Endless Chorus of Tears - Diana Ross TributeHer life turned upside down, endless chorus of tears,
jilted she hoped he would stop in the name of love.
What was once endless love was now songs full of fears.
Her baby love left her lost like a lonesome dove.
Jilted she hoped he would stop in the...

Still Un-Answered Universal QuestionIs it a myth that History repeats?
This universal question that time deletes
Is the evidence clear that it occurs?
Through eons and eons it strangely recurs
Is it true that horrors are dulled by time?
This forever, unchanging paradigm
If wars are to end should it start with...

Spirit of the Navajo (Pantoum)Spirit of the Navajo
How hard life has become
Reciting prayers of long ago
Alcohol an escape for some
How hard life has become
Water is a scarcity
Alcohol an escape for some
Look at them with pity
Water is a scarcity
Wells will soon run dry
Look at them with pity
How could one not...

Someone Like YouI'll find a remedy for my broken heart.
A round of applause, you've melt my heart to stone.
I couldn't make you feel my love, from the start.
I'll find someone like you, I'll search for a clone.
A round of applause, you've melt my heart to stone.

How Dim the Stars"When love fades into the depth of night, stars lose the glimmer of their light."
Poet's quote.
A star riddled sky recurs in beautiful dreams
We danced and whispered tender words of love
Only Orion overheard
Oh, starry, starry night
how wistful I am when I gaze upon...

Mission Impassible - GrossThe river’s running higher than the river’s run before
I knew it was; there’s three feet of it on my kitchen floor
And next doors garden shed came crashing into my front door
But I needed a number two and I could wait no more
I waded to my...

In the Dead of NightBy the light of day,
Near the edge of night.
I heard whispered tales,
Of an ethereal sight.
With my muddled vision,
By now spirited head.
Bound for the graveyard,
To walk among the dead.
The air had been cooled,
By an early winter frost.
So I mustered my courage,
Then the threshold I crossed.
The silence...

Hammer On Metalman kneels in grace
he is hammer for the god's of war
creating his place with a hum and rattle
time is man's finest driven rival
a flash in the sky
we fall and fly
lost inside our own battle cry
hammer on metal produces this metallic sound
agony’s pleasure...

When Will It EndWhen, oh when, when will it end?
The inhumanity that recurs again and again.
Mere mortals true, but true animals too.
Too many with hearts dark, through and through.
History stained with innocent blood drained,
The countless lives lost and nothing gained.
Sad excuses implied are forever justified,
Reasons unreasonable that leaves...

Dead BalladsDead Ballads
Written on the pages of time
read tarnished couplets and
quatrains
which corroded pauses are
leprechauns sat on pots and
pans
which melt before and after the
rain. Yet the lyrics exist, they
are just a phantom, a semblance-
in a ghoulish apparition,
they...

BeautifulI’m missing you
I’m craving you
Our love is magical
You’re beautiful
Every time I see your face
I think I’m going to die
I feel a heat attack coming on
‘Cause baby you electrify
Your soul is pure, you’re full of life
When I look in your stormy eyes
I know
You’re beautiful,...
