The Month of June
Static radio gives me the shakes
Sensitive to light, my belly aches
Red holes infected my suspicious leg
Green water mucus as baby Jesus loves to beg
Pill popping dope created a milk dud of a man
The white swans turn black, sacrifice the lamb
Ask for a ride and you shall won't find
Wheels have no fortune, life is suicide
Cancerous objects, indeed are lethal
X-Ray's of your rectum, images on her easel
1 month to die, 1 month to live
Make down no mind, maggots forgive
The hog & pig dance of June comes...
Sensitive to light, my belly aches
Red holes infected my suspicious leg
Green water mucus as baby Jesus loves to beg
Pill popping dope created a milk dud of a man
The white swans turn black, sacrifice the lamb
Ask for a ride and you shall won't find
Wheels have no fortune, life is suicide
Cancerous objects, indeed are lethal
X-Ray's of your rectum, images on her easel
1 month to die, 1 month to live
Make down no mind, maggots forgive
The hog & pig dance of June comes...

I am lost
Life is a fire that won’t burn forever
It freezes, it fades
Hope is the curse of the individual
It dies with him
Fear is the individual’s lust for life
Paralyzing, it kills
Nature is a mother who eats her own young
Without care
Old, battered landscape, a tinge of memory fading
Soul and body falls to the ground
Remember the seasons of temperate beauty?
Stood I then amongst the falling rain
Death hides not in the summer’s warm winds
But a winter breeze can kill
Winter is a beast that tortures the strong ...
It freezes, it fades

Soul and body falls to the ground

Stood I then amongst the falling rain

But a winter breeze can kill
Winter is a beast that tortures the strong ...

On His Anniversary
Every time my wife enters the pool, she can't keep her head above the water
It would look as though she was drowning
I would jump in and save her from the deep end
I'd say, stay in the shallow section, over here
She wouldn't say much and just shake her head
Luckily, I have a lock on the gate, which surrounds the entire in ground pool
I'm the only one that knows the code
I don't allow her near the pool, unless I'm nearby
I needed to install this a few years back, since a tragedy occurred
Our son, who was 4 years old went by the edge of the pool and...

Compliance or Resistance
Would you stay if I left?
Would you love if I hate?
Would you breed if I was sterile?
Would you believe if I doubted?
Would you stay alive if I killed?
Never once would your heart beat in my chest
Together as one, comfort can bring on distress
All of these factors create our existence
What would you choose, compliance or resistance?
Would you love if I hate?
Would you breed if I was sterile?
Would you believe if I doubted?
Would you stay alive if I killed?
Never once would your heart beat in my chest
Together as one, comfort can bring on distress
All of these factors create our existence
What would you choose, compliance or resistance?

Don't take love for granted
What happened to you?
You use to have the biggest smile on your face
You would always seem so positive & optimistic about everything
You were my inspiration, my confidant, my friend, my lover
You made me strive to become what I am today
Do you remember, we had nothing?
We struggled terribly
Barely any money for bills, food or decent clothing
I grew the company from just me to having over 100 employees
We made it!!
I was able to buy whatever we needed or wanted
We have three homes and enough money in the bank for the rest of our lives...
You use to have the biggest smile on your face

You were my inspiration, my confidant, my friend, my lover

In Silence
Deep in the wilderness, something screams.
Deep in the wilderness, something cries for its life
We stand and listen as one unseen entity brutally overpowers another
The unseen struggle, made vivid by presence of sound and lack of sight
Deep in the wilderness, something screams and the forest comes alive, echoing whispers of fear and agony
We stand and feel the tense air
Frozen by ancient memories older than the land
Continued wails and the rustle of leaves betray an agonizing fight against death
Deep in the wilderness, something...
Deep in the wilderness, something cries for its life
We stand and listen as one unseen entity brutally overpowers another
The unseen struggle, made vivid by presence of sound and lack of sight
Deep in the wilderness, something screams and the forest comes alive, echoing whispers of fear and agony
We stand and feel the tense air
Frozen by ancient memories older than the land
Continued wails and the rustle of leaves betray an agonizing fight against death
Deep in the wilderness, something...

In The Beginning
In the beginning, all was void and without form
And the cosmos was but a mote upon the face of the deep
An unknown grain of sand upon some distant shore
Once could have shamed the cosmos
And a fleck of dust floating in a sunbeam
Could once have known greater breadth and reach
For a water drop once could have carried the cosmos
into the sea to be lost forever
And so it was, but all begins now
From our initial cause to our aftermath
Let it be reverence to look upon the sky
Knowing it once might have hidden under a pebble ...
And the cosmos was but a mote upon the face of the deep
An unknown grain of sand upon some distant shore
Once could have shamed the cosmos
And a fleck of dust floating in a sunbeam
Could once have known greater breadth and reach
For a water drop once could have carried the cosmos
into the sea to be lost forever
And so it was, but all begins now
From our initial cause to our aftermath
Let it be reverence to look upon the sky
Knowing it once might have hidden under a pebble ...

I long for winter
Nights grow longer and the cold stronger as the world gallops towards icy times.
Sun grows weaker.
Days grow bleaker.
Era of warmth becomes a frigid clime.
Hold close to your heart memories of a living land.
Hold close to your soul the hope of warmer days.
The air grows colder and the year older as death-fearing creatures prepare themselves.
Colors grow lighter.
Leaves grow brighter as their smell beckons Winter closer.
Skies grow bluer.
Birds grow fewer.
A halting world nearly freezes in time.
Then wolf...
Sun grows weaker.
Days grow bleaker.
Era of warmth becomes a frigid clime.
Hold close to your heart memories of a living land.
Hold close to your soul the hope of warmer days.
The air grows colder and the year older as death-fearing creatures prepare themselves.
Colors grow lighter.
Leaves grow brighter as their smell beckons Winter closer.
Skies grow bluer.
Birds grow fewer.
A halting world nearly freezes in time.
Then wolf...

I am Earthborn
The seeds of my soul were sown in the throes of creation,
With the fabric of two woven into a distinction.
Upon a deep winter night with the howls of the surrounding season,
My heart came aflame, and spoke of bare trees and distant sun.
The winds of the storm shall howl across the land my true name,
For Earthborn I am; of Land and Sky I am made a man.
And on these deep winter nights, songs of creation echo in my heart,
For I am man; I am a force of nature -
Her!
I am Earthborn!
So here I stand; fury of winter in body of man, ...
With the fabric of two woven into a distinction.
Upon a deep winter night with the howls of the surrounding season,
My heart came aflame, and spoke of bare trees and distant sun.
The winds of the storm shall howl across the land my true name,
For Earthborn I am; of Land and Sky I am made a man.
And on these deep winter nights, songs of creation echo in my heart,
For I am man; I am a force of nature -
Her!
I am Earthborn!
So here I stand; fury of winter in body of man, ...

The First Day of Summer
The heat is intense
The pool water is to hot
Relief in the tub
The pool water is to hot
Relief in the tub
