Not All Love Is Pure
not all love is pure
this my dear, you must know
still my love for you is always
as fresh as the morning snow
since our separation
i've cried an ocean of tears
for the hand that fate has dealt us
has given life to all my fears

Oh, My Soul
oh, my soul-
some say it is
an old one
others say it is
quite deep
but no one knows
my heart-felt joy
nor the tears
i sometimes weep
oh, my soul
has work to do
in its search
for beauty and truth
i see God in everyhing
as i have done
since i was
in my youth
oh, my soul
if i should pass
i'll know my
work here is done
but while i am
still on this earth
i'll speak my piece
out of a need
to be heard through
the written word

On A Rain Sent Summer's Day
did we not
on a rain-sent summer's day
sky filled with thunder
hide beneath your bolero
ground wet with rain
inquisitive man
that you were then
kissing first my eyelids
then slowly but surely
you kissed my lips
pressing your warm body
next to my own
you trespassed slowly
growing bolder
with each whimpering sound
that found it's way
up to my throat
somehow you never
noticed i was crying
did we not
discardng your damp bolero
wonder when the rain had stopped
rolling in the wet grass
your laughter filling the air
i fully realized
what i had only sensed before
it wasn't me
who filled your soul with longing
it wasn't me
who filled your heart with joy
you called me by another
woman's name more times
than i care to remember
so much for rain-sent summer days

Only Words
painted lady laughing
longing for a ticket
to take a roller coaster ride
with memories of a
long lost lover
once aboard the
riverboat queen
who was swept
out to sea
she cries out
inaudible screams
hearing only words of
drunken sailors dreams
while twilight brings
her promise of
a new day all she feels
is loneliness and pain
