The wages of sin are death
Yet I am dying for you
Dream lover you’re the best
Even if I never find you
You allow me to thrive
My heart fueled by your idea
Smiles from ebony eyes
With hopes to hold you near
I feel uncertain of my fate
That I should ever be yours
But despite I dream of days
We will be together in the Lord
Butterflies ballet in the garden
Red roses bloom this June
I long for sinful pardon
As I desire and hope for you
Be my mahogany muse today
Keep me in safe in heart
Like blue bird I’ll fly away
When love in our soul starts

Never spoke
About the things
I can do or would do
Always told you
About what I've done
Some right and some wrong.
I never let my flaws
Weigh me down
Right from birth
Right from my mother's womb
I've been striving for authenticity not perfection
Not letting my imperfections take over me.
Like my mother
Never neglected me
Amidst my imperfections
She knows my battles
Always correcting my wrongs
Sometimes by war or with love.

Delicate heart of mine I served silver plattered,
As I watched it get sundered and shattered,
I thought it swayed your palate gladder,
But you said it could flavor a little better.

Lousie Anne vacillated between the two
Loved both men, Charlie and Drew
Her ideas were on full teeter-totter
One was her fire, the other her water
Fiddle faddle and wobbly wee
What on earth should her decision be?
Worse yet, the two men were related
They met when they double dated
Why don’t you look for earth? Said her mother.
Or wind, said her brother. Or wind, said her brother.
Louise Anne still did not know what to do
So, she ran off to be alone in Kalamazoo
There she met Jimmy, her earth and Beau, her wind.
A woman who fell in love with love, where to begin?

Dress a girl a letter,
Printing numbers on her back.
Buy her flowers,
Give her powers,
Wrapping poison round her neck.
One day she’ll leave you,
She’ll deceive you,
And you’ll be better off dead.
So, you won’t get far with that head
Unless you break your neck
And yet you still ask to the sun
If the moon has won,
If the war has really ended
Or it's just begun.
So you’ll dress a girl a letter,
And print numbers on her neck.
Steal her powers,
Buy her flowers,
Say she’s better off dead.
Oh, you’ll deceive her,
But believe her,
When she’s messing with your head.
Ignore the blood beneath her nails ,
because you pay for them instead.
But the wars already won,
It was done and fun,
You were caught between a victory, a romance and a gun.
So when you pull your head together from the cracks beneath the earth
Steal her flowers
She’s deflowered
Push her back against the world
The war was won
And you are done
You are both swimming in your hurt
And then your hand reached for the gun.

A starry sky at night, above
With sleepy eyes I count with love
As fireflies sing sweet, a song
Black canvas high, for you I long
I hope to dream of you and I
Eager soul I wish to find.

For all that I make for you's
Handmade with love

With love
The kind that lasts
The kind that doesn't hurt
The kind that builds
The kind that will always be there and be felt
I don't want to sound desperate but it's the
first beautiful kind of love in years of living
It's the first kind of warmth ever to be felt

Your warm touch turns me a blossoming flower
Your love lit eyes hold the depth of an ocean
Your presence, a soft caress in my bower
May I stay by you in endless devotion.
Through trials of life, you stand like a tower.
In life, you’re careful to proceed with caution.
With daring, you face the challenges of life.
Happy and contented I am as your wife.
With each passing year, our love steadily grows.
With every breath, our intimacy strengthens.
My dear, in your company, I feel so close
Even in darkness, our love blooms and brightens.
Life, through trials and joy, like a river, flows.
When you are by my side, my burden lightens.
You are not just my partner, but my close friend.
All I wish is that our deep love should not end.

If I'm not allowed to fall,
I can't learn to walk
Through peace with falling,
I rise again in strong faith
When I climb a mountain,
I see its lowest point
By peace with the lowest points,
all fears dissipate
Even while traveling,
I long to stand still
Thanks to such stops,
the journey feels more intense
Deep below my strength
I sense there is softness
Thanks to that softness,
much stronger I am
Do I choose to shine,
it illuminates what seems dark,
not remembered and
overlong unseen,
When I embrace with love,
everything that once fell
returns to a state
of purity
And just as I stand still,
I long to travel
Thanks to the traveling,
my path unfolds before me
Narrow but passable,
enlightened by love,
so if I do fall again?
Then I can only fall…
very softly

Every day my nerves are shot
From the aching in my heart
Caused by the hostility
Between all humanity
Why is everyone so vengeful
Times the only way to tell
If we can turn hate away
A little bit more each day
Until we wake up and find
A world that is caring and kind
Full of love that doesn't fade
Look at what we could create
If everyone took a piece
Of there heart -- let it release
A rainbow full of colored faith
Making this world a better place

faith any, shaky are its roots
they but talk of forbidden fruits
let head and heart act hand in glove
beliefs are fickle, stay with love
end anger, envy, hate and lust
heed voice of conscience and paths just
hark the tidings of the peace dove
beliefs are fickle, stay with love
exit the web of dark desire
feel within heart, God’s sacred fire
drop ego, give it a last shove
beliefs are fickle, stay with love
we’re living light, our claim to fame
rekindled now, in life’s end game
God’s blessings pour in from above
beliefs are fickle, stay with love
