W

Wind wisping over water
Whipping o'er the waves
Washing 'way all weakness
Winding down the way
Whispering to the willows
Willing winter's wilting
Whirling 'cross the world
With words of wrath and war
Weaving through my window
Waiting while i work
Whistling through the walls
Wishing I would wake

Wraith-like waif of whimsy
Wandering without worry
Wearing wings of white
Watching wicked weep
while wily wit will write
Whys & Whats, who's & where's
Whales with wheels
Wide wobbling Walruses
Wiry wheat & wild woods;
Weeds and worms witness worth
Warming we who were well
Wanting to win
Walking westward
Wading through webs
whim waning, woes weighing
Wonder warding wistfulness

Whole weeks wasted
Waltzing with a wolf
Wedded woman wailing
Withdrawn wife whimpers
Wincing widow warns
Wizard of the Wyrm
Warrior of the witch
Wader at the wharf... wavering.

She Turns Away

Deep down we're all crazing affection
Turning round and spiraling down
Searching in the wrong direction
she turns away
she turns away

Clinging to false hope, passion
Loving quick and falling sick
Deep inside she knows she's crashin
So she turns away
she turns away

Calling fromt he left and right
Rejection
She's lost to the night
She's turned away
she turns away

Streets are empty as her heart
She tried too hard, she tried too much
So with her life she will depart
she's turned away
she's turning away

The bridge is tall, the ground below
death, but hark! a call, DO NOT FALL!
And as the wind past her blows
she turns away,
towards a new day.

River in the Sky

River in the sky
Flowing steadily by
Please cover up the blue
I don't know what to do

Right now you're soft and white
But capable of false night
Please cover up the sky
So God can't see me cry

Fill with water
heavenly tears
match my sorrow
feel my fears

River in the sky
let go of your water
and cry
for me

Silence is Golden

Silence is golden
But it seems I'm beholden
To the silence of the lambs
Hidden within their dams
They await their awakening
I leave, they've forsaken me

Silence is golden
And still I'm beholden
to innocent blood, shed
Words I have not said
Lay heavy on my conscious
The pain in you, paining us

Silence is golden
Is it really golden?
The oppressive curtain
That sinking certain
Brings me to my doom
I know I leave you soon
why nor how I can not say
I only dream of Life and pray
that you will never go away
and leave me lost, here, astray

Silence is golden
I truly am beholden
To the chains that bind
That will not break
To a land of sorrow
I can not shake...
The curse that haunts me to my door
Will take me down and find no more
Than everything I have left here
Everything that I hold dear
Dragging in the awful fear
its time for me to fly.

Home

When you're feeling tired, sleepy and alone

All a person longs for is a special place called home

A place to set your worries

To put your mind at ease

No hastling nor hurry

Just a gentle autumn breeze

After many months of wander

To find this place called home

I sat a while to ponder

On a giant mushroom's dome

I'd searched the west

With mountains high

I'd searched the east

Full of valley and sky

I'd searched the north

Through cold coniferous plains

I'd searched the south

For days without rain

I'd searched the oceans

And distant lands

Through foreign jungles

And o'er alien sands

I'd searched the grasslands

For what I lacked

I visited both of the cold polar caps

After seeing the surface

And of home not a trace

I floated up to outer space

To sparkling sky, black as night

Covered with diamonds, pinpoints of light

I flitted my way past the sun, moon, and stars

And decided to see the red dust of mars

The expanse of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn

Each an enigma with its puzzles and patterns

I looked past the planets into darkness beyond

And realized this is not where I belong

Nowhere out here whilst I did roam

Carried the distinct feeling of home

So back down to earth, then further still

The darker it got the greater the thrill

Below the surface in caverns deep

Where naught but water makes a peep

The drip, drop calming the silence whole

That it threatened to steal my very soul

So further I traveled to the core

Where the magma swirled and roared

It swept me up and spat me out,

Through an underwater volcano spout

Near the bottom I lurked until a whale

Offered me a ride on his magnificent tail

I caught my ride and up we flew

Through hundreds of shades of beautiful blue

Until the surface we did reach

Light sparkling off a white sandy beach

I swam and sat on a desert isle

And as I though I began to smile

Home is not a place you find

Its something created in your mind

And with that thought

My dream bubble popped

Back was I in my shaded glen

"Welcome back little one day dreaming again?"

I fluttered my wings with a nod and a smile

And flew off down the road about a mile

There I met a lonely man

Huffing and puffing as if he'd ran

A thousand miles

I flitted over to him and asked with a smile

"Why are you so out of breath?"

"Because I just barely escaped my death

I had to leave my life and home

I daren't go back so now I roam"

"That's odd" I said with a giggle and grin

"That this matter of home would pop up again"

He whispered "I miss my home what can I do?"

I asked curiously, "how can you miss what's a part of you?"

He looked sharply at me "What do you mean?"

So I told him of what I'd seen

The heavens and earth in all their splendor

But not one of these is a vendor

Of a little thing called home

"Its with you no matter where you roam

Its something you keep inside your heart

So you and home are never apart"

He shook his head and did not understand

I knew right there that this was a man

Who would have to learn for himself

And discover the hard way life's simple wealth's

I called as he set out the world do see

"May you find what you want to be."

Sitting InThe Red Maple

Over missing you I promised I'd never cry
And it was so easy I did not know why
Sitting in the red maple, so thought I

I still don't know why, they ebb and flow
My feelings for you subside and grow
Sitting in the red maple, so realized I

What you'd given was taken, a simple hat
gone with fury was I in a snap
Sitting in the red maple, simmered did I

Then calm ponderance o'er our memories
So many were there, like leaves on a tree
Sitting in the red maple, smiling nostalgically

With these memories came a surprising pang
And tears softly falling, a slow steady rain
Sitting in the red maple, weeping for you

The hat was returned and still did I
Sit, hunched in that maple and continue to cry
Sitting in the red maple, still crying for you

An apology with the hat did come
I put my foot in my mouth, instead of my tongue
Sitting in the red maple as he walks away

My father returns from far away
I dry my eyes on this day in may
Jumping down from the red maple to say "Hello"
The thing is, they'll never know

Black Rain

There's this bottle in my hands
People say it can take me to far away lands
Or into blissful blackness
Grant the wish of numbness
In this world of pain.

Swig and drink and chug
It pulls out all the plugs
I had on my emotions
The world moves in slow motion
Where is my black rain?

Sweet or bitter, dark or light
All meant to bring delight
So why do I feel so empty
Like everything within me
Just went down the drain?

Lights are dim, the music low
All is done, it's after the show
Drinking slow but almost done
I've almost attained sweet oblivion
The break from pain my only gain.
