O LADY

O Lady of the Silver Bow
I wish to follow where you go.
What joyfullness your presence brings!
Teach me of the wild things.

O Lady of the Silver Moon
Your light doth cause my heart to swoon!
And in the rhytm of the tides
My virgin spirit's song abides.

O Lady of the Siver Way
With you I long to roam and play!
To dance with faery, gnome, and elf,
To know my wild, authentic self!

ICARUS HEART

My heart, it was a replica

A waxen, life-like thing

A multi-colored beauty,

With feathers glistening.

And with it I could soar so high

I forgot it wasn't real

Until I felt a glow inside;

Warmth I began to feel.

Was it your beaming smile

Or the glimmer in your eyes?

Something made the sun within

My True heart start to rise.

But it was in this gath'ring light

I fear my doom was dealt.

My feathered winged facsimile

Began to promptly melt.

What formerly held me aloft

No longer let me fly.

Beneath the formless waxen weight

I plummet from the sky.

But in the dawning of my heart

As light and warmth shone through,

I knew I weren't just falling --

I was falling now for you.

The fire in my heart burned off

The false wings of the past

Allowing what was True and present

Here to beat at last.

Then as I fell, my True Heart blazed,

The rush of wind took hold,

And in a cloud of feathered bliss

My heart's true wings unfold.

BRIAN JACQUES & JONATHON FRAKES

Brian Jacques and Jonathon Frakes
were sitting down for tea
Said Jonathon Frakes to Brian Jacques,
"What animal would I be?"
Brian Jacques told Jonathon Frakes
"It doesn't matter, you see --
For Jonathon Frakes," said Brian Jacques,
"You're number one to me!"

HOW EASY

How easy it would be to simply
Go on back to sleep
Pretend away the hurt and pain
And pray my soul to keep

But good or bad, that's not my path
My slumber days are done
Let fade the dreams and make believe
I rise and greet the sun

The old world I leave far behind
Navigating through it's strings
I may fall but can no longer
Pretend I don't have wings

MAY YOUR GODS AND GUIDES

May your gods and guides protect you
May your journey ever go
With the blessings of the seasons
By the light of faery glow.

May your heart resound with laughter
As it's overfilled with Love
From the fountain spring within you
And the waxing moon above.

Through your trials and your triumphs
May your light forever sing
As you weave the splendored beauty
Of the sparkling crow-birds wing.

BEFORE I KNEW YOU

Before I knew you, I didn't need you
Now I don't know if I can live without you
Well, I know I could, I would get on somehow
The question is, why would I really want to?

You are the moon reflecting on my ocean
You are the rainbow curving through my sky
You lift me up beyond mere survival
You have become the twinkle in my eye

Without you what would be the point in waking
Of course I would, though I wouldn't know why
Not accomplishing much more than breathing
Treading water while the world rolls by

You are the faery lights dancing through my forest
You are the shimmering stars peopling my night
I don't need you just to go on living
But you are that extra spark that makes my heart right

FORGIVE ME IF THESE LINES ARE ROUGH

Forgive me if these lines are rough
My poet's hand is rusty
But here before me stands a muse
So beautiful and lusty
My pen can't help but move itself
Although its ink is crusty
To express a vibrant love
Of a heart no longer dusty

~September 26, 2008

I don't know what I'm doing
But I guess that that's okay.
My head keeps trying to figure it out,
My heart just sings all day.
My mind keeps on insisting
That it get to have it's say.
Screw my mind! It had it's chance!
It's time for Love to play!
