[poem] Jupiter

​

Well and here comes Jupiter barreling through my house of Scorpio, now everything I touch turns to Gold, oh Jupiter sitting high upon your throne, King of the Milky Way, so big and strong flooding my soul with creativity and romance, thank you for giving me another chance, oh Jupiter sitting up on your throne with a fire that burns on and on, Jupiter,oh Jupiter Everytime when you and Scorpio do the tango, everything I touch turns to gold...

And in the house of Fortune there are many faces of wisdom like a long lost friend, come back again, benevolent, extravagant raining love down on me like a monsoon, doing a sultry little cosmic dance, feeding off the emotional desires of the Moon...

Jupiter in my house of passion and desire, Jupiter stoking the fire, making it burn higher and higher Jupiter oh Jupiter flooding my soul with creativity and romance, thank you for giving me one more chance, Jupiter oh Jupiter sitting up on your throne with a fire that burns on and on, Jupiter every time you and Scorpio do the tango everything I touch turns to gold...

Royal arms of cosmic power where all universal magic comes together, feeling as light as a feather in the arms of Jupiter raining love and luck down on me like a typhoon, doing a sultry little cosmic dance feeding off the emotional desires of the Moon...

Jupiter in my house of passion and desire, Jupiter stoking the fire, making it burn higher and higher, Jupiter oh Jupiter flooding my soul would creativity and romance, thank you for giving me another chance, Jupiter oh Jupiter sitting high up on your throne with a fire that burns on and on, Jupiter every time you and Scorpio do the tango everything I touch turns to Gold, everything I touch turns to gold, Jupiter pull the happy trigger, Jupiter oh Jupiter!

[poem] Spirit Guide

Spirit Guide though I can not see you with my eyes

I know you are the only reason I am still alive

Spirit Guide protecting me when in the lions den

Where I can not hide,wiping the tears away when I

Cry, spirit Guide though I can not see you with my

Eyes,I know you are always by my side...

Spirit Guide hear the prayer I pray today

With every step I take please show me the way

Be near,calm my fears when I am feeling lost

And afraid, forever, forever and always

Spirit Guide hear the prayer I pray today...

Spirit Guide take my hand and lead me back to

The ancient place I come from,help me to understand

My connection better to the great one,is it through

The eyes of the eagle,the bear or the wild cat

Give me the strength I need to leave the past behind

And find peace of mind,no looking back,no more

Looking back...

Spirit Guide hear the prayer I pray today

With every step I take please show me the way

Be near,calm my fears when I'm feeling lost

And afraid,forever,forever and always

Spirit Guide hear the prayer I pray,hear the prayer

I pray today!

[Poem] In My Cottage

Well and something seems to be missing here in my cottage at the bottom of the Blue ridge mountains and a crystal clear blue stream, when the night falls My lonely heart calls but now I can only see your face in my dreams...

In my cottage of candle lit windows, firelight casting off the silhouette of dark shadows, in my cottage I am up for hours and hours on end reminiscing when, just sitting here drowning in my tears, creating my own false fears in my cottage, in my cottage I haven't left in years...

Well maybe I am just like some old hermit not quite in touch with reality, a broken hearted fool gone crazy, they say we always hurt the ones we love the most but how do you reason with a ghost, oh and when the night falls My lonely heart calls staring at your picture on the wall....

In my cottage of candlelit windows, firelight casting off the silhouette of dark shadows, haunted by the memory of you spending hours and hours on end sad and confused, just sitting here and listening to the knock of a cold winter's wind trying to come in, in my cottage lost in a dream, drowning in my tears creating my own false fears, in my cottage, in my cottage I haven't left in years...

Just an old hermit and a cottage by a river and a valley below just an old hermit and a cottage with candle lit windows.

[poem] Run ( I Told My Mama About You)

Well and I don't think we will be getting back together again

I didn't realize the trouble I was getting in but now the

Nightmare has got to end,you say you love me but you can't

Really love me when you hurt me over and over again but

Now I've learned to read your eyes and I know everything

You say are lies,lies,just lies,well you better get a clue now

You better recognize,my mama didn't raise no fool,you better

Run,run I told my mama,I told my mama about you...

