She Only Felt the Pain
She only felt the pain
In ravages of time,
Across the path she'd lain
Midst all the dirt and grime.

In ravages of time
She knew not what to do,
Midst all the dirt and grime
She knew not what was true.

She knew not what to do
When taunted, tossed, and spurned,
She knew not what was true
From all that she had learned.

When taunted, tossed, and spurned,
Across the path she'd lain,
From all that she had learned,
She only felt the pain.

Paradise lost.
When childhood waves a last goodbye
When all my toys are gone from me,
When logic finds a reason why
The river dances to the sea.


When all my toys are gone from me
When dreams have whispered one last time,
The river dances to the sea
To find another nursery rhyme.


When dreams have whispered one last time
And I have searched through every day,
To find the final nursery rhyme
But it has left and gone away.


And I have searched through every day
To catch my magic unicorn,
But it has left and gone away
To look for innocence reborn…

It All Started With a Packet Of Seeds
It all started with a packet of seeds,
To be planted with tenderness and care.
At the base of an Oak free from all weeds,
They will produce such beauty and flare.

To be planted with tenderness and care,
A cacophony of colorful flowers.
They will produce such beauty and flare,
With an aroma that can continue for hours.

A cacophony of colorful flowers,
Bright oranges with yellows and reds.
With an aroma that can continue for hours,
Delivered from their fresh flower beds.

Bright oranges with yellows and reds,
At the base of an Oak free from all weeds.
Delivered from their fresh flower beds,
It all started with a packet of seeds.

Icon12 Insatiable Sin
My fingerprints identified your carnal on my skin.
Never once felt like shameless adulterous sin.
Long, lust scented potpourri nights I'll miss.
Eager wanton flesh accepted every thrust; every kiss.

Never once felt like shameless adulterous sin.
Insatiable carpet rides atop my Aladdin.
Eager wanton flesh accepted every thrust; every kiss.
Round and round you tasted my bayou and I, your abyss.

Insatiable carpet rides atop my Aladdin.
Easy was giving you my treasure to open.
Round and round you tasted my bayou and I, your abyss.
Leave her or I promise my gun won't miss.

Easy was giving you my treasure to open,
Long, lust scented potpourri nights I'll miss.
Round and round you tasted my bayou and I, your abyss.
My fingerprints identified your carnal on my skin.

Icon9 A Game
A child plays with his toy
as men fight in the streets,
Together they destroy
the men they feel deceit.

As men fight in the streets
they do not see the harm,
The men, they feel deceit
from others of alarm.

They do not see the harm
of children fighting there,
From others of alarm
they beat out all the fear.

Of children fighting there,
they all have guns as cars,
They beat out all the fear,
for they think this is luck.

They all have guns as cars-
the men feel no such shame,
For they think this is luck,
as they think it's a game.

The men feel no such shame,
together they destroy,
as they think it's a game-
A child plays with his toy.


i've been thinking of the fighting and genocide lately.
this...is a response to the fact that so many kids have to fight for their lives over in the middle east.

Winter Has Passed

Winter has passed, the ice is gone,
new life can be seen everywhere.
New hope is felt in each day's dawn,
there is energy in the air.

New life can be seen everywhere,
smiles are seen more frequently.
There is energy in the air,
warm breezes waft by silently

Smiles are seen more frequently,
new hope is felt in each day's dawn.
Warm breezes waft by silently.
Winter has passed, the ice is gone.
