Balcony of the moon

 

Sleep upon the balcony of the moon 

The blanket of the stars wrapped around you

Your pillow made from a cloud

As you sleep

As you dream

Be at peace

Be at one with Yourself and the universe 

Be happy

Sweet dreams

Beauty of the world

 The world is a beautiful place

Full of wonder 

Ful of grace

Splendor and majesty 

Like the mountains high

Or the Valles low

The depth of the ocean

The sun and the moon

The stars in heaven twinkle in the might sky

Campfires blaze

The woods alive with campers and wildlife

National parks

State parks

All show off Nature's beautiful

Alone

 

How I loved her and still do

But I was young and stupid

She showed her love

I showed mine

I thought all was fine

Somewhere I missed something 

I buried myself in my work

I loved her

She knew that

But in trying to build a life for us

I failed to build a life with us

As time went on

We grew further apart

Though we still loved each other in our hearts

Something had changed

Somewhere down the line

I think you stopped liking each other 

When one day she told me she was leaving

It was no surprise 

She left

Now I am alone

Musical chase

 

Stuck between two musical notes

Helping to keep the beat

I sence  that I am unwanted here

For my fellow notes

Keep chasing me down the line

If I drop to a lower line

Or climb to a higher one

They follow me and chase me even more

However I soon learn

The chasing holds a purpose 

For when the chase is done

And we assembled back on the righting

Between the notes

I take a look around

And notice the whole page

Had been filled where we were

Musical notes were planted 

A Musical performance was born

Love

 

Rise in the morning 

Breakfast in bed

For my sweet

My love 

Love

You

Peace to

My heart

You bring me

Hope I bring peace

To you as well love

Lost

 

Ran away

Run away

Ran even more

Hurting

Abused

Emotionally torn

Physical scars

Tears rush down his face

He had to get out

Out of that place

Away from those thar were supposed to love him

Turns out all they wanted was to play games

The kind now loving parent or sibling should play

If you refused to play you were beat

And beat bad

Blood flowed

Tears poured out

The salt stings in your wounds

Still they beat you into submission 

Then when finished 

Left you in a bleeding heep on the floor

So, yes he Ran away

To start a new life

To get away

To survive 

Fairs

 

Fairs

Excitement and fun

Games, rides, and food

Fairs

Exhibits

contests

homemade crafts

Fairs

Music all round you from street performers and live bands

The magic of the sights that ignite the child within

The wonder of it all as you try to take it all in 

Tidal wave

 

Water rises

Water wants to drown me

However 

It shall not

The world rises

The world wants to destroy me

It shall not

I rise 

I fall

I get up again and move on

A tidal wave won't keep me down

Nor will the criticism of this world

The way it is

 

The war was hard

It destroyed it all

The few left in the world live on

Mostly Scavengers, hunters, or thrives 

Just trying to survive And rebuild 

As I wonder I stop and write

On notebooks or scraps of paper I find

Little notes, poems, or jokes

Those that remember life before the war

Travel from town to town

Spinning tales for those to hear

Though few we are

Some of us still remember 

Happy days

Groovy days

Before the collapse of it all

The economic downfall

Then the war

Every state for themselves

Then invading nations attack 

An already torn country 

Do we stop our fighting

To rally against a foreign foe

Not at all

So Each state was attacking ever other state

As well as the foreign invaders 

The fighting

The invading foreigners 

The economic downfall 

It all piled up

And destroyed everything 

Postwar 

Old life gone

Trying to hang on

As we adapt to the way it is

Lord

 There's a flame in my soul for you Lord 

There's a flame in my soul for you Lord 

There's aflame that burns bright

Making day out of night

There's a flame in my soul for you Lord

My hear beats to the rhythm of your grace 

My heart beats to the rhythm of your grace 

That rhythm is the song

That keeps me moving on

My heart beats to the rhythm of your grace

There's a way through the darkness of life

There's a way through the darkness of life

Lord show your light

Let it shine oh so bright

There's a way through the darkness of life

The Portal

Success the portal has opened 

New worlds

New realities to explore

Success the portal has opened 

Enter here

Be thousands of miles or light-years 

In a heartbeat 

The scientific discovery of a lifetime 

I made it work

The glory's all mine

Yet 

I have only tested it on dummies 

Not a live person 

Everything went fine in those tests

So despite my co-workers advice

I will test this portal myself 

The warning signs tell me not to go

But

I shall step through

Will I make it to the otherside 

Or will this human body fail ending my life

Only one way to find out

Off I go

 Casey Kasem

That unmistakable voice coming over the radio

Top 10

He let you know the number one hit of the week

The sound of his voice

Calming and smooth

Put you at ease 

While the music 

Put you in the mood

Dark angel

 

