Well it's a crazy world for some romance
with the statements of people with rights.
Fanatic and calm seem to hold hands
beneath the scary and mutually nice.
Family ties and feelings are calling
through the years and the seasons they blow.
And I'm trying to write without stalling
between the restless and the lifeless prose.

You know the world is tragic
turmoil gets into the verse.
And all the king's horsemen
can't fulfill their worth.
And time has lost it's magic
from a mouse to cyber I work...
in this world I love ...it hurts.

Well I want to make love in the twilight
where the highways aren't blocked from the sun.
And the time right now is just right
on into the night we can run.
When I fly my share will be waiting
to take care to the people that hope
cause my heart with a cause keeps falling
dear God won't you throw me a rope.

You know the world is tragic
true words have lost their worth.
And all the king's horsemen
can't find a reason to work.
And time keeps on searching
for a technological nurse...
in this world I love.....it hurts


The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

Hey baby they call it progress ...
and they say that the changes are long past due.
But for all the technological advances of man ...
they cant invent nothing to replace the feeling of the moment ....
when I first layed eyes on you

WAY COOL write E-babes ...
you have captured the sometimes slow to accept changes our world is throwing at us ..
and ya know I love both the wisdom and cadence in this gift from your pen.

my sister is the poet
I am but a shadow.
by the light of poetry
I read then dream

We're living in a world full of illusion
Everything is so unreal
My mind is in a state of confusion
But I can't deny the way I feel
