Fall Lines
wet leaves and long sleeves
trailing. I pull them down
I know your heart aches for me
but you refuse to commit
warm breeze, save me
from the anxiety in my soul.

autumn
asphalt street
grey sky
cool breeze
affords a floor
of brown leaves
to dance and
settle on a spot
your leather shoes
an eagerness
played out
by the leaves ealier
if i could just move
to welcome you
sweet heart
it would be agile
graceful
as the waltzing breeze
and the leaves
in their entrancing twirl of love
the museum and my poems
are nearby
there,
your heart will flutter
like the dazzling blooms - in spring
your tears trickle
in the spirit of my verses
if i could just hold you
by the hands again
and warm you up
with my love

Aches
My heart aches when i talk to you
My heart aches when i don't hear from you
My heart aches when i long for you
I don't know why
You've taken over my thoughts
I can't even explain
You're still a stranger
Far Away
I want you close by
I miss your embrace
Holding you close
I miss you

Greensleeves
Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me out discourteously
When I have loved you so so long
Delighting in your company
Your gown was of the grassy green
Your sleeves of satin were hanging by
Which made you be a harvest queen
Yet you would not love me
Green sleeves was my all my joy
Green sleeves was my delight
Green sleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady green sleeves
Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me out discourteously
When I have loved you so so long
Delighting in your company

A Warm Summer Breeze
The trees whisper in the breeze
The forest peaceful, quiet, and serene.
The warm breeze like a soft caress,
Momentarily eliminating all stress.
Without delay it carries on
Leaving the place in silence when it's gone.
A summer day, a summer breeze,
Softly whispered through the trees.
The summer breeze, softly it comes,
Quickly it leaves,
Causing soft whispers in the trees.
It came and soon left, a warm summer breeze.

Fade to Grey
Shane and Shay raking leaves in the autumn breeze
oh to be free under the trees in that autumn breeze
Tumbling and falling, scarlet red and amber warm
Shane and Shay in sync with fall
my loves, my life
The warm colors of autumn dusk, all too fast to fade
Winter beckons at the door; harkening no more falls
Scarlet tears mixed with gentle blue
sorrow and joy of maternal dues
Separate now, no longer one
No more days of raking leaves in an autumn breeze
Amber warm love gone gray
Why do my young ones stray

Beyond Young
Tell me,
Is it summer?
I have not seen the sun for weeks
Although I've heard
The sun is shining,
I cannot feel it on my cheeks
I gaze out into the world
And to me it looks dark and gray
It's like I am colorblind
The blues are here to stay
A restlessness seeps
Into my soul
And bleeds into my heart
I pull myself together
And it pulls me back apart
My body is still young
But my spirit is so old
While the breeze blows warm
Around me,
Deep within I'm so cold

Summer Love
Bill dees
Autumn leaves, when they fall
Whisper to the wind, ringing out, telling all
Of the summers end.
Now youre gone far away, how I long to hear you say
I love you.
Whirling leaves, swirling leaves tell me Im alone
Wishing you were here with me longing for you home.
Winter nights are lonely nights how I long to hold you tight
I miss you.
A gentle breeze in the trees will tell me spring is here
And I feel anxiety knowing youll be near.
Summer nights, Ill hold you tight
Under the moon above youll be my summer love.
When summers here and you are near every day Ill pray
Autumn leaves will never come and with me youll stay
You will mean more to me, yes, youll be
More than just a summer love

As the Music Plays
As the music plays
my heart aches
it aches with pain
pain of the past
and pain of the present
As the music plays
my heart aches
it aches with hurt
hurt that I have caused
and hurt that has been caused
As the music plays
my heart aches
it aches with passion
passion that yearns
and passion that wants
As the music plays
my heart aches
it aches with love
love that will never be shared
and love that will never be known
As the music stops
my heart no longer aches
it doesn't feel anything
the music has stopped
and so has everything else.

Settled in Nettles
I remember climbing nettles-
Nettles climbing our wooden fence,
The excitement of touching,
The thrill of the blisters-
The red and the oozing
Beneath my long sleeves.
I remember nettle necklaces
Burning the fingers that linked
The green leaves- big green leaf
To big green leaf- How
My neck had red blotches
Itchy and sore. I scratched
And then bled and then wore fluffy scarves.
I remember Justin Whiles
Who scrunched up his face and bit
On his lip and tied me with rope
And dragged the green nettles
Over my skin and asked, 'Why
Did we do this again? '
And now in my cabinets are nettles
In jars- jar after jar- big glass
Jars, brimming with nettles,
Their thick green leaves.
And sometimes the night
Gets quiet and cold
And I walk to my cabinets
And pull down the jars
And pull out the nettles
And bite on the leaves
And bite and then chew
And then swallow the leaves-
Leaf after leaf-
Jar after jar-
Till the night's not so silent.
Till I throw up green mulch
In my hands.

