About Me
Death's Second Self
This mythical fascination with immortality
I believe each moment here is precious
Though I know Death will stop for me
Then the life I live here most relish.
When that time comes and I must leave
I wish my time here remembered well
Though those left behind for me may grieve
The example I left, I wish, lives on to tell.
No need to hope this earth no limits give
The time it allows is enough for me
I am grateful for those moments it lets me live
Though there may be another place I’ve yet to see.
So, let this dream of eternal life live in lore
That seems to so many so enticing
Here I have yet so much more to explore
That otherwise seems like Death if never dying.

A Look
I see the way you look at me
And you see the way I look at you
Our heart's invitation all can see
Only a few words to see it through.
Our feelings nothing can deny
Now the next step they must take
That our longing will satisfy
And from our feelings our union make.
And learn love’s appearance unknown
It does not care if you believe it shows
It is governed by what our spirit sown
And only by what our heart knows.
Seeing you again may be the time
When our feelings to our meeting turn
And what is written in this rhyme
Bringing us, finally, to what we yearn.
Only a Taste
There was an angel that Heaven sent to me
And through her spirit I learned to love
A feeling that from this earth made me free
I should have known it came from above.
For soon from this place, she had to go
And I was left to deal with what she left behind
Without her love only sorrow left to know
And nowhere else such love could find.
And now I am left with only this question
Should I go on without a woman so divine?
Then have to continue having learned this lesson
I have to make the most of what no longer mine.
And learn to live without love as my cost
And then my remaining days a waste
To live a life where love I have lost
Never meant for Heaven, only a taste.

Christmas Forever
the world was dark before, no end in sight
Until that morn a babe was born here
That from our darkness showed the light
That showed us hope and no more fear.
And now the darkness comes once more
So why do we want to celebrate?
For all that's bad goodness does abhor
This day we show that it can wait.
It may well be our fate uncertain
For the babe turned man put it in our hands
Will we rise to the occasion or pull the curtain?
Maybe He the only one who understands.
All I know is Christmas is still a special day
Where all we face must, to it, bow
If nothing on this day can stand in its way
Why can't its spirit this world forever allow?
Christmas Every Day
You say it’s Christmas every day and it is true
Except this Christmas a couple things missing
I will miss the snowfall and now, you
Between the two, you the best dressing.
I can go without the snow or the cold
But that day on the beach I saw your radiance
That warmth will not be here to see or hold
Even though the sun shines in all its brilliance.
So, I will look for Christmas in an empty season
Maybe place a tree to spread some cheer
Without the one who gave my happiness a reason
For I must try to enjoy the holiday without you here.
Yes, Christmas is not the only special day
It is each day life give us to celebrate
Except how can I unless your gift comes my way?
The one I open, and your love can appreciate.
The Love You Give
Isolated where paradise in all its grandeur live
But its beautiful bounty is not meant for me
For all its riches your precious love does not give
And for its landscape to be complete you I need to see.
So, I reside where heaven would call a second home
But where it best lived was in your eyes
Now where all seems complete my heart needs to roam
To find the love that would be paradise’s greatest prize.
And the night’s moon beckons and the morning call
The starlight where your beauty ascends
And where, in the morning, again for your love fall
But with you missing this idyllic scene ends.
For paradise is only realized when you are here
The beauty that you bring nothing more sweet
And for all its splendor needs you near
It is the love you give that makes it complete.

Love Never End
So, I now know what I felt not real
How could I be so mistaken?
And illusions for once did feel
And my heart so falsely taken.
But why do you still live in my dreams?
When your true feelings shown
Love is seldom what it seems
So, I must return to being alone.
But when I sleep you are still there
What I can shake in the day not last
For in the Night my feelings laid bare
That from my waking world been cast.
So, love not something rejection takes away
Or what you only did pretend
Once unleashed in my heart will stay
And once known love can never end.
The Beckoning Sea
The ghostly sails of the ship
Steer the vessel serenely on
In the twilight that to the morning slips
To the shore of the beckoning dawn.
Its salty arms reaching the salty crests
To pull it in where it finally rests.
And the vessel embraces its home
To end its star-driven journey
No more watery passages roam
But the sand where its salty wake free.
Until the sea, again, enticingly beckons
And the shore's sandy arms let the vessel go
For with the freedom of the sea still reckons
There is much more mystery to know.

The Promise
In a few days, our nation will let the world hear our voice
And it will be loud, and it will be clear
To learn we only had one choice
To choose hope over fear.
It may have looked like we were divided
And that our democracy was in danger
But in a few days, we will show we are still united
Who bet on our experiment laid the best wager.
The people are the ones who understood it best
Not our institutions or those leaders untrue
They are the reason we will pass this test
And our unwavering faith will get us through.
These last few years our faith has tested
And that there was any doubt could be understood
But we will show all these challenges will be bested
Never bet against, in our nation, what is good.
We know that the battle will still not be done
But we will always be, in the face of this, vigilant
So, in a few days this battle will be won
To show the promise of our nation always want.
