Fragment III
I live without fear knowing you are near
Remove the distance space and time
You are here there and everywhere
Living only to love you is sublime

Used and Abused
Defenseless as a butterfly
Vulnerable, soft and fragile
Playing a role only to please
A cycle that will not cease
You call and I come
You ask and I provide
You seek and you find
Only for you I shall die
But love was never there
Expecting only my reward
Like a butterfly that provides
Beauty, life, love and a sight
Whose life is short and swift
Only to exist for your want and need
Then this defenseless butterfly
Shall leave the earth when unwanted
Used and abused in twenty-four hours
Now gone to live a new life

Maria... Maria! ! !
She was the prettiest girl in school
A preacher’s daughter and thirteen
I remember how naughty she was
She gave me my first French kiss
We kissed until we graduated
Off to the college with the boys
I kissed until my knees trembled
Next graduation was terrible
Went to work and kissed my boss
On weekends I am kissing the boys
Went back to school for you know what
But still wondering where she’s at
How funny I thought this was
With all the boys I ever kissed
Some nice and some are missed
But I can never forget my first kiss

Let's Go
Let’s go
To a place we’ve never been
Somewhere we’ve never traveled before
And show me where I really belong
Let’s go
Where wild birds fly free
And animals roam boundlessly
And where we can kiss endlessly
Let’s go
Live free in joy and hate free
Sleep in peace and bed of spice
And let’s call this place a paradise
Let’s go
Where winds don’t howl
And the people don’t growl
Beneath the moon we shall dance

Alone on Vacation
Hot restless August days
Can’t seem to quench my thirst
Dry summer August nights
Can’t seem to get you off my mind
The mornings are even more difficult
I wake up missing you by my side
The sunny beach is a terrible site
I am not alone but alone in the crowd
As I walk alone the burning sands
I hesitated upon my every step
With thoughts of you being left behind
Us separated by the connecting ocean
Rescue me from this scorching summer
I should not be here alone without you
Only you have the perfect warmth
Around you I feel comfortable and calm

Money and Friends
When I was a teen my mom would say
“If you know someone you dislike
Loan that bright person some money
And he’d sure disappear from site”
“People that owes you money
Would not call or email to say hello
Would not send a card on a holiday
They’d rather wish you’d go away”
“Friends that asked you for a loan
And you happened to be broke
Would not call or email to say hello
Would not send a card on a holiday”
My smart mommy is always right
I think I’d rather keep happy friends
Ones that don’t need my money and
Ones I like to call and love their emails

What we are...
Two souls separated by a distance
Two hearts engaged with their own lives
Two spirits misplaced in each own horizon
Two people shackled by their own destiny
That’s what we are…
Love was introduced breaking the distance
Hope brings together the different lives
Faith binds two souls together in one horizon
Candles of passion burns the written destiny
That’s what we are…
Only time can tell and erase the distance
An eternal flame will burn the rest of our lives
Burning intensity you can see across the horizon
The scars of love and tenderness will rewrite destiny
That’s what we are…

A Song For Anthony
Please help me pray today
For a dear friend as I care
Be here with me for a day
Help me talk to our Maker
Friends let your love shine
Ease any pain he may feel
One kind word or just a sign
Hope for him a chance to heal
Let’s give him a healing touch
The way he touched our hearts
He never complains and asks for much
Instead BE STRONG a message he imparts
His strength gives me courage
His courage gives me conviction
His will built a strong sturdy bridge
That I can cross any sea of pain

The Perfect Match
Abused since childhood
He knows no boundaries
Growing up thinking love hurts
Any other way is misunderstood
The girl grew up in poverty
Intense greed paved the way
Ambition to be high and mighty
People are easy to manipulate
Developed no respect for themselves
Did not learn true respect for others
As they awkwardly walk their paths
They hurt everyone they passed
Together formed a vicious bond
People that cared were mistaken
They brought nothing but pain
And the only thing they leave behind

The Last Blizzard
The last blizzard was pretty harsh
Couldn’t get out I almost got fired
It’s a good thing I have a sweet smile
The good ol’ bossing took me back
I got stuck at home bored and half dead
Decided to take my bird out for a drive
The ice is slick but not really a threat
Hah! Can’t blame Bush for keeping them out
Like a damn foreigner not used to snow
Kept on driving slip-slidin’ away saying ya’y
Suddenly an old hippie van came crashing in
My bird is no match for the giant buffalo’s chin
An old hippie guy came out of the van
Long hair macho dude looks like Doc
Like a Cinderella story a cute cop came
Rescued me from a not nice spanking
