POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Temple of the Heart
Sitting here by the fireside in the shadow of a golden light I reflect on my life and once again the poet writes...
Just like a sacred journey back to The Temple of The Heart these are ancient times somewhere between the light and the dark.
And In remembrance of you I pour myself another glass of wine for all the unresolved issues left suspended in time.
But that's another story for another time I'm seeing life through different eyes now than I did yesterday. You may still say I'm a dreamer but the dreams I dream now have all taken on a whole new meaning!
But somethings...

Hail Mary
Well and once again I have fallen
fallen short of the glory oh but
HAIL MARY full of grace and most

love in the name of your righteous
sons name, Christ Jesus...
Oh holy mother surround me now

your arms ever so tight oh mother,

Freedom Sea
Well there comes a time when every boy
Must become a man but don't cry mama
I'll be just fine on my own and I don't need
Anyone to hold my hand I know you'll
Miss me while I'm gone and I'll miss you
Too but now I must be moving along
I hear the call of the wild and I can see
A new day a dawning out on the open sea
Well and it's now I know this is my destiny
Don’t you go I got to follow my heart
Wherever it takes me and there is no freedom
Like the freedom of riding out the waves of
A deep, deep blue sea
I'm not saying I don't...

The Miracle of Love
Well I never thought I'd ever get over you
but that was until last night when someone
new came into my life...
now I feel a reason for going on living and
smiling instead of crying, it’s a Miracle
plain and simple there's no denying, it’s
a Miracle, Miracle of love...
'cuz when you walked out on me I swore
I'd never fall in love again, you broke my
heart into so many pieces I couldn't
imagine anyone could ever put it back
together again but that was until last
night when someone new came into my
life...

You say come and live with me

The One in Control
Sometimes we all get to feeling
a little lonely and sad, sometimes the
darkness can be so overwhelming
there just doesn't seem to be any
light to be found but don't lose hope
God isn't heartless and when you
need him he won't let you down but
you get to give it all to him and let
all your sorrows go, the harder you
push the stronger he will resist 'til
you realize he is THE ONE IN
CONTROL...
So fear thee not oh no he is in
control, he is in control of the way
the four winds blow, he is in control
of the rain, the ice...

Fly
Sundown on a January Sunday
a blast from the past caught me
by surprise although we have
been estranged someone could
of told me you died, now I am
in mourning regretting that we
never got to reconcile so but with
tears in my eyes on this cold, cold
January night in the shadow of
a full moons light I say I'm sorry
I know I could of been a better
son but a wild horse will run...
But now you can put your wings
up, put your wings up, put your
wings up and fly but please
daddy please don't forget me
over on the other...

It’s No Secret
Walk with me through the gate and garden
I have a story to tell you 'Lil darlin' but
understand it was a different way of life
in 1864 when the country was divided and
thrown into a civil war...
it was then a Captain of the Union army
was wounded at the battle of Shiloh but
somehow he managed to escape and
make it to this great estate in the thick
of ice and snow well and she saw him
looking out the big picture window..
A beautiful old maid of 29, like I said
this was another place in time but
despite the scandal she took him in...

What Love Means To Me
True love knows no pain...love
Is a rare and precious thing and
Has no chains...true love is the
Dream of dreams and love to me
Means never having to be lonely
Doing whatever it takes to make
That one special someone happy
Holding hands and sweet, sweet
Kisses of fire oooh yeah, oooh wee
Well That's What Love Means To
Me...well and unconditional love
Means never having to be apart
Forever love is like a river that
Never stops and love when it's
Real comes from the heart and
There is no doubt it is love...

TIT for TAT
Why now must we fight
like we are enemies
when we are supposed to
be in love...
they say two wrongs don't
make a right but you never
let the little things go and
in turn I return every negative
and derogatory thing right
back...it's a crying shame
we must play these childish
games, you hurt me, I hurt
you back just like that,
TIT FOR TAT...
Well but don't you think we
it's about time we should just
forgive and forget and get back
loving each other like we said
we would forever, we can't go on ...

Where Heaven and Earth Meet
A stroke of genius like a work of art
I can feel it in my heart now a miracle
and a dream come true
The breaking of bondage like little
pieces of glass scattered apart
coming back to myself now in the
movement of Kiev and Curio Czar
The turn of a new century and 20 past
2000 a new cycle of spiritualism has
begun as if back to Shangri-La
Angels have come and brought back
peace among the land and so now I know
the prophecy wasn't just a work of
fiction Somewhere Between Where Heaven
And Earth Meet 21 past 2000 life has...
