In This Place

In the deepest realm where our naked subconscious abides
In the abyss where all thought, emotion and memories resides
In the dimension of emptiness, where our minds eye holds the key
In the void between time and space continuum, we may never see

In all worlds, all scenarios, all plots we can conceive 
In all hopes, all wishes, all achievements we can achieve 
In all dangers, all angst, all fears we can conjure in our mind
In all feelings, of love, lust, the multitude of feelings we find

In this place, where we all go to at some point in time
In this place, where all thoughts and emotions intertwine 
In this place, so vivid in our memory, now so hard to remember 
In this place, where our imagination becomes our truest inventor

In this place, that I do not recall 
In this place, that is no place at all
In this place, so real it may seem
In this place, is where I dream

Find Your Sanctuary

Find Your Sanctuary 

Be it a long sandy beach, the waves crashing upon shore
Or in a deep forest glen, the wonders of nature to explore
Perhaps a long babbling brook will ease your weary mind
Or a quiet country road to travel, leave everything behind

Maybe it is your home, your solemn place to retreat to
With all your loved ones surrounding you, in all you do
Or is it your dearest friend that takes you back in time
Or perhaps you find being alone, solitude so sublime 

Whatever it may be that eases your mortal soul
Transcends you to a better place, makes you whole
Reach out with your heart, find this person, place or thing
Find your own sanctuary and all the tranquility it brings

When the Angels Sing

When you can hear the angels sing

When you hear the crying of a new born child
When the birds perch upon the sill for awhile 
When a hand reaches out in a time of need
When nothing but love and tranquility supersede 

When of humanity learns to live in harmony and peace
When all of the anger, the hatred and violence decrease
When all of man and women kind find what they seek for
When of the world sings a certain harmony for all to adore


When gone is the ego that drives us all
When we reach out to all of those who fall
When we learn to appreciate who we all are
When we accept all mankind from near and far

When we are all one, children of earth
When we believe all life truly has worth
When the time is now, of what life shall bring
When all love finds meaning in everything 

When you open your mind to anything 
Is when you can hear the angels sing

Darkness

Darkness 

In a quiet room the darkness encircles all 
The slightest of shadows seemly abounds
Your eyes grappling to focus wherewithal 
You become attuned to all the subtle sounds

Within the shadows lurk your deepest fears
In childhood memories of forgotten tales 
Once again fearsome efficiencies appears
In your imagination, within all gruesome details 

Deep within the psyche of the blackest hearts
There is this darkness where hate controls
Somehow hurt turning into anger imparts
Buried deep within their tortured souls

Perhaps that they not know the harm that they do
When consumed by only hate in their tortured souls
Controlled by past events they have lived through 
Deep seated anger and hate takes many tolls

Darkness takes on form in many strange ways 
Be it the void of all light, in a black, lonely space
Or the blackest of souls, of all those that betrays
Darkness can change into light within a loving grace

The Knight

The Knight

There once was a man, bravery beyond all compare
Bound to a king and kingdom, to the people in despair 
Past battles to honour his king and his homelands 
Willingly to lay down his life for all the many clans

His armour chinked, remnants of battles long ago
His sword in its sheave, ready to defeat any foe
His trusty steed, a long friendship, has been earned 
His honour never falters, ones greatness , be yearned 

On a solemn night, the king seeks, his one true knight
“You my friend, my protector, my one true guiding light
“My kingdom cries out to me, do you hear her distain 
You are her servant, and of all your knights that remain “

“There is this evil that threatens, means to kill and destroy 
“These marauding clans, many lands, many hoards to deploy “
“We must stand now, raise our swords, show we stand tall”
He cries "Today we shall live or we die", for the good of all”

"We must ride out to meet these ungodly, unworthy hoard
Let our bravery, feel their defeat with our blood stain swords
Each of us knights, swore an allegiance to God and our king
Now is the time, fight for the honour and glory that shall bring"

Such a battle, never seen in many of years past
Fighting for the honour, for the kingdom to last
Each knight wields their sword, victory seems
The one true knight, hearing the death screams 

He stands tall in the saddle, seeing all the bloodshed 
His knights stand true, lost in a field of crimson red
When an errant spear, somehow finds it's one mark
He falls from his steed, blood flows it's reddish dark

Knights kneel at his side, seeing death approach their brother 
All of his warriors, humbly pay homage to a general like no other 
They raise and carry his body and his sword
To honour his bravery, for his king and his lord

