Withered Rose

I left you out in the winter
watched you shiver from the cold
beauty silently fading
soon you turned the withered rose

Tears freezing as they flowed
for my love you pleaded
a face of pain and desperation
your cries I left unheeded

Now my conscience is never ending
how could i have been so cruel
my flower of beauty
I truly put an end to you

The Midnight Moon

Sounding in the distance
I hear the midnight moon
cutting through the darkness
A new day arriving soon

With a suitcase full of dreams
I anxiously await
A beacon of hope is coming fast
for the midnight moon is never late

All aboard is the call
I feel my spirit rejoice
time to ride the midnight moon
to the destination of my choice

Two Leaves

Two leaves dancing on a breeze
floating without a care
suddenly tangled up in passion
hearts soaring through the air

brief is the encounter
this meeting of pure chance
together tumbling in the wind
swept up in a gust of romance

fondly touching then sadly drifting apart
sailing on a whisper there separate ways
two leaves dancing on a breeze
with a memory of love on a fine fall day

A Fortunate Man

I love you like the springtime
always a welcome sight
the touch of your heart
warms my winters night

good fortune shines upon me
for some never feel a sunrise in love
waking in a sweet embrace
with a glimpse of heaven up above

truly I am grateful
for every radiant morning light
I love you like the springtime
always a welcome sight

Jack

As the grinning Randal Patrick McMurphy
he was at his best
with an unconquerable spirit
flying over the cuckoo's nest

smiling down the halls of insanity
spreading hope and desire
stirring the hearts of men
who long ago lost the fire

Matching his wits day to day
with the tyrannical nurse Ratchet
would prove his waterloo
for to his head she would wield her hatchet

though the claw of conformity steals McMurphy's grin
sadly to the jealous thief 
to his memory the symbolic sink is majestically ripped from the floor
with an unconquerable spirit
escapes his friend the Chief

Runaway Train

enjoying the sensation
thought I was in control
so powerful I felt
while pleasantly she rolled

to late before I realized
no longer could I steer
for now she owned my spirit
this journey I began to fear

my destination
I could not venture a prediction
for I was aboard a runaway train
fueled by my addiction

With Thoughts of Love

while the moon was awake
so warm was the night
with thoughts of love
we now await the morning light

our hearts smiling together
gently do we embrace
with thoughts of love
a new day we long to taste

the passion we shared
now a sweet memory
with thoughts of love
the sun is rising for you and me

Average Man

got a basic sense of decency
willing to lend a helping hand
a kindness in his heart
for principles he'll make a stand

rich he'll never be
money doesn't mean that much
tries to keep his faith
with the lord he stays in touch

he's not in any history book
was never in the plan
but leaves his mark none the less
just the average man

A Fathers Lesson

he taught me honesty
to bend the facts one should never
for the twist eventually leads to lies
then lost will be the truth
content I would be never
for with each untruth a soul slowly dies
until in death I would be viewed a liar
to dwell in misery forever
for eternity a dishonest man cries
