If My Life Flashed Before My Eyes
If my life flashed before my eyes…
There would be a moment of sadness
Yet, there would be more joy and gladness
There would be a smile of recollection
With the melody of tender affection
There would be assurance and contentment
Without the whisper of pain or

Motion In Devotion
It was a blissful lovers paradise
Moon was ablaze, stars were glistening bright
Through ajar window, breeze softly blew in
Gently caressing o'er their unclothed skin.
Nothing could stop the pairs lovin' feeling
Their shadows dancing across the ceiling
All of a sudden all hell was let loose
Raging wind lifting slates off from the roof.
Thunder clapped, the sky

Flashed Hash
A curve ball on laced marijuana
Asked mushroom clouds for instant Nirvana
Fainted in magic pursuit
Grew quite square straight on the root
Came down from constellation Tucana

Tucana is a large faint constellation in the southern
hemisphere containing most of the Small Magellanic Cloud

Shadow Flashed
Is it the shadow of dark cloud
A vast and hovering menace
Over the endless lake
In this moonless dark night
That flashed in the heart of the dark
Like the echo of unheard sound?

Numbers Flashed
What would I give up for you?
My morning coffee
The newspaper I rarely have time to read
Maybe a few evenings at the opera
Or perhaps that newer shinier car
I see your image
Flash accross my screen
tiny emancipated body
Fragile
Sad
Glassy eyed
I feel
I see
I avert my eyes
What can I do?
Will it make a difference?
Can I love you who I do not

The Bullet, It Flashed Before My Eyes
The bullet,
it flashed before my eyes and I knew I hadn't long.
But mom and dad, don't be sad for I went as was singing a song.
The bullet,
it flashed before my eyes, and I then saw my life.
I know twas short, but no regrets for I knew your smile and needn't much more.
The bullet,
it flashed before

Lightning Flashed Heated Air
Lightning flashed heated air nitrogen bring
Desired raindrops free the earth from love's dust
Raining upon the dry earth unjust, just
It is only a very tiny thing
But when the clouds roll away birds will sing
On God the provider they place their trust
Even when man from his store throws small crust
Today the heavens with jubilation did ring
While the
