IF....
If there is darkness all around and you can not see the light...
If you can not see ahead & you're feeling none too bright...
If your world id upside-down, and you can't get right-side up...
If your thirst is overwhelming and there is nothing in your cup...
If you've forgotten how to smile & no one seems to care, & you always seem to meet Mr.Satan in his lair...
If you're tried of being alone & your madness has turned to sad...
If there is nowhere else to turn & its become fun to be bad...
If you are at the end of your rope & glad to be hung, & you're tired of singing songs that have already been sung...
Well then, I've got ne
Bitterness fills the voice
once filled with love;
the bite of a viper
replaces the cooing dove.
The wall that had crumbled
is rebuilt thick and strong.
Warded and guarded,
Trust is long gone.
Null and voided--
Voided and numb.
Never gonna need again,
Never gonna be so dumb.
Look deep inside,
the passion is there
but where the heart should be
a black Void I wear.
You try to reach me
braver than Cupid's Dart
but once inside you will find:
Naught, but a Voided Heart.

The Tigress And the Hawk
The Tigress & The Hawk
Wings of silver,
spread in flight.
Eyes of gold,
search the night.
Down below
the tigress stalks
aware she is watched,
hunted by the hawk.
Feathers glint,
liquid silver flows.
The eternal dance
played out in prose.
Down in a streak
the silver bolt swoops,
Crouches the tigress
watching the hunter loop.
Out of silence
in an arc of light,
a scream of challenge
rips apart the night.
She rises up
with a roar of rage;
Talon versus claw,
battle of the age.
Sister Moon watches
as two battle aflame;
Circling and dancing
love and war, gone and came.
Embraced, lovers at war,
pain is mixed in blood and
Fancies
A mushroom roof
so bright and cheery
A rose petal door
keeps out the dreary
moss and leaves
all green and gold
make sturdy walls
against the cold
Spider's webs
make windows clear
to spy outside
without fear
A fairy house
so dear and sweet
just don't trample it
with your feet!
