Holding on to my words
Your kiss
Took the sun 
And replaced it with Mars
There is a deep chill 
As the heartbeats echo from 
Underneath the ground
It could have been confused with an earthquake
But it is the sound of the dead returning to life
Mesmerized, her lips are like to two mountains hidden with 
Gold in between
I never thought this would happen to me
I never thought someone could amaze me
I hope not to ruin things this time
Tugging strings
A symphony plays every time a smile exudes from her face
Dear Lord,
I hope she is the one
That will be the one for awhile
Ladylove, what is your name?
Truly irresistible,
Marilyn Monroe does not have anything on this girl
If for instance, I was interested
You would be more interested in the football star
The trail of perfume you left behind
Reminds me of my cowardice not to ask
Taking the chance not to get hit by the 
Suave man in a suit and tie
Rewind,
Now I took the chance and you are mine
No more looking in a million different places
True or not true
“This is the best rodeo ride”
Yes, I finally made it to a fifth round
Releasing the floodgate of emotions
Are we there?
We are from away from home
Don’t look down
The stars are reflecting from your eyes
I would give all my money away
And be poor and in love 
Just for one day
This kind of love creates shooting stars in the sky
Voice like an angel
If “Michael” means arch angel
Her name must be Michelle
The secret quest is now revelation
With Crimson Satin upon her breast
Clings to her body’s frame as if a test
Draping soft curves along her trim waist
Longs to depart without lingering haste
She has everything I want to know
I can take days just tasting

The Angry Sea

THE ANGRY SEA

The eye of the storm is lurking at sea
Is it Gustav or Hanna waiting to be?

The angry waves ravage the coast
The people must leave
Without any hope.

The stronger the storm
The darker the night.
When all hope seems dim
Its time to take flight.

When all hope seems lost
When our dreams seem to falter
Lest we forget to
Turn to the alter.

Our Lord and our God
To you do we plead,
We love you our Father
It’s you that we need.

Don’t let us forget
 to thank you dear Lord
You don’t send the storm
It’s of one accord.

We pray the sun will rise again,
The storm will pass 
We’ll see our friend.
The ocean will calm
The sky will be blue
We love you dear Lord
We’ll always be true.

Onward To Freedom (In Quest of Better Days)

(co written with Linda- Marie Bariana P.E.P.S "Sweetheart"


How richly sings our heritage,
O, that of days gone by.
When strangers first traversed these shores
under that of a foreign sky.

So distant from the lands they knew,
these pursuers of another life.
They came in quest of better days
and an end to their days of strife.

Their hope was not in that of men
and the lands from which they came.
But so to find a fuller life
while their families remained.

At peace with hope and offerings
as new endeavors peaked,
To leave behind those memories
as stability they seeked.

In a land where freedom is the salt
of this, God’s good, green earth,
in recompense of hours spent
in searching for their worth,

Adieu to those familiar shores
 that the forefathers had trod,
Onward unto new paths of change
created alone by our Glorious God.


Dead Paradise

The struggle is 
over
    Utopias have become 
wastelands
    Once we knew - or thought we knew 
    Such a different reality 
Time erodes all societies 
    The hands of the clock 
burnt away the structures    
  we once believed were so strong 
    The  vaccum which 
         has been created
leaves us 
with an empty feeling 
But if we open the 
doors which have been 
  created recently 
We will find a path 
    leading us out of 
  the confusion 
The summer sun 
    shines on a changed 
world 
   Before you give up hope 
        Reflect on past 
   mistakes 
With hope as our 
guide 
    We can carve out a 
new path 
  Let's touch the world 
lightly 
   Our fate is becoming
clearer every day
  Breath deeply of 
the atmosphere of 
     freedom 
             taste 
   the rich wine 
which is being poured 
     by a hand we cannot 
see
   but can perceive deep 
in our hearts and innermost beings

On By Some

Time gracious... free... sadly 
slipping away on by some... .


Sweet as the twilight Sun... .


Being blessed by this through God's quest 
for evenness a perfect equality for all.


Through His compassion, grace... I see here today, 
in their innocence the birds fly by me all bellowing out 
tweeting-gingerly as-they sing through the Summer Spring, 
and Fall through the precious and always looming... if I'm willing 
to look... Winter sky's... .


Looking at the mountain's-as they rise and fall again to greet the glory 
of the humble-prairie lands. As the snow falls softly whipping around 
glistening in the quiet known by me now of these still mornings.


The Sun always brimming, like one big fervent, little giddy 
grand blue snuggie, is all too delighted I feel now to bring 
me the opportunity time and again to embrace them in 
their brilliance.


Love, I consider now to be the hope willing reliance, 
faith, yes joy the simple clarity brought to know the 
beauty of all of these gracious and even more 
eminent things, and so I believe it too this is 
why some flags are flown as such.


Waving about for all this honest passion, 
opportunity for the another, as I believe it 
is their-certain vision of whiteness, readiness, 
pureness, being the prudent example, the one
brought again, and again... to remain open. The 
innocent color yes perfect reflection of their desire 
for peace... !


Time, gracious and free, sadly, though I hope still 
now it not be this way with you if it is, because as it 
is I have looked, felt and seen been shown through 
the loss of some of it myself, it still... slips away on 

by some... !

