If there was a chance in hell
That you could save us -
Why don't you try?
...
In the darkness of your sorrow
In the emptiness of grief
When the hope of understanding has gone dim,
From a realm beyond the senses
...
My heart I place upon the line,
Not knowing is the worst -
Have I the right to want for more,
Or if I do, be cursed?
...
Fathers come and fathers go
But this I have to say -
My father may be dead and gone
But I love him to this day;
...
What is that incessant noise?
Irritatingly interrupting my sleep,
Unravelling the edges of a dream.
Slowly I swim to the surface of reality -
...
Remember old Ichabod, last name of Crane
The gangly schoolmaster - some thought him insane
He went to a party on All Hallows' Eve
What happened that night is still hard to believe;
...
Sentiments in bloom
Blossom from my golden pen -
Fragrant petals strewn
...
While lying in a summer field
The sunlight warms my skin,
Bright clouds play hide and seek around
Their hidden shapes within;
...
You brought your light into my world
When life was cold and gray,
You taught me how to change my tune
From sad to light and gay;
...
