In Lieu of Love

In lieu of love give me hate,
In lieu of age give me an imagination, even if it is too late.
In lieu of sex give me chocolate,
In lieu of a grave give me a ride to Mars on a rocket.
In lieu of sadness give me happiness and glee,
In lieu of pride give me humbleness, please hear my plea.
In lieu of beauty give me a heart of gold,
In lieu of fear give me courage allowing me to be bold.
In lieu of desperation give me hope,
In lieu of weakness give me strength to climb the mountainous slope.
In lieu of cowardice give the power to fight,
In lieu of darkness give me a soul that lights the night.
In lieu of inferiority give me a ladder to climb,
In lieu of confusion give me reason to my rhyme.
In lieu of death give me time,
In lieu of purgatory give me the sublime.
In lieu of a man's priorities give me motherhood,
In lieu of the big city give me the backwoods.
In lieu of captivity give me wide open spaces,
In lieu of sadness give me happy faces.
In lieu of music give me the laughter of my daughter and son,
In lieu of sarcasm give me a good pun.
In lieu of the cold give me warmth,
In lieu of stepping back let me race forth.
In lieu of ignorance give me an amazing brain,
In lieu of hunger give me grain.
In lieu of pain give me pleasure,
In lieu of squalor give me treasure.
In lieu of lying give me a tongue that speaks true,
In lieu of loneliness give me you!

Captain Ironheart

Captain: Permission to speak,
Although I may not even be able to squeak,
And you gaze upon me makes my knees weak,
It is only truth that I speak.

I see in you immeasurable courage,
Yet, your heart is used for nothing but storage,
I must admit I am the leader of your entourage,
But your dismissal of love leaves me in an outrage.

You fly to the ends of space,
But your heart is going to waste,
But if I could just state my case,
I could wrap your heart in velvet and lace.

Please, just give my love a chance,
I could teach your heart to dance,
For I have cherished you from first glance,
And mine is the purest love from Pluto to France.

I can teach your heart to love,
To infuse it with the magic of the stars above,
My heart fitting yours like a hand in a glove,
It shall be the one tree that stands apart from the grove.

Give me one moment in time,
And I shall show you the sublime,
Give me reason to my rhyme,
And I shall give you, my Captain, my entire universe for one precious lifetime!

Sleep Peacefully My Love

Rest soundly my love, and peacefully too,
Know that through the night's hours I will be here with you.
May sweet dreams invade your head,
As you sleep soundly in our marriage bed.
Whilst you dream,
Dream of only me.
Dream of the soft hands that hold you close,
Let your world be colored by the tints of rose...
And hear only soft whispers spoken softly in prose.
But if you should begin to quake in fright,
Be reassured that I shall be here to hold you tight.
I shall move my lips across your cheek,
And dry the tears that doth streak.
Hopefully you will sleep peacefully with me here,
Just knowing I am near.
So sleep easily and know that when you open your beautiful eyes,
I will be here with you, our hands and hearts forever entwined.

Love Letter To My Soldier

My dearest Edward,
I admit things could be better.
While you've been away,
It gets colder by the day.
Terror creeps upon me as I lie in our bed,
When it does I remember what you said...
"Think of me and remember I love you,
Look in your heart where my love is true...
Know that if I could I would hold you and never let go,
Baby, I'm going to miss you so."
As I lie here feeling our son kick in my womb,
I know he will make his entrance soon.
One day soon we will be in your arms safe and sound,
And we will thank God for the love we have found.
So whilst you are away at war,
On distant shores...
I will miss you daily,
And pray incessantly... that you come home safely.
So until you are with us I will play the soldiers wife,
And go on in strife.
I hope you will be home soon,
To hold us in the light of the waning moon.
All my love until you are here with me,

Love Always,
Persephone

Grazillas

We love our silly Grazillas,
Who eat chocolate ice cream because they don't like vanilla.
They prefer lumpy pillas,
As they nap under the willas.
They eat salt by the pillas,
And watch only chinchillas.
They prefer to work as millas,
They prefer their envelopes to be manilla.
They could easily take down Godzilla,
Because them Grazillas,
Are stone cold killas.

