POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
South Hawthorn
Somewhere Down Over South Hawthorn's Way
That’s where we would always meet at the dark
End of the street in the moon's shadow
Teenagers sneakin' some kissin', some huggin'
And some lovin' until the break of day and just
A little bit more again until sunset tomorrow!
As another summer night finds us on fire
Entertaining the feeling of our souls new found
Desire now come hail or high water and the
Passion explodes like thunder!
Young and kindred spirits fresh out of puberty
Giving into our ecstasy 'til the break of day and
Then just a little...

You, Yourself
There's good and bad in everything I guess that's just
the way of this thing we call life but without pain
and sorrow we wouldn't learn anything, we need a
little rain in our lives for our souls to grow still
even in the dark there are traces of light And You,
Yourself can be a beacon of light for another if it's
just to give them some hope to cope when in times of
trouble and misery has them not knowing up from down
you yourself can create a miracle if it's just to
give someone a helping hand...sometimes we all need a
helping hand so be a friend and...

Hold That Thought...
Hold That Thought I've got a
UFO to catch...they wanna
Throw me a party for some
Reason or another but I'm
Sure it'll be a hoot-n-any so
Hold That Thought darlin
I'll be back before you can
Finish your beer and we can
Get back to getting down
And dirty...oh my heart, oh
What a day...this morning
My new cd was released
And I graced the cover of
Time magazine then took
A limo to have lunch with
Tom Petty and Don Henley
Little did I know BMI arranged
The whole thing for my first
Smash hit “Out Of a Dream”

Let Love Begin
Well what can I offer you
When you already have
Everything and more...
You snap your fingers and
An ontarage of nameless
Faces come running pampering
You but isn't there not anything
You do not yearn for...where
Do you go when you dream,
Do you ever feel like there's
Something missing in your heart
...well I may be a fool but here's
Sending my love your way all
The way to the United Kingdom
From Tennessee now does that
Bring a smile to your face, does
That make your day, does that take
You away, does that touch you
Deep...

I Exalt Thee
For so long I have been down so low
lost in the darkness of doubt, the Devil
kept saying you think and you worry
way too much but Jesus said I am the
way, the love and the life, his voice
sounded like rolling thunder, turning
my heart inside out and it's now I know
you can hear me, down on bended knees
saying oh hallowed be thy name, forever
and for all eternity, yes and I pray for
those, for you and me, I am so tired and
weary but I know Jesus will give me
the strength to sustain until he comes
back to get me because I know, I know

Trinity
In the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit
I am born again, I am finally at peace within and
now I just have to shout out Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
I have been saved by the grace of the Trinity, by the
power and the mercy, I am forgiven of my sins
in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
now and forever Amen...
Well but I'm not saying I'm perfect or better than
anyone else by no means but I have been brushed
by Angel wings and now my life is no longer what it
used to seem now that I am redeemed...

Merry Christmas from Me to You
Well MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU
from my house to yours, I pray it's the
best Christmas you could ever hope for
but don't forget it's not all about the
presents under the Christmas tree
no it's really more about the birth of
Jesus Christ our Lord, our Lord and
savior who was born so we may live
forever and so if we keep the true
meaning of Christmas how could we
even feel sad or blue…
Don't you know the promise of forever
is in the air, can’t you feel it, oh can't
you feel it everywhere so MERRY
CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO YOU, may it...

Mistletoe
Hang it high, hang it low
It really doesn't matter, no
Just hang that Mistletoe
And kiss me, kiss me
With all your heart and
Soul
You know that's what
I've been waiting for
Ever since you came
Through our front door
It’d be great if you could
Stay awhile and maybe
Help us decorate
We've got plenty of
Eggnog and gingerbread
Cakes but before you go
Want you this Mistletoe
Yeah...
Hang it high, hang it low
It really doesn't matter, no
Just hang a little Mistletoe
And kiss me, kiss me

The Unsung Heroes of Christmas
Well it just breaks my heart
That you can't be home for
Christmas...nobody should have
To work on Christmas day but
Not everybody sees it my way
People make excuses and say
It’s not all about the money...yeah
Right you think you're trying to fool
So for those of you that has to
Work on Christmas day this song
Is for you...the true hero of
Christmas, merry, merry Christmas
To you...
All the Doctors, the Nurses and
Pharmacists, all you truck drivers
Waiters and firemen, all of you
Retail employees, the security guards

Sea Sorceress
Oh well and the first time I ever saw you
an Ocean of emotions came crashing down
upon me it was magic by the full moon and
waves off the velveteen sea
You took me by the hand and led me into
the deep somewhere around the Octopuses’
web and the Mermaids liar more than 21,000
leagues under the sea but I was not scared
you took me into your arms and kissed me full
of intoxicating air now I think I'm falling in love
I must be under your spell but oh well what the
hell now who cares about the world above
Could this be Atlantis or the lost Garden of...

Gothic
Silver dagger
Shadow of a stranger
Ominous danger
In a dark, dark place
unknown
down deep where
very few have ever
gone
And you, you in all
your mysterious and
Gothic ways
that strange look in
your eyes is like looking
into the eyes of death
on a foggy grey day
I am afraid but paralyzed
and cannot run away...
As your voice echoes the
words from your big black
book of spells
I feel trapped like a fly in
a black widows web
In the shadow of candlelight
night after night
with...
