SLIDING
The brightest sunlight
will never shine so bright
as that nuclear light.
If they warned you
that god would scorn you
would you change your ways.
I am sliding
I have slid to far now
I see the morning star.
She was never told how
but she know’s now
I’ll see you later.
MORNING STAR
We go to fast now, this pace can’t last now
could we even slow down.
We’ll turn to Jesus, or turn to pieces
if we don’t slow down.
He’s screaming help them, can’t you tell them
they’ve got to slow down.
The sun was rising, it seemed like morning
but now its going down.
I’ll see you later, that’s what they say now
when things go down.
WALK AGAIN BY MY SIDE
Love can’t help when your dying alone
those kisses can’t heal this broken heart.
Iv’e taken as they’ve come, some Iv’e turned away,
I really have tried to look for only one.
You passed by me today, you walked that certain way,
I cried out “my love, walk again by my side”.
If eternity could be held like a rock in my hand,
that moment forever would be like the rock in my hand.
Now I’m out in the street, my heart skips a beat,
If the muggers don’t get me, loving you surly will.
You say love will not last, everyone must pass on,
it may be true what you say, but I don’t see it that way.
You see I can’t doubt love, cause it hurts me today,
that would be like giving up, before the gates open wide.
Lady I remember you now in this endless night,
how you pout at me, how I have challenged you.
EVERYDAY
A poem should be read like a song is sung,
with melody and feeling with an ear for meaning.
I think of you in the morning and wonder of your first smile,
the waking moan and stretch , I pray to see you again.
My love of you is this way, when I first stir I see you,
you are closest then to me, in the coming day you will fade.
but then when I least expect, in a hush or flash of light,
you will appear before me, aah but just a vision once again.
you are with me in my life, I sing songs to you everyday,
to me you will always be the best and have proven my greatest test.