They are a cross between a gorilla and a gator,
And they sure do enjoy their maters and taters.
They make fun of waiters,
And they are great imitaters.
They love gossiping with the gators,
And are known to be fair ice skaters.
Peculiar too is the way they only eat fish flavored Now and Laters,
And man can they drive those freighters,
And they choose to shave with cheese graters.

They are even one-third dinosaur,
And they are rotten to the core.
They love to renact the Civil War,
And to get a dollar they will pretend to be poor.
They play golf just so they can yell Fore,
And when they get a banana they all yell Score!
They are in a band and go on world tour,
But I admit they are sometimes a bore.
They are the legends of lore,
That come from the Loth Lorien shore,
And in their land they are unequivical lords.

How do they have shimmering tails,
They put water from the Amazon on every golden scale.
Their fur is silvery and pale,
And they comb it twice a day without fail.
Their favorite snack is kale,
Especially in the middle of a gale.
They love riding the rails,
Looking for the the Holy Grail.
They may look frail,
But you never can tell.
They like digging wells,And telling tall tales.
Try never to compliment the males,
Cause their egos sure do swell.So if you come across a silly Grazilla,
Lazing under a willa...
Don't forget to bow to the queen of the Grazillas.
Whose name is Drucilla,
Who lounges on golden pillas...
While she listens to thrilla...
So I bid you ado untilla...

My Favorite Drug

I despise,
My heartbeat begins to rise,
And my soul cries.

I hate,
I don't want this feeling to dissipate,
I feel the sudden urge to mate.

I feel forsaken,
Yet, I want to awaken,
Not like soul has forever been shaken.

I rant,
I want my feeling good not to be scant,
I will not let you go... I can't.

I rave,
I want the drug I too often crave,
I want to be enslaved.

I cry,
I sigh,
If I had to I would lie.

I scream,
Every night, of you I dream,
Of your beautiful eyes that gleam.

I pray,
If you asked I would stay,
And day by day my soul pays.

I cry to the heavens, "When will he be mine,"
Where are the signs,
Will our hearts ever be entwined?

I want the drug,
That I have begun to love,
I want my drug that has come from above.

I have begun to lust,
I must have you... I must,
I know my dragon would destroy us both with just a whiff of your musk.

I need,
You to lead,
Like my gallant steed.

You are my weakness and my strength,
You are the drug that helps me think,
Who lifts me up when I am weak,
Who I want to hold me when I hit my peak.

I need my favorite drug,
The drug known as love,
The drug that came from above.

I want you, my drug, to speed up my heart once more,
To heat me up from my core,
And everyday I want and need my drug even more!

Baby Girl

Did you ever know that you are the most beautiful soul I have ever known,
And have the most beautiful hair ever grown.
Did you know I love your smile,
And that it makes my life worthwhile.
Did you know I love the sound of your voice,
Did you know when it comes to loving you I never had a choice.
Did you know you were created especially for me,
Did you know your laugh fills me glee.
Did you know you are my everything,
The thing in which makes my heart sing.
Did you know I love to watch you sleep,
And if I could choose one thing to hold close to my heart you are the one thing I would keep.
Did you know I loved you before you were born,
And that every time you frown, I mourn.
Did you know I will love you more than any other,
Did you know as far as daughters go I would except no other.
Did you know being in your life gives me pleasure,
And that to me , your every breath is a treasure.
Did you know I am the proudest mother there could ever be,
All because God gifted you to me.
Did you know I thank God everyday that you are my girl,
Because when He gave me you, He gave me the world!

