Baby Years
Time runs away from me
And it will take you along,
Let me inhale the sweetness of you-
The honesty of your innocence
That lingers on your child ears,
Dances along your baby smooth cheek
Before it diminishes
With the passing years
Let me hold you
While you still fit in my lap
While my arms can still encircle all of you
In a deep embrace
Let me savor you-
As I gaze into your eyes,
And forever define your precious face

A precious acquisition
Honesty,
A virtue so precious.
With it,
Lives are saved.
Without it,
Are lives destroyed.
Honesty,
A precious possession.
The humble,
Like a guest embrace.
The greedy,
Like an enemy they shun,
And with mud,
On its face they smear.
But the fools,
Like a stranger they fear.
Honesty,
A precious possession.
Its lovers,
To hens are metaphored,
But their ridiculers,
Are the hens themselves,
For God,
Honesty initiates and loves.
So anyone,
Who honesty champions,
Will for eternity,
God's friend remain.
Honesty,
A priceless commodity.

If love is what you want
Baby here I am
If tenderness is what you need

If you need some affection

Every door you tried to open

If youre looking for something
Maybe Ive got what you want
If theres one thing to remember
Dont forget that these are open arms

These are
These are
Open arms

I will love you with sweet surrender
Tonight our hearts will beat as one

Faith in Destiny
Forever shall I be there, willing to hold you in my arms,
I’d never do you any harm girl, for it is beyond me to do so,
But think not of me sinking within the waters of my own embrace
For faith in Destiny shall keep me afloat yet know that my affection
Is willing to coat you in the most profound of loves,
For romance breathes within this soul of mine and seeks another
With which to share it’s time. Forever would I be willing to hold
You, throughout the cold of winter, throughout our growing old
But only when you deem the time is right, for the mysteries
You perceived within my eyes are open to you if you will just
Join me one moment in naked embrace; I’ll open up the skies of
My love for you and we may swim an emotion deep beyond the horizon.

You Will Meet Her
you shall soon meet her
without her bandana and
you will open to her your
longings and you shall ask
why she remains single all
those years when she was
such a beautiful maiden
with slender arms and soft
hands, and you shall have
some confessions about
some matters of the heart
about women who savor the
loneliness beneath the
deep sunken eyes and
you shall tell me there is
nothing to be afraid of
about loneliness and
lovelessness, you relate like
two old best friends to the
notes of the piano playing
in the dark. There is no
reason. There is no demand
for an explanation. You kiss
each other cheek to cheek.

You say that love like ours lasts forever
You say that love like ours
lasts forever
and I wonder how
to let moments last,
as if they never can past.
You embrace me with fire in every kiss,
with a look in your eyes
that enchants me.
You tell me that now for the first time
you know that you are living
and I feel the pulse beat in your chest
knocking under my fingers
while your nipple gets hard
and your bright blue eyes are really pretty
while you throw
your blonde hair
with a movement over your shoulders.
When you walk away
leaving a picture for my eyes,
your perfume still lingers with me
and I know how happy I really am
but a few hours later
you are forever missing
and the decision
has been taken by destiny for you
and the angel of death
keeps passing me.

That Moment Of Time Gives The Meaning
Time passing by like a river in spring time,
Time always runs and never looks back,
We hold onto time and we use it,
But time is never ours, even when we wanted it to be so much.
With every second passing by,
Now we desperately hold the moment, soon it will be gone,
We shouldn't waste those precious moments,
Once it's lost, we'll never get it back.
There is time for hope,
To love, to remember, to enjoy, to forgive,
There is time, we shouldn't lose,
There is time for everything.
Do not let time be wasted in vain,
Without time, there is no meaning,
Use that time to make a mark in your life,
That moment of time gives the meaning.

Hold Me Close
Take me in your arms again.
Hold me close once more.
Take me in your arms again
like you've done before.
There's no other feeling dear
like your warm embrace.
You can tell how I feel
from the smile on my face.
Where can I get this feeling
when your arms are gone?
Only the memories of their touch
is what I must rely on.
They say my memories will fade away
as time moves ahead.
But what do they know of my memory?
These are just words that are said.
So take me in your arms again.
Hold me close once more.
Embrace me so I'll never forget
just like you've done before.

