The Poems

A Song For Tammy

If I could gather all the feelings thats are scattered in my heart, all the love and sadness that was slowly torn apart,

I'd grow them into roses sweet the blossooms soft and true, I'd run across this desert land and bring them all to you.

Once icy cold and tired orb my life compelled by fire, Once thorny weed, now blooming rose my heart filled with desire.

In this life, to make a rose, some bitter seeds are sown, But yours has been the sweetest love my heart has ever known.

I will love you forever

For years to come, the stars will run,
from blazing sun each day.
A Fable told, a Life grows cold,
and dreams are sold away.

Though we may fight, throughout the Night,
a distant Light may call.
Like wodden mast, or walls held fast,
one day at last we fall.

But fear not Sleep, nor thoughts held deep,
the Pain we keep inside.
For dawn will wake, and Day may break
as Life we take in stride.

(For Heather)

I've danced with Satan on a frozen wire
seen good men go to the blazing pyre
I've walked with the Father in the morning light
And tried to decide whats wrong , whats right.

Through Fire and Ash, the Spirit of hope
was thrown to me like a lifesaving rope
Too precious to save, the ongoing Feast
Too harmful to lose the ravaging Beast

The child I hold, so safe in my arm
Sheltered from cold, protected from harm
With eyes like a diamond, and smile like a gem
I would give anything, to see her again

Shining Light, the brightest I've known. Make kindess,love, and lonliness one.

A gentle glade, your heart a calming breeze, reflecting deep desire.

Wild waves plunder the shore of my hear, when tides of love ebb, as seperate we become.

Oh stars, Thy distant light shines on desert dry, and forest green, and renews my love which I embrace as life,

And fill my heart in one moment of love. * * * * * * * * * * *

I woke up this morning, and the entire world had vanished.
Sometimes fog is like that

* * * * * * * * * * *

Father time, have you come for me? It seems a line is thrown to me.

The axe of Fate has come my way a final date will make me pay

Your icy gaze sends chills to the bone Father Time, have you come alone?

Laugh, laugh at you dont ask me to dare Your stony touch dont ask me to care

Mother says can i shed a tear? for all this time, I just got here.

I met a dark stranger while walking one day Which way he was going he just couldn't say

We talked about things and the dreams that we had but the tone of his voice still sounded so sad

He spoke of a girl that had left him one night Not to return from the darkness in Light

His emptiness grew until it was clear the end of this Journey is never too near

He spoke, I recall of the Sorrow he said was somehow familiar as once memories fled

A vision of love whos life is now gone Brought it all back been gone for too long

To the stranger I asked "What road you will take?" He looked to the distance afraid now to speak

We parted that day with a clearness of thought An image of Life the stranger still sought

But loooking back now the stranger I've seen no nameless life, just the stranger I've been

The wheels of time keep traveling on. Im halfway there and very little done.

Time grows short soon comes to an end. To face the father and time here defend.

The dreams I have still growing wide. A path or direction I still must decide.

But one who is precious her love I can see that one fleeting smile means oceans to me.

So years come and go like ashes and flame. A counting of worth

with just me to blame. My legacy lies in a child with love, Remember me always when stars shine above.
