The meadow.
As I walk out of the valley.
I see a meadow, a meadow full of death.
What is in this meadow, but the smell Of the forgotten souls of victims. I see smoke, I see holes and I see barbed wire. And rotten flesh.
As I walked into the meadow I looked at the sky The sky was clear, it's a sunny day. The reinforcements arrive to clean the mess.That the government caused on this meadow.
As I walked away from the meadow I came back.Knowing more destruction will follow,Yet in later years it gloomed and now I see is a meadow full of life.

The sugar bows to the base
he wilts pleading his case
alive and dead in one day
alive and dead in many ways
the wakings intent between the lament
i had flown into a town with no vent
space lights thru the Iguazu trees
catacomb burial: repeat and repeat.

If something happened to me tomorrow
Would you all feel regret
Or may be even sorrow
Knowing that my life was taken
From an early start
Would you all reveal that you loved me?
With all of your heart
Knowing that you never could have never revealed it
When I was alive and well
If something happened to me
Would you all sit back and tell
Of all the foolish things I did
When I was alive
If something happened to me
And I did not survive
Would you all cry?
Or come to my funeral
If something happened to me
Would you all feel happy or sad?
Realizing that my soul is now set free

About this poem:
If something did happen to me, I would be curious to know how everyone who knew me would react. I wasn't liked that much, and it would just make me wonder if anyone would mourn the loss of my life.

Was this life meant to be
Are the pedals of this rose
Ready to wither and close
Is there a reason for everything
When you wake in the morning
And hear the song birds sing
How much pain can I endure
My sickness sadness and sorrow
Will I ever see another tommorrow
I really don't know anymore
I don't know if I can take it
It hurts too much when I fake it
Not knowing is the worst of all
When I cry out all of my tears
Will I be ready to face my fears
There are times when I feel so alone
With all the darkness of time and space
I often wonder am I part of the human race
Whatever happens I will always shine
I'm born as a brilliant gleaming star
My light shines forever no distance to far
Give me all you're power and strength
Not to give up and shut down my light
I will be with you always look for me tonight
My mind keeps turning when will it stop
I can't explain the swirling thoughts in my head
When all has been done and everything said
Live each day like its you're very last
My loved ones will never forget me too
I will remember them my love for them so true!

It's been a little while since my beloved was here
As I sit and think about the love we shared
I know that I can't bring back his life
I'm also aware that I can talk to him still now
For it's never a time to kiss him Goodbye
We don't have all the answers in our life
I'm sure that he is happy where he is
As I look to the heavens and see the light
The light is peaking in where the shadow was
Filling the Heart with a warm glow
Leaving a lasting impression upon my soul
As we hear the music of the spheres play
Don't Kiss Them Goodbye for they are here
Still walking amongst us in spirit
As we walk through our grieving time
And we come out the other side with peacefulness
It's a journey that plays havoc with our emotions
This aspect of life gives us the greatest trouble
Yet, it's the one that stretches us the most
To be our best potential and rise to the challenge
Of keeping ourselves disciplined to take care
Helping ourselves get well in the process
To become all we are meant to be on this planet
As we reach the summit champions of our life
Don't Kiss them Goodbye because we need them
To always be close by to guide and protect
Us from the harm of unconscious folks who
Don't recognize what their actions have created
Kiss them Hello as you open your eyes each day
Saying a prayer that we may do the will of God
And always think that we are on the way
To meeting these spirits and kissing them Hello...
Love Always

About this poem:
It's about the loss of a loved one. I wrote it because people have a difficult time letting go. They also have a difficult time with remembering that their loved one is still very near to them and I wanted to bridge that gap for them. I feel wonderful when I can be a channel for such beautiful messages.

Beyond the veil is life eternal
No pain or suffering to endure
We won't go there until we've done our work here
This is when we come full circle...
Time ticks away and passes on moment by moment
Why is it we rush time so much?
Going with the Flow seems very difficult
Yet, this is what we must learn to do
Life is like a Story
A beginning, middle and an end
We are co-creators of our own book
Hopefully, we live it to rise to glory
Many friends have gone behind the veil
One day we will all meet again
We won't go though until it is our time
When God calls us home to rest in peace with him...
Love Always

It's been some time since I've seen you smile, but then
I've hardly seen you at all
Are you still doing that same old dance
In that fatal new age ball?
If you could see out your window tonight, you could
See a billion stars
Tell me does anything shine for you
In that distant place you are
(chorus)
I never thought I would see you here
Of all of the places we've been
Oh, how I miss you
Friend
I remember our high school days, and that
Crazy way you laughed
Now you just stare off into space
Are you ever coming back?
(chorus)
All the girls were so crazy for you
And you were so crazy for them
Oh how I miss you
Friend
(bridge)
The road was hard, it was long sometimes
Nobody said it was easy
So you took a little something
To ease the pain
And now you've drifted so far away
Can you even hear me?
Oh, it felt so good not to hurt anymore
You took it again and again and again
I hear the wind on the window pane, and my
Voice is running low
I just don't know how to reach you
And I don't know what to say anymore
(chorus)
Visiting hours are over now
And I don't know if I'll see you again
Oh how I'll miss you
Friend
Oh how I'll miss you
Friend

About this poem:
This is a song lyric that I wrote about visiting my best friend in the hospital after he had taken a massive overdose of hallucinagenics and other drugs and regressed to a catatonic state. After years of hospitalization and therapy, he was finally released, where he commited suicide. The devastation wrought by drugs is so widespread and so deeply felt.

For an eternal memory of a dear
what we could always scribe
Countless memories that the weather
isn't be able to wipe
There's times when we lose
a brother, a partner, a friend
We can't ever hide the pain,
what we can do is pretend
This pain in my heart will stain,
but hold to it I will
He might have past away,
in my heart he is living still
Some people leave, some people stay,
this is the way of life.
It follows in a hideous way,
it stabs you with a knife.
We fight it all until we die,
'n no one will survive
We now it costs tears and cry,
'n eventhough we dive
Because we know,
That after all the sun will rise 'n shine
'n I will be surprised, 'n wow,
The world is full, not so dull 'n also very mine
For those who have passed away,
remember you we will
Your memory is captured in the heart,
'n there it is still

I never got,
to see the light of day.
I never got,
to breathe in the air.
I never got,
a chance to play.
I never got,
to stop and stare.
At the beauty,
that would of sourrounded me.
I never got,
a chance to just be.
S.O.B.
If there's a god.
He's a greedy S.O.B.
He can not but see,
the deserving un happy.
I'll sell my soul to the devil.
All that is me.
If it would re-join this woman
with her un-born baby.

I saw again
another room
housing stranger
sights to see.
In it was many a fool
chaperoned by demon's hand.
And affixed to every
limb and joint,
a slender thread
of darkest black
secured to the tightest tight.
These victims, like
those before,
mastered not
their own
faculties,
functioning not
like you or I
until provoked to shriek
and cry.
Each scaly, winged demon thus
did with them as they wished.
One man was made to dance through fire
another choked his comrades with their wires.
Before I could
begin to think
to look for
my fellow men,
a familiar tugging
pulled me along.
Dimmer, harder
to see on.
On this sojourn,
I believe,
many more
had gone before
and ever still
new souls to come.
Every step
I undertook
carried the weight
of all damned down
this despicable trail.
I knew of course
my stop to be
set aside especially
keen on my misery.
But until I reached
my destination,
I did partake in some
slight schadenfreude.
