A Haunting in Alabama
...I found you.
From the floorboards, to the trunk, to the stairs, to my table, you shambled. Howling and bleeding.

My Child,
I Need You to Realize, When the Storms of Life Threaten Security

Diplomatic Dancing
...I danced with an Alien
At the Diplomat’s Summer Ball

And thirty six naked toes?
Trying to be graceful ...

I Wandered Lonely As a Rose

I wandered lonely as a rose by Autumn's gate
as I lay there in still repose, petals strewn

New Mercies
...I’m out here in the wilderness.
I’m baffled, Lord, and in distress.
My heart is downcast, troubled, gray:

That’s how I feel, th...

She Broke Him
...After breaking his heart,
His love turned into hate,
All that is left is her scent,
He let go of her sweetheart,
Though it's so hard to forget,
A love story came to naught.
Trembling with alo...

The Sky Was Blue That Day
...That day was my last
It took my soul away
The sky turned dark
I was led astray.
The sky rained ashes and

The Bridie Price of An Unfortunate Lady
...THE BRIDIE PRICE OF AN UNFORTUNATE LADY

A pilot stood aghast

The Throne
...When in my heart I feel a shade
And I see that darkness blend into a grey.
When a soul corrupts from spite and hate
When all they are is led astray, one kind act.
May be our tomorrow's sorrows ...