Lets Prepare For the Worst and Hope For the Best

You moved away to try to forget
Your problems followed you were caught in its net
Now you’re back to face it all
Picked up the phone and gave me a call
Of course I came to be at your side 
To help a friend and to be a guide

You need to get your problems off your chest
Let’s prepare for the worst and hope for the best

You can’t forget who you are 
You can’t forget where you’re from
Lets wish upon a star
And maybe we will rise and overcome
You cannot run from your past 
Open the door and make today last

You need to get your problems off your chest
Let’s prepare for the worst and hope for the best

So now you’re here so get it all out
Tell me everything just vent and shout
But know this I’m with you every step of the way
I’ll make you laugh with the works I say
Wipe your tears when you cry
These troubles are great but I won’t watch you die

You need to get your problems off your chest
Let’s prepare for the worst and hope for the best

I’ll be your pill when you need a cure
Remember only God himself is totally pure
These things on your mind will always weigh
They’ll be with you until your last day
You must forgive yourself and then be true
Love yourself and know I love you


~ (~) ~ ... ""because-Bold Winds-Rave"" ... ~ (~) ~

~ (~) "Yes to tell the truth whatever I deemed alone so-far-myself in my-lifetime to be-of-
eminent-promise, quiet virtue — is but only a tale I fetched up to be my merry placate... yes 
gathered up from the ominous hollo of the wandering winds, told in the futility of my mind 
infinitely far-and-a-ways beyond the timelessness of their prudence, love... enchantment 
continuing grace; that which I would delight myself in the-hands-of today — and for-the-
remainder of them... if were they to come to pass... ." (~) ~


~ (~) "For-them I would-not-barter a thing... but-offer-all-of-me again... and whatever 
pleasures brought-bought-and-sought after-from-then-on yes I pray it would assume a true 
peace, for everyone — instead-of-the-clutter wrought-mostly-of-my-own-confusion, and the 
certain-hell-it-has brought-me, and another, as a result — but still... given this fact I feel 
scars still-grow-old eventually growing over, given-the blessing of-time... life — the struggles 
toward an honest enlightenment through faith in Christ all leading to victory I believe today 
no-matter — the periodic lack-thereof... ." (~ ) ~ 


~ (~) "So I consider the experience of this hope as-the-promise-awaiting all-who would-will-
moreover-to fight-to-breathe, God's mercy the breath of life being their release, forgiveness, 
their-humble-reprieve... ." (~) ~


~ (~) "Because captivating I think-yes, the-passion-of-a-promise left unfinished — alive... like 
the-fury-and-fortitude-of-a-raging-wind, and so it is felt and upheld forever-kept-open — 
such-it-is-I-feel-to-own-a-love, unending." (~) ~


~ (~) Be-it-to-death-or-the-journey-beyond, though prompt as time-presses-on so this hope 
will always remain. (~) ~


~ (~) "Abounding-of-all good things-peace-forever-carrying its sweet refrain... 

and with eternities light shown down... you know I shudder-to think-not...

because where-have I gone-that the-ground has-not risen-up to-greet-me... and-peace-
wasn't-found-eventually...

and at this moment where is it exactly I don't feel safe... through these things I know truth is 
always resurrected... 

and yes through these propositions I'm sure... so very much more can be deliberated!" (~) ~

Waiting On God

Waiting on God

Waiting, waiting, Hope in hand,
Days are spinning out God’s Great plan!

Cumbered about man loses his sight,
Anxiously running…losing his might!

Wisdom crying, ask of me! Ask of me!
God gives freely…To set you free.

Let patience work, perfect and entire,
Free at last, nothing can compare,

At Jesus feet, my soul finds rest,
Peace be still, only He knows best.

Waiting, waiting, Hope in hand,
God reveals His great plan.

The Darkness Looms

THE DARKNESS LOOMS

Another night the darkness looms
Another day, a rose that blooms.
When hope seems lost to you and me
The glory fades I hope you’ll see.
I look to you above oh Lord 
I pray to you for one accord.
When morning comes, I know at last
You were the one who held on fast.
I beg you Lord on bended knee,
I know you always hear my plea.
When I forget to seek your face
When I forget You’re in the race,
Help me Lord to seek you first,
Help me Lord to quench my thirst.
I trust you Lord I know you’re there,
In the darkness sometimes I stare.
I come to you oh Lord I plead
Loving you Lord, I’ll let you lead.

A River Called Hope

there once was a river, a river called Hope
when it rained in the desert, the Hope would flow
but too much sun has left the soil parched
now the banks are dry, the Hope has dried up

the critters are dying, no where for them to drink
plants are shriveling as they turn brown and shrink
still the sun beats down on this arid basin
no chances of rain on what once was an oasis

there once was a river, a river called Hope
when it rained in the desert, the Hope would flow
if I immersed my soul, it would be cleansed
but the Hope doesn't flow, over or within

Risk Everything

If you never take risks, you don't know how to be alive.
You are only the passenger, you never drive.
Take a risk at being the best. 
Hold someone close to your chest. 

It is about the hope you see from the start.
The hope that one day leads to a broken heart. 
It is about the good and bad all in one. 
Learning that winners fail, but aren't done.

It is about your triumphs and mistakes.
Giving life more than just what it takes.
It is about the one who tries. 
Seeing, if inside them, the phoenix will rise. 

Our days aren't always sunny, it does rain. 
But you are dead, if you never feel pain. 
Life is only about the experiences you receive.
So for the first time, in yourself, believe.
