I Wait For the End and Sing My Death Song
As I leave you today Im broken hearted
My body dies and I become one of the departed
The taste of death sickens me in every way
All the colors I know now are black and gray

With no worries as I know you will be shortly along
I wait...

Death Song-Cry of a Cougar
Death song cry of a cougar

I have seen death as a strange friend
Death has shown me that life does not end
But what I see is meant for me to prepare myself when I leave this life eternally
I have once laughed at death
And cried tears of...

Im looking atthe end that coming in a short while

So I welcome the angels...

Swan Song
The passionate young man on his way to his love
Walked by a lake carrying a snow-white dove
Inside his shirt he held it close to his heart
When he heard a song - an enchanting work of art

The melody was captivating, full of sorrow -
The cries of...

Tomorrow Is Our Last
Tomorrow is our last,
  To be free;
So let us make it last,
  You and me
Yesterday’s deeds are done
  Let us go
We gave our bravest son
  Let him go
I wish upon this star
  Every night
To meet my avatar
  Golden light
She...

Our Sadness

not to know the power of now
beyond toys and stars
we cling to our last breath song
held so silently in the now...

Insomnia
midnight minutes tick away.
lay awake, sleepless dismay.
a pillow, refuge for an empty head.
time, a book that cannot be read.
simple sheets, enclose around.
I hear a very distant sound..
WAKE UP!!!
there, alone a restless mind.
sleep, a haven I cannot find.
close your eyes, play a game.
I think my head...

True Brotherhood
The helmsman sings a merry song:
Haec est vera fraternas,
and downs a cup of something strong,
Hick, vera, hick, hick, fraternas.

The sailors dance a lusty jig,
forsaking sails, crow's nest and rig.
Young princes and their ladies fair
join in the drunken helmsman's air:
Haec est vera fraternas.

Commoners with nobles prance.
Friars...

oh awful you are
coming like a wail wind
pretending to be helpful
come and steal my love away...

Your Favorite Song- Brick By Brick
Brick by brick she 
stumbled and crumbled,
one roped to my ankle, 
                         as I drown-
She sits as I stand.

Pledge Allegiance To the Lamb
I never really thought about it until I was listening to a song
But that's why Cassie Bernall is dead today
Because she was making a stand to pledge allegiance to the lamb
And what she said woke up a lot of people of all ages!!!

She just said...

The Hallelujah Cry
“It's not a cry you can hear at night. It's not somebody who's seen the light. It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.”

This is my favorite quote from the song Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright because it is a sad yet uplifting song that tells...

Very Bad News
Anna left early from Soho
But still she got caught in the storm
Due at 5:30, it’s quarter to ten
She should never have driven alone

Maybe she’s parked at a rest stop
Or maybe some roadside motel
Or maybe we never will see her again
You know sometimes it’s too close...

Still On Patrol
Can you hear the whispers
brought on by the wind storming?
Carried true by the harpers,
the tale the howls are forming?

Came a knock at the farmer's door,
a mailed fist with a fate to turn.
A sob, a wail, a call to war,
a boy, a son, home soon to...
