DARE
In reality demons disavow
As the good times roll
The Temptations grow
Mixed emotions follow

Till death do them apart
Crime takes control
DARE the backstage
The audience no longer detached

The war is being fought on all fronts
With an army of DARE officers it seems
Still the enemy is getting stronger
By the minute,by the hour

The violence,The Crime on the high
And the casualties on the up
And the frontline is where you are
And the frontline is where I am
And the frontlines are everywhere
Nottingham,London Paris New York,
Etc,etc,etc

Memory Lane
Is it the love you brought me
That brings out the miss in me so great?
Or perhaps the love I am missing
That brings you out above the rest
Where you belong, if only I knew it

I see pictures of memories
of the love you brought and shared
Like the morning Sunrise
Without the thought of Sunset

Bemused and alone without you beside me
Just mindgames you played keeps me amused still
You came with more love than Man can give
Still your warmth remains
In our memory lane
Where I'll paint a picture for every step
Every stick you chased
And every bark that means something
Something that only you truly felt.
You came like all things love brings
They begin and they end
They come and they go...

Before We Even Met
Before we even met
I listened to your heartbeat
That tiny organ pumping ever so fast
It made you just that much more real

Before we even met
I felt you move within me
Each kick or turn reminding me I'm not alone
That fluttery feeling of butterflies became stronger each day

Before we even met
I saw images of you live
Moving and growing
Even sucking your thumb

Before we even met
I knew you were a girl
I studied meaning of names
While baby pink made me feel all a glow

Before we even met
I felt I was getting to know you
I spoke and often sang as you moved
Baby girl,I love you and I'll meet you one day soon

Talking Colors
Take the colors of the universe
Take them in the form of candles
Take the white candle
Take the Blue yellow green
The black and the red too
Space them evenly apart
Light them
Draw the curtains

In the darkness
What do you see..?

I see identical sparks of light
Light burning upward in harmony
Like the reverse of the stars
The stars above on a clear night
