Black Feathers
Black feathers in the breeze
Soaring over mountains seas
Taming wind in perfect ease
He flips in mid-air as a tease
And I wonder if a raven sees
And if perhaps he hears my pleas
I down here and on my knees
Whispering lift me with you please
I'll trade you cheese
Soaring over mountains seas
Taming wind in perfect ease
He flips in mid-air as a tease
And I wonder if a raven sees
And if perhaps he hears my pleas
I down here and on my knees
Whispering lift me with you please
I'll trade you cheese

To be laughed at
To be humiliated
To be doubted
To be doubting self
To be discounted
To be harrassed
To be challenged

Mirror
All that you are
All that you see
All that you do
It is reflected in me
Everything you think
Everything you say
Everything you believe
It comes back your way
The sins you may commit
The lies you may tell
The hatred you may harbor
Designs your private hell
If empathy is practiced
If love can mend a heart
If forgiveness is earned
You have done your part
My fate is in your hands
My worth is told by you
My role is as your mirror
We can see it through
All that you see
All that you do
It is reflected in me
Everything you think
Everything you say
Everything you believe
It comes back your way
The sins you may commit
The lies you may tell
The hatred you may harbor
Designs your private hell
If empathy is practiced
If love can mend a heart
If forgiveness is earned
You have done your part
My fate is in your hands
My worth is told by you
My role is as your mirror
We can see it through

The Yule Cat
You must know of the Yule Cat
That feline mighty and long
No one knew from where he came
Or to where he had gone
He'd stare at you with intent
Of his burning desire
It was hardly for anyone
To gaze into that fire
His whiskers stiff as needles
A hump on his black back
And the claws on his furry paw
Would surely take you aback
He leaps he claws and hisses
He swings his mighty tail
Sometimes out on the ness
At others in the dale
He'd roam hungry and vicious
On frozen Christmas ground ...
That feline mighty and long
No one knew from where he came
Or to where he had gone
He'd stare at you with intent
Of his burning desire
It was hardly for anyone
To gaze into that fire
His whiskers stiff as needles
A hump on his black back
And the claws on his furry paw
Would surely take you aback
He leaps he claws and hisses
He swings his mighty tail
Sometimes out on the ness
At others in the dale
He'd roam hungry and vicious
On frozen Christmas ground ...

Take Hold
Let my world give way to fantasy land
Let me slip into sweetest dreams
Let me delve deep into a lyrical band
Let me forget how my world seems
Allow me to embrace beauty around
Allow me a song and your dance
Allow me to immerse in colors abound
Allow me to forget happenstance
Make me think of positive things
Make me become your child
Make me believe that I have wings
Make me deny that I am defiled
Hold me close in your arms
Hold me until I may sleep
Hold...
Let me slip into sweetest dreams
Let me delve deep into a lyrical band
Let me forget how my world seems
Allow me to embrace beauty around
Allow me a song and your dance
Allow me to immerse in colors abound
Allow me to forget happenstance
Make me think of positive things
Make me become your child
Make me believe that I have wings
Make me deny that I am defiled
Hold me close in your arms
Hold me until I may sleep
Hold...

Heart
This weathered nation
My stormy heart
Your jagged mountains
These deep blue fjords
My raw wild homeland
Of fierce winter gales
Endless nights and days
I sing your praise
I love you
It is so
I need you
Don't you know
When I see you
I have to smile
When I sense you
I listen while
My heart beats
My stormy heart
Your jagged mountains
These deep blue fjords
My raw wild homeland
Of fierce winter gales
Endless nights and days
I sing your praise
I love you
It is so
I need you
Don't you know
When I see you
I have to smile
When I sense you
I listen while
My heart beats

Silly Me
I thought I saw you
Running carefree
I thought I found you
Move closer to me
I thought I held you
Deep into the night
I thought I told you
All is alright
I thought I freed you
To open your eyes
I thought I showed you
The world in it's lies
I thought I had you
To love and to care
I thought I knew you
In all everywhere
I thought I was someone
In your waking dream
I thought I was bowl
In your cat and cream
I thought you were someone
That I could relate to
I...

Pussy Power
I must not move too much while he lingers
He treats me like furniture with fingers
Before jumping down he will arch his back
Glances at me like I'm his favorite snack
Today he caught a fly then he ate her
As an appetizer for what he'll get later
He cries so sweet if he doesn't get fish
Am played like a fool for his every wish
If I call his name he simply ignores me
Wanting something he coyly implores me
With a purr and a soft rub against my leg
Makes me feel guilty for having him beg
He owns himself but...
He treats me like furniture with fingers
Before jumping down he will arch his back
Glances at me like I'm his favorite snack
Today he caught a fly then he ate her
As an appetizer for what he'll get later
He cries so sweet if he doesn't get fish
Am played like a fool for his every wish
If I call his name he simply ignores me
Wanting something he coyly implores me
With a purr and a soft rub against my leg
Makes me feel guilty for having him beg
He owns himself but...

The Hill
I inhabit a house
It's said to be mine
Not too big not too small
I like it just fine
I have a garden
With mossy grass
Upon a rocky hill
Chimes Sunday mass
Up there on the rocks
Jesus in concrete
Says little child little child
I think that's neat
Tourists park to use
Drones and cameras
My kitchen window is big
I pose for them as
Little child little child
I know no one can see ...
It's said to be mine
Not too big not too small
I like it just fine
I have a garden
With mossy grass
Upon a rocky hill
Chimes Sunday mass
Up there on the rocks
Jesus in concrete
Says little child little child
I think that's neat
Tourists park to use
Drones and cameras
My kitchen window is big
I pose for them as
Little child little child
I know no one can see ...

Fear
Be afraid
Be very afraid
Wake up afraid
Pass the day afraid
Go to sleep afraid
Live your life afraid
And Obey
Be very afraid
Wake up afraid
Pass the day afraid
Go to sleep afraid
Live your life afraid
And Obey

Devil
I want to know you
I want to control you
I want to show you
I want to de-soul you
I want to lay you
I want to use you
I want to betray you
I want to abuse you
I want to employ you
I want to advise you
I want to destroy you
I want to despise you
I want to excite you
I want to thrill you
I want to ignite you
I want to kill you
But
Angel bet me
You won't let me
I want to control you
I want to show you
I want to de-soul you
I want to lay you
I want to use you
I want to betray you
I want to abuse you
I want to employ you
I want to advise you
I want to destroy you
I want to despise you
I want to excite you
I want to thrill you
I want to ignite you
I want to kill you
But
Angel bet me
You won't let me

Tempting Void
I need to tell you something
Perhaps I possibly shouldn't
But really I must
And so
Here it is
You are pronounced
Not in an indicative
Casual or slight way
But justly
Eagerly
Epically
Pronounced
You see
It is imperative
The way you can be seen
Conjunctly
Unifyingly
Within certain parameters
Of your inner mind
Now
Listen up
Hear this
Attentions please
Wait for it
Here it comes
There it goes
The circular
Infinite nothing
It is what...
Perhaps I possibly shouldn't
But really I must
And so
Here it is
You are pronounced
Not in an indicative
Casual or slight way
But justly
Eagerly
Epically
Pronounced
You see
It is imperative
The way you can be seen
Conjunctly
