Dragons Den

A dead idea is what they say
But I can't accept that, there's just no way
So I'll plow on no matter what
'Cause it will work - I know in my gut
Let them throw their hard remarks
They'll never extinguish these brillint sparks

Scent

Tangy citrus fills the air
A burst of fragrance every where
But the scent is not always sweet
When sitting all day in your seat

Fences

Behind the fences we all stay
Going about our work each and every day
Knowing so little of what's going on
Listening only to our own song
Until we're shaken from our daze
And realize too late we're lost in the maze

Silk

Butterfly in your silk cocoon
Don't shut your eyes to the glittering moon
Your wings are stronger than you think
As long as you flap you'll never sink
So flutter away in your world of rose
And leave to others all worries and woes

Words

My heart's not made of stone
And all those words were thrown
Without a care of what they mean
For the hurt is all unseen
Now the next generation is getting a taste
Of the barbs, the taunts, the waste
And it hurts even more the next go round
Because peace we thought was found

New life

What is it like to close your eyes
And wake up in a different life?
Will the light draw you in
As long as there's no greater sin?
Or will confusion keep you there
Moving lightly, as if through air?
Of either option the only must
Is passing the vortex while the old turns to dust

Yes

Crying out for release
From this obligation that I feel
To always be told you're wrong
And made to feel like a heel
Bullies come is many shapes
And many sizes too
But the ones that hurt the most
Are the ones you are closest to

First Snow

Winter's back! With a vengeance.

No quiet return over several days
No delicate flakes to brighten pathways
Just a dump of white from the sky
Leaving us all to question why
We live in this frozen spot
Where nine months of the year, it's just not hot!

The cold has frozen my brain and I can't think up anything better today. Sorry to make you suffer along with me!

Swan

Let my heart beat for the very last time
Bleach my skin with bitter lime
Take me to that frozen place
Where virtue's the only saving grace
I will not cry
When my blood's drained dry
And as my flesh turns to stone
In strength and beauty I will have grown
Now grant the wish of my inner heart
So we both may make a brand new start
Forever can't ever be long enough
For this kind of wondrous, fairy-tale stuff
Quickly now the sun's going down
I'm anxious to wear this crimson crown
Where life will suddenly be extreme
But also a never-ending dream

A little tribute to B & E.

You have mail

Yay! for the mail carrier who brings good news
On days when you'd otherwise be singing the blues
Life turns around in unexpected ways
And brings sudden surprises on grey-ish days
A reminder, I guess, to count our blessings
Since forgetting the roses is one of our biggest failings
