If I had one wish?
I would ask for a day
To say to my Dad, all I didn’t get to say
Everything on my mind
In every possible way
If I had one wish?
I would dance to hearts content
My emotions would not be bent
Because my father would be here.
If only one day I could rent…
If I had one wish?
I’d wish all time away
Without that record, we’d have longer days
Untracked time with loved ones
And just enjoy all life’s display
I would wish away Eve
And her eating from that tree
So that we all could live forever
In God’s kingdom, happy and care-free
I would illegalize “goodbye”
Then it would never be in existence
Our loved ones couldn’t die
And we could find other reasons to cry
Oh
I have to pick just one you say…
Well I’ll condense them all together…
……..
If I had one wish?
I guess,
Eternal life’s the card I’d play

For Kristen Bruni’s contest: If I had one wish
I don't know if your real or not
But my attention you have got
Today there really isn't much to do
I start the bike and think about you
There is no way to call
Or even contact you at all
So I ride down the street
Still hoping that some time we will meet
Through out those word there's nothing to sort
As always the ball is in your court
In the chase I am really no good
To rush is something that we never should
It's a waste of time some would say
But you did calm me on those needed days
I know your shy and have some fear
Yet from you I'd still hope to hear
With nothing more that I can do
It's all completely up to you
Then again it could be no big deal
I am not even sure if you are real
Or in the end will I be surprised
And find you as the wolf in disguise
No matter how it should end
If your real you have a friend!

Trick or Treat
Lock those doors
Because I'm here for more
If you don't
I won't care
Since I'll cut you everywhere
Trick or Treat
Unlock that door
Because I'm going next door
Please don't run
It's no fun
But soon you'll feel my blade
Trick or Treat
You can't hide from me
I can see you clearly
Don't run away from me
Or else you'll regret it
Trick or Treat
That was fun
But now it's time to clean up
I hear that sound
Oh no
It's time to run
The Code , Coma
24 Days
24 Hours
24 Minutes
And
24 Seconds
Of time have elapsed
Yet according to watch , no time seems to have passed
Since I looked at my wrist last
If I am not delirious the sun has changed places
This diamond has only 2 not 3 bases
Set upon a bed of 22 faces
21 Dream's , 20 Scream's , 19 Various Themes
18 Answers , 17 Dancers , 16 Chances
Try counting to 15 without using 14
13 a charm and if 12 is doubled
It amounts to 24 , As I eluded to before
That's how long the Doctors tell me the coma lasted 4
24 Days
24 Hours
24 Minutes
And
24 Seconds
It appears in reality have passed
Since I looked upon my wrist last
My favorite time of day is here,
It’s a time of magic and romance;
A time when worries disappear,
The perfect time for you to dance;
The only time I can see clear,
Give everything more than a glance;
Though it lasts only minutes, it feels like a year;
Standing there like I’m in a trance;
It’s a time to just stop and truly hear,
Take in everything’s expanse;
That is why I hold Twilight dear,
It’s the perfect time for romance.
~My theme is taken from Constance's Poem Twilight~
Here we are floating down a walkway with no strings..
Arms raised up high but we know its not just a fling..
Can't hide emotions from the crowd because its to
easy to read..
Pacing our time so that evil ones have no time to feed..
Gifted souls who see the cross and know just how to read
A smile, a glare from across the room might tell a different
tale..
A constant battle of power in this endless game we can't fail..
A puppet dangling over a stage without a word to sing..
Moves right to left and soft words ring out all done with no strings
On the tail of Halley's comet
Is a land that's seldom seen
A place neither here nor there
For it's simply inbetween
A land of many treausres
Of things we thought were lost
It carries all our forgotten dreams
Each time our path is crossed
For only once in a lifetime
Most will see this comet's face
While some will see it maybe twice
As it journeys throughout space
Seventy-five years to travel the earth
In it's quest to steal our dreams
For once we've seen the comet's tail
Life's now shorter than it seems
So the next time you see the comet
Don't forget to look at its tail
You'll see the land of stolen dreams
Before your heart begins to fail
And when you die your dreams are seen
Before you take your final breath
So now you know the comet's true name
It's called the comet of death
MonarchS.cry as the butterfly came and sat by me
Beautiful color on delicate wings sang with a song to be
Whales swam and sent a voice, in waters came the call of choice
Windy shores holding sandy feet, a pulsing river drums a knowing beat
... and I stood, listening in a silent mode, watching waves that wrote of love
listening in a silent mode, making sure as to what I’ve heard, testing true in other words and
cords, games and scores of boards we played. Learned the lessons of what was made in a day,
before and before they came. Looking for the hear of a time unknown and seeing symbols that
are showing what’s shown.
.
Equal flux in.visible knock as I write the log of a time in clock, when fear is near but they came
in pair. Couple of a couplings dared to care. Twins are knowing to see as I do, thinkings showing
that we’re knowing too… the score is balanced and a time is past, peace over anger and it’s here
to last. Choice is the voice that voiced a choice to be in peace through eternity and so was
granted way and right, seconds count when in second flight.

