For a time I disliked change,
For a change I disliked time,
For a time, change disliked I,

We fear what we don't understand,
Ask those in power,
We fear they don't understand,
Abuse of power.

Goodnight, I will be up past midnight
jot a few words down, in the dim light,
hoping the ideas are light and bright,
in a story where time stands still until...

a son is found by his mother,
they are reunited with a sister and brother,
a daughter and son, and together,
they look for their father, husband and king,
while they save the known world, from disastrous
calamity...
don't believe it,
that is why, they call it fantasy...adventure

oh remember to set your clocks back this weekend,
and that will give me an extra hour of time
for typing, while you all do what you do when
you stay up late and sleep in, too.  


Time for a change

I need a dose of love
No cheap ****
I need the real stuff
Got expensive taste
Hoping you can pay
For a heart like mine
I'm worth too much
I need a true kind
Of fuel to keep me alive
I don't trust tainted words
I only believe in real hearts
No, keep your hands off
I am not a cheap ticket
I don't strut my stuff
For a lover until I feel like it
If I feel like you appreciate
Me as well as my heart

Headaches, again
Time for another desperate attempt to suppress the need
Block out the noise, drink more water
You are full.

Itching, under my skin
One piece won’t hurt, right?
One leads to many, drink more water
You are content

Jitters, distracted
The sweet aromas surround me, as if they can satisfy
Then I hear the soft grumble, drink more water
You are determined

Smoke, filling my mind
Replacing all that’s been lost in this fight
Another cigarette, drink more *****
You are forgetting

Concentrate, use your tongue
Pleasing him has become more important than bread
A little longer, drink more water
You are empty

Bliss, almost free
I feel like a kite that’s been let loose on a windy day
Eat everything in sight, drink a coke!
You are guilty

Shameful, but act happy
Holding his hand, no thanks, I ate already
Change the topic, drink more water
You are hiding

Pressure, stubborn
He knows my lies, pushing some carrots my way
Chew nervously, drink more water
You are weary

Laughing, releasing
No dessert in this world could compare to how he makes me feel
Bring me closer, drink me in
I am full.

When I think about our relationship, in the grand scheme of things. Is it defined by the protestations of love? The exchanging of rings? Or is it the honest expectations of our hearts, the ache we feel while we are apart? Our hearts are bound together in some wonderful way, no need for words, or a ballad to say. I am not going to spout our differences, but simply state there is a consensus. Our love was ordained from the very beginning. I will be yours, and there will be no regretting. Although all love requires maintaining, part of me will always be here remaining. God designed you to be my Rain, he allowed me to be your man. And my life will never be the same. It was all a part of his plan. I feel so lucky that we got to meet, I never knew a girl so sweet. The kind that will hold me when I'm down, and cry with me when I can't make a sound. That will sigh once safe within my arms, And feel that she is safe from harm. My girl is cute and funny to me. I love her intelligence and her vocabulary. I wish she could see her as I do, and love the girl and the woman too. Her cares and wants are my dream to meet. With her pleasure comes mine too, no easy feat. Her every inch a work of art, I love this girl with all my heart. And someday hope you to be my bride, You will never again be pushed aside. But this seeming dream is not a hoax, I really do love your charm and our little jokes. I can be so comfortable around you, because I know you reciprocate my love and my affection too. I have found a reason for all that I do. And the reason is you. I want you, I need you and I will always love you....

I must not gaze at them although
Your eyes are dawning day;
I must not watch you as you go
Your sun-illumined way;

I hear but I must never heed
The fascinating note,
Which, fluting like a river reed,
Comes from your trembing throat;

I must not see upon your face
Love's softly glowing spark;
For there's the barrier of race,
You're fair and I am dark.
