Work To Play:
Take Life For Today
Don’t Let It Go To Waste
Make The Memories Stay
Deliberate To Haste
I Hear The Morning Cry
The Birds, They Sing Then Fly
Catch Fish With Some Rods
And Overcome Impossible Odds
Let’s Drink The Great, Sweet Wine
To Join Us When We Dine
Feel The Music Within
Life Too Can Be Devine
I Often Play The Fool
Jump When You Say Go
Race Within The Pool
How I Want To Take It Slow
Yes Fine Tune And Bloom
Fine Tune My Tools
What Ever You Desire
I’ll Always Want More
Let’s Sing And Then Regret
To The Places We Forget
The Times Of Our Great Friends
I Wonder If We Met
Believe In Reincarnation
Keep Potential Alive
Because In The Sea Of Damnation
Only The Strong Minded Survive
When The Fun Is Over
How You Want To Sing
Life Then Can Then Surprise You
Surprise To Anything
Look Up To The Sky At Night
See The Shining Light
Life Again, I See
Infinite And Free
The Potential Vast And Silent
Hope We Aren’t To Late
As We Work To Play
Yes Sometimes We Work To Play
Play Out Our Fate
Know Your Limitations
Life’s The Only Thing I Own
I Know Not What I Want
But How I’m Nearly Grown
Take Me As I Want It
Don’t Give Me All That Sort
Of Rubbish And Assorted
Life Is Way Too Short… -

High O\R Low?:
Some Still Dreaming
Some Still Soothing
Yeah That’s Okay
Today Still Some Peeling
Yeah Some Reeling, So Pathetic Really
Are You
Are You The One Still Following
Yeah You Are The One That Kept Swallowing That Amaurotic Faith
Hook, Line, Fool And Sinker
And I Just Got Accused
Yeah I Got Amused
I Just Was, Was I?
Yeah Always A Thinker
…And Justice For All
Remember
Yeah Remember That Last Cold December
You Never Couldn’t
Remember
You Can’t Sedate
Yeah You Can’t Sedate All The Things You Hate
That’s Ok, Always Ok By Me
That You Still Like To Debate
Yeah Still Like To Hate
Cause I Am We
And We Are Many
Yeah Always Happy – Deciding On Our Own Fate
When I Might
Yeah When I Die
Don’t Really Care If You Cry
Yeah Don’t Be Afraid, But
Just Put Me And My Music
In Our Own Motorcade
Yeah In My Own Death Parade
…And Make Sure I’m In The Shade
Yeah Not Near Your Zone
Cause I’ve Always Liked
Yeah Always Liked To Be Alone
Good It Is
Now That Your Eyes Really Can See
High And Low
Yeah Both Behind And In Front Of You, Even Me
And Maybe To; Agree, Let’s See
Yeah Do You Now Agree
That The Crack Inside Your Fucking Heart, Is Not
And Never Was Me
They Always Were Your Seeds
Yeah Your Foul Seeds To Sow
If You Don’t Dance, You’re Dead
If You Don’t Regret, You Cry
If You Don’t Live, You Slide
Yeah If You Don’t Love, U Might Just Die
Time Is A Nuisance To All
Yeah To All That Consume It
Like A Slow Releasing Poison
Making It’s Mark
Sometimes Making It Spark In The Dark
Yeah It Creeps Up
It Creeps Up On Thee
To One Day Set You Free
Yeah All In All We Cannot See
The Timing
…And The Tuning Of Our Musical Strings
Yeah The Timing To Set Us Free
A Time To Decide What To Bring
\Why Does It Exist
There Is No Why
Yeah It Simply Does
In The Sky Land Or Water
High Or Low – What’s The Time Now
Cause I Got To Go
Yeah I’ve Gotta Go Back To My Own
Space Time,
My Time So I Can Glow
Yes Flow Down The River Of My Next Life
Yeah, Just Say On With The Show. -

True eXisTenZ:
The Balls Of Glowing Gases
Never Look The Same Way
They’re Twinkling In The Sky
At A Zillion Miles Away
Massive Immovable Objects
Yet Moving All The Time
Always Getting Larger
The Question In The Back Of My Mind
Imagine The Great Distances
That Separate Each Lonely Star
Imagine It, How Can You
No Matter How Advanced You Are
Our Existence Is Truly Enigmatic
Yes, True Existence
True Existenz We All Are
At Night
I See The Stars Moving
I Wonder At The Sight
Or Are We Just Spinning
In The Infinite Sky Tonight
Hydrogen And Elements Found
In Our Domain To This Day
They Act As Fuels For Such Light And Sound
Life Within The Milky Way
Stars Stand For Things Far And Wide
Any Places, Any Thing
Constellations That Just Can’t Hide
Or Can They, An Enigmatic Thing
Yet, This We Do Not Know
Don’t Think We Could Handle It
Otherwise We’d Try And Go
Already, Thus Departed
Turn And Face A Different Star
You Don’t Know Just How Luck You Are
Are You Really Interested
Or Has The Sight
Been Taken In For Granted
Nothing Is Impossible
The Difficulties And Risks May Increase
These Can Be Adaptable
Otherwise Our Dreams Will Cease
Minds Travel At An Extraordinary Pace
The Hopes And Dreams, They Don’t Resist
For There Is No Time And Space
And No Boundaries That Exist
To Think We Are Alone
We’d Have To Be Naïve
For In The Twilight Zone
They Mislead To Deceive
Our Galaxy Is But One Of Many
There Are So Many Far Away
Will We Ever Reach One
Well Maybe One Day… -

