The raven came calling
My blood curdling
Wondering the reason why
Staring up at blackened sky
My heart thundering
My words mumbling
I have heard of prophecies
As I got on bended knees
Asking for some other way
Yet the raven would not be swayed

Take it to the bank
Unreliability
Under mattress safe

#DavidsMonthOfMusic

Take me to another dimension
Skies a hopeful blue
Where pain is not mentioned
Love is what the world moves

Where alibis aren't needed
Truth is a commodity
Time for closeness heeded
And lies are never told to me

Yes, another dimension please
Where hope and truth doesn't tease

#DavidsMonthOfMusic

Grateful to be nominated amongst such great writers.

If you turn it clockwise
You'll lock it into place
Keep gravity in
Weightlessness out
Able to breathe too
Always a good thing
Maybe you'll want to sing
Seeing the vastness
Of this universe.

#FromOneLine

Those eyes
Wow
Ice cold blue
Freeze your heart
Erase memory
Those.. eyes!
Searing into my brain
Making me less than sane
With that smile?
That spells nothing but
T-R-O-U-B-L-E
And oh yes!
I am here for it

#pennedreveries

Amazing to me
Ease in telling many lies
Maybe no conscience

How Deep Is Your Love: Bee Gees

#DavidsMonthOfMusic

Funny how life works
Feeling alone
When all along
You're really not
People get caught up
In their levels of sadness
Can't really blame them
This world's filled with madness
We blend, we bleed
All of us with the same need
To be wanted,
To be loved

#pennedreveries

I find comfort
In a summer breeze,
In the birdsong in spring,
In the crackling of autumn leaves

I find comfort in
A child's laughter
A puppy's soft bark
All the love that comes after
A big defeat

I find comfort in
Ocean waves
The beauty of a mountain range
And exploring caves
