I'm not dead yet. Though the poems from my youth will generally not change, I may have found some of the hundreds I destroyed in the early 1990's. Yay for friends who kept old letters and booklets of things I did! I hope to revamp and add them soon.

Knowledge of Time
I live to seek out
Knowledge of time
Some never find it
Until they are gone
I am searching for
Myself inside
Who am I to say
What I have thought
When no one listens
To what I find?
Which way must we go
To find ourselves?
How old must we be
To understand?

The Universe
The rain is comming down
Soaking the earth and me
Together we are one
Together through this sea
The never ending boats
Drift aimlessly amiss
Gently turning forth
Thier amity and bliss
So dark and yet so light
Unknown and yet unseen
The universe is infinite
The universe and me

Reality
Once I had Hope
'til it crashed upon the sea
Once I had Love
'til it played it's trick on me
Once I had Laughed
' til a tear had dropped
Once I was happy
'til I saw reality

When the Light Dims
When the light dims
And the dark looms
I pray that you
Will help me through
When my life starts to fall
And I stand alone
Walk beside me
Hear my call
When all seems lost
And I've given in
Protect me from all evil
Protect me from all sin

Thank-you
Crystal raindrops fall ever so gently
Upon the barren land
Quenching the thirst of a thousand men
Who were powdered and dusted by sand
Along each trickle of relief
Floats the softly shading sky
Which allows the sun a break
From the sorrow that was cried
As the earth bids a "Thank-you"
To the wonders that it holds
The dwindling teardrops bid "farewell"
And bask in the glory themselves

Until the Willow's Weep
Singing the sight I see
Writing the wrath I withstand
Not knowing the knowledge I need
I long for a helping hand
The fury of my future foreseen
Burns and builds in my brain
If I try to turn the tide
I may just go insane
If only I could learn
The ways of the Weeping Willows
I'd surely be set with success
And full with the fame that follows

Silver Lake
He could see the swans
From Silver Lake
And he could hear the whispers
Of the men who hate
But in knowing of his haste
And sheltered lies
Torn between the two
He knelt and cired
Knowing that he
Could not share
Either one

Let Us Fly With You
They say that poems
Are to describe
In vivid words
From one's eye
A scene or picture
To paint with pen
Onto paper for them to see
A mixture ... a blend
But shouldn't it be
That your feelings should too
And your mind's games
Let us fly with you
Let your soul flow
As the pen glides
And when it hurts
Let us cry
And when your happy
Let your laughter remain
For I too have felt it
For we are the same

Following the Shamed
The words I have spoken
Have not yet described
All of my feelings
Which then I had cried
Following the shamed
I too have felt alone
And If only they'd hear me
What a life I should have known
But in disgust they've faded
And so I have been lost
Throughout this shattered time
I too have paid the cost