A Dream of Love
One night when I fell asleep I had a wonderful dream.
In that dream I saw beautiful and majestic things.
I saw a most beautiful sunset where the reds were as bright as a strawberry.
And with purples so deep you could fall in them.
I saw a most majestic sight, a wonderful flower with bright and beautiful colors.
It was a beautiful lilac, a wonderful fuchsia, and a soft lavender.
But then I saw something more beautiful and majestic than anything I had seen.
It was a familiar girl she had beautiful dark hair, and with lustrous dark eyes.
She had beautiful hair, and a perfect angel's face, and an angel's smile.
She would still be beautiful even if you put her in clothes covered in mud.
She was by far the most beautiful person or object I had seen.
Then I woke up and I realized something.
I know this girl but not as well as I want to be or need to be.
Then I cried for I knew she would never feel the way I feel about her. -

The moon rises in a gentle sweep.
It sits in the sky like the ruler of the night.
It is meant to be seen and not to keep.
It is a powerful force you can not fight.
You feel peacefulness as you sleep.
It is unavoidable even if you use all your might.
It soon leaves with a giant leap.
It is gone for another day but still left its gift of being bright. -

Take time
Take time to look and you will see
Blessings pouring down like rain
Take time to listen
And you may hear the whisper of better things to come
Take time out of your day to pray
And you will find that circumstances will change
Take time to enjoy the beauty of life
And the noise and worries of the day will fade
Take time to thank God for all the good things he brings your way.
Just take time, because time is not always available to take. -

I thought you would see it by now.
No matter what i do, i cant seemto make you proud.
I've been neglected, mistreated, and hurt.
Being with you was an all time perk.
I work so hard for your love and trust.
You're the one who got the best of us.
Now you scream like Hell let lose.
So I'll give you a hug and hand you a nouse.
You can hang me high, so you wont forget my face.
Let the love run dry, dripping in my place.
You made this choice when you told me to leave.
I had nowhere to go.
you didn't appreciate me.
So as i hang here looking down on you, I'll cry one more tear like the girl you knew. -

The NATURE:
Winning Isn’t Everything
In Order To Score
It Takes A Whole Lot
Then A Whole Lot More
Psyche Out The Foe
Question, You Will Know
Learn Out All You Can
You Must Put On The Show
Have You Learned Enough
To Take A Giant Puff
On Your Better One
The One With All The Stuff
You’ve Run Out Of Time
The Time To Act Is Now
Quench For Thirst The Lime
To Repeatedly Show Us How
You Are To Play The Game
Along, They’re All The Same
Some Enjoy The Fame
Pasted With Their Name
Oh My Dear You Lost
Well, Isn’t That The Cost
I Think I’ve Had Enough
Well, Throw It All Away
You’re Going Through A Phase
And On A Perfect Day
You’ll Work Out The Maze
The Labyrinth Within
I’m Thinking I Can Win
When The Time Is Right
You’ll Scream And Dance Right In
I’m In The Middle Now
The Dancing Of The Set
Look And Watch Me How
I Terminate The Bet
The Terminator’s Back
I’m Back And Just Look Out
For The Nature Of My Sack
Then The Nature Of The Spout
You See, You Paid The Cost
Of Playing To Win
You Won But Also Lost
Now You Know, You’re In… -

The Green Dragon:
Standing Out And Looking
I Hold You Close Tonight
Wondering And Thinking
Reality’s Out Of Sight
If And When I See You
I Won’t Know What To Say
Seeing You Is Better
I’ll Remember You That Way
Saying Words To Please Me
You Tear My Heart Apart
Feelings, Now They’re Easy
Especially From The Heart
Life Is Filled With Choices
We See These Every Day
I Hear The Same Old Voices
But Don’t Know What To Say
Take Them All Together
They Wind Up Best This Way
Take Them All Forever
Immortality’s Here To Stay
Waiting For The Winter
To One Day Go Away
You Appreciate The Summer
Funny, Isn’t It I Say
Let’s Drink The Wine Together
It’s Ours And Ours To Drink
And Soon The Cool Sweet Water
The Best Drink, Don’t You Think
Add To This A Lemon, A Little Absinthe To
It’s Pale Yet So Refreshing
Ooh, Here Comes A Dragon
I Think He’ll Find It Quenching
Drink It All Night Long
We’ll Drink Them One And All
Then Maybe Sing A Song
Retire, Then Rest, Then Crawl
Maybe Grow Some Fruit
And Tend To The Placid Sheep
Trip Over The Green Wormwood Root
So We Can One Day Sleep
People, Places, Memories
Experiences Quite Unique
Remember Them As Always
For One Day We Will Meet… -

This is a poem I wrote called " Him"
He changed me from the start
made me who I am
helped me to retain my footing
When the devil grasped my hand
He changed my wicked ways
helped me to understand
that when I feel alone
I'll always have him
He is my heart
My soul
My man
He is my anchor to the ground
and when I feel like breaking down
He'll hold me up until the end
Like Juilet and Romeo
He'd follow me to hell
He'll die if I do
and live while I live
That's how much we love.
I wish others could understand.
Each night I pray to god
and beg god not to take him.
This is how he means to me
He's my everything.
