Definitely not the one
I thought I’d write
Maybe then the one
I need to write.
Blessed be the time
That I see I’ve done no crime
Only good
For the sake of mankind.
That’s what I’ll write
Fill my pages full of beauty
Or maybe just delight
Yes this I need, I need to write.

Moving forward, moving ahead
Pass the corner, holding back anticipation
As you round the bend, passing the ever present dread
Nothing stands still, nothing remains the same
Touch the hearthstone, let nothing be in vain.
You are cheerful, happy to be here
Stepping lightly, never expressing fear
You’ll arrive in the future with this or another name
Moving forward, moving forward
Forward is the constant in this game.

All is seen, all is glad
Be ye thankful
For all you’ve had
Can’t take it away
Nor make it bad.
Just believe in yourself
And just be glad
You’ve been given
A gift that many
Have never had.

Feeling life from before
Standing here beside me
Saying things
Reliving times gone before.
Joyous reunion
Sad thoughts passing
Hugging life and lives
That lived before.
I know I am one
Who does not stand alone
Beside, in front and behind
Are those whose lives
Have lived before.

Liar, liar
Don’t know how
Don’t know where
Won’t listen, nor see
Liar, liar
Standing in front of me.

Wonder is what I’ve got
As I reach, reach out and see
The beauty, the majesty of all living things
Knowing they are all part of me.

Been sick, hear me retch
Vacant vacuum been sick.
Time passes, sickness flows
Nausea sickens, this night is very old.

When I felt your heart next to mine
When I saw my life and yours intertwined
My soul was full and so sublime
When I was yours and you were mine.

April Fools’ ~ Hah! Hah!
You tricked me
You made me think it was true
I believed you
April Fools’
Was I so innocent?
Was I so full of you?
April Fools’
April Fools’
You believed you were my world
And thought I loved you too
April Fools’
April Fools’ too.

House of cards
Comes crashing down
Never built on solid ground
No ace, jack nor king
Only a queen in mourning.
