'The Critics Pawn'
'The Critics Pawn'
My heart aches
From repressed joy
I want to let it out
But people who are
Supposed to love me
Keep hands clamped
Tightly over my mouth!
Breathing is hard...
I think I forget to breathe
The hurt is bad
I want to live
But I cannot...
My tears are welling up
I am choking...
Help me!

'Epitaph To Earth'
'Epitaph To Earth'
Oh...Mother Earth
Hold us once again
to your breast
Just one more chance
To preserve Nature's best
For it is spring...
Yet the grass stays brown
Trees wear no green crown!
No flowers fair
To scent the putrid air
The birds are still
Smog blotted out the sun
Now painful knives the chill
Some said this would happen...
But who believed?
Mother Earth...dying...whispers
Too late now for a solution
Cause of death? Man's pollution.

'Solar'
'Solar'
He stood at the foot
Of the giant
Begging for crumbs
And was told...
"We'll bury this
country in soot...
'Till the sun
By the foot
Can be sold!

'Legacy 2050'
'Legacy 2050'
They dubbed
Their leader's speech
"The Sky Is Falling"
A witty bunch...those Americans
Lovers of play
Machines of every sort
For every kind of sport
How strange they look
Their thirst now stilled
And our museum's filled
With monuments to Madness.

'Run Home to Mother
'Run Home to Mother'
Oh breeze...you cool
My troubled brow
With sweet caress.
Leaves rustle too
A sympathetic tenderness
Sparrow and chipmunk
Come to see
Withholding song and chatter
Sensitive to me...
The great strong oak
Supports me as I cry
And loans me strength
From its supply.
Refreshed ...
I lie back now
Near flowers
In this woodland sod
My head in Mother Nature's lap
Thank you for her...God.

'Fortress'
'Fortress'
Would that I
Have words
To shape
The Golden key
To fit your heart...
For you have
Armored it well
and sealed it shut
With molten lead.
Remembering the fire's pain
From those you've loved
But not again..
No..not again.
The treasure
You once gave so freely
Locked inside
Safe now
From pillagers....

'Let It Grow'
'Let It Grow'
We're
Like flowers
Bursting forth
with beauty
Sharing freely
What we feel
If our gift
In youthful bud
Escapes the critics heel...

'Death Valley'
'Death Valley'
Harsh winds blow
In summers heat
I feel their chill
Pulling me into
despair.
Of what use
When the spirit's dead...
To stumble on
With the enemies at large
lined up to be the one
who throws the
final spear?

"The Elusive Golden Ball"
"The Elusive Golden Ball"
Warm Sunshine
Fills my mind
and heart
and soul
this day.
Joyous bubble
Hope that you
Will stay
Where are you
When I'm down
and out?
Shielded from
my eyes?
Would that I
could call you out
From hidden
Shapes disguise...
Have blue birds
Circle 'round
my head
and flowers
'Neath my feet
and every day
Warm sunshine
fill
A dream of dreams
So sweet...

'Vagabond'
'Vagabond'
Don't judge me 'cause
You think all's well
Perhaps I've heard
Night's wanton cry
And looked into
The Eye of Hell!

'Devil's Toy'
'Devil's Toy'
I am the devil's toy
He throws me up
to watch me fall.
He throws me up
Against a wall.
A sadist he
Waits till the
Time is right
Then tearing me
Apart with spite
This same old ground
Again I've trod
When will it end?
Please help me..God!

'Nine-Eleven`
'Nine-Eleven`
Come into my temple
Where it is safe
Where you
Will shine forth in love
Where evil doth not dare to
Rear its ugly head.
I will wrap my cloak
Around you
and sustain you
in all things.
I will erase
the memories of pain
and lead you into the light.
I will comfort you always...
And show you
miracles unending.
Do not be afraid...
for I am with you.
The dust will settle
from the tragedy on earth
And they will find your dust
and empty shells
But you are safe
here with Me...
Those left behind
will mourn you
because you have been stolen
from them.
I say to them...
be not filled with sorrow
Hold on to one another
and bring peace
Into the dust filled rubble.
For I am King...
and I will punish those
Who slashed
that ugly scar upon
The lovely day I sent.
Vengeance is Mine.

'Stages'
'Stages'
I opened my eyes
I was their prize
I played I smiled
A Winsome child
I danced ..I pranced
Became entranced
I joked ..I smoked
Twice almost choked
I swayed...I laid
Afraid..I prayed
I laughed..I cried
Until I died..

'Enclave'
'Enclave'
When all the pain
Is gone
There is an
Empty space
A room
Swept clean
By sorrows
Stormy wake
A silence now
A peace prevails
Perhaps
I WILL survive...

Will teach you
That time
Is all there is...

Give me something

That I can build
That I can BE!

'Miracle of Tears'
'Miracle of Tears'
The pain we feel
When being born
The pain of life
and
dying.
Are soothed inside
Our hearts and minds
by the simple act of crying.

'The Lesson'
'The Lesson'
Don't trade gold for copper
'Less you like to live regret.
Copper shines a little while
And lures you..you can bet.
The shine won't last
And you will cry
And yearn to
Once more hold
That lovely living
Wonder giving
Loving piece of gold!

'Act Now'
'Act Now'
Cover your anger
With sadness
And depression
Will set in
You can't ignore
The Beastie
When he's crawling
"Neath your skin
Take anger out
And look at it
And scream and rant
and rave!
Release the poison
Eating you
Or suffer to your grave!
