Ah, Silence
Ah, silence
Bind her lips
She speaks much
Apply a muzzle
Her mind unstill
Her words pierce
Run, run
Ah, silence

Natural Evolution
Rain falls
No snow
Where is my Christmas
of years ago?
No snow to throw
No snow to eat
Only the rain
Puddles deep
Run through
Slash on feet
Why is the weather
in confusion?
Is it Global Warming
or Natural Evolution?

The Laughter
The laughter in your heart
Would melt a melting pot
Would rise a sunken ship
Save a lady in distress
Lead the lost to find their way
Cause pain to go away
Your laughter
Is my laughter
Your heart, my heart
Two risen ships
Of ladies of lost
From laughter of pain
Let us unite these good things

Ode to Distraction
I
Those that extort, distract
Our paths become distant, lost
Walking too quickly, we allude time
Sun to moon, Moon to sun
Our children grow and vanish into life
Daily strife
II
Walking too slowly, we are surpassed
We are poor, disadvantaged
Sun to sun, Sun to sun

He distracts our path
We give in at last
Taste our tears
Too many years
Fear

Ode to Marriage
Marriage is as old, as man and woman
Adam and Eve were the first
Or was God to man
A marriage of pure love
Today I speak of the traditional
II
Hello my friend
You are many a lovers’ brightest day
The bride greets you kindly
The groom with uneasiness
Both are mixed with fear and happiness
III
You are mighty in your conquering of hearts
These days you can come before or after
The child is to be born
We are different than you are use too
We are evil, maybe, but not actually
VI
You are elegant
Always wrapped in roses and white

Ode to Divorce
I
Ode to you despicable thing
You rot and scorn my heart
Oh you beast of forever’s lovers
Hath you no feeling?
Oh to you cause of my tears
Morning comes too near
II
He leaves me lonely
Tearing up my sheets
Instead of heating them
You scoundrel, hypocrite
You never loved me
It was a dream
III
You broke my heart
My heart that beats, pounds
Only for you
Pain me dear Lord
This I cannot deserve
