I tried hiding in a secret place
Fear was written all over my face
The monster chased me all over town
I reconized it from its inverted frown

Other monsters watched with hunger
Some were old some were younger
Their teeth shining with blood dripping
My independent soul started slipping

I was afraid to face my fear
Then the monster shot its spear
A girl was almost hit and she cried with tears
The girl screamed “No” and ran past her peers

Again the monster took aim and fired its arrow
Whoosh! It came fast missing me by narrow
Hit the best man and then lodges in the ring
The sound it made was a deafening ping!

The monster had left me with an empty heart
As it flew it whispered “You knew this from the start”


*Let’s try this with a happy ending


I tried hiding in a secret place
Fear was written all over my face
The monster chased me all over town
I reconized it from its inverted frown

Other monsters watched with hunger
Some were old some were younger
Their teeth shining with blood dripping
My independent soul started slipping

I was afraid to face my fear
Then the monster shot its spear
A girl was hit and she smiled with tears
She grabbed my hand holding on to future years

Again the monster took aim and fired its arrow
I was hit in the heart, rattling my bones and marrow
A hot flame went through my veins
As sweat dripped like sunshower rains

A spark in my heart, burning fire it became
And the girl’s heart flamed just the same
I said, “I do” I will always love you
And the ring a symbol to show it’s true

The monster had left me, as spark became flame
As it flew it whispered “Cupid is my name”



*If your secret place (your heart) has a cold monster
  It may just be cupid trying to ignite a burning fire

Lois
Ya! Don’t worry I put them ones in this lead box
I better check to make sure….. OMG!! What’s this?
I must have sent the wrong pictures to the press…we
better get down there before they print them…lets go Lois!
If only Superman was here!……you take the elevator. I’ll take
the stairs and meet you there…if you get there before me and
get the pictures before it’s too late just signal me with a wink!
Go! Go! Go! What are you just standing there for?….   Oh! The
elevator hasn’t come yet!….alright I’m taken these stairs
right now!
