Eyes Closed

Drifting between unreality and death
Ten seconds longer, now I need to catch my breath
To make me shudder, to make me sigh
You're getting so good
So gentle but so persuasive
And now I've even begun to cry
How does it feel to know you have such control
Such a tight grip, your hand over my soul
You're deliberate but not demanding
I'm disintegrating in your arms
Paralyzed but still moving
Listening to everything you're commanding
As I'm drifting between unreality and death
I'm caressed and ultimately possessed...

Childhood Path

Down along a childhood path
Our noses tipped in red
I heard a voice, young and innocent that said,
“Come along down the childhood path.”

The crisp, cool air stung our faces
As we passed all those wondrous places
Looking again through eyes
In which fascination never dies.

Hand in hand we walked along the childhood path
Our laughter echoing through the trees
Our misty breath that could be seen
As we raced against the childhood path. 

The race was over and I looked around
There was something I knew couldn’t be found.
Where went our bright eyes,
Our age, imagination and size? 

I looked over my shoulder at the childhood path
I was walking forward but looking behind
Then I felt a small hand in mine…
“Walk along with me on the childhood path.”

Death of a Star

It seemed so long ago, my star was born
Pure white brilliance, blinding and warm
A beauty unrivaled by queens and kings
Even more fair than Saturn's rings

Pulled into orbit against my will
I was shaken and given more than my fill
There I was plucked from my Pleiades
Lightened and darkened and brought to my knees

So when did it all go so wrong
The starting of a mighty collision
Who silenced the sonorous song
And first foresaw this asteroidal vision

Was it Sagittarius's sharp arrow
Or Electra, my own sister star
Do I dare pick up the nebular bow
And battle this fearsome quasar

The galaxies began at once to collide 
Gravitationally turned with nowhere to hide
My clear, radiant star fought at my right arm
Struggled and warred to inflict lasting harm

But the loathsome rival was too strong
The fray too immense, too harsh and too long
Luminosity of my star was brighter than the sun
And then came the explosion, the evil deed was done

It seemed so long ago, my star was born
Pure white brilliance, blinding and warm
A beauty unrivaled by queens and kings
Even more fair than Saturn's rings

Now I'm iced over, my flame turned blue
I'm moved aside and left in the view
Swallowed and shadowed, mourning my star's dark death
Left in its place, a black hole loved nonetheless.

The Grave of the Mariner

A mariner went a'pon the sea
To find his fair lass a pearl
So he in grand fettle 
Gathered his mettle 
And let his ship's sails unfurl

No able for the deed so tough
The mariner would pey the mail
So he all alone
Would find no stone
And his venture would truly fail

Ye go on the bash
O mariner, so doomed
And enjoy one day a'last
It's a cadger's curse
And your anchor's been cast
For by the sea ye'll be entombed

The mariner set his net afloat
For the maiden of the sea he lied in wait
She'd have to come soon 
And he'd have his boon
Aye, a pearl to his lass afore it's too late

He hadn't spied nary a one
When he heard a lullaby tune
He looked down in the deep
For the nymph of the sea
To see where to thrust his harpoon

“Wull ye no byde a wee?” sang she
Luring the poor mariner along
He climbed over the aft
Leaving his raft
Enchanted by her devilish song

So it's aw by nou
O mariner so doomed
For this day shall be your last
It's a cadger's curse
And your anchor's been cast
And by the sea ye'll be entombed

It'll be yon tyme afore
He'll see his bonny lass again
For he sank down to his grave 
'Neath sea, wind and waves 
So was the tale of the seaman

Feeling sorry for her deed
The singing maiden did pay
A parting gift 
Upon his dead lips
A pearl formed of her tears was layed 

And so was the daith
Of the mariner thus doomed
A pearl for his lass
Would ne'er be seen
Since this day was his last 
When his anchor was cast
And by the sea was he entombed

Engage Me

To kiss every star
With a whispered word from afar
Would not be enough
If I pulled off each petal red
From every rose bed
It would not amount to as much
To swim to the bottom of the sea
To search for every grain of sand beneath me
I could never prove to you how vast
Has grown my adoration
Nor how long it would last
This overwhelming fascination
If I could shout from the mountains as loud
As the intensity felt from my vow
I would not have voice powerful enough
If I could sing for as long
As I wanted... to continue this song
There wouldn't be lyrics enough
To write every word in order to explicate
It would never quite demonstrate
For I love you more than all of this
More than all the rest
And I hope only that I can show you
When you ask and I say yes

A Roach Will Encroach

Ralph the roach
Is of a devilish kind
He will forever encroach
Upon all that he finds

He will sample your food
When you're not aware
He will think you rude 
If you don't want to share

He loves to sneak around 
Surprise is his favorite game
He won't make a sound
To scare you is his aim

He waits on the ceiling
As you take your shower
He grins in excited feeling
Ready to make you cower

Then he launches himself down
As you scream and slip on the soap
You see his flash of brown
And throw your shampoo bottle, feeling like a dope

You grab the shower curtain
Trying not to fall
If you got him, you're not certain
You're really quite appalled

Suddenly he runs through your feet
And you do a crazy dance
He will never admit defeat 
He will surely escape if he has the chance!

