ALIEN EYES

Start the music now................join in the cosmic dance.

Alien Eyes

Dancing after midnight, dreaming

With eyes as black as coals

Floating off the dew dropped meadows

With sadness in our souls.

Silver vessels watching us

As we begin our dance

We'd journeyed long looking for solace

To seek our second chance.

The darkened space, a hungry mouth

That swallows by degrees

We left the galaxies behind

That would not hear our pleas.

On angel's wings we do not fly

Nor walk the way of men

We dance step like the evening breeze

That's the way it's always been.

Music from the Universe

Fills our inhuman hearts

We long to join the symphony

But we are shunned apart.

But dance me now, my shadow lover

Dance me to the dawn

For night will end and with the morning

In silence we'll be gone.

Celestial beings love the earth

Like earthlings love the sky

But they will never know this freedom

Until the day they die.

We dance in light, we live in night

In joyous sweet despair

We watch them as they walk below us

And they never know we're there.

Our slender hands now joined together

We dance around the moon

And sigh to leave this place of beauty

For we'll be flying soon.

The earthlings do not often treasure

And rarely recognize

The wonder of this world we covet

With our dark alien eyes.

We love this world, we love this sky

That they barely give a glance

But tonight it's ours and we are happy

Tonight we come to dance.

GREATER THAN THE LAST

Greater Than The Last 

     

Pain.......

Intangible but nonetheless...

Real

Like nothing else in this life

It blots out the joy like a cloud

The sky

Darkens on a sweet summer morning

Thick and full and stifling

Like heat from a thousand ovens

And cold like the loss of a coat

In the snow.

Pain.........

Enveloping, grasping, tightening

Smothering

Death

That does not die

But only

Hurts

And goes on and on without mercy

Until the next heartbreak

Comes

When you are not looking

And when you have

Un-clenched your hands and sighed

In relief.

It's then........

That the devil in the corner

Of your eye stands front and center

Punches you senseless

And pulls the barely beating heart

From your breast

And steps on it......

And every pain that comes

In this life...............

Is greater than the last.

THE REALM OF SLEEP

 The Realm of Sleep





Walking in the darkness
Drowning in the deep
I see the things I cannot see
Outside the realm of sleep.

I see the dread and deadly things
The strangers in the night
I see the ugly, monstrous things
That dawn keeps out of sight.

I feel the ancient yearning for
The knowledge I don’t know
And reach for dangers in the dark
That mystify my soul.

And yet the urge to wander on
Keeps me from drawing back
Exploring continents unknown
And swimming through the black.

I walk a warrior in my heart
My step, unheard and light
I bound to mountain top and sea
A creature of the night.

In that dream world, I feel no fear
I feel no self disdain
I master every challenge there
And dance upon the rain.

Not every sleep will take me there
Those visits seldom come
But when they do, I hurry in
Like a lost child going home.

SHADOWLING

Celtic music

SHADOWLING

DOWN IN THE MEADOW WHERE THE WHIPPOORWILL CALLS
AND THE WEEPING WILLOWS GROW
THE MOON STAYS FULL MOST EVERY NIGHT
AND THE GOBLIN WINDS DOTH BLOW.

THERE IS A SHADOWLING BOY, THEY SAY
LIVING IN THAT PLACE
THEY'VE HEARD HIM LAUGH AND SEEN HIS TRACKS
THOUGH NONE HAVE SEEN HIS FACE.

UP ON THE ROOF IN MIDNIGHT'S DARK
DOWN BY THE WISHING WELL
THEY SAY HE HAUNTS THE VILLAGE GREEN
THEY SAY HE COMES FROM HELL.

WHEN MISCHIEF IS DONE, THEY SAY HE'S THE ONE
WHEN SOMETHING IS FOUND AMISS
THEY SAY HE'S TO BLAME, THOUGH NONE KNOW HIS NAME
AND I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS.

FOR MANY MOONS, I'VE SEARCHED THE MEADOWS
THE FOREST AND THE TREES
AND CALLED FOR HIM, THE SHADOWLING BOY
BUT NO ANSWER HAS COME FOR ME.

