beginning to hate the cold,
perhaps instinctively,subconsciously knowing
cold's connection to death,

The Face In the Moon
Blood drips from my weary eyes
Tears weeping for the tyranny of time
Villainy rapped up in the atmosphere
Raping and seducing the innocent without fear.
The baseness of aged old women
And the iniquities of hoary men
Mingling in dirty...

A Nation Cries Out
Shed blood, protection of innocence, a badge of honor
An oath was made
Defense of liberties and freedoms
Restrictions placed, standards no more
Chaos and anarchy knock at our doors
Forlorn morals; a time forgotten
Democracy is dead, the people have...

Seen the sun fall from the sky

Storms gathering forming a mist
Stepping from somewhere in time, I've lost that list.
Turned away from all I adore
Wounded heart still seeking...

Her face.
She’s a total stranger to me

See the old, gray-haired woman
Every afternoon. They watch her.
She is always sitting in the rocking chair
On her porch, sometimes reading,
Sometimes knitting,
Sometimes just rocking, half asleep.

Searching through pockets for a letter that needs to be read,
