The 23rd Song of DavidDavid had two wives, and I have none
Was he truly never in need and not of wants
Oh, how is this not a comical pun
Just to say that he was full of need and wants
Did YWHW give him, or did he earn?
Did he have a Shepard or a servant?
I feel that the imperfected get to have...

Empty tracks without youInspired by a love story
Empty tracks without you
By Michelle Morris

I tried to get you out of my head
I tried to get you out of my heart
But there was no way out for me
I was in too deep from the start
And even when I tried to leave
The ghosts of us would hold me back
I feel...

The Sad Siren SongShe wore necklaces of coral,
strings of pearls embracing her body,
glinting back at the broken sunlight
scattered across the sea floor.
Her glassy eyes gazed up,
somewhat worried, somewhat mournful,
longing to leap above the waves,
to sing that chorus of birds passing by.
Longing for her voice to take flight,
uninterrupted by ships sailing by.
She wasn't born a killer;
just...

Plagued by Memories, Roll Credits, a SawTooth, Lyrics
The reality be told, it was not long past,
Flabbergast by an unfold from my mind’s vague vast,
In reflections of the accounts of my youth,
Echoes formed, all claiming to be truth.
Must be fabricated, they’re so over the top,
Consulted a friend, a retired old cop,
He said no evidence on the inquires I’d send,
Crazies, PTSD’s, false memories blend....

Acta est fabula, plauditeWhat I sing from my chest
Only for ivory keys to hear.
Are the same old words
That cracked lips bear.
That familiar tune that calloused fingers play
Is the one that my own heart aches to say.
I have plucked and I have strummed
But when its my own heartstrings
That are plucked for the masses
Will my soul succumb or...

How to write a hitFingers so sore from learning the chords,
Getting the rhytme without knowing the words.
It all sounds so good here in my head,
Blood from my fingers turning the fret board red.
But I've got to keep trying, just carry on,
Or the thoughts that inspired me will be lost and all gone.
I've got to decide on the ideal...

Why?
Tears compel my heart to scream, then sigh
still as the winter's breath who inspires
Listening to my soul's grief, I search the sky
glistening stars, moon and dream admires
Grace grows in the heavenly realms, oh why?
Everywhere I go I feel the glow of love's fire...

Just waiting for your call, A Stevie Wonder style ICU GrroveIn this white-washed room, time moves slow,
Monitors beepin’ soft and low,
I got tubes and dreams, but one thing’s clear—
The only medicine I need is your voice in my ear.
Nurses come and go like the wind through the door,
But I’m anchored in a hope I can’t...

The Music of Waves“The sea casts a magic spell with the ever- rising breakers and the melody, the clanking of waves produce. It amazes us with the wonders hiding within its caverns. Without drawing any boundary or barrier, it rushes
to touch or submerge everything on its way”--- Quote by the Poet.
What engrossing feel overpowers me,
As I loiter along...

The Whisper through the WindThe whisper through the Wind
The wind whispers a cry, a howl of sadness
the wind whispers a song, a howl of gladness
the wind whispers a message for you and me
the wind whispers and we here but can not see
At night and in the light the wind whispers
Over the mountain and in the canyon the wind whispers

Sailor song, my versionYou saw me in a softened light
Like something you could hold too tight
But baby, I’ve been breaking slow
You know, you know
You kneeled like I was everything
But love don’t come with angel wings
And what you wanted, I’m not sure I owe
You want me kissing on your mouth and loving like a sailor
But I’ve been lost at...
