They decry their gun birthright 
is to defend their home,
protect what they own
A government tank might come rolling
down the road one day
New Roman centurions coming to take
their beloved metal sons away
Give unto Caesar the lobby coins,
and he will let you keep your guns
Ask for the...

A summer breeze blew love their way
 With sweet caresses their passion grew

 Eventide brought lavender skies, as waves
 kissed expectant shores, sunset
 painted  brilliant hues 

 In silhouettes they strolled along
 As they watched the moon arise
 Soon they paused to share a...

Is it true? I thinketh not
Is it a lie? or a well-planned plot
Did the World explode today
And all that dwelt there blown away
Drifting along in the air
To a place that's kind and fair
Only spirits can we see
Everything feels so heavenly....

I want to be blown away,
I want to be swept off my feet.
I want to be the one who makes it hard for you to breath.
I want to be lost in love,
I want to be a dream come true.
I want to be scared of just...

Stand here crucified with sin
Pummeled by the howling wind

Arms stretched wide, just you and me
Thrown to the mercy of the sea

Torn open to the blackest ocean's
Hypnotic, murky, moody motion 

Pulled to the edge and feeling small
Drawn here by your ghostly call

Rooted there on ancient stone
Petrified,...

My Daughter
I am blown away by harsh winds

Melanie, it seems to me, you to be storm clouds
in the distant sky, drifting in and out, passing by
in shades of ever deepening, darker, menacing grays.
You seem to be hidden among shadows, lost in shrouds.

Never a word, an...

the language is
the most useless
gift
when I listen to you
hypnotized

pink rose...)...

BLOWN AWAY
By Roy Merritt


Sometimes when out of doors and under the whirling sway
I wish the rising wind would up and blow me away
Blow me to some distant shore or distant place in time
Allow me some relief from this life I'm in I find
I would be...

a Mystic candle
enamouring Fire
             is so light --

shimmering tenuously
lurching shadows
            and listening 

intensely disinterested
neither attracted

A Home, once…
 Beautiful, entertaining and pleasing
Graced with the old and young
Smiled with peace and comfort
Bloused with a brotherly gown
Sheltered neighbors and those from afar
Shared with and welcomed strangers
Adored with a palatial ambiance

Now in the literature of times
As a heart for the scary
Graveyards stretch-out its...

The winds of despair have made an appearance again
I am afraid they will remain here forever this time
They have whisked away the souls of many men
Now it is here to finally take mine
I stand tall to face them
Deeply rooted like a tree
I will fight my...

Always waiting, you hidden demons
For the moment best suited for exposure,
When I’ve let down my guard
And you grab the chance to take over.

I am reduced to a nothing kind of rubbish
And I marvel at the power you imbibe
As these pictures from years ago,
Creep, then smash...

I climb you 
with my arms. Filled 
with silvery spider web, 
courage, the wish to 
be away from here,
blown in the 
autumn 
wind.

The grass withers 
And the flowers fade,
I am a dry land
a desert wind blown away

I am discarded
Thrown away
But the word of our God stands forever

The grass withers 
And the flowers fade,
I am a dry land
 
Isaiah 40:8