You act like we're married even though I told you I would

Never try to poses you,why are you trying to control me

Like I owe you, trying to please you just drains the nice

Right outta me and that's not cool,my mama didn't raise

No fool and so now,you better run,you better run,I told my

Mama about you,I told my mama about you....

I don't know how many times I played the peacekeeper,the

Friend and the lover but you couldn't keep the fire burning

Where it was concerning empathy,null and void of

Sympathy,how could you be the one for me,I need someone

In my life who can make me happy and I'm not happy ...

But I'm Nobody's fool,my mama didn't raise no fool, Ive

Learned to read you and what I see ain't cool so,you better

Run,you better run,I told my mama about you and she's

About to open up a can of whoop ass up on you,you better

Run,you better run,I told my mama about you,I told my

Mama about you!

[poem] Tigers Eye

Lyra in the summer midnight sky,heart on fire

Black Forest tigers eye,behind flames of desire...

I can still hear your voice in the wind on nights like

These but I could use a stronger spell so you will never

Forget about me, come back to me don't believe the

Lies they tell,we have a history and many more lives

Together still to come,the cards tell me Everytime you

Are the one,you are the one and only one...

So where have you gone to dwell these days,I can't find

You in my crystal ball,what happened to us,I don't know

But I could of sworn we had it all,I know we had it all

Til they turned your mind inside out,what the hell is that

About and now the summer is turning into fall...

Maybe you could catch a silent signal when I think

About you, sometimes you just gotta break the rules

Maybe you could find me and my shadow by candlelight

Tonight,I wish I may have this wish I wish tonight ...

We have a history and many more lives together still

TO come and the cards have always said you are the

One,you are the one...

Lyra in the summer night sky,heart on fire,black forest

Tigers Eye through burning flames of desire....

As the sorcerer sends a message on the wind,then it's

Not a question of if,only a matter of when!

Let Go And Let God

Sometimes we make life harder than it needs to be

Spending most of our time locked away in a self made

Prison of misery,if we could only learn to let go and

Let God and surrender ourselves to him completely

That's when you'll find you always had the answers deep

Down inside you,as easy as one, two,three,when you

Learn to let go and let God ,that's when you will find

Peace of mind,sunshine and good times,if you can just

Learn to let go and Let God, surrender yourself to him

Today and he will surely make a way...

Sometimes we worry way too much about things that

Aren't gonna make a difference in the end anyways,so

Give yourself a break now, everything is gonna be ok

God hears every single prayer you pray and there are

Signs all around you that he is with you,so don't be afraid

God is with you every minute of every day but you got

To learn to let go and let God,let go and let God ....

Surrender yourself to him completely and your life will

Get better, surrender yourself to him and let him be

Your safe harbour,trust in him and let your love light shine

Trust in him and you will find peace of mind,give it all

To him and be happy again,give it all to him and you will

Find all your troubles at an end...

If you could just learn to let go and let God and you will

Find you've always had the answers deep down inside

You,as easy as one, two, three but you got to let go

And let God totally and completely, let go and let God

And you will find you really can be happy,instead of

Spending your time locked away in a self made prison

Of misery,you can be happy,it's as easy as one,two,three

If you can just learn to let go and let God,you will find

Peace of mind, sunshine and good times but you got to

Let go,let go and surrender your whole heart and soul,

Don't worry,don't worry about tomorrow,let go,let go and

Let God,let go and let God!

[poem] It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This

Here comes the storm of the century but in your arms I am

Lost in ecstasy,here on this Monday night with the love of my

Life,here in the shadow of candlelight and firelight,here comes

The lightning and thunder over our heads and under the cover

Lost in the arms of my best friend and my lover,well here comes

The terenchel down pour but it's paradise in here behind our

Bed room door,who could ask for more and...

It doesn't get any better than this,you turn me to butter with

Every kiss and it's pure raw emotional bliss,this time cupid

Did not miss,you are every single bit of the wish I wished and

Oh it doesn't get any better than this,it doesn't get any better

Than this...

