I swear the timer just said 10 more minutes
Time to put my happy face on

With fluoride issued toothpaste and
Wipe your butt with bleached...

Watch the sun appear
On this Solstice clear
Over Stonehenge monoliths.
Sing the sacred song
Honoring the throng
Of the ancient spirit’s gifts.

Let the sun stand still
As we feel the thrill
Of Midsummer’s energy.
Summer has begun
Now our hearts are one
As we...

Tell me truth today, I won't flinch.

I've noticed your smile with a wink;
Yes, your gesture made me to think;
Should I not take it as infringe?

Is it an emotional binge?
Can't...

With every touch, a part of me died.
Now I am in a prison that has no gate,
Every one of them, sealing my fate.
The lashes of life, you may not see,
Just by looking at me.

Vanishing in the darkness,
as i plead for some light,
the sun has gone away and now isn't so bright,
so pitch black rooms are filling me around,
I clunch my hands,
Making a fist,
Holding this anger in,
Pretending Your right...

You look like a child,
Sitting there with a glare on your face,
Frowning at what will soon become our past,

Acting out,
Speaking harsh words,
Making me feel like not a penny i'm wroth,

Lifting your hand,
To smack me once...

Lying in your arm's,
Let me breath the air,
And that smell

These wrothless eye's,

Love In Return
I fell in love with you
But you played with me
You gave me just enough attention
To push me away
I  took it as play
And yet I loved you
But you didn't love me back

Hung on the cross with His Life on earth done.

Rebuilding lives if sincerely we pray.

When He rebuilds a life no...

Under the Stars

The cobalt sky has many eyes;
they're brightest just before sunrise
as starlight.

Sprinkled amidst the indigo
we stop to let the sandman sow
his stardust.

Glittering `cross the peaceful night
we view a shooting star take flight;
we're starstruck.

The sky...

Lil white flakes falling to the ground,
Covering the dead roses all around.
Healing the wounds left by your knife,
Salvation for the poor, mourning girl's life.

Petals fall like dust from a forsaken angel's wings;
Beautiful like the song...

In summer as in spring, 
In winter or in autumn time,

Low clouds or fog or mist,

I have a passion for cherry Jello
Can't ever get enough
With large amounts of Reddi Wip
Oh what glorious stuff

With flowing flaxen hair
Well okay maybe once in a while
