All I Have To Do Is Dream
Night or day
Dreamin' life away

Do You Want To Dance
Under the moonlight
through the night

Who's Sorry Now
Sad and blue 
Cried over you

Poor Little Fool
Lied to me
Won her victory

Book Of Love 
Meaning of romance
One more chance

My True Love

Rebirth

Grey ghostly clarions
Swiftly travel
To the east of darkling day
Riding on a dirge wind
Blowing harsh
Over waters that reflect
The fading dawn
When they turn to blood red, 
Glowing crimson,
As they color the vast and swirling grey
Trumpeting to the earth,
With light retreating,
The call of night
Where black and twisting tree...

Then Margarita gave her father mind,
for she was very happy being home.
Hence three years placed in a covent confined
where she's had little use of brush and comb.
Removed from places she loved most to roam,
the fields and plains of fine San Luis Ore.
For loving Yankee, sealed...

I have spent a lifetime
trying to find my perfect fit
in a chaotic world that has 
no time to dwell on just one
I had to stop looking 
at my downfalls
My reality is of my 
own making 
I choose to live it 
happy or sad 
Nothing in...

I am the one who keeps mothers awake at night.
I am the one whom she lives in dread, for whom her tears are sadly shed, the one for whom 
her tears never dry, I am the one memory that will never die.

I am the one...

Addicted to somethin’ 
My thoughts no longer own
A fish tank full of submarines 
Swimming schools of piranhas
Waking up soaking wet
Sharks swimming in my sweat

Sleeping on the cold floor
Petrified to close the door
Or open when closed...nightmares 
Circling ahead...flocks of aeroplanes 
Like vultures to a carcass 
Feeding...

From morning's golden sunshine
To noon day crystal clear
We go into hazy twilight, austere
Closing blinds our vows refine:
Love rewind to sparkling wine
Awaiting the new day to appear -
Awakening sounds smooth and sweet.

Daylight new duties assign
The lists of days appear:
Seconds, minutes, days, months merge to year
Circles, monotones...

hood covered lutherns wear their naratives 
under a furrow of clouds.

their earmuffed headphones filled with lukewarm 
monotones from garrison kiellor.

they discuss the  northern progressive aesthetic and 
of what it means to 'feel minnesotan'. 

gathering together in an east wind they descend
 down along icy...

waiting in line.. in step... 
in monotones.. at mid afternoon.

waiting for a cup of coffee 
from a thin barista.

while outside it is raining..

outside the clouds float by in 
gray shades of indifference

 outside a few pigeons cheat the 
 sidewalks mortared lines.

 yet inside the...

Away my soul suspends into the thin air
As I drool away the day, lying in the lair
Waiting for the diamond rays of the sun sinking below the earth far away
Chirping crickets; and the curly motions of the evening birds takes my soul away 
Chorus of...

Missing are times I wasn't feeling like this
A symphony of monotones inscribed in the bliss
What if the cackling clowns are prophets in disguise?
don't think that I can trust the dreams projected in my eyes

Twisted and unwashed; a soul I cannot clean
Lacing my...

My harmonica cries, 
in tones of silver sighs and golden tears; 
wailing bittersweet joy.

Sound of sadness; sound of laughter; 
it’s in the wailing that color blooms.  
Mouth-harp memories fill many family albums.

Circle of breath, circle of life; 
winding in and out; among the reeds....

The Terror Bugs pursued them through the skies toward the river
Cody flew just fast enough but still he felt a shiver
“Any slower and we’ll stall and crash on London Town
It’s time to find out if...

Why  look for me at the foot of Devils Peak
I hear you visit there every other week
It was the choice that you made so long ago
Hate saying it but you recall I told you so
I too have memories of our rendezvous
So smitten so very...

dog drops like an old bag of bones
tail chasing finished for now
he snores and gasps in monotones
I’ll come back as a pup next life, I vow...