You throw your washrag at him
Your conditioner and towel too
It seems the little beast can swim
Though you try to drown him, shouting, “Shoo!”

By then water is spraying everywhere
And Ralph the roach is laughing in glee
It's become such a nightmare
As he takes the opportunity to flee

But one day he'll return
Why would he leave a place so fun?
He knows you'll never learn 
That a roach's job is never done!

Deveined

It all started with an ember
A tiny whisper, a slow fire
The beginning blaze
Of just one gaze 
Would leave me forever changed

Started off so good
You stood by me so long
So fatefully fingered 
Such a calloused little angler
You've become 

And so my power wanes but you don't care
Leave the growing stains from the wounds you make
Eating out my hollowed remains
And pouring out all I've restrained
Not pleading doubt
I'm bleeding now
Can't stand this drain
Just void and deveined

What once was right
Is a fight, is a curse
The screaming abuse
And a shortened fuse
Is all we have to lose

Ended up so bad
You've left me now so fast
So fatally handled
Blistered and battled
You are

And so my power wanes, you just don't care
Leave the growing stains from your piercing hate
Carving out my hollowed remains
And raining out all I've restrained
My pleading shout
I'm just bleeding out
Can't stand this drain
Just void and deveined

Can't stand this drain
You've left me insane
I'm void and deveined

Wrong, Sir

You’re always here with me
Yet you’ve not heard a word I’ve said
I’ve forgotten how to just be
Can’t you get out of my head?

All I want to do is think
And all I feel is dread
You appear in just a blink
Just please get out of my head.

You’re here
You’re there
And at the same time nowhere.
I can’t take it much longer
If only I were stronger
I’d force you from my thoughts 
Can’t you see it’s just wrong, sir?

There is no escape
Even late at night in my bed
It’s something I’ve begun to hate
I just can’t get you out of my head.

I brush my hair
I go to work
I worry about what I wear
You make me feel stupid
To embarrassment I’ve been led
Yet I don’t even know what I did
Just get out of my head!

You’re here
You’re there
And at the same time nowhere
I can’t take it much longer 
If only I were stronger
I’d force you from my head
It’s all just so wrong, sir.

The Big Fight

He walks in and tries to kiss her
But she turns the other cheek
He asks her what's wrong
She says, “Well, your breath really reeks!”
He crosses his arms
And a frown's on his face
He says she's one to talk
Because her breath's a disgrace!
Her mouth drops open
She's truly in shock
How dare he insult her
He must be dumb as a rock
Now he's really mad
His face is all red 
She started it all 
She should have just left it unsaid
She yells at him then
And says it's all his fault
He should have known she wouldn't kiss him
His breath smelled so bad, he really should have thought
“Well, excuse me for eating
My lunch this afternoon
I guess I should just starve,
I must be a buffoon!”
She huffed and turned away
He just didn't love her anymore
He used to always be thoughtful
At least he was before
He swears he still loves her
But why is she such a pain?
Must they always fight
Over things so inane?
She shouts that he's crazy 
She doesn't even understand
When he uses such big words
It's more than she can withstand!
He laughs at her then
And shouts that inane isn't a big word
But just tell him how to talk
Just tell him what she preferred
She cries, “I just want you to love me!”
He says, “I do, I really do!”
She asks if he promises
And he nods and crosses his heart too
She smiles finally
So he says, “Then a kiss I will sneak,”
But she turns away
And says, “But your breath really reeks...”

Do I Belong?

Why does logic tell me its right
When everyone says it’s wrong
How can I make a decision
For what have I been fighting this long
If it’s all just to come undone
Can I really cut it off
Cut it out
And leave it behind
Is it right or is it wrong
Just tell me please, do I belong?

Its happening to me again
This ugly panic and fear
Untruths have at last been revealed
You’re making me cry these wasted tears
If I’m worth nothing anymore
Just tell it once to me now
Here and now
I’ll be on my way
 Am I worth something to you still
Or have you forgotten what you feel?

Now you’ve said you’re going to stay
Make up your mind
Indecision is death-dealing
I don't know if I can call you mine
If you keep scaring me this way
Decide once and for all
Now and for all
Do you still love me a bit
Or should we give up and call it quits?
