YOU SEEK ANSWERS BUT FIND ONLY THIN AIR


What causes love to become so fragmented, you can’t tell
where it ends and hate begins
One day you are soaring on the winds of ecstasy
The next you are plunging on the currents of despair


You seek answers but find only thin air.

How does an all consuming love you feel to the depths of your soul
Become a love that devours until there is Nothing left that’s whole
Then with the crumbling parts left bare

You seek answers but find only thin air.

His touch made her tremble with desire
He said her kiss set him on fire
As their passions fused and melted into the moment
They knew this was something they would forever share

Then one month followed another and
soon became a year
Till one day he said she had faults that
he could no longer bear
So she tried all she knew to make
things right
But, he didn’t seem to care
You seek answers but find only thin air.

NIGHTBLIGHT


O fond remembrance of the past That cannot last, that cannot last
Instead, the bitter deeds you brought to nullify all other thought
What bids you come into my mind? When I had put you far behind
So sure was I of finished quest, in which I laid you to your rest

If t'were mere flashbacks I'd not complain
but your visits are soul attacks that cause me pain
And what about the happy parts? you keep them hid
You return to me with things I wish I never did.

Why is there only doom and gloom, without laughter and light
I know I watched the flowers bloom, and that didn't happen at night
And why reveal just the sin, when I know there was grace
Yes, evil almost did me in, but good gave me embrace

It seems that you hold all the keys, there is no hope for me
Unless I find an antidote, that will set me free
Iv'e already tried the fruit of the vine
which puts a glow on for a time
Other drugs used to lessen the regret
wake you with your head and guts playing Russian roulette.

I have come to the end of this useless drama
I will take the advice of my dear Mama
The only answer for a nightmare
is to "Get on ones knees in prayer."

HIDDEN REALM
There is a realm of plenty
I'd like to take you there
It's not recognized by many
As a utopian atmosphere

Though it is not paradise
It's very close my friend
It's a haven for the wise
An ideal that will not end

In this place is unmarred beauty
All desire is pure and true
Not because it is a duty
But because it pleases you
You'll enjoy a calm assurance
That you never had before
While in each and every stance
Your footing will be sure

There is pleasure to be had
Guileless love and romance
Many things to keep you glad
making merry song and dance

In this place is understanding
It's a place one can stand tall
Where no cause is so demanding
That it pressures one to fall

You ask Where is this place
I want to visit there
It's in every person in whose heart
God has the main share.

A VERY GOOD YEAR?
What kind of year will 1999 be
will we again choose prosperity over morality
Or might we rediscover our decency
and treat each other with civility

Can blatant sex take a backseat to romance
Or am I dreaming dreams of long ago
Remember dating with dinner and a dance
when just a kiss could make us all aglow

With all our technological advance
And an economy that's doing so well
Must our culture take the stance
Show me the money, let the rest go to hell

I pray 2000 will be the year
when wisdom will make a return
The worst thing we can do is fear
The lessons that we must learn.