I BROUGHT HIM ROSES FOR PRESENTS
AND BREAD THAT I BAKED MYSELF
AND WHEN I TURNED 'ROUND AT THE WISP OF A SOUND
THERE WASN'T A CRUMB OF IT LEFT.

ONE NIGHT IN THE STORM AS I STOOD BY THE BROOK
AS THE DAY FADED INTO TOMORROW
I THOUGHT I HEARD A LOW, LONELY CRY
AND I THOUGHT I FELT HIS SORROW.

IN THE LIGHTNING STRIKE, I SAW A SHADOW
AND THE SHADOW STOOD ALONE
I REACHED MY HAND OUT TO THE GHOST
BUT IN THE NEXT BREATH IT WAS GONE.

THE PEOPLE SAY HE'S EVIL
AND MALEVOLENT AND MEAN
BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO JUDGE
SOMEONE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN.

THE SHADOWLING BOY IS A FABLE, SOME SAY
AND OTHERS SAY, A MYTH
BUT I THINK HE'S REAL, IN MY HEART, I CAN FEEL
HE'S THE ONE THAT I WANT TO BE WITH.

I'LL SEARCH FOR HIM AS LONG AS IT TAKES
TILL THE END HAS TAKEN OVER THE WORLD
BUT THE THING YOU DON'T SEE 'CAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE ME
IS THAT ......I AM A SHADOWLING GIRL.

ALWAYS SAYIN' GOODBYE

 Some body's Always Saying Goodbye by Anne Murray

Always Sayin' Goodbye



I watch you walkin' away 
Like you tryin' not to break into a run 
And Lord, a- mercy! I feel like screamin' out your name 
But I don't dare, I don't dare
'Cause I know you can't stand no clinging vine. 

"You and me got us a good thang going." you always say
Five seconds after you step inside that door 
Just before you grab me up in your arms 
And kiss me like a man just got outta prison 
But that ain't what you say when you walkin' away.

Sometimes I stand out here on the front porch 
When the evenin' is hot and I got the blues so bad 
I just wanna sit and cry my eyes out 
But I come out here and I watch that road and I hope
And I pray and I wish on ever God-Almighty star in that dark heaven.

Wishin' you'd come a-boundin' up that old weedy path
Smilin' that smile and carryin' that old suitcase 
Full of clothes that need washin' and songs that need singin',
Sayin' how much you missed me and how much you love me
And that you comin' home and this time, you gonna stay.

Nobody knows how bad I hurt but the good Lord 
Nobody sees how knotted up inside I am 
'Cause I don't let on to nobody but myself 
That I'm just fadin' away to dust and mis'ry 
Long as you gone, long as you just a memory.

My daddy left my mama all the time 
Left us standin' on that ramshackle old front porch, cryin' 
"Daddy, don't go! Daddy, come back!"
With our little broken hearts and our little empty stomachs 
But that weren't nothin' compared to this.

Why men always gotta leave??
When they got ever thang anybody could ever want 
Right here at home waitin' on 'em when they walk in the door? 
I never could understand that. I never could see no reason for it
There ain't no love out there in that ole world. 

What I wouldn't give to hear "Hello, baby!" right now 
Comin' outta your sweet mouth 
Feel them big strong arms around me 
And that fine frame of yours pressin' up against me 
Like wallpaper on a livin' room wall.

I reckon "Hello" is just about the most wonderful word in the world 
'Specially when you all alone in that world
And nobody notices when you there or when you not
I just need somebody to notice that, you know?
I need you. Dammit to hell! I need you. 

One of these days, boy, you gonna come home 
And ain't nobody gonna be here to greet you! 
I'm gonna be done dead of a broken heart
Dead and buried and gone up to Glory
What you gonna do then? Huh?

Maybe I'll leave a big sign thumb tacked up in the kitchen
Over the table where I eat my lonely meals, 
Cook up banquets that I know you'll never eat, 
Write long letters to you that I never mail
('Cause I wouldn't know where to mail them to no how.)

All that sign gonna say is Goodbye
That somethin' you an expert on 
Somethin' you know how to do better'n anybody on earth 
Lord, I wish you loved me like I love you but you don't
You say you do........................
But real love couldn't leave nobody like that and go walkin' away
Always sayin' goodbye.