Dark angel 

Full of malice and spite 

Fallen from Heaven 

With its shores so bright 

Dark angel 

Trouble and turmoil 

Yet

Beauty you show

Dark angel 

You lure them in with your looks

Then snap the trap

To cause them to lose their soul

Clenching them into eternal damnation 

Eternally trapping them in Hell

Life's journey

 

Peace I wish for you

As you journey through life today 

Even if that journey grows rough

May you not stray 

Peace I wish for you

And with that joy

May you have a great day

Until the moon rises once more

Homework

 

It's late in the day

Dinner will be ready soon

My homework is still not done

From the time I get home from school 

I come straight to my room

Sit at my desk and my homework begun

I would like to go out and play

But my homework takes all the daylight 

Why must thEy send us home with so much to do

We only get so much time to ve a kid

We need to enjoy it while we can

However 

Home

Room

Hit the books until dinner time

Go down eat

Then back up and hit the books until bed

Society

 

Society how you have lied to so many 

Telling them to hate themselves

For one reason or another

Preying on the

Weak minded 

Self absorbed 

Ego driven

Or even the insecure 

Society with your  labeling

You do more damage than you know

A walk on the beach

 

Waves come in

Waves go out

As I walk the sandy shore

A seashell here

A crab there

Adventure to explore 

Miles and miles of shoreline 

Explore every inch

Never know what I'll find

Treasure to be found

On the beach

And all around

Flower tunnel

 

Walk through the flower tunnel 

Flowers

Vines

Everywhere 

Beauty of the growing garden 

Sweet scent in the air

Walk through the flower tunnel 

Be absolutely at peace

Let the world slip by

Just be at ease

Walk through the flower tunnel 

Sweetness 

Love

Care

Walk through the flower tunnel 

Peace is in the air

Forest Games

 

Deep in the forest

Where few humans dare to tread

There is a secret spot

Where the animals come out to play

Laughing and dancing

Having all kinds of fun

Playing forest games

Without the fear of a human's gun

Elves and Dwarves

Fairies and Sprites

Join in the fun

Lasting all day

And all night

Life's journey

 

Travel life's journey 

Travel it to the end

It will be worth it

Not all days will be sunny

There will be some rainy skies

Beyond life's struggle 

Is where the treasure lies

Sleep

 

Rest upon the balcony of the moon

Dream of peace and love

Wrap yourself with a blanket in the clouds

May the stars watch over you

As you Slumber my love

Route 66

 

Put the top down

Sunglasses on

Wind through your hair

The mother road calls

Got to answer 

Adventure out there

My friends and I drive

From Chicago to L.A.

On old route 66

Much history to see along the way

Fallen Angel

 

Fallen Angel 

Full of disgrace 

Alone

 

Darkness

Sadness

Depression takes flight

A little one alone

No one loves this poor little soul

No one cares

Ran away from home

Ran from domestic abuse 

Now

Captured by thugs

locked in a cell

Being

Physically molested 

Mentally molested 

Emotionally molested 

By the thugs

Books

 

Books

Books

Everywhere 

Overflowing bookshelves in the hall

Books piled high in the livingroom 

No place to sleep

Books have taken over there to

Don't open a window

They might spill out

I love Books if you can't tell

Kitchen full of Books

Dinningroom full of books

Even the bathroom 

Wnd the garage 

Cars must park in the drive

No place for them

Books

Books

Buy more books 

I say with a grin

Books stacked to the ceiling

Piled along the wall

Overflowing bookshelves

Books for one and all

Thick Books

Thin Books

Tiny Books

Or quite large

Books on every subject 

So take a look

Your interest isn't far

Color by number

 

Life's path

 

Let the dark clouds pass

Let the good times roll

As further on down life's path

You stroll

Goodnight

 

Sleep in comfort and peace

Dream of adventure in far off places

Sleep in tranquility

Peace out

Goodnight 

The knoght

 Off to battle

The captain said

Dragons to slay

Maidens to save

Battles to fight to conquer lands

Expand the kingdom 

Or at least that's the plan

Off to battle 

Some don't return

Raise a mug in their honor afterward

They bravely fought

Their skills put to the test

They gave the ultimate sacrifice 

May their souls find rest

Off to battle 

The king demands

Conquer the foe

Expand the land

Through blood, sweat, and dragon fire

Color by number