A king strangely kneels before his fallen knight 
As if he lost his only son, sorrow lost in twilight 
He stands, looks upon his people and he cries 
“This my truest knight, his life, what does it symbolize “

All the kingdom pay homage to their fallen son
Raise banners, tell tales, sing songs of the one
The one true saviour, to our hearts remain anew
To our brave heart, his soul shall remain true

Time

Time 

There is the essence of time in space, that we are not aware
There is a quality of time, that we wish we all could share
There may be times when you feel that time is on your side
Or time can be an eternity, lost somewhere in the great divide 

There are timelines that we impose upon our daily lives
There are timetables that we set forth and attempt to strive 
There are timeouts, whenever we believe events have gone awry
There are timeframes, life's memoirs lost in the sweet bye and bye

We have timepieces we wear, they remind us to be there
We have timekeepers, to tell us we should always be aware 
We have timeshares, that are meant to share a part of you with me
We achieve timeworn, a reflection of what was and what must be

Never be timed with what you really want to achieve 
Allow yourself to be timeless in what you truly believe 
If we all live our lives with humility in a timely manner 
Then our time spent on this earth shall truly matter

Within every second, minute, hour, day and year
Like the rhythmic beating of your heart you hear
Every breath you take, is such a true gift everyday 
Because one day, father time will take it all away

Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock
Within the beating of our hearts, like a time clock

The Dark Rider

The Dark Rider

From a dark and distant time, so very long ago
In a land, time has forgotten, sunken below
In an era when the blackened heart of man
Struck fear and despair within all the land

You could feel the grip of the black cloud of fear
Blanketing over the land, everything far and near
“Tis a terrifying time for the likes of any man
Unaware of whence this tale of darkness began”

The elders would speak of a dark sinister long ago
Where a black ghostly image would appear so slow
A  dark rider would appear out of the cold black night
Riding a black steed, fire in it’s eyes, terrifying sight

It was said that rider was sent from hell to avenge
Of the innocents done wrong, seeking only revenge
A hellish quest, retribution to the evils that men do
Swift reprisals to the wrongdoers he does pursue 

The rider is judge and jury, not one man shall survive 
Once he seeks out his lowly prey, not one is left alive
He suddenly appears, tall shadow in blackest night 
Of who he seeks no one knows, until daybreaks light

Once again the dark rider leaves his mark on the town
His justice for those too weak, unable to fight is renown
The fear that evil doers feel for this dark unholy reaper 
Is a testament to his judgment, an unholy peacekeeper

I Hope You Sleep Well

I Hope You Sleep Well 

Living in your controlling world of pain, hate and fear
Where only money and greed is all that you hold dear
Within all your lies that you tell
I hope you somehow sleep well

Where you destroy lives, just to have control 
Only to have your bank account reap you whole
Not caring who you buy and sell
How can you really sleep well?

What happens when you loose the power you once gained
All that you have worked for is gone and nothing remained
Your future uncertain, now lost in your own hell
Even in all torments, I still hope you sleep well

There will come a time when you must answer for your sins
When karma comes a calling, all of  your atonement begins
Looking deep in the eyes of our god, what could you truly tell
Will you be able to ask forgiveness, will you forever sleep well?

In Sadness and Sorrow I Now Weep

In Sadness and Sorrow I Now Weep

I   In sadness and sorrow I now weep
N  Never to see the one I loved so deep
S  Saddened, cry weary eyes in retrospect 
A  All family and friends here in respect 
D  Day of sadness, as we all shed a tear
N  Now all of us together from far and near
E  Ending of a chapter, of a life of their own
S  Sharing stories of the person we have known
S  Smiling and remembrance of times that were shared
A  Always knowing this day would come, though never prepared 
N  Now is our time to feel such loss, such sorrow and pain
D  Desperately seeking the right words to say again 
S  Somber guest speak so quiet, seeking a familiar face
O  Operatic music plays, seems so strange, so out of place 
R  Remembering the music that was apart of us all
R  Rock and roll music we loved, we all had a ball
O  Out of all our past experiences, all that we shared
W We friends carry on, a smile for the one whom we cared
I   In this moment in time, we take pause to truly remember 
N  Never shall we forget the one, when a life turns to embers
O  Offering help, in anyway to those who have been left behind
W Wondering, what solace I can give to ease their solemn minds
W Waiting for the right time, my condolences, to family in kind
E  Each of us sharing the love within us all, the tides that bind
E  Emotions shared, the celebration of life, such a blessing 
P  Pausing to give thanks for all the love in our lives, everlasting 

In Sadness and Sorrow I Now Weep
