Curse Of The Undine

    So beautiful she was a spirit of
The Water, a rarity to be seen
Some say she’s a myth
But some believe in the Undine

A water Nymph able to become a human
If she fell in love with a human male
But there’s a price to pay if he was
To cheat and cause their love to fail

According to legend the male cheater
Is forced to consciously stop breathing
He is to end his own life because of his
Betrayal and his will of deceiving

I’m not gonna speculate on the myth
Though sailors swear of their reality
I’ve got no proof or documentation
To Sway, be it legend or a fantasy

But if Ancient accounts are factual
Betraying such a creature isn’t so keen
Such an act of disloyalty one would
Succumb To The Curse Of The Undine

Undine pronounced (Uhn-Deen)

The Lost

     She was so young and so pretty
She was Daddy’s little girl
He told her she could be anything
A Ballerina, she loved to twirl

She loved clear summer nights
She spent them stareing at the Stars
Maybe she could be a female astronaut
And be the first to walk on Mars

She had so much potential and
She had so many dreams
But she fell in love with a guy
Making promises and working schemes

Nothing ever seemed to go her way
She was overwhelmed with her situation
All she ever wanted was to be happy
She began using artificial stimulation

She ultimately became addicted
And her heart and soul became the cost
She had so much life to be lived but now
She’s all but invisible and one of The Lost

Drop

       The orchard of Apple trees
Was once the best crop
The branches are bare now
There’s no Apples to pick or drop

Outside my window I see a Butterfly
In a flutter ballet and a Rabbit hop
In my emptiness is the sound of silence
You can hear a pin drop

There’s a pain so unbearable
My heart is breaking, no signs it will stop
In my overwhelming weakness
To my knees I am forced to drop

My mind is in chaos and in a
Whirlwind I am spinning like a top
The clouds have turned grey
The rain started to drop

My uncle Dean has passed away
I have seized in function I’ve closed shop
From my eyes uncontrollably
My tears begin to Drop

But Not You

   I was willing to sacrifice myself
With love and passion and vow to be true
I was all in with no lies or alibis
But not you

I told myself a thousand times
That I shouldn’t
But against all odds I did
But you couldn’t

You asked me to take a leap of faith
With hesitation I did it
Then for whatever reasons
You didn’t

Love for me is like Russian roulette
I took the gun and I held it tight
I pulled the trigger for you but
You killed it and said it wasn’t right

I poured out my heart and soul, my fear
My hopes and dreams in a pile of spew
I let myself be vulnerable
But Not You

The Way Of The City

     Dog eat dog it’s violence It’s chaos
It’s tears in the rain
The night never sleeps and the day
It only brings pain

Do unto you as done unto me
Come face to face with the realization
It’s nothing but a game
A pawn for a pawn in retaliation

Shots fired and a man is down, then
Innocence get caught in the line of fire
Nothing good comes from the madness
When Guns and drugs are the desire

When hate and anger is the Devil’s pleasure
It’s the reason for his endless reign
It’s the endless cycle of life and death
So senseless and so insane

God have mercy I pray, when I see it
I become overwhelmed with pity
It’s hard to just shake it off but
That’s just The Way Of The City

In Your Darkest Hour

   In Your Darkest Hour
When the Demons Come
There is no surrender
You must never succumb

In your Darkest Hour
You must stand tall and fight
You must always remember to
Stay focused on the light

In your Darkest Hour
Loudly sing your fight song
Never show signs of weakness
Keep yourself firm and strong

In your Darkest Hour
Remember Jesus and in him confide
His promise to you is that
He’ll always be by your side

He says call on me brother
And together your Demons we will devour
I will always be with you
In Your Darkest Hour

If I Could Write A Love Song

    If I could write a love song
I’d try to keep it short and sweet
But I’d have to mention
Just how we came to meet

If I could write a love song
I’d mention my still weak knees
I’d have to give credit to the Moon
And the nature of the birds and bees

If I could write a love song
I’d probably speak of Jupiter and Mars
I’d mention Venus, Saturn and really the
Universe and the magic of the Stars

If I could write a love song
I’d try to explain my inability to speak
I’d blame the power of your spell and I’d
Try to Describe your openness and mystique

If I could write a love song
I’d say how we’ve never fallen in defeat
I’m afraid the song would be never ending
And therefore never be complete

I couldn’t forget the Angels and Jesus
And how right came from wrong
A difficult task to say the least but
Only If I Could Write A Love Song
