The Earth is just a floating ball
of fusing energy;
Encompassing you, me and all
in it's totality;
A concept we find arduous
to profess we believe,
Yet one connecting each of us
to everything we see.

God of Mercy
A heart can shatter many times...
A mind can lose it's thought.
The body can be not so kind...
People can be bought.
But there is one who will remain ...
forever, faithful, true.
He is the God of mercy ...
with His hands outstretched for you.
A mind can lose it's thought.
The body can be not so kind...
People can be bought.
But there is one who will remain ...
forever, faithful, true.
He is the God of mercy ...
with His hands outstretched for you.
No More
Life embittered in sweet pride,
a cover to unveil;
the hurtful lust that lies inside,
a jealousy to hail.
A passion angry at the soul,
a heartache not to cease;
a guilt residing that you go
and sorrow to release.
"I love you" spoken in sweet time
of precious memory;
"I'm sorry" spoken like a chime,
repeat, repeat, repeat.
Within the air the bells ring clear,
the time has come alas;
the battle that had drawn you near
has placed you in the past.
I am a fool two times or three
for opening that door;
for lingering so selfishly,
shall it be done no more.

Fanning Sinful Flames
A fire that burns and consumes with lust
will beat your heart down to a shattered dust.
A fire that leads you to giving in,
won't let you believe you're committing a sin.
The fire will burn deep down in your soul
you cannot avoid it
you're too weak to say no...
So you give to the fire by fanning it's flame,
when it's over you think you will die from the shame.
The fire will leave without saying goodbye
it will render no answers, just tell you more lies.
The fire returns when you think you have grown
and knocks you around 'til you lie there and moan.
The hurt that you feel is not physical pain,
but the sting of the heart
that was burnt by the flame.
will beat your heart down to a shattered dust.
A fire that leads you to giving in,
won't let you believe you're committing a sin.

Moments of Madness
There are times in my life
when my heart is not whole,
when my spirit is human
and weak to the soul.
There are moments of sorrow
and seconds of peace,
mere glances of anquish
resolved and released.
These times that I speak of
are lonely and cold,
when my mind is consumed
with shame's secrets, untold.
These moments of madness
of which I now tell,
are a mixture of sadness
sauteed rich in hell.

Rain
This cloud is pregnant with the rain
and ready to give birth
she writhes in pain ~
her water breaks and life anew
pours down on me
pours down on you,
waking every dormant seed,
fulfilling every craving need;
and cleansed herself, of purest white
rejoins her flock
in Heaven's light.

To The Grave
If I ask you a question
would you tell me the truth;
Or lie to protect my heart
like you do.
If I tell you a secret
will you promise to keep it
To the grave…
All your days…
To the grave.
(CHORUS)
To the grave is a phrase we know too well
An oath we take to never tell
Of the love we make
And the lives we fake
To the grave
In silence you and me
To the grave for eternity.
(VERSE)
If I told you I’m sorry
I do not regret
The moments we’ve shared
And I won’t forget
Would it scare you to know
I don’t want to let go
To the grave…
All our days…
To the grave.

An oath we take to never tell

Though our love runs deep
Separate lives we’ll keep

Tidbits of Truth
One cannot always see the truth
until they’ve lived the lie.
Only when the fog has cleared
can ships pass safely by.
For when you dwell in darkness
light is painful to your eye.
Someday we face the secrets
we try desperately to hide.
Time embraced a thousand souls
before we came to be;
To no avail so many tried
to undo history;
But there lives a greater force
inside you and me...
One to gently prompt a course
toward promised destiny.
Unforgiven error is rotten to the soul.
The fruit lies in repentance
and in learning to let go;
Serve whatever sentence so the price is fully paid,
then let yourself no longer be a victim nor a slave.
If you have the chance to love
and if that love’s returned,
Make it all that you’ve dreamed of
Allow that love to burn ~
With lasting embers through the years
So all the world can see
The flame is stronger than the tears,
The shame, and misery ~
until they’ve lived the lie.
Only when the fog has cleared
can ships pass safely by.

Here We Fall
Tears of sadness, tears of pain
My heart aching from this flame
burning in me...
Coals of envy for a time
when you could see this heart of mine
burning in me...
(CHORUS)
Here we are with scabs and scars
We've got words of knives
Or no words at all
Here we fall.
Here we fall.
(VERSE)
I'm broken, broken,
used up token
try to pry my heart open
but it's empty...
(CHORUS)
Here we are with scabs and scars
We've got words of knives
Or no words at all
Here we fall.
Here we fall.

