Celestial goddess

 


Celestial goddess in the night

Walking the pathways of my dreaming 

Making sure all is good and right

Sending nightmares away screaming 


Celestial goddess of the night

Graceful and fair are you

Peace and love is so right

Your heart beats pure and true

Mr. Clean

 A long, long time ago

In a grocery store far away 

Lived a man named Mr. Clean 

With his scrubbing bubbles by his side

He would Clean the mess left behind 

By the customers of the day

Broken bottles and broken jars

Displays knocked down by wayward carts

Candy wrappers here and there

Whole displays knocked over without care

Mr. Clean would just look and stare

His scrubbing bubbles fly through the air

The cleaning start then and there

Just a days job for them

Tree of Life

 


Tree of life

Tree of flame

What wisdom do you impart

Upon me this day


Tree of life

Burn bright

Keep the darkness at bay

Guide me

Teach me

May your fire burn within me

Together

 


Together we walk through the field watching the sunset glow

Our bodies grow old over the years

Our kids have kids

Our kids have Grandkids

So at home it's just you and me

Prayer

 


Lord I come on bended knees

To ask of you pretty please

To fix the hearts that have gone wrong

Remove this world from the path it's on

I know everything according to your plan

But please Lord try and understand

We are only human with human minds

Stand Alone

 


I stand alone in an ocean of people

I don't fit in anywhere

I've tried to connect

But I keep getting pushed aside


An ocean of people

A flood of souls

Not one of them knows me

There seems no hope

Black Sheep

 


The black sheep of the flock

The one always breaking through the fence

The one always causing trouble

To much more of this

Off to the sale barn

and you can be someone else's problem

Ghost Riders

 


Legend has it two young boys went out for a ride

Along the way they lost their lives

How is up for debate

Some claim a wild animal attack

Some say Crazier things

But one thing is for sure

They disappeared 

and never seen from again


Their ghosts however ride the path

Every night they can be seen

Life's storms

 


Life has it's storms

Life wants to knock you down

Life wants to hold you back

Life wants to test your limits 


After the stor however

The wolf comes forth

To show this world who the real beast is

I Miss You

 



I miss you more and more each day

From the day we met

Till the day my life fades away

I shell never forget your love


Blessed

 


I am blessed 

I have good health 

Family who love me

Friends who like me for being me

Yes I am blessed


Yes, there are times when things get rough

Yes, there are times when things get tough

I take it all on

I come out string

I may get beat from time to time

But, that's life

Secret society

 


For hundreds of years 

They have flourished in the shadows

The one truly in control

The ones truly making the decisions

No one knows about the

But their influence is seen everyday

Enter the Light

 


The door stands open

Exit the darkness and turmoil 

Enter the glorious light


Life's Hourglass

 


The sand in the hourglass of your life are slipping away

Draining faster than you realize 

Live before it runs out

Get out and explore 

For once the sand runs out

Your life shall be no more

Don't yell

 


Don't yell at me

I know I have done wrong

Don't yell

I know I screwed up


I am sorry for what I did

I will do everything to set things right

No need to yell at me

I already feel bad enough


To continue yelling

Just sends me spiraling into darkness 

To continue yelling

Just makes me feel more worthless than I already do

Poetic Magic

 


A good poem is like a magic spell

Able to intrance you with its words

The rhythm 

The rhyme

All to entice you and draw you in

Old Love

 


Our love for each other grows stronger each day

Over the years both good and bad

Over the years both happy and sad

Yet through it all Love remained

Reading in peace

 


A Boy reads 

While the Rebel fight rages around him

So far him and his family have been left alone during the conflict 

But how long will that last

Before the Rebel fighters say they have to move on

Or worse

The government soldiers shoot them dead for helping the Rebellion 


His family isn't able to do much for them

But they have housed a few of the troops from time to time

The Rebels seek to bring peace

The Government just to continue their oppression 

May the Rebels win the fight

Speed Dial

 Son:  Dad, I feel a disturbance in the fork


Dad:  Son get the phone ready


From the kitchen they hear: I'm making veggie burgers,  who wants a couple


Dad:  Son, now you see why I have Pizza Hut on speed dial

Keep on Trucking

 


Keep on trucking

Moving that heavy load

Put the petal to the floor

The rubber on the road


Stores waiting for what you got

To help keep their supply in stock

Deliver your cargo 

One job done

Pick up another load

Chase down the sun

Country Evening

 


Later in the day

Just about evening time

The young ones play Frisbee 

The Elders just unwind

Meat in the pit

Baked beans in the croc

Then when the sun goes down

We'll watch some fireworks 

I will Rise Up


 

No matter what you say

No matter how you try to get in my way

No matter how many times you push me down

I will rise up


You can try your tricks and sin

You can try to destroy me from within

Spiritually I stand

To rise again


God is my King

Not this evil thing

So try your best to knock me down

I will rise up safe and sound

Someone in need


 

Give to those in need

It may be the only kindness they get that day


Bee

 


Bees make honey

Spring is here

The buzzing of these little creatures 

Hard at work

Together tonight

 


The moon is high

The stars are bright

A perfect night to be together 

Side by side

Fully in love

Sharing this time

The Flag

 


50 stars against a field of blue for the endless sky above

Red stripes for the blood shed to defend it

White stripes for freedom and all it stands for


Over the years

Wars could not bring it down

A country divided by a civil war could not harm it

Guns fired around it

Bombs explodes near it

People have died defending it

It still stands


Through

Rain

Sleet

High winds

And whatever Mother Nature wishes to send

Yet the flag still stands


People have spat upon it

Set it aflame 

Let it fall to the ground and stomped on it

Or ran it over with their vehicles

Yet the flag still stands


50 stars against a field of blue for the endless sky above

Red stripes for the blood shed to defend it

White stripes for freedom and all it stands for

My Child

 


The sound of your giggle music to my ears

Funny, laughing, happy boy

You have been such a joy in my life

From the day you were born

My spark

My light


Things haven't always been easy

There were days I wanted to cry

Like the day your daddy left us

Or the Grandpa died


You however have been my steadfast solid rock

My child

I love you more than you will ever understand

The future looms before us

What it will bring, I know not

But together we will face it 

Come what may

Good night

 


The day is over

Time to lay your head

Dream of lands far away

Dream of big adventures 


The stars shine bight

Wish upon a shooting star

In the moonlight 

Point of view

 


How you see me

Us not as important 

As hoe I see myself

Death

 


Crows and ravens

Ravens and crows

They gather around the dead

They feed on the flesh

The Hotel



Way up in the mountains

In the middle of nowhere

Is a hotel


Looks like a castle from the dark ages

They say ghosts of long dead royalty roam the halls

causing all sorts of mischief

Making doors open and close

Rattling chains

Making suits of armor walk

That's just a few things


Most of the stuff seen in this place

Would make your skin crawl and your hair turn white

Would make you throw up just by describing it

The details get pretty gruesome


Way up in the mountains

All alone

In the middle of nowhere

Is a hotel

Or

Hell

 

Peace

 Peace be above you

Peace be below you

Peace be on either side of you

Peace be within you
