Tonight
I 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 Nightmare
As 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 Stars
Stars 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,...

We 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 Beautiful
Each 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...

...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, there...

May I return when nights come
May 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...

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 Lights
Beneath 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 night
Shining 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. Shine...
