Images flash in my mind Memories play back Like an invasive parasite Forcing the reliving Of moments best forgotten Old demons are laughing at me When love fades away And the darkness prevails All gates are open For the hateful spawn to spew forth In my darkest hours I shall rise or shall fall Will I fight or will I succumb to this pain I take a deep breath And plunge into anxiety Forcing myself down This decrepit path A...

Frozen Tundra

Am I dreaming?

The snow was frozen, sparkling in the moonlight.What have I done? How did I lose sight? Did I walk away from the fight that night when you told me not to run? When will our time come? After I begged you to take flight.Broken promisesInside I screamWake me from this dreamWhen I get lost amongst the willingly tossed will you hear me shout your name? Will it sound the same as it did before when death was there beating down t...

Sending Off

What's the score?

Is it fateHow we relateWhen things are greatWe celebrateWe shift and spinHonoring our winIgnoring our sinsThe darkness withinThere is no painFor me to explainNo way to complainWhen we've gone insaneGoing day by dayIs there any other wayShould I simply stayIs it time to walk awayPerhaps a little napA voyage sans mapNo arms around me wrapNo love to fill the gapUntilWe shift one againRushing through our veinsWe find ourselve...

I don't want to hear it.All about how you became this way, Or any way at all. Face all the facts. It was your decision to make your life hell,And now you fall. But don't you tell me such a whiny story. I don't want to hear it, 'cause... Take away the drugs. Take away the booze.Take away the pain that's in the news. Take away the screaming. Take a way the fighting.What is left but peace in this big blue sky? I just want to...

Indian Princess

A woman comes to the end of her life

There’s this old tree stump out in the woods behind my house that I love to sit on. I first found it, at least, twenty years ago and sitting there has brought me much enjoyment for many seasons. When one takes the time to look, there are many wonders constantly taking place in the forest.Parts of the stump are long since rotted away, but there’s enough of the heart left to afford me a good place to sit and ponder the comp...

Safeguard

Inspired by The Gazette's Pledge

Every time that I'm aloneI can’t take it!My mind is screamingNow that I stand hereTorn up thoughts like scraps of paperI can't do thisI am suffocatingSave me, I'm asking won't you please save me?I have been lost so long I feel cast away at seaNow my thoughts they swim, my mind sinkingI need you to please,Need you toSave me...I'll try and surface from the brutal painWill pushing it all down just be in vain?Negotiate with p...

My 25th Beer Anniversary

A Country song where beer makes one woman really pretty

The woman in my life had just left me. She said I’m a loser and a perpetual drunk. I don’t know if she was degrading me. She’s ugly, but she sure had spunk. I went to the bar feeling lonely. My tail had no wag as I drank. A woman just sat down beside me. She asked me if she could be Frank. I said, “Frank, you can be who you want to. If you’d like I can buy you a drink.” Well, she drank with me then and she told me, That I...

In The Depth Of Her Eyes

Look into her eyes and see her true beauty.

A once empty heart now feels fullTugged by another soul’s pullCrossing the pass on a wireWarmed by another souls fireLook deep inside of her eyesFind beauty there few ever seeLook and learn from her heartWhat others could not hope to beIn the depth of her eyesWhen the first light of day fills the roomYou know she will have to leave soonNow your heart feels empty and tornYou find that you’re craving her moreYou watched as...

Letting Go

Enough love was never enough.

We live our lives inside a dreamBelieve we know what it all meansI tried to show you what I thought was realAnd can’t you seeIt’s hurting meI won’t let goAnd I want you to know That it’s youYou mean that much to meTaking time to watch love growQuestioning what wouldn’t showI always told you just how much I caredYet you won’t tellWhat your heart feltI’m letting goAnd I want you to know That it’s youYou mean that much to me...

Feeling The Music

A fum song to sing when up or down

Feeling The Music By Pirate60 Inspired By Mzhyper I hear a boom, boom, boom As the music fills the room It starts a beat, beat, beat That travels into my feet For the music is the magic, and magic is the beat It’s in my mind, it’s in my soul, a most harmonic treat And the joys that I’m feeling, of these I can not stop I’ll be move’n and groove‘n; and dancing till I drop On the floor or in the street I spin and twirl with...

Days of the past slipping by. Time is running and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I caused so much pain, Or maybe it's because I'm losing you today. Only a few hours left before the night. I can't help but feel that this is the time. So much to say and no where to start. I guess I'll try tomorrow but, What if I never see the sunrise? What if I die tonight? It feels like tomorrow's never coming, And I hope it never do...

Me Tale Song

It is a sea song

I be a ruthless pirate, I sings me a jolly good rhyme. In every port and bar I go, I haves me a bloody good time, On the sea I be bad, At least I pretends ta be. Yet, instead of this tankard of swill I drink, I’d rather have a spot of tea. I be known as Black Beard, The scourge of the briny deep. But the tales of me be exaggerated some, Like the treasures I did reap. In truth me ship be old, And, like me crew, it leaks. O...
