
All anguish bestowed
On a soul’s fall from grace

At the darkest of dark
When the clock chimes midnight
The fears of the wretched
Fuel the devil’s delight

Each click of the clock
Greatens a freighting despair
Tick after tock
Twelve o’clock

Is almost there
unnamed May 2017
Reminiscences I hold
Of my little girl
Love unconditional
Her eyes could unfurl

The unforeseen can happen
Before given thought
Harsh words once spoken
No forgiveness be brought

Time oh time
A pain that won’t end
All I want back
Is my little best friend
unnamed May 2017
As I stroll along
A cobblestone path
A sight to behold indeed

Rows of flowers
Adorn each side
Embrace such beauty to be

My fondest one
That I most gaze upon
Is the one angels call Lilly
