Good Night and Good Luck“Good Night and Good Luck,”
Brought to us from the stage,
Allowed viewers from home
To with theater engage.
Based on Edward R. Murrow
Who, for CBS News,
Got to challenge McCarthy,
It got rave reviews.
Though George Clooney was brilliant,
As was the whole cast,
What most got me was watching
A glimpse of the past…
When the bad guy was finally
Brought to his knees
After hurting...

NightA man once asked me,
in the middle of a drifting conversation,
“How long do you sleep in a day—
if you ever sleep at all?”
I looked at him,
searching for a polite reply
but found none that fit the weight of his question.
So I simply said,
“I do sleep—
just like any normal soul.”
But deep inside,
I wondered—
what does normal sleep even...

Good night 2Great night to sleep tight
Onyx sky looking at stars
Owls hoot a piercing cry
Did he just call sweetheart
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray that I wake up
Good night poet or good morning
Hope you get plenty love

O' Crescent Glow
O' crescent glow
of perpetual allure,
candescent vigil, spirit light.
Vouchsafe a crystal dream
so I may brave
the solemn eerie night.
But if by chance,
at dawn, this ka,
in slumber's freeze awaits.
With plumage beings
I beseech ascend
to greet God's sentence fate.

BetrayalI feel the biting of the wind, stinging my ear
The soft silver blanket falling from the sky, crying on me
With you by my side, draped in silk
I lean over the edge
Admire the world's beauty
When I feel your blade kiss my throat
Stealing the glint of the city
Mouth parting slowly..with a stupid realization
Eyelids meeting, as...

Good Night SoupersGood night ladies and gentlemen
I’m ready to sleep and dream again
My silk bonnet on my head again
Ceiling fan going strong my friend
Good night hope you sleep long
But if you’re in another time zone
Then enjoy your morning or noon
May your day be pleasantly consumed
And if you’re looking for a test
Enter my Prince Roger Nelson...

One Way Ticket To Midnight, Lyrics
Ah — ahh — aaah — aaahh...
Ah — ahh... ah — ahhh...
Aaah — aaah — ahh — ahhh...
Ahhh — ahhh — ahhh — ahhh...
Let the final countdown begin
Proxy war in Afghanistan
Saudi Arabia vs. Iran
India vs Pakistan
Sunni vs Shia
The 38th divide of Korea
China taking over the sea ...

My kind of RedI told myself
To go with the flow
Gosh I was so naive then
And though somewhat I had known
Of warmth and of love
And how it all goes
When I saw her
All of it just froze
She wasn't all sweet
And warm like I'd been told
But she was like blood
Splashed over white snow
She was like a fever dream
Shards of red...

SIX WOMEN PATIENTS SIX WOMEN PATIENTS
Six broken women lay down to rest
brown bodies all in a row
six long stories to tell with jest
six smiles with a million tears
race around ward releasing fears
just so
Six windows uncurtained offers
six sunny acacias buffered
trolleys reel, pills and bottles steep
surgeon makes his rounds with a nod
six students...

The Architect of the DivineMore than a hindered of them in colorful suits gathers in a room
Contemplating the replacement of an icon that has left us too soon the body did not get enough time to cool and there they are
casting lot over his dead body that lies still in the tomb
I am still figuring out...

Love Is The Key
Where fire burns in depths of night,
To lead two souls to morning light,
Behold a love, soft and true,
As we wake to travel a road so new,
Of trust and faith we twine as one,
And prosper in love beneath the sun...

Sorry, no! I don't want to go gentle into that good nightSorry, no! I don't want to go gentle into that good night!
I'm not up for a long, unendurable, end-of-life fight.
When it's my time, I'll opt for a quick, euthanistic squirt,
so I'll feel only a tiny pin prick of hurt,
as my eyes bid a gentle goodnight ~ to the dying of the light....