Help me please, I'm down on my knees
I'm starving for you
but you can't see the truth

Walls of Stone
You say you love me
Then act like you don’t care
Solitude haunts me
Though you’re right there
(CHORUS)
You’re sittin’ at the kitchen table
I try to reach for you but I’m not able
You’ve built these walls of stone
In our home
And you left me on the other side
Alone
(VERSE)
You say the right words
but do you really care?
We share the same address
But baby, you don’t live here
(CHORUS)
You’re just sittin’ at the kitchen table
I try to reach for you but I’m not able
You’ve built these walls of stone
In our home
And you left me on the other side
(BRIDGE)
A blanket of loneliness covers me
When we turn out the lights
I try to kiss you, but all I hear
Is you whispering goodnight
(CHORUS)
Now I’m sittin’ at the kitchen table
Trying to understand but I’m not able
Why you built these walls of stone
In our home
And you left me on the other side

I Do Believe
Do you believe in destiny,
some kind of fate that takes
hold of you and me?
In the darkness
I feel your breath on my cheek
as you whisper "do you believe?"
(CHORUS)
I do believe
a greater power joins you and me
I feel a connection
I can't explain
It's beyond affection
pours down on me like rain
I do believe.
(VERSE)
The world spins round
and time moves on
In an instant
lovers are gone.
It's still your caress
that lingers on my breast
as you blend into me - do you believe

I feel a connection
I can't explain
It's beyond affection

I'm taken to a place and time when our spirits intertwined.

I Can Be
So many times in relationships we try to morph who we are into what we think the other person wants us to be. It never works.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can be your rock star fantasy.
I can be your wildest dream.
I can be your temptress in white lace.
I can be your beauty queen.
I can call you Sugar Daddy,
and act like your little whore.
But it doeesn't mean a thing
if I'm not what you're looking for.
I can sip martinis late at night.
I can slam down a few beers.
I can be the one who picks the fight.
I can run away in tears.
I can be a social debutante.
I can fix a broke down Ford.
But if I'm not what you really want
you're bound to end up bored.
I can be barefoot and pregnant.
I can beat the corporate world.
I can be a nun, join a convent.
I can be your nasty girl.
I can be your trusted confidant,
lift your spirits from the ground.
But if I'm not what you really want
I will only let you down.

Off The Cuff
People say I should do this
Others say I should do that
You get really ticked
when I don't behave the way I should act.
Pointing out my giant flaws
You keep a list of my broken laws.
You say I do things without cause.
I'm not what I should be.
That's tough, I'm just me.
(CHORUS)
I'm off the cuff, in the buff
what you see is what you get.
If you think I'm not enough
you ain't seen nothing yet.
It's gonna be a ride
I'd like you by my side
But if you don't like how I play
step out of the way.
(VERSE)
What you want I may not do
Of my actions you won't approve
You're either with me or against
There ain't no sittin' on this fence.
Darlin' it's your choosing time
Stay or leave, make up your mind
You can blame me, but you can't change me
If you don't like what you see
That's tough, I'm just me.

In The Gray
Sometimes the lines between right and wrong, left and right, black and white fade, run and blur when we try to balance amidst the tuggings of our minds and hearts. Sometimes we find ourselves dwelling "In the Gray"....
You say love is black or white
You say I must be crazy
Well, I might
I don't have the energy to put up a fight
Either you accept me
Or say goodnight
(CHORUS)
I live in the gray
what else can I say
The things I do
are done my way
I don't stay in the lines
I can't live confined
I've got to be free
I've got to be me.
(VERSE)
You define love by all it's laws
I weave in and out around love's flaws
You say the lines are clear to be seen
I have more fun in the in-between.
(CHORUS)
I live in the gray
what else can I say
The things I do
are done my way
I don't stay in the lines
I can't live confined
I've got to be free
I've got to be me.
I live in the gray and I like it that way.

I Will 'Cuz I Can
Do you ever miss the confidence of youth? This is a song I wrote in the arrogance of my youth many years ago.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't you think I see you, standing at the bar
I can see right through you, I know who you are.
I know what you're after, girl don't hold your breath.
I'm his better half and I'm not finished with him yet.
(CHORUS)
I will 'cuz I can
Fulfill my man
If you think you're smart
you'll go for someone else
I have got his heart
and I'm keeping it for myself.
(VERSE)
You can bat your lashes, but it don't mean a thing
He vowed ashes to ashes and I wear this diamond ring.
He may think you're pretty, girl anybody would
But that don't mean a ditty 'cuz he knows I'm good!
(CHORUS)
I will 'cuz I can
Fulfill my man

