Nightly Fate

Nightly Fate


Setting sun comes with a fiery glow
Faster faster the horizon darkens slow
How the pain grows as light fades to go

Shades of blue, a line across the sky
Turns darkest at a point most high
Where evil lurks in wait to fly

The hour comes, howls through the air
White knuckle fisting, gloom and glare
Sending shivers, echoes tingling hair

Blowing wind, buzzing the ears
The demon within appears
A tornado, shadows, spinning fears

Ghostly white, dressed in black
Hooded and cloaked front to back
Leading an army of ghouls on attack

Call the Father, Son and Spirit to dance
The good and meek do not have a chance
Without sword, shield and lance

Pulling and groping, sinking down
Hands like branches, vines up from the ground
Pinned and crushing, lungs begin to drown

The anxiety flares, it starts to boil
The ache inside strained from toil
Left vs Right like vinegar and oil

A battle that thrives in the heat of night
Sleepless, left weak, pray to see the light
East beyond peaks, breaches with delight

Songs sung by birds awakening call
Lifting souls from a beaten fall
To honour a new days rise for all

The demon within retreats in wait
For the sun to set behind heavens gate
And unleash the horrors nightly fate

Come Dance With Me

Come Dance With Me


How bittersweet the journey has, travelled long, highs, lows
Lured by dimpled smiles, dreamy, steamy, sexy eyes
Fell in love a thousand times, every one hit a beat in rhymes
Held captive to a broken heart, fades to a hardened scar…

Come dance with me, soothe our souls
Could you, would you, find the time to roll
Blaze the herb of peace and tranquility
Take a chance on a night filled sensuality
Come dance with me, flesh to flesh
Feel the heat, warm our skin flush
Side to side, swaying with the breeze
All alone, no one watching, now breathe
Come dance with me, open wide
Make every step a silky glide
Taste what we feel, touch back every touch
A lifetime flashed, make every second count
Come dance with me, to the very end
Lay down slow from a spinning pirouette
Beautiful swan drunk and charmed
Faerie tale dreams in a princes’ arms

No One Left Out

No One Left Out


Always looking back
Could it be home or just another trap
So many stops along the way
Coast to coast in a flowing sway
Seasons come and go, the hardest
When leaves fall through the air bringing sadness

Watching time go by, think
The wonders missed, so don’t blink
Leaving on a… jet plane
Blazen off a sweet maryjane
City sounds all around
Feel the vibe come up from the ground
Lonely stranger in a new town
Fearless street walker with a frown
Bumming cigarettes and coins
Cons on the prowl, hookers grabbing loins

Patios die when chairs stacked high
No one buys when there’s no 9 to 5
Money breeds from money in hand
Share the wealth from corporate-land
Revive the dignity of humanity
Save the earth from imminent catastrophe
Change the laws to equal all
Stop these wars that yield but a fall

The story of Adam and Eve is just a story
It was meant to portray Eden, a gift of glory
To be a decent human being
Embracing the possibility of being
Man, woman and creatures throughout
Heaven could be earth, if no one left out

Above La Lunas’ Glow

Above La Luna’s Glow


Above la Luna’s glow
Eyes cast beyond stars
Darkness consumes
All, of a lonesome heart
Wingless blackbird
Stranded on earth
Rooted to ground
Misery found

Above la Luna’s glow
A beacon pulls
Connecting soul and mind
Sucking the energy dry
Eyes shaded black like coal
But shines with a glow
Bright as the moon
An onyx one

Above la Luna’s glow
Waits, a far away home
Ferryman journeys
Collecting passengers
Scarred with the mark
A ticket to ride
Galaxy’s past
Light years away

Above la Luna’s glow
Fades in, new dawn
Witness, the rising sun
Still, planet earth
Counting the minutes
Ticking and tocks
Passing of time
Lost, lost, still lost

Above la Luna’s glow
Returns the yearning pull
Glides the razors edge
A mark left by a previous scar
The ferryman nods
Opens the door
Taking a soul
To a world unknown

Above la Luna’s glow
One will never know
What lies beyond the known
In death, dreams may come true
To close the eyes
For the very last time
A silence grows
As the final breath blows

Incense and Spice

Incense and Spice


He spoke of love and commitment
He spoke of loyalty and fidelity
Teaching the rules for a successful life
To live in peace and happiness
He proved His word
He made the blind see
Especially those with sight
He made a cripple walk
It inspired others to run
He cured the sick living in caves
Reuniting families the loss of touch
He fed empty bellies with a loaf of bread
And a basket of fish never ending
He brought back the life of a man dead
To show the true power of His might
Love each other all the same
Be a decent human being
If you can, help!
It’s a simple way of living
Without doubt and jealousy
He sent Himself as His Own Son
To guide us back to paradise
Perfumed in incense and spice