Don't worry my child
if it is or not snowing.
Be sure that old Santa
will get where he's going.
And though he prefers his
fast reindeer and sleigh,
old Santa can surely
come some other way.
There is just one rule
that he'll always be keeping.
He only arrives when
the children are sleeping.
So off now to bed
and dream of the toys
he's bringing tonight
to the good girls and boys.
You say you are worried?
It cannot be right
that he travels the world
in just one single night?
Well now don't you feel silly
right down to your bones?
You forgot that you all live
in different time zones.
He starts in the east
and he goes towards the west.
He keeps up with the time change.
now aren't you impressed?
Each zone takes and hour
and when he is done
it's the very same time as
when he had begun.
So hurry to bed now,
don't get Santa off track,
or you might have to wait
until he comes back.

WHAT IS THE TIME? I AM LATE I THINK
MAYBE I WILL HAVE TIME FOR A DRINK
NOTHING TO RUSH FOR NOT TODAY
TODAY IS THE DAY I AM GOING AWAY
WHERE AM I GOING? WELL I DON’T REALLY KNOW
I AM SURE I WILL REMEMBER BEFORE I GO
I HAVE PACKED MY CASE AND HAVE MY CAR
I WILL BE DRIVING AWAY SOON QUITE FAR
I AM MARKING UP TIME SO I MUST GET ON
I WILL BE BACK BEFORE I KNOW I HAVE GONE
DREAMING OF THE SEA SO BLUE AND GREY
ITS NEARLY TIME FOR ME TO GO AWAY
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING ON MY JOURNEY SOON
BUT I WAS WRONG IT’S IN AUGUST NOT JUNE
SORRY TO SAY THAT IT ISN’T JUST NOW
I HAVE MY DATES ALL MIXED UP SOMEHOW
SO I AM MARKING UP TIME UNTIL THAT DATE
BUT UNTIL THEN I WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT
MARKING UP TIME I AM LOSING THE PLOT
OH WHAT A MEMORY I HAVE GOT
"Time past and past forgotten
Seasons changed for the wanting
Then looking over the Mountain
I saw you..."
Traces in the lines of a face
Carved in stone to mark the place
Left in Time is a sacred space
To be found in Rhyme.
Yesterday I went to there and
Saw the eyes of an Elder's dare
Drawn in rock with Chaac and care
Were the echoes of a Time we hear.
Old with dust and yellow the glow
Where desert sands were once the snow
And water spoke the secrets shown...
I saw faces in the eyes of stone.

NineTs and One step were defined by the Law as they saw it,
As to remain hidden to knowledge, subliminal in the open, they showed it.
Jumping circles to square, they leveled the air by building great pyramids there.
Precise as a marksman dare, the best Mason were sent with care, and...
"Finding four were already here, we studied them, using paper and pen when we came.
Their crooked time stood and we observed it then. We made a notice of Ten.
Your time was slow and so, we colored the rain and started a flow.
You'll remember then a Time when the Vision was Write. Maya called to a Monk,
"Come and knoW a new Light...."
On a Mountain side where worlds float by, there's a golden shine from a Sun once known.
Catch a cloud and ride it to a Rainbow. Come a rise of color, we have yet to behold.
What, the hell was that?
I,I can't see, is anybody out there? what!
What did you say? man! what the hell's going on here?
Whoa!! hey! did i just see that? no way!
What time is it? time! there's no time here.
Do you know me? bars! we all know each other!
More bars, no walls! whats your name? you know!
Oh, my god! no! you can't do that! no, wait, stop!
Oh damn! you killed him. what the hell is this place?
No, please don't! stop! put it down! my leg,!
Wait it's not bleeding. is, is this a dream?
What's that? it's a skull, but who's? it can't be,
My god it's mine! but i'm not dead.
Where the hell are we? we, who's we?
Oh, no not again! more bars, now keys, but no doors!
I don't remember sleep, i must be sleeping.
What's that? a light, it's a long way down.
I can feel the blood, and smell the death.
No bars, just a key, their bones, and no lock.
It's bright, it's loud, it's death!
No face, no name, no past, time gone,
So dead, it's done, so long!!
Passes quickly - doesn't it?
It's a wind that blows fiercely for
a brief time
then dies down
Little time to change
course
Little time to overcome
wounds we have suffered from
We need the healing touch
of cool rain
Then, refreshed , we can
continue on our own journey
If the clock only
spins in one dimension
Then where can we
place blame?
Let's take heart
in the pulse of the city
We can learn from
the movements
of the broad masses
of people
Yes, there is still
hatred, and war
But while the breath is in us
We can move
with the rhythms of
humanity
With a bright and
fierce determination
We will let the angry winds of despair
pass us by
