A Life Onstage ©
You cannot see her
hidden behind the curtain.
She's prepared to perform her role.
She's practiced to the point of perfection.
You can't yet see her.
A divine doll for the spotlight.
But she's hidden within her own mind.
Hoping her fears go without detection.
You can almost see her,
as the house lights go down.
Her pulse rises quickly & steadily.
She'll have to breathe and ignore this.
There you see her.
Her moment to shine's arrived.
All worries are left behind.
She has a proclivity for performance.

Status Quo ©
The fodder you feed me
has left me weak and weary.
A restless roar rings through the halls.
The news that you hear
is the new made for ears.
Will peace or fear overcome all?
Has the world lost it's mind?
Oh, what fault do I find
in the bigoted, blind status quo.
But those who feel know
the sorrow and woe
of an outcast within their own mind.
Please, just a penance
Or mighty sweet vengeance,
to fill me with vigor and hope.
Oh, the things just to numb us.
They wish we'd succumb, us
who abhor the new status quo.

Walk the Melody ©
Must find Cosmic Tones.
As above and so below.
Harmonizing earthly bones.
Physical things. The ringings
make up everything.
Perfect conditions for
yellow bell tolls.
Ringing in ears.
Resonating in souls.
Live the notes
and walk the melody.
That which mirrors the heaven's eternal,
but that which mirrors my rage is infernal.
Convinced heavy burdens should fall.
If I can let go, I'm sure, I'll hear the call.
I'd live the notes
and walk the melody.
Physical or invisible things. ...

WORDS ©
You think with them , speak with them,
praise with them, kill with them.
WORDS
Express with them, conjure and preach with them.
WORDS
You scream with them, judge with them.
They cause all the sorrow, beauty,
and joy in the world.
Just like the Universe, vibrating.
WORDS
Break hearts with them.
Egos and notions, they purge.
The most beautiful and ugly things in the world.
With or without them, we're imbeciles.
WORDS
They make us and break us,
provide us asylum.
They teach us, expand us, and sometimes escape...
praise with them, kill with them.

Good Riddance, Goodbye.©
Pacify, pacify all these violent thoughts.
But betrayal keeps them burning
and it's hard to turn them off.
Crucify, crucify those that you once held dear.
Once your use for us has died,
and we become that which you fear.
All the lies, all the lies. You smile right at me,
As you ponder how to hurt us,
through passive animosity.
This selfishness, you selfish bitch,
Which you dare not even see
has turned you into something
even monsters never dream.
But this, old friend, you do not know:
How paltry you are...
