Posted: 4/20/2006 8:13:40 AM | I am not affraid
to love you no
just where it might go
it is better for me
to love you then leave
it should be obvious to see
my way brings on heartbreak
something I never dreamed
life on the edge crazy
isn't easy to explain
Maybe day by day
I will find the way
do you got the strength
to live this way honestly
put your hand in mine
in time you might find
everything I say is true
remember me and you
life on the edge crazy
isn't easy to explain... | |

Posted: 4/20/2006 5:32:38 PM | I don’t truly know you
But yet a fear for you
I feel your emotions
When you speak
I feel like crying
When I feel you dying
Is it wrong for me to care
About one that I don’t
But dearly want to know
We all have problems
Some more than others
I fear her cuts
Her life slowly ebbs
She sees her life
Knowing it must go on
It tears me apart to know this
But what can I do?
I am but a man
And am helpless to stop it | |

Posted: 4/24/2006 2:04:23 PM | Walking into the sunset
the war rages to his back
giving up on the souls that need him most
returning to his cold tomb of pain
reguarded once more as the destroyer
seen once more as the jerk
times of change always come
and the best of friends will break
time may heal all wounds
but only makes some scars worse
my skin etched with pain and sorrow
my soul lost long ago in search of my mate
dwindling down my wayward path
as I walk into the sunset
as the war rages to my back | |

Sharing Whispers
25 April 2006
Was there a moment of time
to capture a heart in embrace
This taking of her hand to dance
as if heaven was in one room
such to this celestial being
Shall we dance in each others arms
this place of harmony to a Ross land
An unknown feeling to ponder
Shall we dance and never let go
When maybe truth was in a poets dreams
and fiction was unto friction to ignite
Flames to matches of a fantasy world
only God could create on high
This Canaan, as if an Antarctica of South
the northern lights of the Yukon calling
Oh to a prayer, oh to hope, oh to love
Shall we dance and know of a whisper to share
New Zealand sovereignty over the Ross Dependency, Antarctica, over 3000 kilometres south
of New Zealand, was established in 1923. The New Zealand Antarctic territory, therefore,
comprises the Ross Ice Shelf, the Balleny Islands, Scott Island and adjacent islands and the
landmass within these longitudes to the point of their convergence at the South Pole.
The Ross Dependency is constitutionally part of New Zealand,
meaning anyone born there is a New Zealand citizen.
Named from British Explorer, naval officer, (Sir) James Clark Ross, who lead an expedition to
Antarctica in 1841, in finding a path through to ice of the Ross Sea, in discovering the
Ross Ice Shelf. The British government took possession of the territory in 1923 and entrusted
it to the administration of New Zealand. Neither the Russian Federation nor the
United States of America recognizes this claim. With the establishment of the scientific bases
of Scott Base (New Zealand) and McMurdo Station (USA) stationed in this region of Antarctica.
Yukon is in the Northwest Territories of Canada.

you close your eyes
see me there
Whenever
you cry those tears
see me there
Whenever
life feels like a thief
gives you more grief
bring's you no relief
take me to heart
don't hide the scars
just somehow believe
I love you as you are
Whenever
the wind blows hot or cold
see me there
Whenever
the thunder cracks
have no fear
see me there
Whenever
you need someone warm
thank God you were born
your now safe from the storm
Whenever... | |

Posted: 4/25/2006 7:32:12 AM | To protect her i will give my life but knowing that will hurt her i can not
what must i do; my love never in need of my protection
yet my heart will allways protect her; never wanting to leave her side
yet the distance to far; my love will never leave her
always with my heart and soul because without her i don't exist
now and forever i need her in my life.

there for me when I want no one else
knowing my pain and understanding it all

twisted and turned broken in need of mending
we will build each other up
in this vast wasteland called life

Memories
Deep is the wound inside
I have so learned to hide
You don't see the pain
From this I refrain
Yet in the lonely night hours
The past rises like towers
At times in crowds of laughter
I can still see old chapters
I struggle to retain a smile
As I recall the years and miles
On my face you will never see
The constant haunting of me
Or my struggle to be free
Of torturing memories

Posted: 4/26/2006 12:17:19 AM | Leave the past behind you
the race has started
didn't you hear the starting gun
pick up that pace
toss aside every weight
it's now time for you to run
stumbling blocks
you can jump over
if you are willing
there is a way
no price is too high
this is your life
be in control
of your destiny
you are the captain
trim that sail stay the course
are things really that bad
for others you know it's worse
if you are free
then live like it
don't be a prisoner
of your own self
stand tall stand bold
just let it all go... | |

On The Mantle of Pain
On the mantle of pain
I look find the sane
inside of the insanity
I find the melody
that has become me
Now have the key
that sets me free
but never do I forget
the lessons of memory
On the mantle of pain

