I can not bring it back
I can not let it go
I can not make it leave the depth of my soul
In the darkness I must go
I have to go on
I have to breathe today
I have to think it doesn't matter anyway
Whispers from the shadows lie
I could speak it today
I could say it happened that way
I could just the same as I did that day
Lend my body lie that way
I wouldn't let you slip through
I wouldn't dream it true
I couldn't let the damage stain
Whispers from the shadows ask
Could you?

GI Joe is coming home

Little boy plays war at home
Little boy grows up unaware

Young man plays the games
Sends the girls hearts a flame

College calls they like his game
Says the future could go his way

Uncle Sam Says NO WAY!
I got another game to play
Do for your country what it asks
March to the military Taps.

Young man sees some things
Wishes for his long gone dreams
Can't make sense of this game
Wonders if he'll walk away

When all cannot be seen
And life seems done
the sky is at a constant
And the ground seeks a place to hide
When the air that gives breath
Finds no home
the birds have no song
And the swallows are gone
When the space between here and then
Has all but disappeared
the questions are confused
nothing is clear
What will you need to ask of me
To give you back your air to breathe
What will the desire be
To keep your presence near me
What shall I call upon
Heaven or Hell?
What constant will be my guide
until I can make it all well?
Were shall the light come from
that will lift the spirit up?
When shall the trumpets blow

And the Angels cried
Dark and stormy night not a star in sight,
Wind whipping to and fro cold and wet no place to go.
Noises coming from the dark shelter none that roams tonight.
By and by the child cries on the dark and stormy night.
Sixteen is oh so young to be so numb.
All is not well on the wake of the storm.
What could cause a pain so great?
What could help the storm equate?
The earth will not crumble or disappear at the sound of her tears.
She hopes the sky would open up to make it right,
To take her pain away tonight
Upon the brink of every storm one may look up to the warmth.
But in the horrors of the night there is no warmth in sight.

The soldier sang the saddest song.
He sang the song all night long.
He could not share the song
Till he knew his life was gone.
Then the soldier cried his tears,
While he shared his greatest fears.
I couldn't help but weep for him.
As he sang and I too saw,
I too learned the soldier song.
Now I sing it all night long
As I search for hope abound,
Seems not fair to look around
To pass along the soldier song.
Nothing gained nothing found,
Another one is on the ground
Learning now the soldier song!
Soon he too will travel on searching long
For another to hear his song,
Sad, Sad soldiers song
Singing it all night long.
I went to camp today, I went away to play
Mommy said it was the way, to grow today
I learned to run, play crafts and things
We hiked and biked, and swam all day
I went to camp to learn to play
I can't wait to come back another day.
Today I graduated high school, valedictorian
Mom said that's the way, to learn today
I worked hard to get this way I gave up a lot of play
That's what mom said would bring me to this day
I met the one I love today; she said she felt the same
Mom said this is the way to begin the day
So we planned to make a day and say it to the world
The day I met the one I love, who said she loved me too.
I went a
The Kiss you gave was all I needed
From the start I believed it
All the breath I could need
was in the air surrounding you
causing my world to be
I can only gasp at the thought
trying to comprehend all we have
trying hard to love thee to the end.
Can you ever forgive me
for believing in the disease
Life could not pull me away
from all that had to be
to truly get me back to your side.
You believed so much more than me
I simply couldn't see, past the storm
I cried the tears of a rivers end
I cried so hard I was blinded
but you saw through the flood
You held strong to the love
that held us together
As we walk through this
Everybody wants to go to revival
they all want to praise the lord
everybody wants to tell you
the way to behave
Everybody wants to sing
Hallelujah
they all have the answers
they got when they prayed
They all say its the end-time
its coming our way
they all say he said
sinners will pay
Everybody wants to say
heaven will be great
in the arms of an angel
is were they want to be
They all want to believe
the end time is here
but when its their time
nobody wants to let go
The angels sang
Hallelujah
they rejoiced in him
Jesus said
You will know them but
you will never know the end
Soft is the white flowing like silk
From her body small and fair
Golden threads spun through her hair
Angelic are the eyes that stare a
Loving sympathetic looming glair
Soothing comfort from her touch
Beckons all to succumb
Lips drowning in red wine
Lust after a stolen Kiss
Skin glowing in the moons light
Under a sea of empty space
Looking high in full embrace
Pulling towards the stars
Trying hard to leave.....
All that's left......... behind
Brightly lights shine on the ends in time slowly un-raveling from poor
design
Empty is the place were once life lay in such a peaceful way
Echoes of little noises heard as the darkened melody plays
Sometimes it is easy, responding to the pain within the minds eye
Branches swaying in the yard, blue skies covering times of great
wonder
Long gone, infected with feelings, sadness radiates from there
Till the light shines again on enchanting love
You will have to pardon my absence
I have sadly forgotten that diamonds rock, but
Playing the game, dampness seeps in-- stale, hard like leftover
fruitcake
Bleeding emotions mix, like bran
It could have been different,
I felt it all along
From the get it seemed wrong.
I couldn't think of where it was
I truly belonged
But where I was, I knew felt wrong
I dreamt of the life that I wished was mine
I wished for the life I was meant for
Color me Elusive I too longed to forget
For to reminisce was to accept
To long for resolve would mean to regret
Lost is the darkness in the light
Dampness sleeps in the bleeding emotions
mix
The winds carry me while responding to the
pain
Blue skies covering shredded ends in time
I watched his soul escaping quietly over
words of thought
As the grey lakes reflected beauty from a
beginning time
Brightly lights shine over leftover fruitcake
As I cry for a Christmas lost
Diamonds rock while laughter rings in the
mix
The nights are long when no one cares
Lonely hearts cry their tears
Fortunes made, fortunes lost
Wars caused, countries crushed
All forget from were they came
Those who fail to borrow from the past
Fail to learn from all that was lost
Destiny brings on the shame
Rerouting the pain for yet another day

