The Mage’s Power
In the realms of fantasy
Your heart bespeaks to mine,
And whispers of sweet and wondrous things
That lifts my soul to thine.
Visions of mystic mysteries
Unveil my clouded eyes,
And the world I see –
Is the most magical place
Because your love is mine.
Our souls create the Mage’s Power
That takes us far away
And all because our hearts are one –
Love’s majesty is here to stay…
Within this wonderful fayish land –
We’ll walk forever, hand in hand.

The Garden of You
My heart cries... “Don’t go!”
My soul mourns... “Too soon!”
My arms reach out... “Come back!”
Yet,
When I focus on you,
Truly, the essence of you...
I find a garden of hope -
In the flowers of your smiles-
Glimmering brightly.
In the well-spring of your caring-
Giving strength.
In the shade of your loving heart-tree-
Quietly comforting.
In the rays of your shimmering soul-
Eternally life-giving.
Then I know...
That which was you
Is there still...
Waiting for me
In the garden of you.

The Anatomy Piece
"Everything that glitters is not gold."
A famous poet uttered once in a poem he sold.
His words be solid if truth be told,
It is the knowledge of the ancient old,
Rubies, Diamonds, Gold and such
Are things we use as a crutch,
When the lives we have don't amount to much.
Life, I've heard is for the living,
It is the thing that happens
While we be dreamin'
The day to day...
The people along the way...
That ease our pain
And help us strive and gain.
So, yes, I say...
"All that glitters is not gold",
For glitter is false and will lead astray,
So, look for the glow of a friend's true mark...
It doesn't lead to riches of the material sort,
But enriches that most important part,
The anatomy piece known as the human heart.

God’s Awesome Avatars
I saw the angels…
Well, better yet,
I experienced the wonder
When by chance I met
God’s awesome Avatars.
They wrapped their wings about me
In such beautiful blinding light
And through their starlit beauty
I gained a mote of something
That woke up my inner light.
I know that they are with us
Each and every day
They simply guide and protect us
And ease our troubled ways.
I saw God’s Awesome Avatars
When I went for a walk today,
I know that they are with me
As I journey on my way.

Garden Of The Gods
I took a walk today
And stopped along the way
In to a garden I did stray
The Garden Of The Gods
Is where I laughed and played
Until the end of my days

An Angel In My Pocket
There's an angel in my pocket
She goes here
And there with me
She keeps me safe
And watches over me.
Advice she gives but sparingly
Yet, always, it is just right
She guides me through
Trying and troubled times
And sees that I'm all right.
A hand of comfort always
Is not very far away
When pain
And anguish fills me
Her LOVE does not stray.
Her wings she wraps around me
To protect me from all harm
Her very gift of caring
Helps me
Face the raging storms
I have an angel in my pocket
Who gives me such strength today
She wraps her wings about me
And helps me face
My trials what may
This angel in my pocket
Who goes here and there with me
Lifts my spirit high
And my soul
She has set free.

Born Free, Live Free, Die Free
I live in a country
Without boundaries
That is filled with beauty
That enjoys trust
That represents Freedom.
I live in a country
Where bombs do not fall
Where there is no dictator
Where people do not disappear
I live in a country
Where I can pursue my own happiness
Where I am equal to anyone – rich or poor
Where I am not suppressed by my race or sex
I live in a country
That foreigners would gladly come to
That foreign fanatics malign daily
That the rest of the world wants their counties to be
I live in a country
Where freedom rules
Where cooperation is practiced daily
Where diversity is an asset
I live in a country
That has always welcomed
That has never said no
That has always accepted those from a far
I live in a country
That others have killed to possess
That we have defended to the death
That skeptics said could never be
I live in a country
Where Bravery is an individual’s choice
A Nation’s Pride
And a loved one’s worry.
I live in a country
Filled with Ideals
Fuelled by Dreams
And populated by optimist
I live in a country
Where I was born Free
Where I live Free
And where I will Die Free.
My Country is
The United States of America
Where Freedom Does Ring
Where Right is the Might
And where justice prevails

My Country 2
I had a beautiful poem
About my country…
But the computer glitched
And I threw a fit…
For my beautiful poem
That talked of the freedom to roam
Went down the tubes…
Like flushing the lue…
And all my thoughts,
Patriotic and such
Were totally lost
And now I’m most cross…
For it really did say
What I thought today.
Now it is lost
Boo Hoo the cost
I’m morning this fact
With out any Jack
That my thoughts so profound
Did not find fertile ground…
But still I can say
God Bless the U.S.A.

TOMMY KNOCKER
And Tommy came knocking...
His knuckle bones
Rappin' sharply at the door.
Do not answer...
Oh! Do not speak...
When Tommy comes a knocking...
Then its time for the ghouls to creep.
It is the time for ghosts and goblins
And all manner of creepy things...
For when Tommy comes a knocking,
Then it must be Halloween.

Peggy's Prayer
God, please take her in your loving embrace
God give her what she needs, always
Please giver her some peace of soul
Please do not let her kill an innocent
Help her to learn what it is that she wants...
I don't think that she knows what that is...
And I think she is getting tired of searching...
I know I don't know what it is that she seeks
And I know I can't give her what she wants...
I don't know what it is... either.
And honestly, I'm tired of searching, too.
God keep me strong in my resolve
As that is part of your plan for me...
Keep her safe...
Show her the way...
Take away her agony...
So I have hope of someday seeing
The sister I know is hiding inside
The stranger I don't now recognize.
Help her soul to heal
And make her heart quit breaking.
Please, God, show her
That she is a being worthy Love.
Please impart the knowledge,
So that she believes it,
That she is a person worthy of respect.
And let her know
That even when I don't approve
Of her addiction
I will always love her.
This is Peggy's prayer
That I send to you, God.
Now and for always
She is in my heart
And part of my soul
That I am now intrusting to you.