Posted: 4/26/2006 11:52:43 PM | Is your touch enough
to erase this pain
am I asking too much
can you love it away
an obvious infusion
sets in full view
tainted
stained
what are the rule's
emotion's in motion
fight to survive
no conquering hero
no place to hide
can you touch the sky
if you touch my eye's
will I be able to see
you can save yourself
but you can't save me
on this highway I ride
I am but one of plenty
distorted altered reality
bought with just a penny
good bad n ugly my life
scar's deep and wide
can't be seen on the inside
do you have a picture do
you want to read my mind
will the uncut version of me
change what you now believe
will I keep your full attention
can you learn to let thing's be
who will follow who will lead... | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 4:54:17 AM | A very lonely peanut
tired of life traveled
down a railroad track
he heard the whistle
too late he muttered
then like the wind
around that bend
came the 5:15
toot toot
toot toot
toot toot
peanut butter
that is the saddest tale
I have ever heard
bring's tears to my eyes
when I hear every word
if this doesn't prove
how precious is our life
then someone will you please
pass me that knife
because I have jelly
and bread waitin... | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 7:49:06 AM | I didn't write this,but i think it's a rather sad insight,of how a man loved by millions,was actually feeling:
One more phone call from a friend
Just to say how hard it’s been
How their hopes and dreams have scattered
With the wind
They don’t see that I’m there too
How it breaks my heart in two
Just to make it through this night’s all I can do
Help me Lord
I need the sun to drive away
The shadows in my mind
Help me Lord
I need someone to guide me
When the path is hard to find
Even though the crowd surrounds me
I’m still standing all alone
When I know I can’t go on
Help me Lord
As I awake again today
And my pain won’t go away
And the face I have to wear
Shows a smile
Now my nights are so alone
I just wish I could go home
I don’t know if I can make it another mile
Help me Lord
I need the sun to drive away
The shadows in my mind
Please help me Lord
I need someone to guide me
When the path is hard to find
Even though the crowd surrounds me
I’m still standing all alone
When I know I can’t go on
Help me Lord
I feel so alone sometimes
The night is quiet for me
I’d love to be able to sleep
I am glad that everyone is gone now
I’ll probably not rest tonight
I have no need for all of this
Help me Lord
Help me Lord
I need the sun to drive away
The shadows in my mind
Please help me Lord
I need someone to guide me
When the path is hard to find
Even though the crowd surrounds me
God I am so all alone
When I know I can’t go on
Help me Lord
Won’t you come and take me home
Help me Lord

Heres a poem fitting to your thread
Red Summer's Rain
The sounds of trumpets cry for battle
Armor, sword and valiant horse I saddle
Kiss to my lady I must go to war
Her life and this kingdom I must secure
Beyond the walls I race to the front line
Red gushes as my comrades fall supine
A Saxon grunts as my sword penetrates
My garments soaked as blood saturates
My axe swings as a men's armor is spliced
Daggers to the throats their jugulars sliced
Each damaging blow men cry out in pain
Blood warmly flowing like the summer's rain
Then without warning the sword thrusts deeply
In back to the front, all the way through me
My face hits the earth as the sword twists out
The Saxon moves on with a battle shout
Each breath heavier and slowly to gasp
Her pendant clutched in hand with my tight grasp
Moments from passing into the unknown realm
Leaving her behind as thoughts overwhelm
The beating of my heart is winding down
Cold and numb as my blood spills to the ground
The walls closing in as darkness unfolds
Last thought wondering what her future holds | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 6:25:46 PM | Title Water
How far,
How far must we go in life,
How much must we give,
How much must we lose,
In the search for love
How can you be certain you have found it
Even with great feelings you can never really be sure
To throw yourself headlong into something
Is the only way
Trying to find it all is hard
You want to give in so bad
After failing and falling
But you cant
You must fight on and never give in
All in the slight chance
That you might find your love
Its taken so long
But I am sure of this
That I have found you
I just hope that you have found me
abit on the light side, quite diff from my normal stuff. enjoy | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 7:22:05 AM | I caught a ride
on a passing star
I'm gonna discover
the universe
planet to planet
I will go
I know the milky way
is not a candy bar
cupid cannot shoot arrows
through lover's hearts
the rings of Saturn
is something to see
but it don't mean a thing
if there weren't no you n me
I went back in time
I saw you as a kid
you were somethin else girl
had no trouble fittin in
I forwarded in time to where
you were sweet sixteen
so cute and intelligent
so young so wild so free
I forwarded again you were 60
on your left hand was a ring
there on that MANTLE where
you used to go I saw my picture
I know now life don't mean a thing
if there weren't no you and me
I guess the lesson
here to be learned is
you don't need a star
nor go back in time
right here right now
you and me in this life... | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 6:44:14 PM | I call this...PRISONER OF Time.........coming home from Vietnam
Who is my companion now,
Waiting years gone by.
Hoping for our time to come,
Our rainbow in the sky.
Haunting nightmares you did live,
Memories from the past.
Casting shadows on your sun,
A darkness that would last.
Trying to escape the pain,
Wanting to survive.
Always on the battlefield,
Never quite alive.
I wanted to share present time,
To love you as I did.
I saw the goodness you denied,
Knew the pain you hid.
So you felt we all must pay,
A lifetime to repent.
Unleash your rage upon us all,
That"s how the story went.
Now I am the prisoner ,
Of nightmares you can"t see.
Carry scars deep inside,
For times that just won"t be.
Where is my companion now,
Those years long passed by.
He left this life so suddenly,
Like rainbows in the sky. | |
