~ Celestial Summons ~ 

Celestial spirits
summon specific suitors
shadows softly sing
stars stir, searching select souls
shaping serendipity.

~ The Moon Who Lost Her Mojo ~ 

Disenchanted by the crossfire
of heart versus head
the moon saw the future
and faced it with dread 

the heart was always breaking
never knowing why
the head, it always knew
but figured, what’s one more goodbye? 

broken and betrayed
heart blamed the head
and moon could not be a hero
to a key player, left for dead 

the battle is lost
light bleeds from the stars
leaving a mojo-less moon to reign
over silence and scars.

~ After Forever ~

After forever
when they sing our song
with timeless lyrics about eternal spirits
we will nod and think
they almost got it right...

Love sits tall, where She cannot be missed
on the greatest rock jetting out from the ocean.
An alluring presence, the siren that She is.
She sings softly, deeming tonight is my time.
Her melody floats on the breeze
lulling my senses until, hypnotized, I seek Her out...

Mind
battles
to trump Heart.
The path is clear
yet paved with sorrow.
Regret, the driving fuel
pushes them through tomorrow
and doesn’t fight the temptation
to carry pieces of yesterday.
Mind smiles in glee as Heart lags behind
Its ingenious plan to team with Regret
is working to make Heart too heavy
so that it gives in to the pain.
But Soul stands in the middle
and echoes what Heart knows.
Now, two against one
fight to survive.
Each knows they
will not
win.

~ When all is said and done ~

In a busy city, life speeds past your window
everyone has someplace else to go
too much time is spent
on the bigger picture
what is real, gets lost among the rush.

In a quiet town, the emptiness is haunting
peacefulness plays a game of hide and seek
sacrificing the future
for the Gods of yesterday
when night comes, what do you bring to bed?
what do you bring to bed?...

In the still of the night
I wait for you.
You said you would be here
where two roads meet. 

When we first met here
our hearts collided.
You picked them up
we gave each the other's to keep...

~ The Angel and the Hound ~ 

On the wings of transgression, an angel flies
while the night is still young
hope is not lost 

she knew that fire burned him, burned within him
and that wildfire would push him to the edge
she also knew his goodness was inherent
and she sought to save him from himself...

Sometimes at night I lay in bed
and try to remember
when we used to be friends...

~ In Darkness and Love ~ 

I saw you through the clouds of someone else’s fears
in that place where all reason disappears
silent and brooding, misunderstood
a dark angel, they saw more harm than good...
