A Specter Speaks To War
Smoke rising from the ground
Obscures the pools of blood
Where soldiers uttering sounds
Lie dying in the mud.
Horses neighing, running scared
In horror find no end
Of battleground that's shared
The crimson life of men.
A bugle lies still tightly clenched
In...

Come With Me
You question why I wish to live
In isolation among the wilds,
Forsaking all society gives
And its lure of ventures beguiled?
To answer this I can't decree
In words what lacks simplicity
Instead, why not come with me
To taste...

Come and listen awhile I pray
To hear a sad love story,
I have only a minute to stay
To tell the tale of Malcolm McCorey.

I've loved her since grade school,
She was my...

Little Warrior
Little warrior, take heart and know this
That before you came into my ranks
My kingdom had stood untouched
Safely guarded in that mountain fortress
Where's kept the heart and dreams of its king
Where flew the battle flag of...

Mr. Mankind
Hello, how are you?
There's something urgent I need to say
Oh me? Well, I'm fine too
But I'm not the reason I've called you today.
It's our feral brothers,
They're crying, and are all around us dying
Even Mother Earth...

I Remember When
What happened to all the honey bees
That used to swarm all around and abound
And would cover the fruit and holly trees
Now, you rarely see them buzzing around?
Where have the huge flocks of blackbirds gone
That I...

The Sickness In My Heart
There is a sickness in my heart
It began a long time ago
With three evil spirits that came out of the sea
From the land of the rising sun
Quietly floating on three great canoes.
The mother and her...

Seasons To Wonder
All the evergreens are greener
And the pines are darker skinned
Only leaves that bear the burn marks
Are the witnesses of wind.
On the grass the dew is frozen
In a spiders web of white
And the cold that...

The Amber Nichole
I was the captain of the Amber Nichole
No prouder captain was there than me
She was the very essence of my soul
A finer ship never sailed any sea.
We braved the seas from shore to shore
In search...

The Clowns Are Laughing
Isn't this brilliant?
Isn't it just gay?
Life is so resilient
With you gone away!
But I won't think about that now
No, not just right now anyway
For I've come to see the clowns
And they're laughing today!
It is kind of...

In My Solitude
In my solitude there's been retreat
From worldly events that brought defeat,
When emotions were too weak to bear
I could always find asylum there.
Through childhood, grade school, college too
And as a Man, I always knew
An inner peace...

My Green Lady
Green, green, is my lady's face
If ever friends become common place
Should I converse with others too long
She hangs her head in selfish disgrace.
When another comes along
And she catches me glancing wrong
Her attention then becomes quite...

The light is fading, evening breaks
Between the oaken woods and lake,
It's time to finish with the row
And homeward bound, the trail to take.
With rake in hand I turn to go
To find my pick axe and...

Autumn Nights
Oh Autumn, how I love your days
Your brilliant multicolored sights
But, I'm sorry that I just can't say
The same thing about your nights.
For your cold damp autumn nights
Bring with them your autumn mists
And within your mists...

The Ghost Dance
A shaman prays, the Spirit hears
While a Seventh Calvary regiment waits
Unarmed, a tribe endures a Union's hate
Their animosities, and their fears
As the blue coats begin to circle...
Their wrath begins to circle.
That shaman saw but a...

God's Smile
Oh, beautiful morning
Shine your warmth on me
And with it your grace
To reveal my love's adorning
For these lonely eyes to see
And also her loving embrace.
Oh, brand new bright day
Will you be the kind one
That does find...

Autumn Is For Lovers
The summer's almost over
The days wane shorter week by week
The hills have shed their clover
And, the sun his warm mystique.
Each month becomes less weary
The pain fades each passing day
The future seems less dreary
But, this awful...

Earth Brothers
My brothers are much older than me
They're always teaching me how to live,
Like brother deer, and bird, and tree
And the bees, who teach me to forgive.
We take brother bees food but that's fine
He just makes...

The Masterpiece
If we were the things we loved, then...
I would be the shine in puppies eyes
Or a cuddled kitten's purr,
I would be a great novel or poem
Or, the smell of grandmother's house.
I would be the autumn...

From My Window Lofty High
From my window lofty high

Safely from within the womb
Of this quiet and private room
That's my asylum in the sky
And, I imagine...
From the safety of my perch
Above the elm, the...

The Devil Dances
This world has come full circle
And lies groaning in its sin
For time has now encircled
The beginning of the end.
And now the Devil dances
His hour upon the stage
Through flatteries he prances
To the cadence of his rage.

Ten Brothers
Beneath a flag of red and white
A soldier quietly lies,
His mother sits just to his right
Tears falling from her eyes.
Brothers lie all laid in rows
Around his final bed,
A cross for each one shows
Their names above...

The Rain Falls Softly Now
The rain falls softly now against my shoulders
The sound turns into laughter
The laughter has a face
It is the face of joy.....
