The abstracts of Pablo Picasso
I think his paintings are a fiasco.
For every one I see
They're always upside down to me....

ride down to me
down from the mountains
rest your head

sleep beside
my burning fire
rescue me

with the light of dawn
you will be gone
a memory...

You will answer
To my orders,
You will abide
I am your warder.
Do as I say
And never oppose
Lest we turn 
From lovers to foes
I won't bend
 As you will see
I'll have you
Bowing down to me....

It went right over my head,
My brain is surely dead,
Too much bull I've been fed,
Now I'm seeing red

So, please talk down to me,
That's the only way I'll see,
What you want me to know,
Because my brain is slow....

Oh, come in the dark of night,
   come in the silence of a dream,
come with sweet kisses that delight,
   flow down to me on a moon beam,
      come my love to dry my tears,
for I have wept for years and years....

All those dancers and cheerleaders
Dealers and losers
Faint hearts and beacons

Before me
Its Up to me, down to me

I may resume the matter
hurtling footsteps
Sir Lancelot  waiting
working out the price of time
Derange all boundaries again...

Fly down to me
If you will dare
Down from your stair
Of sky

Reach out to me
If you will care
To touch a soul
So blind

Call out to me
If you can see
My fettered heart’s
Disguise

Come sit with me
If you can spare
A moment of
Your time....

I sit upon my horse and dream
and watch a leaf fall from the tree.
It flutters by in sunlit beam.

I sit upon my horse and dream
as leaves drift down into the stream,
which hustles past toward the sea.

I sit upon my horse and dream
and watch a leaf fall down to me....

Reaching down to me

You sealed me with love* divine…

Lord, I’m yours; You're mine.

*2Thessalonians 3:5 “…The Lord direct your hearts into the love of God…”

I think of you
In these lonely hours
What brought us together
Must be higher powers
Dreaming of you
Until these tears devour me
Now that you’ve shown me your love
There must be a heaven above
‘Cuz you are my angel
Sent down to me
Inside of my heart
You’ll always be
You’re part of me
You’re my destiny...

What are you to me?
I am en kindle earth.
You are abysmal sky.
I feel your shadow.
You enjoy my fragrance.
I face your anger thunderbolt.
you drench my thirst.
I adore you.
I endear you.
I respire of you.
You're rudiment of me.
I can never stretch to you.
You can never stoop down to me.
What are you to me?...

I try to 
Hide away.
So I no longer
Can you hear scream at me 
No longer can hear you 
Talk down to me.
Screaming in my face
Like the monster 
You are.
Trying to break 
Me down.
Till there's nothing left.
And you feel like you have won
Thinking your bigger
then me.
Cause I'm smaller.
And your stronger
Then I am...

Brother worry,
Sister rain,
Mother darkness,
Father pain.

You can pick your friends,
But not your family,
How did this begin?
Handed down to me.

When will the sun return?
Looking for the light,
Hanging on,
Until my world is right.

Searching for relief,
How did my darkness start?
The day you left me,
And broke my heart....

The Girl I met and fell in love with
Was not the one I ended up with

As she changed!

But that was maybe down to me and was definitely not you
So maybe I should somehow take a clue

And promise I won't change at all
Until we, us that is, both fall

In love together forever
Or until I make myself a fool

Yet Again...

Things of disgust.
Terror in my eyes.
Behold your power.
Your smartass replies.

I'm beneath you.
Look down on me.
I know it free's you.
The power you hold over me.
I'm beneath you.
Talk down to me.
I don't believe this.
The power you had over me.

Things of disgust.
The fear above my head.
Behold your character.
The bringer of dread....

My hearts desire to see You
To be always by Your side
My Precious Jesus, I need You
This is my hearts desire...
I want to feel Your presence
I want to hear Your voice
Come down to me from heaven
Or take me up before Your throne.
I am so in love with You my Jesus
You are my only hope
There is nothing else as pleasing
As to worship You and adore.

On the wing
of summer’s wind,
my kite -
an apple red -
darts beyond its string
above me
as I
follow it.
Freely
it soars! Then
abruptly
it slows, forgetting
who holds the string; now it
draws
nearer down to me!

Who will love the troubled souls
With which this world abounds
These broken, tragic, fragile folks
Once lost then seldom found

Didn't they have hopes and dreams
And lots of things to say? 
But somewhere in the mists of time
They seemed to lose their way

Yet if they got help they need 
I wonder who they'd be
So who will love the troubled souls?
I guess that's down to me...

He came hands down, to me, 
knowing him,Is A blessing, as he,
drew me in, Lusciously, So
proud to say he is "MINE," An Angel of 
Heaven, I wear his HALO, pure 
as gold, hand n' hand, I love 
him throu n' throu, In depth 
with my heart, And soul, I bare 
his strength to carry me, with 
his almighty "KING,"Where he 
crowned, Me his "QUEEN,,,"
Above heavens "GATE.."

I have had many gifts
Throughout my life
But none can be compared to the one's
That was handed down to me, from the one above
Gifts so awesome
Gifts so rare
Something I can hold
That is truly dear.

A Daughter so kind
That is one of a kind
A Son so determine
Not to be his mother everyday burden
Treasures so unique
Children so sweet
These are the treasures
We should cherish and keep....

while the stars gentle glow melts away my fears
there is a sense of hope despite the worst tears
the joy of each sunrise echoes through my soul
soothing the last ache that the darkness stole

while the breathless prayers are spoken humbly
there is a shadow of despair who blows numbly
remembering the day before I knew God is love
blessings poured down to me from heaven above
