Halloween

Beneath the moon and the stars so bright,
hideous creatures born of the night.
Their screams of horror and wailing fear,
for we are coming and we are here. 

These fleeting spirits take dark winged flight,
calling to the heavens spreading fright.
They are ghosts, goblins, banshees, and more,
hordes will...

I Hit Your Car


I hit your car in the parking lot. 
I was there and you were not. 
So I write this note as the people watch, 
and my licence plate they will botch. 
And now this driver he must go. 
I don’t want to...

Footsteps in the Snow


In the cold grip of winter’s night it is the season of nature’s rest. All is not at peace in this time of rest for the forest. All does not sleep.

I Love You

I sit and I listen, to the wind whistle by. 
Looking at the light, from the moon in the sky. 

I hear the crickets calling, to the stares in the heavens above. 
One look into your eyes, I know I am in love....

The Curse of the Faceless Woman

Lost in time, this story is told, about a woman, dark and bold. 
She walks the streets on a foggy night, with a hood on her head to hide from sight.

Her story starts one summer’s eve, beside the lake an...

True Love


I looked into her eyes gently.
I saw her love burning inside.
Her love for me was growing.
As we both stood there and cried.

I’m leaving in the morning.
When I return, I do not know.
I only hope that while I’m gone.
Your love for me will grow.

I returned...

The Lynching

Oh how it is, to be an oak tree, 
one time a nut and now mighty. 
One time blooming in the bright sunlight, 
now it is tarnished by winter’s blight. 

So hideous and putrid the acts of man, 
even the vultures dare not perch...

Summer in the Park


Under the sky the lovers know. 
Long gone the cold of winters snow. 
The children’s laughter is so gay. 
In the sun they sing and play. 

On a summer breeze, the flowers blow. 
Beneath the sun they spread and grow. 
And in...

Peter 


There once was a man named Peter. 
His friends liked to call him Skeeter. 
He was a bit of an ass, 
because he liked to smoke grass, 
and he rolled his joints by the meter.

A Child’s Prayer

Beneath the covers he did lie.
With his head covered he did cry.
He begged the lord to let him die.
As tears would fall from his eye.

God please, please kill me this very night.
Please free me from this pain and terrible fright.
Please free me from...
