The Illuminated: To see what is unseen, to hear what is unheard. To gather forbidden knowledge and speak the unspoken word. To stand in the shadows where seldom people see and watch the world go by in total secrecy. Control and power cloaked in subtle deceit. They will find victory where others see defeat. They wield forces that most can't comprehend. They bend the wills of men while posing as their friend. Tangled webs they weave. The masters behind it all. As they make countries prosper and then make countries fall. Like a puppet master they guide the strings of man toiling and scheming to a most elaborate plan. But from the multitudes there arise the chosen few. Ones who can see the strings that are tied to me and you. They are the illuminated, guardians of those who will not see. They fight the puppet masters and battle to keep our wills free. It is an ancient battle that rages still yet today. The war of good versus evil, the one where all must play. So, open your eyes and step forward into the light. Help the illuminated in their never ending fight. For those who seek the truth, illumination can be found. All one must really do is look at whats around. If we wake up from our slumber and enter into the fray, we may break the yokes which bind us and find freedom yet today. |
A legend reborn Riding on mists as free as a breeze I haven't a care and do as I please
As I look to the valleys and hills far below My mind wanders back to a time long ago.
My eyes catch a dragon as it belches a flame And the frightened knight dies alone and lame.
A castle stands quiet in the shadows of night As a unicorn sleeps till dawns early light.
A glint on the horizon catches my eye As the sun struggles forth to meet with the sky.
There is a king and his knight's preparing to fight Their heads all held high it's a glorious sight.
My mind leaves the scene as it floats ever on Seeing the ending of day and the coming of dawn.
Then there's a wizard preparing a spell To regain a kingdom that has long since fell.
When the time is most right the lady will bring A sword from the lake that belongs to a king.
I see quests for an object that some call the grail. Though many have searched they all seem to fail.
There's a king they call Arthur who was once and shall be. This may really sound strange but he looks just like me.
My mind slowly clears as I wake from my dream As I get to my feet and go wash in the stream.
Off in the distance my eyes catch a glare. I go forth in caution to see what is there.
What I see next makes me stifle a groan. There's a magnificant sword imbedded in stone.
I go to this sword and grab hold of my prize As I pull and I tug it then starts to rise.
My blood pumps faster and my heart skips a beat. I've pulled forth the sword an impossible feat.
Now I remember, I was once and shall be The king of this land, the land of the free.
I am armed with Excaliber, the sword of the kings. I know of it's power and the peace that it brings.
I've returned to my kingdom as Merlin has sworn Because I am the king, I am Arthur reborn… |
Reunited For much to long we had stayed away For fear of each other and what to say.
We lived in the past, afraid to move on Till reality struck us, then the fear was gone.
After many years of being apart We've found each other through trial of heart.
We shared our pains through tears of woe And in sharing our truths we started to grow.
We grew in love and peace of mind Now are souls are free to search and find.
We are closer now than in the past. Within my heart I know it will last.
The future, I hope, holds memories galore Of laughter and good times plus so much more.
We are mother and child, an eternal bond. And both need each other, of that I am fond.
The love that we have will never die. No matter the hardships or how hard we try.
So, remember these words till the world does end Because you are my mother and also my friend. |
Like a dream Like a dream I saw her with beauty like a spell. I stood enthralled as under her spell I fell.
Her hair like strands of nightshade and eyes like pools of gold Reached within and grabbed my heart with a vigor yet untold.
This vision of a goddess is swirling inside my head With breath so soft and sweet and lips so full and red.
She glows with warmth, like the dawn of a new day. As I look upon her all my troubles are swept away.
Her smile, so gentle, so full of love and hope Is enough to command my spirit and give me the strength to cope.
I'd go to the ends of the earth or beyond the reaches of space. All for her because I'm caught within the splendor of her grace.
She regally stands before me and holds me in her arms Keeping me safe from troubles and enslaving me with her charms.
Kissing her lips, so perfect, enflaming my tortured soul Is more then enough to tell me that without her I'm truly not whole.
The heat of her passion, and the grandeur of her form Buffet my being like the fury of a storm.
