A blanket of white
caresses the night
the tree gently a glow
lights softly dancing
on shimmering snow

The winter wind whistles
a sweet melody
as children lay down
to unleash their dreams

The snowman he smiles
the angels they wink
Heaven on earth
Just feel it , don't think

The magic is flowing
through every living soul
connecting the young
with the spirits of old

Embrace it
take it in , let it all come back
bring back the innocence
that as adults we all lack

Show your love
wear your heart on your sleeve
Forgive those who hurt you
Open your heart to believe
Your soul will do the rest
Hear the calling .....pass the test.

I dream of true love
the kind that always last
I wonder why I was not chosen
Why my youth left me so fast?

Am I destined to be an old maid?
Living without love
Destined to cover the graves
while my loved ones live golden above

Do I really even exist?
Have I ever existed at all?
Or, am I just someone's nightmare
An infestation?
The devil's fare?
An embodiment of nothingness?
The bad end of a double dare?

I hope I wake up soon
I have to find away
to chase away the darkness
to rainbow up my gray
I can not live in sorrow
I can not dwell in pain
I can not wait for sunshine
while I'm drowning in my rain

I finally feel the warmth
the unconditional love
the happiness inside me
that I've been dreaming of
Thank God I didn't give up
Thank God I stuck it through
I  asked him for a sign
Thankfully he sent me two...

I lay here in these shambles
an arm's reach from the door
laying in the jagged pieces of my heart
broken stained glass upon the floor

reflections of red speckles
shimmer on the wall
and I breathe a darken breath
as I grasp the taken fall

I wait for the darkness to come
to hide this shattered heart
to take away the dancing red
for night to play it's part

And if you come back
by morning's light
to perhaps repent

You will find not a trace of me
no lovely moments spent

Nor will you find my shattered heart
none of the pain that you had sent

But, if you are so foolish
to find your way here at night
I will be waiting for you
With a venomous bite

I will take away your sun
Take that beaconing light
I will steal your heartbeat
and replace it with insight

The darkness it would like you
embracing that shallow heart.....

Take a leap of faith with me
dream a dream that's not ment to be
perhaps some magic will make it come true

Believe in things unseen
In voices unheard
Believe in a stranger
In powers unknown

Take a ride on my magic carpet
drink this drink that will make you shrink
eat a mushroom to make you larger than life
Open your eyes to the other side of the knife

Fear not the relms that this world holds
there are depths still untold
stories to be written
dreams to create
grasp your fear
and free your fate

Perhaps I am crazy
bordering insane
but I feel it on the wind
I hear it in your name
You were ment for so much more
such a magnificent mind to explore

Take my hand
don't be afraid
Let's leave together
we will find the way

The universe is calling
can you hear its voice
It;s telling us to come now
telling us we have a choice

We can be cattle
branded with our humanity
or we can be comets
burning through the galaxy

The choice is yours
I leave in your hands
If you chose not to come
I will understand
I will burn a sign for you
In night's darkness
I will write your name
among the stars
like I always promised.....

I wake today to the darkest morning
Up before the lazy sun
Sipping coffee, my mind still hazy
Softly arising from the state of dreaming

I am pondering,
wondering
engaging into life
stabbing at reality
with my sharp mental knife

I think to myself if given one gift
what would I want?
Well I tell you it's this.....

I would wish for
A life of peace
A world of hope
A dream to release
A vision to take flight
And a ribbon of love
to wrap it up tight

I would wish that this gift you see
be for everyone to receive
A little present of harmony
That's the gift of my wildest dreams
That's the present we all need it seems.

Thankful.....

I am thankful for the friends I have
few...but good and true

I am thankful for earthly angels
In my life I have two

I am thankful for a family
so close yet far away
For they love me unconditionally
even when I go a stray

I am thankful for the soul
that I possess
and when I see true human
tenderness

I am thankful for this heart and mind
and the ability to leave the darkness behind

I am thankful....

thankful to be free

I am thankful...

thankful to be me

It happened one day
and it happened this way
The space in time
where a dream and a rhyme
They some how combined
Blending and flowing
sparking and glowing
creating  a creature
with mystical features
With the ability to rhyme
to tell a story and keep in time
to see the world with kaldoscope eyes
To tell of it's secrets and darkest of lies
To speak softly of the sweeter  things
The flow of the trees , and the bird as it sings
A breed that blended among the others
For they too could be fathers and mothers
Brought here to enlighten the earth
This is the story of the poet's birth.....