One Night
Released on cd single have I told you lately, 1993
Mike reid, troy seals
Call me a fool
Send me away
Ive got to say
Its you I adore
Alone and in love
Falling apart
I followed my heart
Straight to your door
Face to face
With all honesty
I would be greatful
If youd give to me
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream you never had come true
Oh oh oh oh
One night, just one night with you
Call me baby
Standing this close
The sound of your voice
Leaves me no choice
Am I so worng
To think ( )
cause baby youre all
Youre all Im thinking of
Face to face
With all honesty
I would be greatful
If youd give to me
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream youve ever had come true
Oh oh oh oh
One night, just one night with you
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
One night with you
In all honesty
Just one night
To lay in your arms
Just one, just one night, thats all I want baby
Oh yeah

Forever
Bess:
Baby Im sad
I feel you inside every time
I breathe
When I kissed your mouth
You made me feel strong.
You were my life from that first kiss
I knew you better than I knew myself
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever
Houdini:
Baby I miss you too
I spent my life trying
To capture a dream
When I touched your face
I burned with desire
Though our souls are worlds apart
Youre living in my heart
Both:
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever

Both:
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast

My heart beats to the memory of you
Both:
Love is the only thing thats true
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed

You were the only one
The one who could have made it

Together we will make it last forever
Together we will make it last forever

Eyes Wide Open
Your eyes are wide open, but yet you don’t see
All the love I have inside of me.
Eyes wide open, but you don’t look around
You don’t open your ears, you don’t hear a sound.
Eyes wide open but the beauties that surround you
Do not seem to exist.
Is it that your eyes on you are playing tricks?
Eyes wide open and yet you have a blank stare.
Have you closed off your mind?
Or you just don’t care.
What can I do to remove that haze
So that on my face you can gaze.
If I hold you tenderly in my arms
And kiss those beautiful eyes.
Will they move? Will they cry?
What must I do so that you can see
That our love was meant to be.
They say that you went deep inside yourself
To hide the hurt and pain
But without your love “ I am the same”.
Eyes wide open. Did they just glance at me?
Is it because your heart is finally free?
I see a tear forming in your eyes
Emotions being let out that you tried to hide.
Eyes wide open- now they are mine
I can see your love for the very first time.

Every Time I See Your Face
Every time I see your face
It is beautiful as flowers in vase
ERvery time I see your face
It is smooth as silk and lace
I see sunrise in your eyes
I see where the eagles flies
I see the stars in your eyes
I see where the mountains rise
Every time I liss your lips
This heart of mine flips
Every time I kiss your lips
I feel the joy of passion drips
I see sunrise, , , , , , , , , , ,
Every time I hold you close
You become poetry and prose
Every time I hold you close
I feel the fragraance of Rose
I see synrise, , , , , , , , , , ,
Every time you cokme near
My heart dances and cheers
Every time you come near
I see the love crystal clear

I know a child,
11 years old, and slices her wrists,
I know a child,
whose name is Elizabeth.
I know a child,
12 years old, and has a pervert daddy,
I know a child,
whose name is Maddie.
I know a child,
13 years old, and wants to die,
I know a child,
whose name is Ty.
I know a child,
14 years old, and came face-to-face with death,
I know a child,
whose name is Seth.
I know a child,
15 years old, and pregnant with a baby,
I am the child,

Hold On
Look in the mirror and tell me
Just what you see
What have the years of your life
Taught you to be
Innocence dying in so many ways
Things that you dream of are lost
Lost in the haze
Hold on
Baby hold on
'Cause it's closer than you think
And you're standing on the brink
Hold on
Baby hold on
'Cause there's something on the way
Your tomorrow's not the same
As today
Don't you recall what you felt
When you weren't alone
Someone who stood by your side
A face you had known
Where do you run when it's too much to bear
Who do you turn to in need
When nobody's there
Hold on
Baby hold on
'Cause it's closer than you think
And you're standing on the brink
Hold on
Baby hold on
'Cause there's something on the way
Your tomorrow's not the same
As today
Outside your door, he is waiting
Waiting for you
Sooner or later, you know
He's got to get through
No hesitation and no turning back
Let it all go and you'll know
You're on the right track
Hold on
Baby hold on
'Cause it's closer than you think
And you're standing on the brink
Hold on
Baby hold on
'Cause there's something on the way
Your tomorrow's not the same
As today

