Weal and Woe

In weal and woe I sit and wait

The sands of time consume me

And through my third eye I can see so much savagery around me

If music hath charms to sooth a savage beast

Then why do all the savages feast?

Feast on the sands of time, robbing them of their sweet elixir

Oh music of the heart, play your melodious sound

To charm this beast that I have found

Cast him away and save me from his savagery

For he feeds upon a sweet elixir, the elixir of time

An elixir too prime to be allowed to be left behind

Oh great beast thou hast disturbed my peace

Thou hast cast upon the sands of time a storm that ceases to pass it by

For now the hours fade from me and my eyes fail to see

Where the sweet sand has gone and why it can no longer be found

The River Seine

Holding hands in the moonlit night

I stare at the stars oh so bright

Oh beautiful moon thou shinest so favorably upon me!

My love and I we smile and rest illuminated by thee

Along the banks of the picturesque River Seine

We sit and stare again

We look not at the moon this time

But gaze deeply into each other’s eyes

Paris what hast thou done to my heart?

It has been mesmerized by cupid’s flaming dart

Oh Paris, oh Paris so beautiful and bright

City that has given my heart a new light

Oh Eiffel tower you loom behind

Your light continuing to shine

Shine forth onto me and show me the beauty of this city

Oh but my love I cherish thee oh so much

Loveliest girl of my heart

Angel of my dreams

Music of my heart

I hear thy song rising forth into the night air

You dispel all darkness and give love to the air

Oh mystical waters of the Seine fill my heart with thy love so dear

Oh Cupid but you hear my cry this night

I shall give you the gift of sight

For why need I eyes to see

When love hast captured me

Enkindle within my heart a love deep and true

So my love

You may love me as much as I love you

Hidden Heart

Oh sweet sun look at thee smile upon the green shrubbery of the garden

Oh beautiful sunlit garden here I stand and beg thee for thy pardon

For I sit in a darkening sky

Where the many nimbus clouds lie

I stick my soul through the clouds and smile at thee but thou dost not see

A beautiful girl sits on a park bench below

And in this Eden her smile is aglow

She has raven hair like the
