"Poets Dream"
Did my words give you truest love & light from the waking breath of each day Am I the epitome of the undying dream of nostalgia, in my soul is where you stay I wrote poems by the setting sun & the tears I cried showed you the real me Remembering the way you smiled & set my heart at ease, open your eyes & see Poets Dream, this is the entrance to the eyes you know that shine forever bright Poets Dream, beside the ocean shore where we held each other by the moons light
Could you claim to know anyone in this life who has opened your very heart Here is the truth of reckoning & the one blue eyed poet you loved from the start You knew from the moment I returned to deliver a message that only you will know This profound electric connection that you felt, kisses upon your cheek ever so slow Poets Dream, this vision quest of the infinite love that I held onto for so very long Poets Dream, take these words & understand the sincere beauty & love in this song

"Nightshade"
And so we took an eternal sigh as the darkness passed us by on hallow ground The secrets of the boy who delved deeper into silent tears without a single sound Covering his face & forever racing from the shadows which claim his heart Beyond all redemption & reason, the light within him was torn apart Nightshade
Could you believe how the voice chased the falling sorrow that seemed to never end Is there a moment of surrender where you found the saving grace that you promised to send Where do I belong, the eternal question of the sensitive poet who softly sang you a song.... Here is the man child of serenity, please understand this poem has gone on far too long But you cannot deny the shining gaze of the power of love in the words that I alone made Hear the story of the man who transformed into the spirit of the Nightshade

"Key To The Heart"
Listen to this music, this is the soul that became one upon your kiss
The story is not misleading & the passage is open to everything that you miss Can you guide the falling poet who remained in the mind with love so sincere Turn out the lights & envision the magick of he who summoned you here Key To The Heart, your true love from the start
Would you blame this poet for the romance that was eternal & true
Confined to the haunting sadness of decisions created by only you
Is it ignorance or just weakness that tells me I will never ever let go
And as sure as the sun will forever continue to rise, I am the only poet
you know Key To The Heart & the burning truth of my love that mains & continues to grow Key To The Heart, the descending tears of sadness that pour down my face ever so slow

"The King & The Dream"
Lay me down to rest in the field of flowers that bring the scent of peace & joy Return my broken soul to the adoring light, please cradle this frightened boy Heal the foolish poet who fell backwards into the promise of all that was shown Pull the covers to my chin & protect the soul of this man who feels forever alone The King & The Dream
In conclusion of these memoirs written by the saddest poet who fell beyond the flames Give a moment of undisturbed silence, memories of your titles & those loving names Grasping the purpose of the sorrow which still threatens to overwhelm all that I see Allow the dream to take life & hold me closer, look deeper into the poems written by me And by the kind offer of your warmth & a place to finally rest my weary head Holding true to the titles of a King who you claimed had dominion, these words you said The King & The Dream

"Ghost In The Sky"
In the moment of deepest thought, a voice came to me & filled my mind In soft whispers it spoke of eternal sleep & the peace that I need so very bad Showing images in the fading light of a gentle hand reaching for me Caress the tear stained cheek of the sleepless poet who always knew your scent Ghost In The Sky, knowing your secret which will remain with me until I die
And in reflections upon the cooling water where I submerge my weary soul You are beside me in dreams as you kiss the aging face of the man child Every moment of light that you give from the vibration of your colorful wings This is the continual journey of the haunted poet who awaits the bird that sings Ghost In The Sky, collect the tears I cry & hold me forever & show me what the morning brings

"Bells Of The Mystic"
It was the tone delivered to the soul of the dreamless child who sighed Were you laughing inside but all the time holding back tears you cried There stood the Magus waiting for the wind to speak his Magick name Looking for the healing that never seems to come, just
a pointless game But you must have seen the hurt & the horrible pain reflected in me Bells Of The Mystic, calling the tune that blinded me from all I see
Tell me how to change the cycle of solitude that is crushing my soul
Maybe you figured you captured my wild heart & had full control
Flooding memories that leave me shaking so bad it makes me scream Bells Of The Mystic are chiming ever so loud, please wake me from this dream And in the distance John plays the beautiful vibe that makes the poet feel Bells Of The Mystic & the soundtrack to the secret path I chose to reveal