Here comes another monsoon but its warm and sultry in our

Room,making love to you is like taking a trip to the stars and

The moon in a hot air balloon and never even leaving our

Room,well here comes the lightning and thunder,over our heads

And under the cover,lost in the arms of my best friend and my

Lover,well here comes the wind and rain off a hurricane but in

Your arms it's Heaven just the same and...

It doesn't get any better than this,you turn me to butter with

Every kiss and it is pure raw emotional bliss,this time cupid

Did not miss,you are every single bit of the wish I wished and

It doesn't get any better than this,no it just doesn't get any

Better,any better than this!

[poem] Which Way Is Which

Which way is which,who knows,who knows where this road

Goes,all you know is you gotta scratch the itch,listen to your

Intuition,search your heart,search your soul,don't be cold and

Don't be a bitch,although I know it's hard to tell which way is

Which standing at the crossroads but you can't give up and

You can not quit although it seems to be more of the same

Bull shit,which way is which,who knows where this road goes

All you know is you gotta twitch the itch,you gotta follow your

Heart and soul....

Heavy emotions are weighing hard on you, trying to see things

From a different point of view,caught somewhere between

Trying to be a team player and not really caring anymore,it's

Just like they say,when it rains it pours and it's a real fine line

Between love and hate,love and war,I'll be your lover but I'm

Nobody's whore,it's like a Trojan horse sneaking up on you but

You know you gotta see it through but...

Which way is which,who knows,who knows where this road

Goes,all you know is you gotta scratch the itch,listen to your

Intuition,search your heart,search your soul,don't be cold and

Don't be a bitch,although I know it's hard to tell which way is

Which standing at the crossroads but you can't give up and

You can not quit although it seems to be more of the same

Bull shit,which way is which,who knows where this road goes

All you know is you gotta scratch the itch,you gotta follow your

Heart and soul...

You gotta stop banging your head against a brick wall, it'll only

Lead to a broken dam,you gotta stop blaming yourself,if they

Cared about you they'd come around,if they can't accept you for

Who you are then they're really not your friends and they don't

Have your best interests at heart but you can't let that stop

You from following your dreams,who knows what the future

Will bring but you gotta stop banging your head against a

Brick wall you know you'll never tear down,you gotta stop

Kicking yourself around...

Who knows where this road goes but you know you gotta

Scratch the itch,listen to your

Intuition,search your heart,search your soul,don't be cold and

Don't be a bitch,although I know it's hard to tell which way is

Which standing at the crossroads but you can't give up and

You can not quit, although it seems to be more of the same

Bull shit,which way is which,who knows where this road goes

All you know is you gotta scratch the itch,you gotta follow your

Heart and soul...

It's like an Alice in wonderland kinda story book switch

When you don't know which way is which but you know it's

A twitch you gotta itch,which way,which way is which?!

Sending You Poetry

How does that old saying go...the pen is mightier than the

Sword,well listen to me now as I pour out my heart and

Soul like never before,it's true I love you and there are many

Ways I can show you,I could send you roses, diamonds and

Even gold, anything money can buy but I'm just really not

That kinda guy...

So,I think I'll just send you poetry, something that means

Something,I'm a hopeless romantic if nothing and I really

Want you to know just how much you really mean to me,so

I am sending you something special you can treasure forever,

I'm sending you poetry, sending you poetry...

Line by line,phrase by phrase,I hope this poem will whisk

Your heart away,as I pour out my heart to you like never before

Don't you know a whisper can outlast a war and my way is

Just a subtle way but the best way for me to say,I love you for

You and that's something that'll never change,til the end of

Time my love will remain the same,I know I could send you

Flowers, Ruby's and even gold on the next plane, anything

Money can buy but I'm not that kinda guy...

I'd rather send you poetry, something that means

Something,I'm a hopeless romantic if nothing and I really

Want you to know just how much you really mean to me,so

I am sending you something special you can treasure forever,

I'm sending you poetry, sending you poetry,I'm sending

You poetry,sending you poetry!

