FULL MOON FLYING IN A BAD DREAM

Swirling up from the seat of a chair
Are the ideas arriving from nowhere
Days ago, she sat so quiet
In a darkened room with empty pages
Fighting the silent demonic rages

Now she's electric and burning bright
By the light of the moon, she's awake all night
Thoughts are coming to fast for her
Now she thinks she's the Global Queen
Knowing the answers to problems unseen.

The evening hours burn out the sight
of the upward celestial burning light
See her fly to a frantic peak
Where you can't reach her if you tried
The moon has come and she must fly

IN THE CARNIVAL OF FATE

Emotional outburst and twisting graces
Thoughts are running to higher places
Exhiliration bursting through
It's a chaotic circus ride to you

Scary faces inside her head
Spinning, jumping, swirling dread

On the coaster, moods will ride
Climb the murky walls outside

A zillion candles burning bright
Can you see the flames of night?

Trapped inside a tent of shame
Been to this Hell before I knew it's name

EXIT, STAGE LEFT....

Time has come to another page
another actress on my stage
frightened flower in a cage
secret shadows and forgotten rage

love can be a game for one
it can be a lot of fun!
hidden beaches in the sun
boring days from which we run

My god, my love, my precious dove
when you're away they push and shove
wrap me in the leather of your love
smaller hands in a bigger glove

Anger, anger, not for me
I want to live right by the sea
to seek the dream you saw for me
from now until eternity