Her voice, so bright and full of life, with breath as pure as dew Encircling my senses, driving all but her from view.
The appearance of this angel is a miracle so divine. She inspires me to greatness and makes my being shine.
The peace I feel is like a clear night's starry gleam. Everything about her is truly like a dream. |
Childhood nightmare He sits in a corner cowering in fear. With his head in his hands he sheds a tear.
The fear is overwhelming to this neglected boy. In both mind and soul he feels no joy.
He wishes most dearly that the pain would cease But this child knows of no such peace.
His body is battered and his heart is hard, His life is in shambles and his soul is marred.
He knows of no one to call his friend But is constantly praying it will eventually end.
He is a helpless prisoner of someone's hate And life has been hell with the penalties great.
The pain and the suffering are to much to stand. He let's out a whimper and moves a hand.
There's a haunted look in his gloomy eyes. He tried to stand but cannot rise.
He falls to the floor with no will to live, Then closes his eyes with no more to give.
The life and spirit leave this battered host As the heart and soul give up the ghost.
His parents will find him with a smile on his face For he has found his peace in God's good grace. |
Storm We hear whispers form the shadows like a lovers soft caress That tempt us so, but always cause great measures of distress.
Sometimes it's like a maze to find the path that's true As temptation tries to deceive us and keep our minds askew.
We deserve much better then to keep sinking into gloom. We must fight and make a stand against these masks of doom.
Greed, hate, lust and other masks as well Cause torture of our spirit within a living hell.
There are wonders of such beauty just waiting to be found, Look beyond the madness for that place of solid ground.
Let us look into our hearts to find the things we need From faith, hope and love to the desire to succeed.
We can find our focus and come back from despair, Just seek that place of inner peace and travel till your there.
The journey isn't easy, but it's something we need to do. It takes courage to brave the storm and strength to see it through.
But when you reach the storms center and rest within it's eye You'll know it was worth the effort of struggling forth to try.
The storm will rage around you and try to lull you in. Just stay within the eye, it's the only way to win.
Always will there be this storm raging within our soul, But as long as we fight temptation we'll continue being whole. |
The sharing of sorrows Who lets us hurt, who gives us pain? Why let us cry when it all seems in vain?
The pain and the suffering cause unending tears That flood out the good times you've had through the years.
Can it be fair to have feelings like these For they tear at your heart like a thriving disease.
You feel oh so empty like there's nothing to give. You feel like your worthless and you've no right to live.
Does the hurt have a purpose? Does it open our eyes? Does it cause us to grow, or is it all just a guise?
The heart slowly withers and the soul starts to fade. You really feel worthless from the price you have paid.
Can nothing be done to ease all this hurt? Or do you live out your life feeling lowly as dirt.
Where are the answers when you need them the most? Do we reach out for help or give up the ghost?
Who really knows the cure for despair? Does it take time to adjust or kneeling in prayer?
For those that are hurting I know what you feel. I've been there before and with time it will heal.
The thing to remember is never give in, You may loose the battle but the war you can win.
Hold strong to those feelings of faith, hope and love Because God helps all people from the heaven's above. |
"The well traveled road" Hello I say to you with a warm friendly smile. We all here applaud you for this miracle mile.
You have covered great distances with strength untold. I would tell you a story so let it unfold.
I know of a woman who's life was a mess. She felt depressed and hopeless and couldn't care less.
She drank and she drugged to kill all the pain But lower she sank with nothing to gain.
She got to the point where no more could she give. She wanted out of it all with no strength to live.
So suicide she tried to escape her hell on earth But her higher power saw in her a far greater worth.
He cradled his tortured child in his loving arms And showed her a way to heal all the harms.
So out of her shame and the wounds to her soul She started the climb to make herself whole.
The way to serenity was a long rocky road And staying sober was a tremendous load.
But through her higher power and her will to succeed She traveled that road to where it would lead.
Mistakes she would make and the temptations strong But she found strength to overcome, making right of the wrong.
She does have great worth as her higher power knew And as she's continued to heal she's shown that it's true.
