Shadows Past, Waiting for Eternity

Join together FOREVER and ALWAYS
Entwine with Lost Love in Heaven's Hallways
Ignite Love's Fire with a dying Ember
Shadows Past, Forgotten LOVE: Remember

I live in Death,...

The drovers' hearts were beating fast
When our grueling drive was done.
They'd had their fill of dust and beans,
And the only thing they wanted now,
Was a long, hot bath, and some cow town fun.

Hold the pickles
And the mustard too
A real time functions 
Having fun with you
She lies in disguise
A gooey ducks prize
A funky ‘ask why’
In a mustard; on rye
Catch.is.up!
“Busta move…” 
he said;
”...Batters luck!...”
She taps the cat
on her heal at that
with spikes at the base
of her feet…
Hearts are sweet...

After Tom left, Bill slugged down his coffee, donned his Stetson and slipped out the side 
entrance. Tom saw him for a split second and quickly looked up at the ceiling as if he didn’t.  Bill grinned. On the whole, his relationship with the...

TIGER TAKES TO THE WOODS

Tiger’s coaches are to blame
If he isn’t on his game
He’s too lazy to compete
And too proud to take defeat.

Clinics have become his style
Fans pay big for Tiger smiles...

I made more than one wish
I stomped my feet and repeated the magic word
I did everything the fairy tales told me to do
In hopes of becoming happy
In hopes of becoming beautiful
In hopes of being loved
I became nothing but a hypocrite

The glass slipper didn’t fit
so I...

Billy never could remember,
At least that's what he said,
Just what it was that set him off-- 
That made him pull the pistol,
And shoot his lifelong buddy, dead.
                  ...

i'm slipping an sliding in, glancing up, then down, gazing at the most perfect smiling frown... 'get up!' from across the room spoke the dark, i slipped out of awake into another dream, like the year before, i'd thought better than to open the door,...

Did Adam’s fig leaf portray his work in brief; 
the attempt, his sinfulness to cover:
While the “blood sacrificed skin”, atones his sins;
- covering them rightly all over?

Cain’s works of his will, “the best from his field,”
could not win him God’s favor.
While Abel’s sacrifice, a “type”...

I rub,
caress, 
knead your aching muscles.
your feet,
magnificent,
I kiss the arch,
along I march,
to your calf. 
Travel up your silky thigh-way
I found enlightenment along this path...

The eight year old girl walks home from school  when she suddenly gets grabbed 
She is dragged to some bush nearby
She gets raped
     The rapist disappears, never to be seen again
     He gets away with it
She...

Maybe, just maybe, upon your return
We can travel across the blue, cold ocean
Where the salt compliments the sunset at the edge
With the pearl from the oyster and grain of sand
Perhaps then we can climb to the mountaintop
Passing along the way, a snowman with a carrot...

I reminisce, of my lonely youth : every other month a different MOM and DAD.
        I often pretended to be happy : I never PRETENDED to be (MAD) or SAD.
        Excuse...

Her clothes where tattered and shabby : What are you doing out so late at night?
  Green eyes  speaking, before her voice : will you buy an origami swan in flight?
     I reached into my pocket : a dime,...

I’ve been good, I’ve been bad
Both Holy and Evil
-- I am man –
An angel in denial
My life I have defiled
The road to redemption
I will end, still on trial
Not for my sins
But for those who still sin
For those who still hold an opinion
Where mine could have...