Each and every day
To get you through
Each and every way
Remember the good times

Each moment belongs to you

I found the sanctuary of my mind was a bust
I built a greenhouse to a create a new one
I found the work to be so trying I quit
I sold my plants and bought a bottle of wine
And crawled back in to the sanctuary of my mind
Give credence to the One
Let the love you hold be firm
Try not to hide behind your lies
The sun will not dare fight for you
The brother light shines true
Yet it will take what it chooses
Without warning without care
It will give no explanation
For your tears
When my heart stops beating
It will take the stars above
To gather trust for remaining loves
To bring in peace where there is none
To fight the pain of love undone
I would not presume
To take lightly the thought of you
When my heart stops beating
I promise dear my love will hold true
I awakened to find you in my life
I wanted more but chose to wait
The winds carry me
Through words of thought
I loved for such a time it seemed lost
A beginning time needs little thought
For love is lost and ends in time
Brightly lights shine
In the eve of summers love

Cold Is The Tear
It is December now
the warmth will come soon
the snow is full and covered
with all my fears
Two more months
till its time to go
I'm ok sometimes I think I could cry
But then I think of happier times
We need the change
I know its true
Spring in a new place
giving way for a new race
laying all the old down
Nothing really left for us here
Just waiting for the spring
To wash away my fears
and bring us both better years
Slipping. Sliding.
Running in the dark.
Tripping. Falling.
Fear in your heart.
The knife cuts deep
the wound burns hot.
Blood flowing from
an open cut.
Screams in the night
tears in your eyes
moon shining bright
no will to fight
Your life slips out
the hunter won
your mind goes dim
your sould undone.
His teeth bite in
he starts to sip.
A light shines
bright. You start
to fade.
The dark comes back.
Your pain returns.
The taste of blood.
Your monster yearns.
A hunger flares.
The night returns.
Eternity lasts forever.
Basking in eternal night.
Two demons dream.
The sun and moon
the stars and sea.
I dream of you
you dream of me.
The light shines down
and fills one heart.
The dark consumes
the other.
Basking in eternal night.
Two demons dream.
One gazes down
on platinum fields
One swims in
frozen seas.
The warmth of cold
the heat of ice
Basking in eternal night
Two demons dream.
Sinking below the ink.
The depths of the sea pull me below.
The pressure holds my body.
Air is squeezing through my lungs.
The salt burns my eyes.
The fish play with my hair,
it flows in the current, in the waves.
The sun was shining,
filtering down into the salty depths.
Darkness surrounds me, sands shift
as I settle on the ocean floor.
My breath escapes
light goes dim.
Peace at last
my home