[poem] The Frog People

Don't let the frog people in your house

They'll grab you by the hair and throw

You down the stairs,you'll think you're

High because you can't believe your eyes

Better run and hide or you will surely die

They're out there in the shadows,coming

To swallow you up while,watch out for

The frog people coming to devour your soul

Better run,better run for your life

Amphepians are out for blood tonight

I pray you make it til dawns early

Morning light,killer amphepians are

On a rampage tonight,better run,better

Run for your life,don't let the frog people

Get to you tonight...

It's like a science fiction movie,the portal

To another dimension,the twilight zone

On the flip side,you think you must be

High because you just can't believe your

Eyes,it's like a creature feature from some

Old horror show,coming in from the shadows

Coming to swallow you while,watch out

For the frog people coming in from the

Shadows...

Better run,better run for your life

Amphepians are out for blood tonight

I pray you make it til dawns early

Morning light,killer amphepians are

On a rampage tonight,better run,better

Run for your life,don't let the frog people

Get to you tonight,better run,better run

For your life,watch out for the frog

People tonight!

Anybody There?

I have the strangest feeling I'm being watched,hello is anybody there? I can hear voices whispering in the dark sending a good chill up and down my spine and I have a sinking feeling in my heart I am not alone...

But no one can be found anywhere,am I going crazy,am I coming apart? I swear I can sense a sinister pressure in the shadows darker than dark. Is there anybody there,hello is there anybody there?

Could it be the spirits in the veil or maybe demons from hell,I don't know but it's got me pulling out my hair. Is there anybody there,hello is there anybody there?

I get the feeling this sinking feeling in my stomach somebody,somewhere is watching me,oh lord God have mercy on me. Maybe I'm going crazy but I swear I can feel something following me everywhere. Hello,is there anybody there? Hello,is there Anybody there?

[poem] Threads Of A Tattered Flag

For the last 250 years lady liberty has worn the ole red,

White and blue, symbolizing the glory of freedom,valar

And virtue,where our four fathers built this nation on blood,

Sweat and tears,having faith,having faith over fear,for the

Last 250 years the old red,white and blue has been flown

For me and you,the threads of tattered flag has stood the

Test of time,threads of a tattered flag at home or behind

Enemy lines....

Threads of a tattered flag just as vibrant today as the day

It was made,threads of a tattered flag in all its splendor

And swag,flying high like a beackon of hope and true

American pride,from the Atlantic to the Pacific side,from the

Gulf shores to the mountains high,well the threads of a

Tattered Flag still touches the sky in all its splendor and

Swag,threads of a tattered flag,threads of a tattered flag...

Just like it was 250 years ago when George Washington

Came to Betsy Ross with the sketch and the idea of the

Strips and stars and hence thereafter has lived in every

American heart,in the good times and when things seemed

To be falling apart the U.S.A. never lost its way even

When things got a little dark,just like it was 250 years ago

When George Washington came to Betsy Ross with nothing

But a sketch and an idea of the strips and stars....

Threads of a tattered flag,just as vibrant today as it was

The day it was made,threads of a tattered flag in all its

Splendor and swag, flying high like a beackon of hope and

True American pride,from the Atlantic to the Pacific side

From the Gulf shores to the mountains high,the threads of

A tattered flag still touches the sky in all its splendor and swag

Threads of a tattered flag,threads of a tattered flag!

[poem] Love Triangle

Well I love you,you know that I do but

I know that he loves you too,what am I

Gonna do,caught in a love triangle and

Loving the both of you ...

I know you love me with all your heart

And when I am with you I am no longer

In the dark,you know how to make me

Laugh and smile like no one else does

It's gotta be love,it's gotta be love...

Well I love you,you know that I do but

I know that he loves you too,what am I

Gonna do,caught in a love triangle and

Loving the both of you ...

And whenever you tell me there's nothing

In the world you wouldn't do for me I know

It's not a lie,it's in your touch and the way

You make me feel inside,the truth is self

Evident in your eyes and that's how I know

It's never goodbye,it's never really goodbye...

Because I love you,you know that I do but

I know that he loves you too,what am I

Gonna do,caught in a love triangle and

Loving the both of you!
