TonightI want tonight to be the night
The one that we keep insight
A forever moment cherished in time
The work is done, and the hill is climbed
One special evening with you cradled in my arms
I’ve fallen for your unique and beautiful charms
Now I need to show you my light inside
From a heart that nearly died
You are my...

Susie Q’s NightmareAs the world unfurls
In REMbrandt's muddy pastel
Little Susie curls her knees
right on cue, credence that
there's clear water here, a
revival of Hawkins and
Burton's swamp spell
When I tried to leave her
dream, she called back:
'Freddy, come save me'
I know that it's cruel to
replace her, though her
night terrors are negotiated,
I awaken her fears...

Assisted StarsStars watch me in my sleep
Sleep in the endless deep
Deep dark swallows my soul
Soul beaten in the dark so full
Full of nothing, just a simple void
Void wins, my light destroyed
Destroyed light but not my wisdom
Wisdom gives greater clarity than any other system
System gone, but not my understanding
Understanding now, void has no standing
Standing with no body,...

Nights draw inWe harvest all we can
to last us through winter
Glance at the majestic moon
and make a wish with her
Magical things happen
as her rays beam down
a soft side of night
cuddles us close
Dreams come in quietly
holding us nearer
We stop to reflect
on things gone by
The nights get shorter
the air carries a chill
which we wrap up against
Now's the...

The Night is BeautifulEach chapter of the night tells a story,
Each moment it arrives offers insight,
Each time it prevails brings out the light within us,
Its duration unravels mysteries.
The night closes the door to daylight,
Which transforms us into fighters and gladiators.
We emerge from obscurity,
Harnessing the fading light.
The...

in the night
...the dew clings to
your arms, to
your hair, like
forgotten alleys
dreaming of lovers'
embraces
giving birth to the
light, - the dew
remained trapped
on my hips,
...in the
night the
stars are falling
in our eyes,
there is no room for tears,

May I return when nights comeMay I return when nights come
And off the furious outside mind
And lit beams inside of some kinds
They sparkle calmness as seeds sprout
And shine as the moonlit torches the soul
I am sure of these moments of aliveness
As bright as the crystallized world of unseen
ln a sudden mode, hilarious could...

The Moulin Rouge at Night
The Moulin Rouge at Night
At night, the Moulin Rouge bursts into life
with orchestrated music and bright lights,
where singers and cancan dancers excite
audiences who applaud them with delight,
and is a splendid place to patronize
for entertainment when in Paris, France,
where, by happenstance, people may unite
seeking merriment or discrete romance.

Bright Twinkling Star Of The NightBright twinkling star of the night,
you validate that we have sight.
From Source you shine on every land,
It’s the Source that created man.
Just as your light keeps on burning,
Source gives man a mind discerning.
A mind that also keeps on learning,
sharing truth to feed our yearning.
Is it possible we are light?
Will the Source give us an insight?
Blink...

Carnival LightsBeneath the sky’s deep purple hue,
Music calls, the laughter too;
Wheels turn slow, the lights all spin,
And pull us gently further in.
The air smells sweet with candy threads,
With buttered corn and warm baked breads;
A carousel of painted dreams,
It ripples on the moonlit streams.
I watch your eyes in neon glow,
They shine in ways you may not know;
The...

Light exposes nightShining lights reveal the night,
Exposing wrong from right,
Often they'll try to bite,
Evade them with hindsight.
Hold tight to you,
That authentic view,
Always stay true,
To what you love to do.
Shining like a diamond,
To all who come through.
This path was meant for you,
Create something new,
Using the tools given to you.
