Yesterday I was thinking about tomorrow,
and now tomorrow is today.
Today I need to save time to make time
'cause I don't have time to waste time.
...

Is anyone of a sound mind,
just how is it defined?
One's thoughts may be kind
or wicked, like a demon's mind,
...

...

For months we have planned
a joyous, festive day,
and to the family's dismay
he did not understand.
...

Two paths meet at the subway station
as she escapes desolation,
He approaches her amorously
offering her a new life, glamorously.
...

Every morning I wake and see
people and ponder their normalcy,
coming or going, all seem to know
a felicitous face to bestow.
...

An orange-red hue
glowing on distant mountains,
spring forest fires.
...

Lying still on cliffs,
...

We are singing once again
'Peace on earth, good will to men'
as our troops return from Iraq,
rejoicing to be back
...

They are our country's peacekeepers
these soldiers perished in peril,
we are their memory keepers.
...

Life is all that's meant to be
a journey, with mountains to climb
high tops and deep valleys, some times
life offers no guarantees.
...

Once his life was a silly game
until a life-long dream became
a famously true story
sparkling with glitter and glory,
...

Narcissus coveted his majestic reflection
an obscure reflection,
A lucent image he would seek
this ancient image of Greek,
...

My heart is
broke in half
and
devils laugh
...

No two are the same
they quietly fall
gently enthrall,
It's autumn, snowflakes came,
...

A soft voice whispers in my ear
I pretend not to hear,
The voice becomes loud, austere.
losing control, I adhere,
...

My lovely daughter has a fiance now
and I don't know how
or if I should ask,
is their love real
...

We are to give thanks once more
so let us not forget our poor
and our proud soldiers in this ruthless war,
Let us give thanks for.....
...

I've been called 'a piece of work'
'a drama queen', with a smirk,
The things I've seen and the voices I've heard,
to others, would seem absurd.
...

Another decade has passed by,
it seems like yesteryear
We tossed our cocktails high
wishing each and all good cheer.
