I am me aren’t I?
Because you are you
A part of me says bye
Because I am split in two
There is the me
There is the other self
That wants to be free
And set the me on a shelf
The shadow me wants control
Malevolent this side is not
The driver seat is it’s goal
But, I wonder a lot
If both halves are more alike
Does it really matter who drives?
Or should one take a hike?
Or co-exist as two lives?

Oh Angel
Oh Angel
Come away from the dark
Spread your wings in light
Listen to the morning lark
Outside is really bright
Oh Angel
Oh Angel
Turn now and come back
Do not go into the night
Your wings will crack
They won't be so bright
Oh Angel
Oh Angel
You can't come back if you go
This choice is not a wise one
Don't go into the pit below
You belong here with the sun
Oh Angel
Oh Angel
Oh how you have fallen
You're light will dim
Didn't you hear me callin'
This is a grave sin

Gilded Cage
My soul resides in a cage
Books are my only friends
I smile with every page
But every story ends
Sadness creeps over me
I find another book
When will I be set free?
Will you ever look?
Can you see and hear?
Will you see my soul?
Will you run in fear?
Or swallow me whole?
I know darkness
I see you for you
I must confess
You are just like me too

A Passing Dream
In the early morning light
I see your face
And everything’s alright
Our hearts race
Your hand touches me
Gently you caress
Every curve that you see
No need to impress
I kissed those lips
You kissed my neck
We touched finger tips
It was like I forgot the wreck
I woke up in the night
And you were gone
The memory out of sight
I know I have to move on

Reminiscent
There you are
Now you’re herememories so farFading with a tear
All is now a memory
Worn, torn, and faded
My perception sensory
is blurred and shaded
If the bad ones have to go
The good ones must go too
One set is painful and slow
The other simmers like a stew
So they all must be gone
Out of mind and out of sight
By the first rays of the new dawn
To turn my back and face the light
Loneliness
There is no one
Just me and I
There is no fun
But, that is a lie
I can amuse myself
I don’t need people
I am high on a shelf
Inside a steeple
Thoughts dance
Tension is high
Give me a chance
I just want to fly
Moment
In one moment
Or in a second
Can be a torment
Time does beckon
A moment can be
A wonderful thing
Spend it being free
Don’t let it sting
Make them happy
Smile and sing
Or they’ll be crappy
And then they’ll cling

Penny For Your Thoughts
I walk this world wandering
While I do some pondering
My thoughts swirl and bend
I should give some out to lend
But, since I have so many
I can sell each one for a penny
Who would buy my thoughts?
Sometimes they are only dots
They are precious gems to me
No matter what you may see
Maybe I shouldn’t share them
I could meditate and be zen
What about the creative ones?
Or the thoughts of jokes with great puns?
I’ll keep my opinions to myself
I can use my creativity for great wealth
All great artists started with empty pots
And then asked a penny for your thoughts…

Run as fast as you can
Why are you running?
There is no limit ban
Play music and start singing
