May be sung to the tune of  It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

It came upon a prophecy
   in ancient days foretold
that to the earth would come a child
   fulfilling words of old.
For all the earth to be redeemed

The butcher came for the sheep
                   the cow did not moo, she wasn't a sheep

I waited for him as the soldier comes
With a beating of drums and trumpet call;
But he arrived instead with a quiet tread
That my ears never heard at all.

I thought he would come like the blazing sun
And claim me for his bride;
But in the soft twilight...

I Came By…
(to see you)

You don’t see me. 
I see you, everyday. 
I am afraid to say hello. 
You may say good-bye. 

I just want to ask, 
if you like dinner, 
have you eaten?
Do you eat? 
Of course you have…
or will.. 
or might…
I believe I...

He'd be typing away on his desk
with blueprints for the next big thing,
While I'd be staring off into the azure sky
appreciating the "insignificant" things

You really are a genius
in your field of technicalities,
with which you thoroughly water;
A wife, a place of your own,
and a destination in...

The horizon was brewing ominous clouds,
Dark as if they came out of hell.
The once azure sky became hazy
As the north wind chilly breezes
Puffed up more stratocumulus,
Rain-heavy clouds signified storms.

I rested against the balustrade
Of the promenade, looking down at the sea.
Waves upon waves dashed at the...

A wicked chill, even her house could feel its creep
Tho' silence would not hear its horrific demands.
A dark dream, had awakened her from her deep sleep,

She came to me in the noon day sun..
her world wistful, longing for an unsung quiet.

But I would not remain still, nor silent,  
though her hours in life, never meant for long.

Desperately I grasped her up in loving embrace.. 
And in her arms cried,...

Once upon a time many years ago
There was a sweet and lovely  red, red Irish rose
That was plucked prematurely from the garden vine
A budding beauty taken in her prime 

She was laid to rest upon the death of a lovers dream
Upon a chest of...

(MIDNIGHT CAME UNEXPECTED -Poem Version)
She said it was just a poem
But her naked vulnerability 
Was all too real; I felt the chill
As the sun quickly set behind
Her cold and bare silhouette 
The dark lake like a noose
Strangling sweet memories
Until only a thought remained
As she recalled...

It came and passed, and not a word was spoken
     as trills sang sweet from the tongue of the sparrow.
          Indifference now, our love was but a token,

She waited....
heart beat expectancy
to heightened degree
it would come
It MUST come
every day
waiting
for the message
"There must be a mistake!
How could he just vanish
disappear into thin air
and not care
No, there must be

Perhaps he was sick
perhaps he was dying
and he didn't want her to know
wanted to spare...

Queen Guinevere was quite a sight
When Arthur returned from a fight
He looked up and down
Then said with a frown,
"You look like you've had a rough knight!"

Arthur opened the bedroom door
Where clothes lay all over the floor
"This looks rather bad,"
Said Sir Gal He Had,
"I've mistaken your...

     On the scented breeze of the early Spring,
     When shifting winds of fortune oft’ times...

When starlings were swimming in the azure lake,
When bats and owls began their nocturnal ride,
When all the Earth under a dark blanket lay,
And man and beast into sweet repose retired,
My Muse, like a sweet temptress, came to me
To set this captive free, to give free...
