Dream After Dreams

Dream After Dreams


The first time I saw her face I fell
Fell into a feeling that petrified
Petrified, holding me still
Still my heart pounded, the echo swelled
Swelled my head leaving me puzzled
Puzzled by this charge surging through
Through, every nerve now tingling limbs
Limbs, begin to twitch, urging steps
Steps, towards courage in this moment
Moment to speak, to greet, to meet
Meet, but for a second that would hold
Hold for an eternity if I didn’t say
Say, if I may, unless otherwise engaged
Engaged to decline, to dine, if you will
Will, this hearts beating wish to reset
Reset my night, in the company of you
You, caused me to stop
Stop she said, tilting her head, wide eyes
Eyes that dug deep into mine
Mine fell in a gaze, careful to hear
Hear, her voice as I crossed my fingers
Fingers clench, tearing at the seams
Seams of a pillow case, embracing a dream
Dream after dreams, a reoccurring dream

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

The End

The End


Yellow, a mellow fellow who just gets by
Green, connected to nature getting high
Blue, the ones afflicted with a daily fight
Orange, artists creating sounds and sight
Red, are the lovers loving madly tonight
Grey, on the fence, sways left and right
Death is a delight when it’s the end of a colourful life.

Missing are the blacks and whites
They are forever holding tight
Souls of many tugging to a rite
Angels sing of joys triumphant sight
Paradise awaits, cradled in gods spite
Judged by church and state to get inside
Catching the ones who deceit and lie when it’s the end of a bitter life.

Satan’s army, recruiting over time
Building a cavernous temple with shrine
An oath given to the devil drunk on wine
Soldiers dressed in a demons shine
All in black, sent to earth to dine
Burning feathers of wings to weak to fly
All in a battle over an animals hide when it’s the end of a tragic life.

If I, but have, one wish, before I die
That wish, would be, to love right
With all my heart, without respite
Held back for far too long in fright
To allow another, to touch inside
Let go of all the fears that need to ignite
For-with death, comes a comedy divine when it’s the end of a lonely life.
