Alone in Plain Sight

 

Standing alone in plain sight
Keeping our intentions clear 
Shouldering on into the fight
Masking our peace and fear

Trying to keep intentions clear
We march forth into the fray
Suppressing our peace and our fear
We sit alone at the end of the day

We march forward into the fray
Never begining to doubt
Are we alone at the end of the day?
Time to make a whisper a shout

My love, don't ever doubt
We shoulder into the fight
Making our whisper into a shout
Standing alone in plain sight

Earthly Delights

The light of your eyes shines bright
When you spy me across the way
You make me feel so right
The way you coruscate
____________________________________

You take me to the highest height
With every word you say
This love I cannot fight
I'd follow you any where
____________________________________

When with you my soul's alight
I feel simply fay
I know that it will be alright
Under the hand of fate
____________________________________

Together there's nothing we cannot fight
We will always rule the day
Sharing in all earthly delights
You will always be there

Hourglass

Tired of playing ifs or ands
Watching the glass run out of sand
Time is foremost on my mind
Pages turn and years unwind
Tomorrow is gone, no more is the light
Anguish unbarring, the struggle, the fight
Decisions will come, time will seem brief
Taken away by the words of a thief

Closing in, almost a win

Tomorrow seems so far away

A long night, a bitter fight

Keeping creeping nightmares at bay

The sun appears and as the end nears

The fear is gone and dying

Time is telling, Joy is welling

There can be no denying

Countdown (168)

If I start a countdown now

That doesn’t make me horrible

It just makes me tired

Sick of the pain and heartbreak

It’s a purposeless fight

Burning through energy

I could use so much more

Time better spent elsewhere

If there is a reason

I can’t find it

Like a vestigial organ

No longer needed

Why should I suffer

If I will never

Bare a mother’s fate?

I don’t need to suffer

To be a woman

If I will never be a mother

As Lady MacBeth said

Unsex me here

Please?

The Dog Days of Summer

The Dog Days of Summer

The heat is gone

 But now it’s back

August is dragging on

Laying out on the lawn

But only if, an umbrella you pack

And August is dragging on

I know that time still marches on

Although sometime it seem to go forth and not back

And August keeps dragging on

I don’t understand the game in which I’m a pawn

As the Dog Days of Summer at your heels, will bark

And, still, uninterruptedly, August drags on and on…

When will it end? It keeps plowing on

Telling me, waiting, knowing they can keep a mark

Down they say,

                            One more day!

                            One more day!

              And August no more will drag on

              Although we long will be gone

              Free to hide and fight on

              Or walk and write on

              Our battle will be ceased

              Because we know

How August always drags on!
