Hero

No man is a god, fit to worship 
There are no gods among fools of men 
There are no men of honour 
For it truly is a dying breed 
That poet's still remember 
And in there words our hope lives 
Neither memory nor dream,  
Forgotten rules of courtesy. 
For truth and beauty, 
Hope and grandeur. 
Questioning of mans belief’s 
Regardless of race or creed.
And still the genteel poets wonder 
Where have the men of honour gone? 
Who let them fade away?
Replaced by self seekers, 
Greed and strife, 
Truly for that is all it seems, 
That survived our hero's plight

One Night Surrender

My darling little one 
I love you, only you, always you.
Don’t hate me for falling in love,
I didn’t plan to 
It just kind of happened 
I realized awhile ago 
That I was falling
But hoped to ignore it
Then before I knew it 
You were there, 
Just like you belonged. 
In my head, my heart,
You are my next breath 
And the dream that haunts 
My every waking hour 
The song that fills my life with music 
You’re the lover I never knew 
You’re the sun, the moon, the stars,
That guides my weary soul 
You’re the hope, the dream, that I can be, 
I can be everything 
The knowledge that plays upon my mind 
That there’s so much more to life 
And I’ve found it here in your arms 
And I surrender 
But not you, not to me,
I surrender to the promise in your kiss 
In what lies between us at night 
I surrender to my love for you.
