Here Comes Halloween

Black roses and red leaves
and orange carved faces
with cobwebbed spider sleeves
and wrought iron fences
Darkness and harvest moons
with bats lining windows
Enchanting haunted tunes
and lanterns in rows
Sheets making ghosts
and painted ghoulish faces
and scarecrows on posts
and creepy haunting places
There goes a witch on by
Here comes a goblin in green
Did you hear a banshee cry?
Here comes Halloween

Serpent Heart

Your serpent heart in coils and scales
is ravishing these wishing wells
and I am waiting on the roses to sing
Your fishy words and spectre movements
like a serpent in the currents
I am waiting on the waves to bring
my body to the shore
to the islands seeking more
to the moment where my feet sink into dirt
but by and by the waves roll high
and crash me on and on and I
am tossed to and fro while getting hurt
Your serpent heart in coils and scales
seeks me out, no protective whales
come to save me from your leering ways
Your forked tongue and evil wiles
lead me down depths for miles
I am waiting for a bubble to bring
my body to the shore
to the islands seeking more
where roses bloom when my feet sink into dirt
where by and by the clouds roll high
and sunlight comes with love and I
am no longer tossed about getting hurt

"Love Song"

They said, "the roses are red"

They said too, "the violets are blue"

They blamed it on you

I say the sky isn't gray

I say I like it better this way

It's all becoming about you

They can wish to shoot down the wishing star

They'll never reach that far

No they won't

They can try to paint my life without you

But they'll never get through

Without knowing

I love you like rain loves clouds

I love you out loud

I love you, I love you, I do

The roses are red because of you

They blame the garden on you

And curse the sky for being blue

They still blame it on you

They can wish to shoot down the wishing star

They'll never reach that far

No they won't

They can try to paint my life without you

But they'll never get through

Without knowing

I love you like rain loves clouds

I love you out loud

I love you, I love you, I do

You made these violets blue

I say the sky isn't gray

I love it this way

So let them blame all the beauty on you

You make it all seem true

They can wish to shoot down the wishing star

They'll never reach that far

No they won't

They can try to paint my life without you

But they'll never get through

Without knowing

I love you in roses red and violets blue

I love you, I love you, I do

I love you like rain loves clouds

Out loud

I love you out loud

I love you, I love you, I do

You are in everything and everything is you

Hope For Spring

holdin' on to this
like a dying rose
hope for Spring, blessed Spring
to come
make the world anew
like it's all brand new
and it's alive with life again
but why is it this pattern?
silly cycles that i hate
why must I go through it
like I'm stuck inside a maze?
holdin' on to this
like a dying rose
hope for Spring, blessed Spring
please come
and rain on me with life
and take away the strife
paint my world with alive again
