"She just asked...

with gentleness, dedicating
their time with the same devotion
to as a baby who needs attention.
Beauty with big eyes
that shines...

Dear my babyI was criticized and humiliated
Only because I chose love.
I was bad mouthed and cursed
Only because I chose myself.
I used to think they loved me
And I realized it was because they benefitted....

My GirlHer demeanor mild,
Still a tad wild.
She's such a sweet child..

The angels smiled.
Curls that wouldn’t be styled.
Still a tad wild.
She absolutely beguiled.
Her toys neatly piled.
She's such a...

Even though we are not faithful?
Let children turn pinot to grape juice
As Jesus did at a wedding feast
Let your child turn stones into biscuits
Prove the devil wrong with your glee

The Empty Room
Years delivered my mind, from the shadows left behind,
Darkest calamity, sucking me into the tragedy,
Feeling less like the dream I chased, like the darkness of disgrace.
Soundless images roar through my soul, creating fear, so out...

Murder On The Orient ExpressedMurder on the Orient Express--just?
Shorter the fuse tighten the screws,
sharper stuns the rushed, drug delays the hushed,
marker trashed refuse, clues confuse.

Mother gives birth to a child risking her life,
Right from the conception taking every care!
Touching fondly, the baby bump of his wife,
The same amount of joy the husband does share!

Dismissed! Battles laid down for a dissociative survivorThinking about us
I come undone
Looking back I don’t know
Whether we lost or won
Voices in my mind
That I just can’t translate
But I know
I’ll learn to appreciate
I’m not laying blame
I’m not keeping score
I just wish I...

Always On My MindMy sweet child
I know the distance has come between us
And from my suffering you may feel that I've left you behind
And I know that to you it might be
Another heart-ache

She obviously asked for it
Admit you lied they said
Dread filled me from the inside
Tried as I might
Despite my efforts
Fluorescent Light fades to black
Sank right back to that moment...