Save Me , Save Me
I cant stand the mornin light
Now youre gone , there aint no one to make it right
The way you do
Evry day I fall more in love with you
Knowing that you let this heart of mine
Be captured at the start
And I know you know that I cant get through
Am I living a lie when I reach for you
You gotta save me , save me
Only you can keep me warm above the storm
You gotta save me , save me
You know there aint a world enough without your love
Gotta lay my head , rest my heart
Dream my dreams, but theyre all of you
And they fall apart the way I do
Evry night I fall more in love with you
Praying for the day youll turn around
And make your love all mine
When a man goes down for the very last time
You can throw him a line
You can keep him alive
Ooo, baby , save me , save me
Only you can keep me warm above the storm
Why dont you save me , save me
You know there aint a world enough without your love
When do I get to be near you for all time
When do I get to be near you
When a man goes down for the very last time
You can throw him a line
You can keep him alive , ooo
Save me , save me
Only you can keep me warm above the storm
Why dont you save me , save me
You know there aint a world enough without your love (love)
You gotta
Save me , save me
Only you can keep me warm above the storm
Why dont you save me , save me
Only you can keep me warm
Ooo, baby

Thorkild’s Song
There´s no wind along these seas,
Out oars for Stavanger!
Forward all for Stavanger!
So we must wake the white-ash breeze.
Let fall for Stavanger!
A long pull for Stavanger!
Oh, hear the benches creak and strain!
(A long pull for Stavanger!)
She thinks she smells the Northland rain!
(A long pull for Stavanger !)
She thinks she smells the Northland snow,
And she's as glad as we to go.
She thinks she smells the Northland rime,
And the dear dark nights of winter-time.
She wants to be at her own home pier,
To shift her sails and standing gear.
She wants to be in her winter-shed,
To strip herself and go to bed.
Her very bolts are sick for shore,
And we—we want it ten times more!
So all you Gods that love brave men,
Send us a three-reef gale again!
Send us a gale, and watch us come,
With closecropped canvas slashing home!
But—there’s no wind on all these seas,
A long pull for Stavanger!
So we must wake the white-ash breeze,
A long pull for Stavanger!

Living life
Never thought that I would get to this day
Dreaming of the water on my face... the summer breeze took my breathe away.
Sitting here looking at my destiny....... Don't let the water take control of me.....
NEver thought that I let someone get so close to me.
I feel the warm sun on my face, never thought I ever get to this place.
Bronzed from the sun. do you feel my soul? Lost from the music in makes me whole......
I am at that special place, where the sun shines and palms shake...
Walking across the sand and my heart aches....... I look into my soul and I see the it has no end..... The beauty of the ocean is where I stand..
I never thought I would get to this place, never thought I let someone get close to me..........
take me away to that special place

We Should Have Met Long Ago
This heart aches to be with you
How it wished that all the miles
Would just fade out into the blue
And it would be with you all the while
This heart aches for you and me
Longing to bring back that lost time
When so much younger we could be
To share this last love in our prime
Too late it is, though persistently
It torments our hearts for aching so
Fate had played the game so clearly -
We should have met a long long time ago.

Save Me Save Me
(gibb / galuten)
I cant stand the morning light
Now youve gone there aint no-one
Oh, to make it right
The way you do
Every day I fall more in love with you
Knowing that you left this heart of mine
You captured at the start
And I know you know
That I cant get through
Am I livin a lie when I reach for you?
You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there aint a world enough
Without your love, ooh, hoo, hoo, love
Gonna lay my head
Try to rest my heart
Dream my dreams
But theyre all of you
And they fall apart
The way I do
Every night I fall more in love with you
Im praying for the day you turn around
And make your love all mine
And when Im going down for the very last time
You can throw me a line
You can keep me alive
You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there aint a world enough
Without your love
When do I get to be near you?
For all time
Hear what you say again
And I know you know
That I cant get through
Am I livin a lie when I reach for you?
And when Im goin down for the very last time
You can throw me a line
You can keep me alive
You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there aint a world enough
Without your love, ooh, hoo, hoo
You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there aint a world enough
Without your love

I Refuse
Everythings heaven sent
Thats what you said and went
Inside your fairy glass
Somethin you think will last
And when they crop you like a clown
You got your smile on upside down
B-baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
Uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
Find omebody else to use
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
And everythings on a whim
Thats what you said to him
Lyin in wunderlust
Are feelings you never trust
And when they pamper you with ice
I cant believe you dont think twice
Uh baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
Uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
And everyone makes the play
With nothing left much to say
Theyre all in an endless line
Waiting for equal time
They keep screaming its the truth
And you keep kneelin in the booth
Oh baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
Uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
Oh, I do refuse
(I do refuse)
Oh, you got nothin to lose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
I refuse
(I do refuse)
Ah, oo-oo
(I do refuse)
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
I refuse
(I do refuse)
Oo, oh got nothin to lose
(I do refuse)
(find somebody else to use)

Leave It As It Is
Diffuse it.
Refuse immediately to be teased.
Recognize when you are being baited.
And do not premeditate,
A nibbling of it to taste...
To eventually become displeased.
Leave it as it is.
There is no need to hesitate in waiting,
Wondering if the one who baits...
Will come to realize,
You are someone to prize...
And not one to foolishly waste.
Diffuse it for that which establishes value.
Refuse immediately to be teased.
Recognize when you are being baited.
And do not premeditate a nibbling of it to taste.
To then be left feeling remorseful,
Because of a decision you chose yourself to make.
Leave it as it is.
Save yourself from the crying of tears.
Save yourself from something that appears,
Devoted to commit...
When there is not a hint of any evidence of it.
Diffuse it with a refusing to be teased.