Whats In a Name

Your name is a great thing,
It gives my heart wings.
The letters give such inspiration,
The following are their creation.
Lets begin with the first letter,
That will be far better.
B is for Beauty,
Because you truly are a cutie.
B is for Brain,
From falling I will try to refrain.
B is for Brawn,
One look at your muscles and I was gone.
B is for Bashful,
For you are always tactful.
B is for Better,
You have turned me into a real go-getter.
B is for Baby,
Your smile always drives me crazy.
On to the R,
A greater letter by far.
R is for Rare,
Because we are a one of a kind pair.
R is for Race,
Which is what my heart does everytime I see your face.
R is for Rainbow,
When you are around the world seems to glow.
R is for Rush,
Everytime you look my way I start to blush.

When I am with you I understand the word sublime.
Now on to the A,
Which will help us on our way.
A is for Awesome,
Say good-bye to Miss Lonesome.
A is for Artistic,
Your beauty is so mystic.
A is for Amore,
You shake me to my very core.
A is for Allure,
When I found you I found my heart's cure.
A is for Ache,
Because you fill me with a passion I can never slake.

When you touch me I light up like I am radioactive.
On to the first N,
Which makes me grin.
N is for New,
You planted the seed of love which quickly grew.
N is for Nice,
You're so great I wish I could live twice.
N is for Nurture,
If I loved you any more I'm sure my heart would rupture.
Now on to the D,
Which does wonderful things for me.
D is for Doll,
I didn't know how fast I could fall.
D is for Dear,
When you are around I have nothing to fear.
D is for Dashing,
one glance from you and my heart starts crashing.
On to the O,
Which could never cause me woe.
O is for Overload,
When I see you my heart overflows.
O is for Optimism,
Because you never look at me with skepticism.
O is for One,
One night with you and my soul came undone.
And last but not least is the other N,
And what a way to end.
N is for Never,
Because You are my forever.

For My Most Beloved:BRANDON

A Preemie's Prayer

Dear Lord,
It is me, your tiniest ward.
And though I have been here such a short while,
There is a list of prayers I have already compiled.
Though I am only a few hours old, 
The absence of your presence in my mother's heartbeat has left me so cold!
Please watch over my Mom and Dad,
Whatever happens I never want to see them sad.
Please take care of all sisters and brothers,
And every one of your angels' papas and mothers.
Let all people, no matter creed or race, get along,
For war has ravaged this earthly paradise for far too long.
Protect the weak and make them strong,
And if you must admonish your children do so kindly in order to teach them right from wrong.
Protect our pets with your gentle hands,
Let there be food aplenty in all your lands.
Protect and carry the children you so kindly made,
Shed your inner light on all who are afraid.
Let your children know that all they need to do is speak your name to know peace,
And please let all the violence against your children cease.
Please take care of all your daughters and sons,
And grant them peace and love by the tons.
One more thing before I go,
While I still feel your magnificent glow...
If it is not too much to ask, protect me too, though now I may seem small I the scheme of things,
I am not quite ready to once again don my angel's wings.
Until we speak again,
I will remain your truest and tiniest friend,
And until the next, I say with all the love I can muster, Amen!

Take a Walk On the Darkside

Take a walk on the Darkside,
But don't be surprised...
By the madness  that comes bursting out with pride.

Do you have thoughts of homicide,
Days where you want to it all by suicide,
Your inner demons know all the thoughts you try to hide.

Are there moments where you wish you were alone in the world,
Where you wish you didn't love men even if you are a girl,
Take a walk on the Darkside and see what starts to unfurl.

Do you have an Oedipal complex from Hell,
Do you fear you have no soul, that you are simply an empty shell,
Take a walk on the Darkside and find the place where such thoughts dwell.

Take a walk on the Darkside and fall down the rabbit hole,
Where your soul is as burnt and as black as coal,
Walks like that are sure to take their toll.

Take a walk on the Darkside if you must,
Talk to your demons, obey your lust,
But hold your breath when the winds begin to gust...

For every dark must have a light,
So take a deep breath and hold on tight,
And I'll see you on the other side of Dark, in the blinding light!
