I wish the world were just us two
Huddled together in our own atmosphere
I wish the world were just us two
No place to go and nothing to do
But wishing doesn't bring you here
Neither does an ocean of tears
I wish the world was just us two

My muse has left me…

My muse has left me…

My muse has left me

It thought itself free

It wonders the world

Having forsaken me

Carried away

On a wish and a prayer

Looking for answers

Found god know where

Bound but still separate

In heart and in mind

My muse will return

With love in good time

Generations

Generations

They go where time does not expire

And wait for no new moon

Winter falls in summer’s swoon

The creeping vine begins to seed

A world explodes in endless fire

Mouths fill with the taste of mead

And liquor turns the stoutest liar

Some obstacles become a boon

If, of our lives, we do take head

We walk all day on tight rope wires

And end up with the greatest wound

So shall we soon change our tune?

We make ourselves fulfill our need

Our grandest wish becomes desire

More will come like endless weeds

Of everything you will tire

It will come full circle soon

And the look will be parent to the deed

Mercury's Vow

Mercury’s Vow

And all my sorrows turn to joys in times unlikely number’d

But quickly end with willful sighs to turn smiles e’now

A joyful look, I quickly took as e’re I turn my head

By Mercury, I pledged my vow

I wish only to live in the here and now

Never have meanings wrongly misread

But what will come of this sacred vow?

In public I will not one glistening teardrop shed

Only happy or pleasant face allow

Not to belie or fool, ‘tis that I dread

Br Mercury, I pledge this vow!

Simply Stories

I’d like to believe in fairy tales

But I’m not that naive

Fairy tales are simply stories

Something little girls like to believe

And if you look closely at them

Cinderella is only a maid

Being tortured by stepsisters

Abused by relatives, overworked and underpaid

Everyone’s favorite Snow White

Is the marvelous fluke

A glorified servant

Who marries a Duke!

The best one by far

Is the stone cold fish

Who by choosing her love, loses her voice

How’s that for a wish?

So why must we choose these

Over glamorous tales

I’d rather have something else

Even if that something else fails

Wishing

Wishing

Never wanting, always wishing

There will come a day

When there will be nothing left to say

The heart only has so much blood

And can only break so many times

So if there was ever a way

Time could be written for me

Today the last chance to flee

Before the world comes crashing down

Until there is no cure

There is only so much you can do

It’s not your problem to solve

There’s no reason to get involved

Strangers make the best of friends

As long as no one ever cares

Beg, Borrow, or Steal our way

To money, fortune and fame

Anything we can do to further our names

As long as we promote our cause

If we get our fifteen minutes

I’ll leave the fame, thank you very much

I’m content to just be me

I just wish everyone could see

What I was wishing for

I could never buy in any store

Because no one sells replacement hearts

Neverwere

Calling on powers to appease them

Wish on things can’t be that be

If you won’t be there to save me

I’ll have to rely on me

Now that’s a scary proposition

Having self-reliance like that

I’m not sure I’m up to the challenge

Call me out, I’ll fold like a mat

Weak willed, and lily livered

Just call me a yellow bellied cur

I’m too tired to keep on fighting

Believing in thing that never were

If happiness exists here

Of if true love is around the bend

I believe that it is not for me

But someone should win in the end

I Need My Pain

Can you calm my fears?

I’m drowning in neuroses

You settle them all with a wave and a smile

When I look up again

Did I blink too long?

You’ve disappeared while my eyes were closed

If I wish hard enough

Can I blink you back?

Will you come if I promise to be well be behaved?

The light creeps over the horizon

The sun begins to rise

I have wished away the lonely nighttime

The light is too bright

It burns away the darkness

But sometimes we need the pain to make us who we are

So come to me quickly

Or come after the New Year

But come to me eventually or I will never get over this fear

Beloved/Summons (A Conversation)

I long to see the sunshine.

              You see it every day.

I miss the sea and sand.

In your eyes, their colors lay.

I want to see my beloved,

I miss you just as much!

To walk with her hand and hand.

I miss your very touch!

My beloved, I summon you.

I hear and answer the call.

I call you home to stay.

Why would I wish to be away?

And once you have entered my view,

You are my world, my all!

I promise to be forever with you.

I have no reason to stray.
