Just Around the River Bend

Around the river bend 
Near the edge of the woods
There lives a Lakota tribe
Celebrating the latest rain 

The steady pounding beat of the drum
The women dance a sacred dance 
As the men pass the pipe 
Nodding in happiness 

The ponies whinny in the background
With feathers in their flowing manes
As they toss their heads about
Their hooves ponding the earth with the drums

The celebration can be heard now 
As a hundred years have gone by
They will never be only a memory 
For their future generations will never forget

In the Dark

Walking alone in the dark
All is silent
Until theres a snap of a twig
Hands come from behind
Holding my neck
I try to scream
Noone Hears
The hands grow tighter
I give up fighting
I take a final breath
He lays me in the bushes
My body cold and still
Noone knows who did it
They probly never will

Race Day

Loaded in the starting gate
Who will win nobody knows
The buzzer sounds
And off they go 
Thundering down the track
Jockey's on thier back 
Riding with adrenaline
Making thier way around the bend 
To the home stretch
Thier hoofs thundering like a storm 
Down the path to victory
First, second, and third 
Winning by a nose 
The amazing thrill of race day

Just a Dream

In the middle of the field
He stands there
Tall and Strong
The wind blowing his mane and tail
As he stands there eyes so bold with a story to tell
He is wild like the thunder
No one can touch him
He longs for freedom
Like the one he use to know
He sees the ropes coming at him
Before they catch him he lets out a mighty cry
But for this Mustang it was all just a dream
For his spirit will never be broken

Who's There

In my room late at night i hear them
Voices telling me things I don't understand
I ask people around me what it means
I tell them what the voices say
They look at me like i am talking in a different language
When in all i am
I look in the mirror
I don't see myself
Instead I'm looking at someone i don't even know
She calls me the chosen one
She tells me my path is far from over
That there will many a sorrow in my path ahead
Then she leaves

Stud

In a Stable 
A handsome stud waits
With a mane black as coal 
His coat a shiny black under his blanket
With eyes brown as the maple bark
Longing for attenion
His mind wonders 
As he moves his head 
Left to right 
Hoping for his master

Just Because I Said I Do

The nagging about little things
To the complaining about you need socks
Never wanting to do a thing I ask
Just because I said I do 

I love when I come home to a mess
Clothes here, Socks there, plates in the living room 
Just  for once pick up one thing 
You only do what you want 

I love you with my heart
But just because I said I do 
You need to help to 
Its the two of us not only one

Revenge In the Night

I walk alone 
In the night 
With a glock in my hand 
Revenge is what I seek 

Your dirty deeds 
Will cost you this time 
You sleeping in her bed 
I am coming for you 

I peek in the window 
My eyes red from tears 
Soon you will never do this again 
You and her will be together forever 

I sneak in the back door
Walking silently to her room 
You make this easy 
With the door wide open 

My finger is on the trigger 
Not caring anymore 
As the shots ring out 
With both your blood on the floor

The Starrs

Looking into the night sky 
The stars shine bright 
They light up the sky 
Trying to tell us thier story 
Living longer than a human 
They have seen more than you or i 
They know the mysteries we can not solve 
The stars will tell us thier story

Voices

Voices, voices everywhere
Out the door 
Down the hall
To the right 
To the left 
Down the stairs 
They just don't care
Voices, Voices everywhere
Where they stop
Only you will know
