One Step

One step, two steps, three steps four
Let's now open another door
Ensure a runway clean and clear
While keeping an eye on all things dear

Black Widow

A little web to trap fate
A little dew to draw your mate
A siren's song to set the mood
Before turning love into food

Silly rhyme grown-up time

Live it a little now
To avoid a messy row
Put on the line
To later let your spirit shine
Find another track
To keep boredom off your back
And forget about the past
As none of this will last

Springtime!

The creepers creep up through the soil
Freeing themselves from their nascent gloom
Opening green in the growing light
Finding air to feed their bloom

Reaching up to seek and grow
Spreading out row by row
Never resting for a minute
To find their frail and approaching limit

Timeless

Across the face of dusk was born
A savage hungry beast
That lusted after mice and men
And relished in each feast

Carving power through the years
And shoring up his strength
The monster's metal sharpened now
And cloaked by sugar and perfumed scent

Every where the mark is seen
A decaying, decrepit brand
That withers youth and all things pure
With a touch of it's ugly hand

ART

Shout the song within your heart
Stomp the beat carrying your feet
Spin through life with your melody
And bask in the glow of divine heat

Know the spark that lights us all
Gaze within and touch the start
Love those who gather all around
And feel the beauty of this immortal art

Late

Pull the sleep from my eyes
And take me to the edge of day
Show me cares both great and small
And help all my thoughts to delay

I've grown up fast and complacent too
Wondering what the fuss was all about
Now I wish that I'd been more awake
And followed conviction without any doubts

But now I understand, I can finally see
Why all those words were spoken
And lectured over and over again
It was to stop this life from being broken

Alone?

Looking up into the sky
I often ask myself why
We believe that we're alone
When evidence is piling up
That what we know fits in a cup

I Wonder

In years to come will we look back
With wonder at what we did
Or will we smile and nod our heads
At the memories only we can tell?

Joke night

Belly laughs clear the air
And guffaws and jokes mean we care
We gather round for worthy cause
Laugh and laugh between the applause
