Him
I wanna be with you,
you maybe older,
but what does age
have to do with anything
your so sweet,
caring,
gentle,
perfect 
i know that you 
dont wanna be with me,
i'm to young for you,
but,
we have so much in common,
so much to talk about,
never a dull
or quiet moment 
between us,
we'd both...

  Another Cruel Link in their Chain 

1.   Beginnings

Her babe was her joy, such a beautiful boy,
	and he suckled her breast till the end.
The slaver sought cash, bestowed mammy a thrash,
	sold her babe to a gentrified friend.
Yes, life flits like a flash,...

They Say That Memories Never Die
How far back can you remember
As far back as mid December
Your eyes shine brighter than the sun
my feelings for you heavyer then a tone

How many times have we shared tears
I need help to over come my fears
Its become to much to take
Your heart had to...

Gone
Hearts hurting, whatever this is ain’t working, 
your pride’s always gunna come first and 
looks like I'm finally learning

Never once crossing your mind, 
my feelings hurting double time, 
you forget I can make plenty of others mine, 
too bad now you gotta wait in line

In Your Kiss
Splendid rapture
blinding bliss
so much more
and all of this
I find in you
and in your kiss

A better place
and a better time
we would be together
in both love and rhyme

With these things there's no tellin
where we will be 
when the sun comes up in mornin
i hope you'll be with...

Ya call yerself Rose
But ya actually Vie
I'm left here ponderin
Wonderin why

Sure ya pretty
Rose suits ya fine
Complexity like wine
There's some fella
I'm sure ya left behind
Him a seven and you a nine

Yet I look
I ain't see no thorns
Even though petals of splendor adorn
A sweet child 
Canadian born

November Sky

Sitting on my porch watching the wind blow

I watch as the sun starts to fall
It was feeling more and more like...
