The Time Of October
She keeps him in her garden until the moon has found its place Every year she makes a bargain as she stitches up his face

SEARCHING
SEARCHING I’ve been through life, through ups, through downs, I’ve searched in squares, I’ve searched in rounds, I’ve never found that single thing that’s missing, Even when I sit there reminiscing, Something somewhere just isn’t there, Something from my heart that says I cared.

THE WHEEL OF LOVE
THE WHEEL OF LOVE The wheel of love goes round and round, Hearts and flowers, colours are found, Some are bright and some are blue, Some remind me still of you.

Where the Shadows Go to Dance
Come through the gate when the daylight fades, Where the moonlight flickers through crooked shades. The sidewalks shine from an evening rain, While red and gold leaves dance down the lane.

THE CHRISTMAS BLOOMERS
THE CHRISTMAS BLOOMERS I ordered some bloomers from the Ladies Catalogue, They came but they wasn’t my size, Oh what a shock when I opened the pack, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

TWO MAGNIFICENT MEN IN A FLYING MACHINE
TWO MAGNIFICENT MEN IN A FLYING MACHINE Two magnificent men in a flying machine, Came passing right over my head, One of them Tony, The other was Fred, They landed in a field not far away, And shouted, anybody want a ride today.

The Gravity in Eden
our bodies are graves where angels die and stars learn to breathe and the only difference between good and evil is the absence of ignorance if it’s the seed of the tree that dies and is buried then bears fruit forever is then a series of here and nows that are brief yet repeat what then can we learn of the consequences of love, light, and death it must be the gravity in eden falling in the age of reason even God has secrets

The Gravity in Eden
he stood naked and bitten numb to the gravity in eden eyes blinded by the sun you’re all i saw her whispers echoed waking in another dream concrete and blood glass and steel tearing across a perfect sky now veins of fallen angels bleeding through cities where the trees once reached the stars where they once soared with angels and eagles remembering breathing and the absence of God
