Blank stares, sterile teethFlashing through silent lipsIs honesty just a dream now?Is honesty just a dream? Alone – it’s not so bad, true it’s sadBut the lies, there’s just too many nowAnd the cries of the helpless and gutlessWho can judge, you? – maybe you? And you feel safe behind the wallsYou’ve erected to protect…

A Postcard Life
I have many questions for you today. First, if you were going to write your autobiography, would it fill a postcard or be a thousand-page novel? Are you an “important” person with initials after your name? Do you fill your days with planners and business meetings? Are you so busy that you push aside the…
Roots Of Love
Friends are much like treesPlant the seed and watch it growIt branches out and changes seasonsThe leaves, they fall, to grow again In the spring of lifetimesThe handshake replaces the hugThe kiss on the cheek replacesA misplaced love Some may blossom and fly awayOn the wind, some return againSome they stay and drift awayBut some…

I say it to myselfA hundred times each dayThinking of all the waysI love you And it’s just because of youI can touch the skyOh, I can fly away with youAway with you Dreams, they’re not all they seem to beI’ve got you, you’ve got meDreams, they’re much more you seeWhen two become as three…

Seeking
Drove by the old place tonightLooking for an old face insideKnew it would be a waste of my timeChasing the past-it’s a spiritual crime I saw lots of pretty new facesThey were all dressed up as hopeless casesFeeling lost in these emotionless mazesHad to be nuts to think I’d find traces Of you, anywhereI’m filled…

Your smile is that of a child’s on Christmas dayBut your tears are those of a woman who has lost her wayAnd your loving is like an ocean waveEngulfing and caressing, all you gave – all you gave And though I know you’ll deny it, I know you careAnd all your laughing and crying can’t…