Throughout her life she has touched many a heart. Selflessly she has given of herself to give others a start.
This woman I speak of is special to me For she's part of my life, she's my mom you see.
We haven't always been close as you and I know But I've stopped living the past so now we can grow.
Our relationship has strengthened as we've opened our eyes. We have built off the truth and discarded the lies.
This is truly a celebration of which you have earned For you've passed on to others the things you have learned.
You have stayed true to yourself for twenty years now And accumulated knowledge to show others how.
I call it a miracle these victories you've won As are all other people who have done as you've done.
May you always stay true to who you are. May your victories be many and may they take you far..
It is to your accomplishments mom that I wish to applaud And the reason you’re here is but the grace of God.

This poem was written as a tribute to my mother for her life long struggle to over come the disease of alcoholism. She has been sober over 26 years as of this posting,. At the time of the writing she was celebrating 20 years. It truly was a miracle. |
The desecration He stands on a hill with his face to the sky. The rain is a downpour but he looks very dry.
He incants a spell in an ancient tongue And the earth shakes violently as if it's been stung.
He raises his staff aflame with it's might Awaiting his vengeance on this very cold night.
He doesn't wait long for the action to begin As the foes shows his presence with a wide evil grin.
No words are exchanged but the two lock eyes. There will be one lives and one who dies.
Hell breaks lose as the battle is born And the fabrics of peace are quickly torn.
It lasts through the night and into the day. Then the good one is injured as he then starts to sway.
But his rage is enough to keep him alive As he looks for a way to surely survive.
He searches his mind for a powerful spell Then he remembers the powers of hell.
He recites sorcery of the evilest kind For his anger is great which has made him so blind.
The spell takes shape and his foe is afraid Because he knows of it's power and the bond that's been made.
Fire scorches the earth turning all to waste. Nothing is left but this man of haste.
He screams out in anguish for the wrong he has done. He has defeated his enemy but has really not won.
He has committed a crime that can't be undone So the man takes his life in the light of the sun.
The earth is dead but something still grows. Next to this man blooms a lovely red rose. |
Friends To you dear friend I have pride to say We have shared our lives from day to day.
We have given our hearts, our souls, our minds. We are so much alike yet of two different kinds.
We have helped one another, we've never given in. And no matter the odds we set out to win.
We talked of girls and loves we'd had. Some were fulfilling while others went bad.
We loved each other as all friends should/ We gave it our all whenever we could.
Together we laughed and together we cried. We had conquered the world till the day that you died.
Now that you've gone it won't be the same. But your memories go on like an on burning flame.
I loved you most dearly, I can truly confess. And now that you've gone I love you no less.
Rest peaceful my friend for I'm not far away. When the time is most right I'll join you someday.
A part of my soul has gone with you. And what we did share is known only to few.
God speed to you now, I'll forget you never. Because we are friends and friendship's forever. |
My own little space Alone on the beach is a time to adore With the sand in my toes on that peaceful shore.
The seagulls screech as they pass overhead As they make for the cliffs and their peaceful bed.
The sun hits the horizon ending another day And my prints in the sand are washed far away.
Our mistress, the moon, is full and most bright As I wander and ponder on this star studded night.
The darkness is kind like a silent friend. It helps me relax as I look toward day's end.
The shells and the starfish are all that's around. Then their washed from the beach, not to be found.
I see a sandcastle that was built by a child. The walls are all shattered by a tide that's gone wild.
I walk to the water acting so bold. Then I enter the surf and am bit by the cold.
The mist stings my eyes and the wind whips my hair. It’s a feeling of exhilaration I'd rather not share.
A fog sets in that blankets the beach. It smells of the sea which is just out of reach.
A ship in the distance is sounding it's horn Breaking the stillness like a baby newborn.
This is the life in this tranquil place For it's my domain and my own little space. |
Thinking of you My memories are strong and my feelings are true. When I sit here in thought I'm thinking of you.
The dreams that I dream are of one single face. And those deep starry eyes are full of your grace.
You are special to me, you seem oh so right. Your heart is quite warm and your smile so bright.
