Night Sky
In the evening sky are clouds of pinks,blues and gold
All that remains on the way up are good friends of old
Drifting alone it feels like they are all washed away
Secluded old age grey is the remains of the day
Angry seas roaring are reaching for the stars
Path into the darkness alone walking is it far
Beyond the bridge of shadows is light at the end
Evening of life fades to grey will my heart mend
There is mist on the river as the day is fading
Is it children of the night alone there wading
Lost in sadness not what you see but what you feel
Together forever as light and shadows is so real
With a star to guide her somewhere in the night
Gentle on my mind as the beautiful moon light
All squared away as nothing now makes no sense
Now find a new alley don't ever set on the fence
After hours when the lights are way down
In the mood for silence on my face now a frown
And now my memory that no longer has a shape
Winter comes calling and from it I can- not escape.....

Forgotten Cottage
The little cottage set on top of the hill
So run down but I loved it still
Once a beauty it was built with old stone
I would like to know who made it a home
Around it mountains as far as you can see
A beautiful place to make a life and be free
Collapsing roof and broken windows fell out
Dreamy blue sky makes me want to shout
Inside ancient old cook stove all rusted and worn
Just sitting there all alone looking forlorn
Out in the meadow wildflowers bloom by the piles
In the tall grass coyotes and deer play for a while
Forgotten in time the old cottage will be mine
Forever to live there with my love and be fine. . .

Black Sails
Black sails is like the dark of night
Sailing into the morning daylight
Smooth as velvet the black sails glides
Over the water as it splashes inside
I think back to a memory in my mind
To black sails now I hope to find
Back in time to when I was a child
Watching black sails all the while
Up and down that old river we rode
My dad and I with a heavy load
Now hes gone memories is all that's left
Of black sails on the river alone by myself. . . .

Unaware
Shadows of tomorrow is peacefully unaware
Leaving distant shadows without a care
Patience beyond knowledge frozen in time
Hopes through the ages dreams of the mind
Beyond any thing we still shall watch and wait
As thoughts and schemes form much to late
Timeless beauty become flames of delight
As twilight and gold dust forge into night
Hope changes nothing but peace beyond time
We all long for love our hearts hope to find
As sunlight streaks through the clouds
Out of sight the thunder rumbles loud
As time changes the sunshine to rain
Clouds may vary but weep and cry in pain
Peace then touches this lonely heart of mine
With hopes that cross heavens boundary lines
Seeing true love last until the end
Beyond anything our mind comprehends......

Whisper's
Somehow they knew that instruments of time
Was gently seasoned with verses and rhymes
Being impassioned by the wisdom of souls
Guided by their creations back to days of old
Masters they perform songs of their youth
Somehow begin whispers of never ending truth
Rainbows and shadows sway and begin
Natures ending force whispers start over again
While their quest in life turns uneven in hand
Graced is the finale whispers perfect be the end...

Windows of Time
Crawling through the windows of time
Cobwebs stretching over part of our mind
Wisdom struggles to emerge like A gray cocoon
Slowly it brightens like the light of the moon
What wavering forces makes the night
Sending our thoughts to the morning light
Obeying the sign as the half finished plan
Promises hopes and dreams to your fellow man
Through A maze of troubles and trials
Peace slowly eases A false sense of style
Until much later through the windows of time
Cobwebs take over the best of our mind
To erase our life and let us be free
From the troubles of life and who we used to be.............

Winter Of Memories
Champagne and sables delicious and grand
While the wonders of love no where is found
Finding dimension of memories in time
A winter of love we hope to find
With memories darkened all bitter and brown
As walls of shadows spills to the ground
Buried deep in my mind my eyes fills with tears
Deep in my soul theres so many fears
Memories now dying all hardened and cold
Into A winter of memories was A human stained soul
Truth and rhyme might drop memories
Just like A winter of memories.......

Sorrows
Chasing our sorrows into the wind
With twisted fate they never end
Beneath the hurt of sadness and woe
Still our heart will never know
In the shadows will sorrow stay
Within our heart no other way
Must love part or will it be
Free from sorrows for you and me........

Inside Of Me
Upon this lonely hill I stand
Looking down with pen in hand
Memories that flood my jumbled mind
Hopes and dreams I cant seem to find
Shades of sadness creep over me
Into the wind I look but can not see
A reflection of myself of long ago
Once new now old he loved me so
Slowly time passes and my mind forgets
Leaving behind all my regrets
Mindless it seems I will always be
Until the end then will I be free
Slowly I feel the storm fighting me
As swiftly I drift across the sea........
