Fighters,
Fight until the bitter end.
Don`t try to figure out some trend,
don`t freely enemies befriend,
Mixed messages must not send....

all the trouble 
that it took to

Mushroom bunny was a high stepper for sure
She was dancing a Celtic jig, and it was so pure
I loved her instantly, glad she chose to be my friend.
We were besties for a season, until her bitter end....

Not alive enough to die…
lost between a heartbeat 
and the bitter end
His spirit wept for 
tomorrow
and for yesterday
Mourning all the 
buried visions
—of what might have been

I am a woman 
a player 
a saivior 
a friend 
I am a mom
a warrior to the bitter end 
I am a lover
that bends all my needs
i am a singer 
that needs to breath
i am a lion 
that cant be tamed
i have  many names 
but I 
am a woman...

While you’re around he pretends to be with you until the bitter end. He never intended to honor his words, nor carry you through thick and thin, to have your back or be your friend. And when at last the spell is broke, Turn around...Take a second look........

Ghastly voices I hear in the night shrieking
Hallowed death unexpected has struck my friend
Only a month hence we were speaking,
     Who knew soon would come a bitter end
     Someday, he and I need no longer pretend.

You're here for me when no one else could be
You loved me even when I was wrong
You're mine till the bitter end
Everyone wants you but you chose me instead
I'll love you no matter what
You're my baby and they can't that away

For my baby Ed Owens. . . I love you baby!...

Such remorse,
Of course,
He thought
   The words just came out flowing;
No sight
Beyond tonight,
He fought -
   Without him even knowing.
Regret -
He was dead set
Against
   Defending what they’re showing.
Revenge
A bitter end,
He taught
   To mouth’s he thought were crowing....

T’was in the dead of night I wandered
drifting lonely as a log.
Down the river I meandered
without a friend, on through the fog.
While I staggered to my bitter end
I thought of you, waiting around the bend.

Find me at the bitter end,
Of the darkest stories that’s ever been told

Waiting….Longing,
For your gentil aura to slay me with your light.
And there I shall remain.
Trapped in a blissful mirage, 
More real than the stories I’ve lived and many more told.

Being... Finally.
Finally, being....

 The blinding swirl
  The empty passage

My shadow will always be my friend

until my bitter end

my shadow will never judge me for who i am

for a darkened day will always fall

for my heart will always crawl

there is no love waiting on that beautiful sea shore

All Souls Night


O the ghastly wind
Rattles the bones of the dead
Look not in mirrors


Lock your doors and hide
Spirits dance and laugh in glee
Fear their only food


Tempt your fate with treats
Trade your soul for just one bite
Bitter end tonight

What Crises

It's Just like always
the rich got richer and the poor got poorer
but soon comes the time for change
when the poor ole working man will take a stand
against the wealthy that own the land
and I'm sure it will happen time and again
at least until the bitter end
my freind
at least until the bitter end...

Splintered light adourns the grimaced sky
Below stone golems bow in reverance
Timeless relics reaching from earth driven binds
To touch the prismed light in flight
Silent stones that whisper 
like children in the corn
Praising the light that died with time
and slowly cradles the chiselled tears
of natures bitter end...

Life is a puzzle
Where pieces don't always fit
No box to keep order
With pictures on it
With some pieces missing
As life is unkept
But that you won't find
Till the bitter end
We continue to try
And fit the pieces right
Frayed at the edges
More loose than tight 
Working it out
As hard as we might
Building this puzzle
That we call life...

Political Damage

When minds contend
must each depend
on delivering cuts
that may never mend?

When ideas offend
do each then defend
their hurtul slings
to the bitter end?

When words betray,
can they then defray
the heavy costs
of the public's dismay?

When platforms collide
does each then divide
into tattered shreds,
comity denied?...

Breath of life in a forlorn one,
uplifted face to brace the wind,
called His name with prayer to send.
Forgive me! I have come undone.
I lost my way, now moribund,
and all I’d hoped was to ascend.
