Twas a Full Moon Shining - Collab


Twas a full moon shining on a cool summer night
And hound dogs were howling at its silver shadowed light.
I heard but a whisper on the cool evening breeze,
Twas the voice of a woman I used to chase and tease.
 
Our love was forever, at least I used to think it so.
Then came the day she left me; I wondered, where’d she go?
If true love lasts forever, was this love not for me?
I heard an answer on the wind - Son, your true love is she.

A true love will always linger in the shadows of your heart
Even when the one you love has chosen to depart.
True love is the love you gave, no matter what the cost
It will return to you again, for it is never lost.

Like a full moon shining on a cool summer night
With placid waters glistening in its silver shadowed light
Love comes like a whisper on a cool evening breeze
A gentle touch, a soft caress, a rustle in the trees.
 
There is no bitterness in the past, if your love was true
The sweetness in the memory is true love’s gift to you
A rising sun or new full moon is not a memory
And so will love come once again, if you let it be.

Twas a full moon shining on a cool summer night
And hound dogs were howling at its silver shadowed light
I heard but a whisper on the cool evening breeze,
Twas the voice of love’s song...answering my pleas.

The Meaning of Life


Through life...I've learned the meaning of love.
Through love...I've felt the feeling of heartbreak.
Through heartbreak...I've felt the feeling of pain.
Through pain...I've learned the meaning of acceptance.
Through acceptance...I've learned the meaning of forgiveness.
Through forgiveness...I've learned the meaning of faith.
Through faith...I've learned the meaning of life.

We are all important in life...
We all have a purpose in life...
Now all we have to do is...
Make every purpose count...

~Life~
 Is a learning experience

~Life~
 Is a state of existence that belongs to the soul

~Life~
Is the true meaning of meaning

~Life~
 Is the state of something significant,and of great importance

~Life~
 Is what is intended to be or is

~Life~
 Has a beginning,a purpose, and an end...

A Crystalline Moment


Cloudy was the morning on which I had awoke,
not a bird was heard chirping, nor a single word heard spoke.
My eyes were then opened to what no one often sees,
as if a veil had been lifted, with a cool summer breeze.

Nothing was moving not a single leaf in the trees,
or a single blade of grass, as far the eye can see.
The dogs so often barking, in this moment could not be heard.
Crystalline was the moment that brought me these few words.

Within this crystalline moment, my world was standing still
this peaceful quiet moment, for me was such a thrill.
As that moment faded I felt an inner peace come from within,
a moment then gone, when the chaotic world once again began to spin.

The dogs began barking and birds were heard chirping in the trees,
leaves again began to rustle, upon another cool summer breeze.
Children were then heard yelling, as they played out in their yards
with that all to familiar sound, of so many passing cars.

Is this what the world is like, for those who cannot hear?
Do the subtle sounds they think they hear, tend to strike them with a fear?
I will have to ask my brother who was born partially deaf,
then let him know in a way, he may have been born partially blessed

A Gentle Kiss


A gentle kiss,
 that I really must send
To another true,
 and very dear friend
Pucker up babe,
it's coming your way
And riding a storm,
so it should be there today
I licked my lips before I blew,
 so I know it's going to stick
But with all the lightning,
it might have a little kick
So when it hits your lips,
 it might give off a little spark
Now what started off as a gentle kiss,
 might be leaving you in the dark

Will You Be There


A day without thoughts
 another sleep without dreams.
A love filled heart beating slowly
 that holds love above all things.

My mind searches for repentance
 as love floats above all the earth.
I wait for it to begin to rain down
 giving all life some meaning and worth.

Distraught, sad and somber
 still pretending to hold a smile.
Unable to happily hold it
 as it fades after a short while.

The world that I envisioned
 was to be better then what we now have.
To grow stronger,more forgiving and together
 without spite, greed and murder that leaves us sad.

As lifes final days draw near us all
 when Gods will shall finely be done.
Hoping to see you all in heaven
 where we might all meet as one.

A Soul With Dreams


I would like to show you something
That your eyes can not see
It will give you a sense of feeling
Allowing your thoughts to run free
I want you to look within yourself
Only as a simple earthly being
Look into your heart for passion
Where destiny fulfills your dreams

We are here to gain enlightenment
That we may pass onto others
Not to fill this world with hate
Nor to judge one another
Through this forever endless search
Of needless earthly things
We can choose faith,hope and love
To surpass all earthly dreams

It matters not the type of pillow
You may lay your head upon
A gift of love was given to all
That shall forever carry on
Never worship those who enlighten you
Only the true creator of all things
For with his gift of a soul within us
He communicates through our dreams

Shadows-Collab


Our shadows were so restless
As we passed from room to room
They pretended to be living
But each within their tomb

Shrinking a little bit each day
As the sun shown bright above
With them a piece of our love slipped away
Out on our quest for love

The days of our younger shadows
Dancing in each days light
Love,and laughter floating on the breeze
Until day turned into night

Slowly burdened by lifes troubles
Our shadows could dance no more
Only to become darkend spots
Fading away on the floor

Now death's time,and space have taken you
Leaving me only memories of your face
The shadow that was once part of you
Is now gone without a trace

The Toilet

At times my words feel like turds
                                      In a forever flushing toilet of life
                                      Some days after releasing them
                                      My mind still  doesn't  feel  right
                                      Butt  wiped onto  paper they go
                                      Then typed into this toilet of life
                                      As  they spin  around  the  bowl
                                  I notice something doesn't smell right
                                           It must be time to clean
                                             This forever flushing
                                                  Toilet of life 
                                                   Allowing me
                                                     Words of
                                                     Freshness 
                                                 And new turds 
                                              To flow with delight

Just a Kiss


Once again the sun fades into the distant sky
I gaze up at the stars to imagine the twinkle in your eye
Though a sunset for me, is a sunrise for you
It's at this time each day my heart is feeling blue
Together are hearts are one, yet half a world apart
I know that shooting star is filled with love from within your heart
With a full moon slowly rising overhead into the nights sky
May it be a sunrise of beauty for you, as it kisses the morning sky

My Fair Maiden


I called upon yonder window
That was up to high for me to be
For my maiden gracefully sleeps there
In her bed,beside the sea

I asked her to come hither
For her beautiful face I yearned to see
Twas yawning in the morning dew
As she slowly came to the window for me

To my amazement came forth a ragged wench
Whos hair was as raged as the sea
With eyes that were burnt as nightposts
To bloodshot and squinty to even see

For this was not my fair maiden?
Whos beauty would forever be
But a drunken harlot who came hither
That she spent the night with instead of me

My heart now broken to pieces
Wondering how could this tragedy be?
For my maiden now sleeps with a harlot?
Without the love that she once gave to me?

My mind was now enraged
So I dashed for the wrestling sea
With thoughts of drowning this useless body
That's no longer good enough for my maiden to see

With water just over waist height
And a large wave about to crash over me
I heard a calling from yonder window
Twas my beautiful maiden as I turned to see

Her beautiful eyes in such distress
Her beautiful hair flowing so care free
Twas the beauty of my fair maiden
That I had called upon yonder window to see

For the thoughts that raced through my mind
Evidently,weren't truely what happend to be
For it was her promiscuous sister
Who had come from the other side of the sea

My heart now rebuilt with a sigh of love
A large wave suddenly crashes over me
The last thing I saw was my fair maiden
As my lifeless body is carried out by the sea
