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!
