I soar on eagles wings
Watching humanity implode

I glide over what were happy streets
But now see fear and suspicion on every upturned face

Children now escorted by parents
Even schools and churches no longer safe havens

My journey takes me further
Out over bloodstained sand and rock
To places where religion fights religion
In the name of religion

I am raptor, a winged killer on the wind
But I **** to feed my family
I **** only to survive

But humanity has taken the road
That only leads to death
I soar above on eagles wings
Watching humanity implode

After the guns fell silent
After the wounds have healed

(The opening words from a song)

The wounds in their flesh heal
But the wounds in their minds
Remain for eternity

Why do they do it? Answer the call
Whenever their countries have need
It's not politicians who answer the call
It not politicians who bleed
No, it's the boys and girls from their countries so fair
Who die in the name of liberty
Eight thousand miles away from home
To keep another country free

I walk away from the city stress
To stroll on the golden strand
No more the worries of 9 to 5
Just my footprints in the sand

I sit now on a rocky point
Above the raging sea
Face battered by the wind and rain
But it's here I love to be

I've now left the drama of rocks and sand
Left the rolling white capped waves
I sit now beneath filtered sunlight
In this songbird sunlit glade

In my hands the quill and parchment
By my side the cup of ink
Now is the time for the words to flow
Now my time to sit and think

''Tis now my time, my time of peace
To sit alone with just my thoughts
The time to leave all stress behind
To sit and pen my thoughts

Just living

A strip of barren land
Stark, forbidding
But I sat there and watched a flower grow
Bringing a bright splash of colour
To this dead land
Bringing a bright splash of hope
To a world sinking into the darkness

A dream I have
.. to be closer to u

to wake up ...
and find u in my arms

... and make out

If my circle of love
Is not in sync

I will skip a beat
to get out of my lync
and into yours

.. slowing down my time
to stay intertwined
Sync love dream

By noon... the sun was shining hot
putting out an additional flare

I started to take off my shirt
and sat on a wooden chair

You can feel the sun spike the earth
I was also running out of air

Being tired and quite exhausted
Like chasing after a hare

I stood and picked myself up
almost needed hospital care

Standing away waiting for her
for something to start the flare

I needed some kind of love message
or arms that do care

It takes sugar to be sweet
One look at her hair

I needed my sweet love now
or else I'm quite in despair

Each one has a favorite thing or two
a sweet thing about their pair

For me I like my love to be
where if I need her she is there!!

Otherwise what will happen to me
If I won't get my juice and pear

My heart will be in alert mode
till it runs on just thin air!

I want to be politically correct
  But the husband spoke and said
Why baby you said what you said

  She replied because you are
using your mouth
instead of your hands
If you know what I mean

Start to clean .. Do the carpet
Do the bathroom ..
Good man .. You are my hero

Nice ... how did u do that fast !!
Bravo.. Oh baby .. You are ****!!
