'Eternal Deadlock'


'Eternal Deadlock'


That is where we are

He won't even give an inch

And I won't go that far.

It started many years ago

And much to my dismay

I didn't know the reason

'Till my life had slipped away

And then it seemed so foolish

I didn't even care.

He'll have to take his hate to hell

And I will join him there.

'Electric Encounter'



'Electric Encounter'


Caught in its field

As our eyes met

Compelling...

We stood in the moment

Hearing just hearts

Primal beat

The ancient drums

That kindle

Love's sweet flame.

'Crescendo'


'Crescendo'


The fiddler plays

Whilst I ride the

Strains of sadness

In his song.

He knows that he can

Carry me along

To re-live with him

The moment that we died

When love was lost

No matter what we tried.

Play...Fiddler....Play!

Till our hearts have shed

And pool of sorrows bled

That I may someday

Ride with you

On strains of light

To new and awesome

Journeys in the night...

'Futile'


'Futile'


I planted

A field of Flowers

To harvest seeds

The devil

plucked them all

And left the weeds.

'The Gun'


'The Gun'


Precision to perfection

Work of art

Solid...heavy

Demanding respect

Smooth to the touch

Hungering for powder

and pellet

For which it was born

to taste.

It spews forth

With trigger

Action haste

Just doing what it

was designed to do.

Are YOU?

'Silent Friend'


'Silent Friend'


To my secret place

Where hollow tree

Stands serene

I run for solace

I touch...then grasp

And squeeze

This dead old tree

Until my shaking yields

and settles

Into calm embrace

Awakened from

Life's tangled web

and stilled the

Rumblings Roar

Consented to forgive

and thankful unto

God once more...

'The Lie'


'The Lie'



How often we kill

The truth with a lie

Never thinking what

Demons...loose

Now can fly...

Circling like vultures

Waiting for chances

The lie grows bigger

The vulture glances

Waiting to go

right in to attack

His target the Liar

There's no turning back..
