Eulogy
With heavy hearts
we are gathered here today
Goodbye is the hardest
word of all to say
So many people
touched by her life
So much now lost
A daughter, sister and wife
Above all she was
A cherished friend
Giving her love freely
until the end
A perfect person
we know she was not
Flawed but true
we saw what we got
As we mourn on this day
it gives us comfort to know
She did not fear death
in peace she let go
Her memory we keep
cherish with pride
We...

It Couldn't Happen To Me
My heart skips a beat
you look my way
I want to wake beside you
every new day
When I look into your eyes
I can see what's to come
The generations we'll create
when we become one
I am drawn to you
forces beyond my control
For the first time in my life
I'm aware of my soul
How can a stranger
invade all my senses?
Leave me stripped bare
knock down all my fences
How did you do this?
what spell did you cast?
Were we once lovers
the lives of our past?
Now is the...
you look my way

For the first time in my life

Visit Mum Day
Knots in my stomach
I hate feeling this way
I thicken my skin
It's visit mum day
I walk down the hall
it feels it has no end
Take a deep breath
as I approach the bend
I walk in the room
wishing for a warm embrace
She glares with caution
at the strangers face
I place the flowers down
draw the curtains back
She looks at me like
I am about to attack
She starts screaming loudly
she says it's not true
I do have a daughter
It is not you ...
I hate feeling this way

Live and Let Live
There are some pretentious intellectual folk
That think most other peoples work is a joke
They use the big words that not all can define
Some write from the soul, some from the mind
Each has the right to their own self expression
For some it's an outlet, attempt to kill the depression
Not everyone is trying to win a Pulitzer prize
Some just write so that their sadness dies
There is room for us all in the world of art
Those who create should not be torn apart
Each to their own is what they say
Both free verse and rhyme are here to stay
...

Abandoned
From a boy to a man
in a single day
Now you say
you don't want to stay
You colour your version
of what happened back then
You abandoned me
you are about to do it again
Brothers and sisters
left with a hole
That can only be filled
with the light of your soul
Your struggle will end
not on this day
What makes you think god
won't turn you away?
Failure is surrender
it leaves you weak
Death will not give you
the salvation you seek ...

My Lady Is Broken
I don't recall ever feeling this defeated
Heart, mind and soul depleted
Soaked by the tides of my desperation
Her love absent without explanation
The space between us no longer measured in distance
My heart fights back with endless persistence
This chill in the air survives a thousand fires
Suddenly a stranger to all her desires
If she would only show me the colour that began this decline
I would paint over it white, bright and divine
Silence that brings a deafening sound
My heart pumping fear with every pound
Love...

Only Death Can Pay For Life
Only death can pay for life
Love inspires sacrifice
Only the heart can keep a secret
Beware the eyes that can release it
Only children are spared reality
Sadly humans lack morality
Only cowardice is true disgrace
Hate can be an acquired taste
Only you can write your story
Remember ego feeds from glory
Only emotions compel us to vent
Resentment corrupts the innocent
Only darkness can kill the light
The broken and weak abandon the fight
Only the abused...

Broken Skin
You lay beside me in my bed
occupy my entire head
poison me from within
seep out of my broken skin
kick me when I am already down
put on show my hideous frown
take control of my soul
You leave me stuck in this black hole
You own me now
worn on my sleeve
You feast on my light
will you ever leave?
You kill any love
that tries to come out
You play your games
plant in me doubt
You show off your power
to manipulate
You ruin me
you are known as hate.

The Bitter End
If I was transparent
the world could see
The little girl
and the lion in me
Sometimes i wonder
can god tell us apart?
Does he see the anger
that blankets my heart?
The light in me
slowly faded
The price you pay
when all love is jaded
I am not at fault
my hands are clean
Yet damage surrounds me
more is forseen
Crumbling under the weight
of this head
Starting to think
my angels are dead
The footprints of others
all over my skin ...

Early Promises
He sits in the forrest
peace for himself
Empty moments alone
only loneliness felt
He thinks of a woman
she can never be his
He wants her beside him
partnership bliss
Her eyes saying sorry
she looks at him
He knows that her heart
A woman will win
She smiles at him
loves like a friend
He feels much more
wants it to end
She thinks he is ok
one day will find love
He cannot let go
he takes it above
She found him sleeping
He will never wake
Who she can love
not...
peace for himself

Happy Ending
Happy ending where do you belong?
Your seed is planted
in the minds of the strong
You can never erase
the scars on your heart
The cuts and the bruises
won't tear it apart
What does it mean
to truly be free?
No shackles, no chains
there is only me
All the moments in time
the words that are spoken
Courage is found
among the jaded and broken
Each day is a battle
sink or swim
Victory awaits
the struggle within.
Your seed is planted
in the minds of the strong
You can never erase
the scars on your heart
The cuts and the bruises
won't tear it apart

No shackles, no chains

All the moments in time
the words that are spoken

Each day is a battle
sink or swim

Raging Fight
When will the end come into sight?
A declaration of victory
this raging fight
When will the calm come
after the storm?
A mended mind
heart no longer torn
When will my skin
fit like a glove?
Never to fade
the scars of love
When will inner peace
not elude me?
The forbidden fruit
a fallen tree
When will my heart
hold a glorious win?
Knowledge is power
ignorance is sin.
A declaration of victory
this raging fight
When will the calm come
after the storm?
A mended mind
heart no longer torn
When will my skin
fit like a glove?
Never to fade
the scars of love
When will inner peace
not elude me?
The forbidden fruit
a fallen tree
When will my heart
hold a glorious win?
Knowledge is power
ignorance is sin.