Melancholy Child
A baby with a baby just barely seventeen
My mother mourned her innocence
While she bounced on her knee
A daddy on the road added to her tears and trials
Like silver rain they fell upon this melancholy child
The sounds of my childhood still linger in my song
My mother's lullaby that train that ran behind our home
A whippoorwill on a window sill - it should have made me smile
But everything sounds lonesome to a melancholy child
Now a restless blood runs in our family
I thought I could outrun the emptiness inside of me
So I went a little crazy, went a little wild
Trying to outdistance my own melancholy child
I met a kind and gentle man who thinks the world of me
And when he looks my way it is a woman that he sees
But when I can't explain to him the tears that fill my eyes
He takes me in his arms and rocks his melancholy child
You take a black Irish temper and some solemn Cherokee
A Southern sense of humor and you got someone like me
There are thorns on every rose to this I'm reconciled
They're just a little sharper to a melancholy child
And in my own babe's eyes I see the signs of a melancholy child
Heaven help us all, another melancholy child

The Wall Have Ears
The walls have ears, ears that hear each little sound you make
Every time you stamp through a lamp and every cup and dish you break
But they can't hear a kiss or two arms that hold you tight
So come on baby, don't fight tonight
The walls have ears, better think before you fling that shoe
If you part my hair with a chair, they'll spread the news to Timbuktu
But they can't hear a kiss or two arms that hold you tight
So come on baby, don't fight tonight
Jets can fly, fast and high, rockets can go even faster
But they can't catch or even match sound traveling through plaster
The walls have ears, ears that hear each little sound you make
Every time you stamp through a lamp and every cup and dish you break
But they can't hear a kiss or two arms that hold you tight
So come on baby, don't fight tonight
Just in tonight
Don't fight tonight

Til' The Last Drop
My pen has only a little ink before it is dry, but my heart still has many more words to say. So I will write until my heart has no more words to say or ’til the last drop.
My dear sweet love;
It has been several years since my eyes have had the pleasure of seeing your beautiful face, or my arms the pleasure of feeling your warm embrace.
But I’d like you to know ‘til the last tear dropp falls
from my eyes, in my heart your love will lie.
‘Til the last dropp of love leaves my heart, you and I will never part.
‘Til the last dropp of compassion is drained from my soul, in my arms you I will forever hold.
It has been several years since you been out my life, and even through you’re in heaven you’re still my wife.
Well, my love the words are starting to fade, but not because my heart has no more to say, but my pen is going dry.
But before the last dropp I’d like you to know I will love you ‘til the day I die.
Sunshine Eyes
Sunshine Eyes
Inside her mind so rapid and kind. A grace and innocence long ago feared to be lost. In her embrace you still can find.
Revealed again and running wild. Inside of her it lives and breathes. Inside of her it thrives.
Sunshine eyes that rise with her smile, irradiate her laughing face.
Oh tiny one with eyes as brilliant as the sun. She overflows your emptiness. Carrying with her all of your hopes and promise for the days to come.
And when this world sears with endless hatred and crushing fears. Just listen for her whispers soft, those simple wisdoms in your ears. That tiny voice will steal your heart, she’s everything that you hold dear, your troubles fade and fall away, carry no weight when she is near. And with a smile she dries away the rising flooding of your tears.
Sunshine eyes that rise and shine, encourage me to keep the faith.
This musical child electric and wild while all around her love resides.
Excitement running she comes to you with endless energy in her tiny strides
And all at once a flash of light as every form of joy collides
I love you too. This blessed child so soft and sweet she does confide.
Sunshine eyes that burn so bright illuminate this darkened place. If not for you then for the souls that find their strength somewhere within your sunshine gaze.
Sunshine eyes of hope and light may your eyes shine on endless days. And like your eyes may your heart and soul with happiness forever blaze. And light the way for all of those that share your joy and witness all your sunshine ways.
(For my niece Lilly)
