through the night
one more moon
one more chance
for the blue nightingale

They lay down finally and die
Generations flow
They are the rivers of life
Move forward and multiply...

Slowly I lay down
upon a bed of petals,
So soft and so strong;
Blissful perennial joy,
Smile, remember all year long...

Buried it's forehead
To your heat.
The body lay down.
I'm about to snap,
And love will spread my stomach,
By Infinity....

The race to replace 
The Chosen disgrace
With bombs versus swords
They’re deaf to the hordes

So lay down your pen
It’s Never again

Green quill glides down from gray sky
Sweet song sung soft on branch high 
Is she cried for her lost love?
While he lay down, a grave sigh....

My Heart Wounded
Eyes glisten heartless;
These days I think whispers fade,
In my heart wounded.
Lost memories lay down now;
A blown kiss lost in silence......

Baby if you want our love to last
You got to lay down the ghost
And learn to leave behind the past
Or it will swallow you like a willing host...

Love Thy Neighbour
The wife wandered out in the nude
So our neighbour thought he'd intrude
They lay down to dine
à la 69
You'd think neither one had tried food!...
