Knights Of The Dammed

    Twelve were sent out of the Kingdom
On a quest to slay the last Dragon
They’re journey has just begun
As forces of evil make the sky blacken

In the wilderness they encounter pale
Hairless large creatures of the Devil’s spawn
So many in number that they could
Fill the vast prairie of Saskatchewan

The battle was long and exhausting
But the lives lost were surprisingly only four
They had to continue on with only
Eight remaining as the core

The next few days were uneventful
And they all got a great needed rest
But little did they know that they were to
face another challenge before the final test

As the Sun was setting on the fifth day
Dusk  revealed colors of purple and red
They also quickly noticed that they
We’re surrounded by the walking dead

Five more lost their lives and now
They must face the Dragon with only three
They were now at the edge of a desert
As they prayed beneath a Joshua tree

The Dragon came with nowhere to hide
They fought with heart and soul
And two survived as the Dragon was slayed
They were worthy of the extol

They arrived back to the kingdom victorious
Every challenge they were able to withstand
A new Army would be formed, trained by
The legendary Knights of the dammed

The Death Of A My Bracket

   It’s tournament time again
My brackets are in
I’ve got my fingers crossed
Praying for my teams to win

The first and second round was a flurry
Of underdogs fighting to stay in the chase
When the madness was over
Surprisingly I was in first place

I originally had four brackets in and tonight
Drastically by the smallest margin in score
Three of my brackets bit the dust
And they don’t exist anymore

I’ve got one still hanging on and for the
Money I’m depending on its survival
And it’s killing me because I am forced to
Root for TTUN, The Ohio State Rival

But if I am to win it all I’ve got to root
For a team called Gonzaga
Can anyone feel my pain and
Can you understand my saga

Every year It drives me insane
They come and put me in a straitjacket
Because one minute I’m in first place
The next I witness the death of my bracket

Saturn And Her Rings

   Like a Monster truck
And its suspension springs
Like a morning bird
And the song that it sings

Like a carnival duck shoot
Is synonymous with its pings
Like a Marionette
And its strings

Like an Angel
And its wings
Like Egypt and
All of her Kings

You and I go together
Like all of these things
Forever in Space and time
Like Saturn and her rings

Jesus Christ

   Unconditional love is the gift
Eternal life is the promise
Accept the gift and forever
You can embrace the calmness

One creator our God
One race is the human race
The truth we all know but refuse
To come face to face

One blood we all bleed
The color is red
Listen with your heart
And not with your head

There’s just one problem
And the problem is sin
But we don’t have to lose
When there’s a way to win

There was an answer when
He offered himself to be sacrificed
There’s just one solution
And it’s Jesus Christ

Save Me From You

    I was happy go lucky
I was wild and free
I didn’t want anyone
Getting their hooks into me

I’ve seen too many friends
Take a bite of loves cake
But I was determined to
Not make that same mistake

I was minding my own business
Living my life on the fly
And in a smoke filled bar, I caught
A glimpse of you out of the corner of my eye

You walked over and whispered in my ear
You said you were here to save me
I told you that I was fragile and
I was fine with being so free

You began to walk away and I felt
My heart heart beating like Hell
I called you back without thinking
Like I was under some kind of spell

I gave you my heart and I lost myself
I was powerless to your witchery
I became a slave to your every whim
Forever chained to you my Miss Misery

You said you loved me but this isn’t
Love, if I’m to be forever blue
You said you were here to save me
So why didn’t you save me from you

Love Is A Villain

    When I was a young man
Love was a scary thing
I listened to the rock stars
And the lyrics they would sing

So I would heed the warning
Whenever love had me in its sights
KISS Love is a slap in the face, Nazareth
Love hurts,Def Leppard, Love bites

So needless to say, when it came to love
My heart rejected made me a skeptic
I always felt that love was a fairytale
Love was something synthetic

But against everything, I trusted love
I feel for you hard and fast
I told myself that this time I
Found a true love, one that will last

In my heart I truly felt love and I thought
You were the one in a million
But you were what they warned and
Proved that love is a Villain

Always A Thorn

   Oh how I long for the Sunshine
To be in the warmth of love forevermore
To walk along a sandy beach
As the waves gently caress the shore

To be in the embrace of love and to have
That overwhelming feeling of loves bliss
To share that oneness with someone and
To know the meaning of an enchanted kiss

Oh how I long to miss someone
Even just for the day
And to know that they are
Missing me, in the same way

But love isn’t meant for me
Under the clouds I will forever dwell
I’ll spend my time locked in a chase for love
As if I’m under some witches spell

And forever in my search for love
It’s the rose that I adorn
But when it comes to love
For me it’s always a thorn
