The 1960's

The lava lamp glows
in a room that's otherwise dark
while the guitar of Hendrix
slices through the air
listened to by a wanna-be beatnik
getting stoned on weed
pretending not to care
and doesn't know there's a sign above him
that reads "Down with the Establishment"

My Favorite Mistake

You were never a problem
no disaster, no tears
If loving you was a mistake
you are my favorite one
I look for traces of you
in some guys I meet
then I remember your smile and kiss
and hope I'll grow in love again

Putting One Foot In Front of the Other

I’ve been walking this road 
Perhaps all by myself?
For I can’t see anyone else
I don’t know what’s ahead 
But I sure know where I’ve been
So I keep on going
No matter what happens
And whatever comes my way
I will try it out
For life is an adventure
And I will enjoy the journey
While surviving the slings and arrows
That come my way

As Long As Forever Lasts

If you listen to my heart
you might feel what I feel
if you hear what I say
you would never walk away
do you hear when I tell you
to please be my friend forever
Even though we might be far apart
could you still be there
when I need someone the most
After all we shared 
would you be there
even if we didn't last
We can still be friends
until the world ends

Winter Moon

A December romance
makes my heart leap for joy
while wearing your key around my neck
I glow underneath the warm moonlight
with apple cider in hand
wishing we could be together
I shall be patient
for I know you'll be back for me

The Maternal Instinct

The imaginary unborn
lives within my soul
It will never die
or ever get old
Yet there's a joy
that lies within
the depths of my being

Ode To Bbc Sherlock

Sherlock is at home bored.				
Quick  John, hide the gun or he’ll shoot the wall		
’cause if you don’t….the wall’s got it coming.			

I am Sherlock-Bloody-Holmes
And I am sometimes bored.
I only take on exciting cases
In the fridge experiments are stored.
My big brother Mycroft
I sometimes call “the queen”
Is the British Government
And hardly ever seen

I had to fake my death
To save all I know
I present myself to Watson
The whole restaurant got a show
He ends up punching me three times
Which wasn’t fun
Uh-oh, Moriarty’s here
Bloody heck! I’ve got no gun

My parents are ordinary
It’s a cross I have to bear
When Watson drops his jaw
I give him a good glare
Sometimes I don’t talk for hours on end
People don’t like me 
that’s ok, I’ve one good friend
I also play the violin
and Dr. Watson's my best friend!

Never Getting Married

I quit the dating life
it's full of confusion
and too much strife
as much as I search
and as far as I wander
Mr. Right is a myth
no longer to ponder!

Song of Healing

When the mourning dove cries
I open my eyes
to everything I feel
and what I see is real

It's all before me now
the fears and anguish repressed
I've got to get through it somehow
I keep remembering the horror
thinking I might feel more sorrow

Mourning dove sing your song of anguish
Mockingbird sing your song of praise
Dove keep singing your song of sorrow
You've got to face it and deal with the pain

Taking Back Mt Erebor

O what a story
your faces all gory
you went into battle
not so long ago
You must have been living
For vengeance, and not so much giving
You want your mountain back

You are homeless and poor
Smaug burned down you door
just for the fun of it
Perhaps they're not all evil
Your life is not over
there are more battles to fight
not just during the day
but also at night
and you want your mountain back

Elves you don't like
They didn't help you battle old Smaug
or battle a warg
Yet they keep you and jail you
then you're out of there in barrels
going down the rapids
All in good time
you'll have your mountain back
