Dancing in the Sunshine
Ooo ooo, awh, ooo, ooo, awh
I wish to dance in the sunshine,
Come and dance with me in the shine,
Let us dance while the sky is bright,
Come close to...

Soul of a childMy twin was delusional, he thought he was a star
He told me people recognized him, near and far
Strangers gave him thumbs up, pretty women smiled
Within him they saw the soul of a child.
I said "Jerry, no offense, you are poor at conversation
People yawn, go away, for the dialog duration
You lack warmth, enthusiasm, any vital spark
You're...

Shiver Shake Not : Song
pretty or slippery are not my names
no time for docile dolly games
peaceful presence my authenticity aims
ascension not something timidly tame
Chorus : shiver shake not, I have nothing to hide
flowing with life’s lovely tide
if you cannot bear scars and shadows
go elsewhere to see what flavour marrows
sure I hold open portal doors
when lightning...

Lingering
I saw you across the room
and I knew I shouldn't stay
But you walked up to me and said,
"How've you been?" I couldn't walk away.
I can't find the right words to say.
You etched the scars inside of me
Can't risk opening the wounds again
but from loving you, I'll never be free
The look in your...

Damaged Love
[Stanza 1]
Suddenly, the clouds above become gray,
Like a sudden sharp knife, the words you say.
My heart used to beat so strong, pure, and true,
Now lies destroyed under the sky so blue;
[Stanza 2]
My spirit just bleeds from a wound so deep,
This silent loss makes my soul read and weep;
I look for hints of reason I can...

My Song RevisionOriginal song: Jubilee Song by Jamie Rivera
It's a time of joy, a time of peace
A time when hearts are then set free
A time to heal the wounds of division
It's a time of grace, a time of hope
A time of sharing the gifts we have
A time to build the world that is one
Revised lyrics: Jubilee Song...

Sweet VenomI trace every move you make,
I trace every note you breathe.
But you're a Mozart in disguise
How could I ever compete?
Blind with tears and rage,
I compared myself to what seemed bulletproof,
All while my doubts built up inside,
Forming an invisible bruise.
I tried to be more like you
Though I knew it was no use.
I swallowed all your words,
Like...

This is My StoryMy life has ups and downs
Sometimes happy, sad, and angry
But in the end will have forgiveness
As we are all made by Father in Heaven
This is my story, this is my life
A person who is silent
But will be here by your side
To give the best of mine...

Will She Be ThereCan I take your ear and tell you what I’m doing here
And will you stay to hear me through… as I relate my tale to you
All the people sleeping here are free forever of all fear
For one, I’ve left a red rose which I water with a tear
So look around at all the plots at...

Ruled by Trees
I beheld the quaking aspen, shaking and gold
I quaked in resonance with the breeze
If you're young inside, you never get cold
Its recriminations that make your spirit freeze
I wept beneath the weeping willow
It felt like the right place to cry
Under its cascades I found a pillow
Had a sad feeling, didn't know why.
When autumn colored I found...

YOU HAVE MY HEART-Beloved my dearest
I Vibe for you
Will you have my heart
It's hard I have in part
I share my heart
But only you,
You're the one who has chosen me
So will you have my heart
Honey as sweet as you are
You are never to far
I'll walk thousands of miles to you
Just to embrace...

The Atom Cries in SilenceBeneath the crust of Saturn's breath,
Where silence swells and swallows death,
A single proton-left alone-
Whispers truths to shards of bone.
They built a star inside a cage,
Lit it young, then cursed with age,
It pulsed in hearts, then burned them black,
And begged the cosmos: “Take it back.”
A child once dreamt of breaking light,
Of feeding dark with pure insight,
But...

On My Way Home - I'm All Alone!
The road was rough, the path well-worn,
My boots were dusted in what we mourn.
I walked by the field we used to know,
Where dreams were born, but failed to grow.
A window glows behind a hill,
A face I loved, maybe there still.
But time's moved on, and so have we,
After we fought - I lost the...
