Life Happens

Whatever happened to dreams come true
Whatever happened to me and you
We live far apart
No life and no art
The things that made us
Who we are
In the past
Far away
Adventures to work
No time to go play
Alone I go work
Money for time
Dreams changed to exhaustion
Stress and fine wine
What is so good
About the good things in life
When all I want
Is time with my wife

More Thoughts on Life

What happened to those adventures
We used to take
When we were oh so young
What happened to those plans
We used to make
They always seemed like fun

But now we sit
And drudge away
This life we almost live
And dream of the past
When we used to play
Oh what I wouldn’t give

To be there again with you

Thoughts on Life

When we were young
And oh so poor
How happy we used to be

But now we’re old
With money’s score
A sorrowful sight to see

The Manager

An aura of artful arrogance
Worn like the robes of a priest
While worn-out workers wriggled and wreathed
It didn’t bother him in the least
To help them up
Or ease their pain
This artful manager
Was far too vain
He alone knew what was right
It didn’t matter their lowly plight
And in the end his power grew
Just like he knew it would

Love Is The Key

Love is the key
The way for life
Love is the key
To end all strive
Love is the reason
The means
The path
To end all hatred
Anger
And wrath

Love is the key
The way for peace
It soothes the soul
And gives one release
It gives life its meaning
And helps to
Make sense
This thing we call love
Is truly
Immense

Apology

I’m sorry I make you so miserable
I’m sorry I make you so mad
I only wish you were happy
Is that wish really so bad?

The Song of the Darkwing

Spirals of chaos
Fill my dreams
Colors collide
Or so it seems

With thoughts and sounds
In a clamor of noise
That smells of death
With grace and poise

A darkwing sits
On a branch and sings
Withered songs
That sound like screams

Cries for help
That none will hear
Sounds so terrible
You’re filled with fear

To lose those things
You do not own
Love now lost
You cry and moan

And life’s a piety
So dreary, so dark
Gray and lonely
Has left its mark

You sit and stare
In waves of grief
And still he sings
That darkwing thief