Time Will Heal
Time will heal all the pain
like sunlight chases away rain.
Time will heal what's inside
like the moon guides the tide.
This heartache you feel
time will heal.
like sunlight chases away rain.
Time will heal what's inside
like the moon guides the tide.
This heartache you feel
time will heal.
The Watering Hole
In that smoky bar he sat again
bourbon and coke his only friend
Unshaven chin and squinted glare
he dreamed of a place, and wished he were there.
He's been on the road forever it seems
chasing the demons that call themselves dreams,
tired and hungry, feeling alone
he wants to give up and longs to come home.
(CHORUS)
Home is the watering hole
a place of strength, a place to go
when you're feeling down and weak
it will lift you to your feet
and set you back upon the path to your dream.
(VERSE)
In a club 'cross town she danced on the floor
knowing deep inside there had to be more,
each one night stand left her empty inside
she lay in bed and cried.
(CHORUS)
Home is the watering hole
a place of strength, a place to go
when you're feeling down and weak
it will lift you to your feet
and set you back upon the path to your dream.
Traveling through the desert of life
with the wind on your back, the sun too bright
praying each step you take is right
to lead you to your dream;
but the road isn't steady, the path is long
you made some choices and they were wrong,
thirsty and tired and all alone
you want to give up and go back home

Sharpest Tool
We've all met a gorgeous specimen, the proverbial "perfect" man. We've all seen someone whose looks alone have rendered us breathless. But what happens when that exterior beauty and inflated ego has nothing to offer on the inside? This is a spoof I wrote about a gorgeous specimen I met once in college. It's called "Sharpest Tool" and it's all meant in good fun.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I know you think he's cool
but he's not the sharpest tool
there's something lacking right above his neck;
He looks good by the pool,
when he speaks he is a fool
I'm telling you, he plays with half-a-deck.
He doesn't feel ashamed
when he mis-spells his own name.
He says things that don't even make sense.
I don't mean to be rude
but he's lacking an IQ
His name is listed beneath the word dense.
(CHORUS)
Sharpest Tool. Half-a-Deck.
There is no intellect.
I'm not even sure he can think.
He might be the missing link.
(VERSE)
You're eyeing his caboose
but he's got a screw loose.
I'd say he's a bubble short of plum.
I know you really care,
but he's not all there.
Girlfriend you better turn and run.
(CHORUS)
Sharpest Tool. Half-a-Deck.
There is no intellect.
Of a load, he's short a brick.
His mom calls him dimwit.
Girl, between me and you
this guy has no clue.

There is no intellect.
I'm not even sure he can think.
He might be the missing link.
(VERSE)
You're eyeing his caboose
but he's got a screw loose.
I'd say he's a bubble short of plum.
I know you really care,
but he's not all there.
Girlfriend you better turn and run.
(CHORUS)
Sharpest Tool. Half-a-Deck.
There is no intellect.
Of a load, he's short a brick.
His mom calls him dimwit.
Girl, between me and you
this guy has no clue.
Right, Right Now
Someday we'll be looking back
the present will be past.
I don't want to wonder why
we didn't make this last.
Before tomorrow breaks
and today is yesterday,
Let's agree from now on
to put our differences away.
(CHORUS)
Let's make it right, right now
before a minute slips away
We only live one life
that's what people say.
So make it right, right now
forgive and forget
If we make it right, right now
we won't look back with regret.
(VERSE)
It takes two to make a vow
both give and receive
Looking back years from now
I don't want to feel sorry -
for what we should have said
all we could have done
It's easy to give up...
but I'd rather overcome.
(CHORUS)
And make it right, right now
before a minute slips away
We only live one life
that's what people say.
So make it right, right now
forgive and forget
If we make it right, right now
we won't look back with regret.
(BRIDGE)
We can let go of the hurt
Swallow our pride
There's nothing worse
than regret inside
The past is past
Our future is bright
if we...
(CHORUS)
Make it right, right now
before a minute slips away
We only live one life
that's what people say.
So make it right, right now
forgive and forget
If we make it right, right now
we won't look back with regret.
the present will be past.
I don't want to wonder why
we didn't make this last.
Before tomorrow breaks
and today is yesterday,
Let's agree from now on
to put our differences away.
(CHORUS)
Let's make it right, right now

Fill My Vacancy
(VERSE)
The cards were stacked against us
right from the start.
Our love wasn't easy,
the best things never are.
Since you left I've been empty
I pretend it's not true.
The red light's flashing vacancy
and my heart calls for you.
(CHORUS)
I don't want anybody new
I just want somebody who
I used to know
The one I thought would never go.
I've tried new romance
All I want is a second chance
To make you see
You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one to fill my vacancy.
(VERSE)
Sure we had our troubles
just like everybody does.
But we had something special,
we shared true love.
Friends say I should move on
they say it wasn't meant to be.
But if you're not the one
why can no one fill my vacancy.
(CHORUS)
I don't want anybody new
I just want somebody who
I used to know
The one I thought would never go.
I've tried new romance
All I want is a second chance
To make you see
You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one to fill my vacancy.
(BRIDGE)
Other guys look me in the eyes
and say they love me.
I don't care 'cuz without you here
my heart's a vacancy
(CHORUS)
I don't want anybody new
I just want somebody who
I used to know
The one I thought would never go.
I've tried new romance
All I want is a second chance
To make you see
You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one to fill my vacancy.