"Sailors Dream"
Far away & out towards the sea, he trembled by the touch of the wind & a sound He stared beyond the starless sky & looking within for a soul that cannot be found High above there were birds speaking in a language that only he would know Alone on the rolling waves he sang songs that made him want to fade away & go Sailors Dream, the things he missed from a heart which he always thought he knew
Shutting his eyes & shouting as loud as he can to the world, I always loved you!!!
Reaching out to feel the water as it reminded him of the memories he held onto This eternal stare from the only poet who begged to be held, & it was always you Sailors Dream, of the courage to find the home that will lead me to gentle grace When you find me, please remember to whisper my name & touch my face....

"Rising Sun"
It was when the morning light kissed the darkness & your love awakened me From these memories of happiness & the truest form of beauty that I did see Yours were the sweetest eyes of purest innocence that I ever recall seeing Knowing in your heart that I was the one who loved you with all my being But you need to know I still dream of only you & I miss you so bad.... Rising Sun
And even though I was forced to change through the pain of knowing
So bow your head & shut your eyes & listen to the whispering wind blowing Hear the echoes of the foot steps that draw you closer where it had all begun Rising Sun, this Pagan Goddess who pulls me back into
a much better place Rising Sun, her voice calling out to the lost poet with the white bearded face

"Setting Sun"
Lead the way to the warmth of the day that delivered the softest sigh
The gentle beating of the wings I now hear, knowing you would never pass me by In the strength of my conviction & the love in which was pure & forever true Knowing inside that I had to let you go to show how much I always loved you Setting Sun, and we were blinded by the shining reality of Magick & more Traveled the world together delving into every secret hidden behind the door
Setting Sun, becoming as one with the revealing words in which I gave
So walk amidst the sun flowers & please remember the soul that only you could save There were two souls that passed into one & we kissed before the Setting Sun & we sighed And now you show me where my soul can be found, this heart which never lied I understand just what we were in the end & I know what I must do Setting Sun, be true to my heart & accept the truest light which was you

"Across The Sea Under The Stars"
I heard a voice which seemed like the gentle wind caressing my soul
It lit up my soul & every fiber of my being knew who the voice was
There were remnants of tear drops from a waking dream I once had
We have come so far to share the cosmic love which can never fade or die Across The Sea Under The Stars, we cried tears of joy because we knew
And as the rainbow prism of light enveloped the concept of the hopes we once felt Across the galaxy we heard the pleading of the lonely soul now still bleeding Please disregard the image of the man who once begged to you stay & heal the heart And Across The Sea Under The Stars, you showed me the way as you took my hand We were swept away by the sheer beauty of all we had become embraced by the sun So very far away, Across The Sea Under The Stars, nothing could
ever touch our love

"Intergalactic"
Were those the memories of deepest space caught on the blowing wind Prepared from the same dimension where you stepped out to greet me Shining within the trapezoid as if to unfold space & time itself These chosen beings who still walk among us, the watchers of all Intergalactic space dreams approaching the moment with a sigh
Let us take the time to call forth the hazy hallucinations still unborn
I am waiting for you, touch the hand that was destined to forever tremble Open the way & show me, reach me, tell the tale of the 3rd eye of knowing Intergalactic sounds that wake the gods & bow to no one, we have risen In this cool shade beyond the tree of life you will find the heart of the master

"Mystery Of Soul"
Were you alone or simply lonely from the moment love walked away
You left a permanent hole in the life one the one you named king
But we cant turn back time, the opening of the wound & the ruined dream Losing count of the scars afflicted, this punishment created only for me Mystery Of The Soul, if you could divide the inner child
from the man you knew
And there are parts me so broken, you could not find the pieces if you tried Were you aware of how you destroyed the poet who bowed before your light I am quite confident you live in mental anguish of all that was said & done So I continue to hang my head & mutter to myself as I drown in solitude Mystery Of Soul, this is the winding road that leads you to the lost heart
