Thus Shall My Soul Boast

My soul shall boast in the Lord from whom all Love flows

My tongue shall sing aloud for the goodness that shows

I will take that long way home when it comes to spending time with Him

There is this reason for the season and why I have this silly grin

I have an inside tip that when I am losing I am really in the Wind

 

I use to think I was a Romeo playing a part in a stage show

Now I see the truth that from my youth I always had a rough row to hoe

And those thorns of lonely-never-mind were my best teachers I could have ever known

There was this gem that I had to find under the bleachers of another’s stage home

 

This song I have tried to sing for so long to get the notes down before I go home

With my only hope being a candle in the storm of infidelity can I handle this sanity

I lay my head back down and I lift my hands and gently drift off into the melody of
angelic bands

Seeing all I ever have been superseded by the King that convinced me that I am all He ever
needed

 

There are different ways of knowing that there are promises that are more than ropes of sand

I only know this one song that tells us only why not how fast, how far, how long…

So in this melody I am pumping my fist to the bliss of a recovered first kiss

Everything stops moving and all my windows become doors and all my thoughts scream more
and more

 

Learning in darkness this tune that I sing and spark this ever after no matter the flatter
or disaster

The last thing I saw anything would do to bring happiness of Pure Being into view and hold
it as True!!

You Are Here Do Not Fear

I am a covering to all who are hovering in the chasm of love's last spasm, take you in and
love you like a brother and kiss you like a sister and hug you like a father and feed you
like a mother....even so was i called to this world and i am yours my love stuck,
fear-strucked little girl...I will be a light from the might of those that harm...I will
take you into my arms...molesting spirits know my Light and fear it...I am a hired gun...I
got Love's bullets...abusers run...I am like a mullet...and i am stacked business upfront
but all party and rejoicing in the back!!!

On Behalf of a Broken Heart Love Will Betray Us All

Why does my life feel staged, I loved and now I am enraged
Am I the bachelor or the bachelorette I have not figured out love yet
Why wont the rain stop falling from my eyes, they are red like sunset skies
Heaven knows I tried to find the cure for the pain but love is drowned in salty rain
I have read every book I’ve known, prayed to every god I have been shown
I am not even sure love is a place with a name, can I get there by foot, car or plane.
The moon mocks me as I cry alone under the trees, it is love that has brought me to my knees
I would say that I am headed home but I know when I get there I will be alone
Crying my soul to sleep has gotten as old as the memories of a love gone cold
If I were an ember I would be dying slowly in the snow…this pain of love you must also know
I have known of love and its wealth, now all I do is pray that love will save me from
suicidal my self
The only hug I get that comes without regret, is when I hold my arms around my own chest
The only smoothness I feel, is chocolate melting on my tongue but is it real, is this
life’s best?
Small furry animals love me with pity, for they know I am feeling soooo itty bitty
What are we if we are not in love, now is hell below, in my memory is love’s heaven like
stars above
Unreachable, clearly seen like I could touch it if this were not a terrible dream
Love is a magnet, everyone is at it, I am the master of its addicts, but sometimes I’ve
had it, up to here
Like the Messiah your lovers will deny ya, this is why the rain, my pain, continues to fall
For lovers and love will betray us all…a kiss will betray us all

Prince For a Prom Nite

Lyrical montage’

Like a sonic sensual massage

Like my Red Corvette in your garage

I Would Die 4 U

Just Take Me Wit U

Cos me without you

Is Computer Blue.

Let’s Go Crazy in the dark

Or in Paisley Park

Your Kiss is my spark

Got me Delirious

Do Me Baby I am serious

Hot Thang you got me curious

Let’s Pretend We’re Married girl

With all the Diamonds and Pearls

You the Most Beautiful Girl in the World.

We can go around it in a day

Wear nothing but a Raspberry Beret

Got no money but I will pay

Come on Glam Slam

Let’s Pop this Life and scram

I will take the place of your man

People Recreating Old Memories without the pain

When Doves Cry…it feels soft like Purple Rain

Tonight who will be Calling your Name

Got a Cinnimon Girl I call mine

Black Sweat is so tastily divine

Tonight Let’s Party Like it is 1999

Telling Tale

Telling Tale

 

I am the motion’s motion

I am the action’s action

I am the form’s formless ignition

I am the dominion in freedom

I am the king in the word kingdom

 

All I touch and all I see, all I sense with sentience

Is but a vain accomplishment of form’s decadence

I am the Soul in the eye’s reflection

I am the author of my own expectation

I am the Light from the Source

I am the verbalization of an Unseen Voice

I am the expression of the Prime Choice

 

I am the Revelation of Adonai Yeshua

The Burden Bearer, the World Creator

He is the Living Legend, our Worthy Majesty

By His will I will not bend I will only Be

 

Behold Him in His Universal Splendor

Behold Him in me, He is the Director

Behold Him in this form knowing the truth

Love has no form only the Soul can give proof

 

I have become and have always been Love’s stillness

Love’s kiss has frozen the past and future all is listless

There are no successive links in time only One link

Love is unbounded, I give up the urge to continue to think

I breathe without effort, I believe without effort

I accept without consideration, I accept the proffered port

I enter the realm of peace and sacred stillness within

For the kingdom is within and doubt of it is the only sin

Home In Your Scars

How shall I ignore the more
for the less
I come here needy and sore
ready to confess
 
Build me a home in your scars
take me in your wounds
I promise to unseal the jars
I have made your tomb

I will not ignore the joyous sound
of all Creation
I give my self up as Love abounds
breaking up my stagnation...

Built Upon a Whim

Walked inside and fell asleep...in my dream you were the song that I sought to learn and
then you opened the door that opened me and all I could do is flow like a minstrel in the
midst of menses a sight to see more a sight to hear for pictures are more to the soul
clear...the pieces of my shattered past lay all around my feet and the shards of glass
sought to penetrate the deep of my thoughts yet there was still a sound of tinkling glass
falling and I was there not the least appalling for in the breaking I saw a releasing a
mending of sorts and the heart that longs for melody found it in the cacophony of the
chaos so-called and herein lies the puzzle with its pieces all pieced together and I under
the umbrella of you become wet only from the dew of the mountain top upon which we
momentarily chose to stop...again....my friend, you and I!!!

Out of My Dreams

When my thoughts start this song
It feels like a slow moving train,
Becoming from two tracks a single one
Much like the trickle from the drops of rain.
How shall I begin to let you in?
To a LOVE that echoes again
Across the distance that intervenes.
In my daze my words are a maze
I pray for God's LOVE that saves
With you coming straight out of my dreams.