You make me so happy that I smile all the time. When I hear your sweet voice, my spirits do climb.
When I walk late at night and look toward the moon, I hope you will join me at a time very soon.
You’re the finest girl a man could meet. Your full of compassion plus gentle and sweet.
When I'm to see you, I'm sure no one knows. But when I do come I'll bring you a rose.
We'll float on the currents of the gentle breeze Then walk on the beach of earth's blue seas.
Till then my love, I say hold on. For as long as you remember the love's never gone. |
A sorrowing Majesty

Friendships We can surely laugh when times are bright. When the world seems pure and all is right.
But surely we know when we're full of fears That the laughter dies, replaced by our tears.
Let's not forget hate that devours the soul Leaving us empty, lifeless and no longer whole.
There's pain and suffering that some people feel Which destroys their faith in what is real.
So many are lonely and full of despair. But all they need is someone to care.
Someone to share in both joy and pain And keep us away from going insane.
Someone who's true from beginning to end. They are our salvation. I speak of a friend.
These friends are people like you and I. Sometimes they laugh and sometimes they cry.
They need friends just as we do So give them support to see them through.
Then when both are giving as only friends can Something happens that no one can plan.
A sharing of hearts, souls and minds. The deeper each goes the more each finds.
The miracle of friendship, a deep rooted link. It's as much as you want while being more then you think.
Together you’re a mountain of faith and hope Which gives you the strength to fight and cope.
So many out there, alone and afraid Just waiting for the time when friendships are made.
So, if you see someone down with despair Go up and show them that some people care.
Who can tell? That's how friendships begin. And if it does then both of you win. |
Trial & error Through trial and error we live each day Looking to improve ourselves in every little way.
We look for answers to questions we may ask. But some of us can never get to the beauty beneath the mask.
It's a mask of denial and suppression of our fears. It's running from ourselves and blending in to be just like our peers.
We are all unique in who we are, but still a lot we share. We struggle unending to find ourselves and unlock what's really there.
It's important to be yourself, don't act out who your not. Embrace your fears and surrender to that peace so long sought.
Be true to yourself and not to others for it's you you've got to free. It doesn't matter what others think because it's you who holds the key.
Only that person within the mirror, the one looking back at you Can give you strength to free yourself and see your whole life through.
Don't swallow your feelings, express them as they come. Because pushing them down within yourself will make your spirit numb.
You must have balance with yourself in heart, soul and mind For you must love who you are before others can join in kind.
On the other hand where others are concerned. They must look within themselves to have this freedom earned.
Concentrate upon yourself and heal those wounds within. For if you do the world won't end and you might find you'll win.
If all the people of this earth would look for inner peace I believe most surely that we would see our conflicts cease.
I know it isn't easy to dig up who we are. But if we'll just take that step then we all will travel far.
It's a never ending process, and an ever uphill climb. But remember these words to give you strength…One day at a time |
Never to late The fog slowly clears from the tangles of my mind, As I look to the past I'm shocked at what I find.
A path of scattered footsteps in chaotic disarray. It's no wonder I've been lost until this time today.
I see where I have stumbled and circled round and round. I see where I have backtracked and times that I lost ground.
So much time have I squandered in the madness of this maze. I see my road to ruin in each place I cast my gaze.
Though my trials have been many and my past a living hell, Only I can overcome and work towards getting well.
In the shadows of denial I sought to pass the blame. I thought others were the problem that's how I played the game.
My first step to salvation is to surrender my control. I must face my past and make amends and purge them from my soul.
I am all out of excuses, no more will I run in fear. I must stand and face the truth no matter how severe.
It takes a lot of strength and courage to change the way I live As well as humility and compassion for the power to forgive.
From this moment forward I choose to open my eyes. I will answer for my actions and make right of all the lies.
I always will remember the memories from my past. But I'll put them all to rest to give me peace at last.
The road, which I follow, won't always be straight and clear But as long as I stay true to myself the map is always near.
I am so very precious and who I am is real. I finally have come to learn, it's never to late to heal. |
Sunset at the beach Here I have come to wage war with the tide but I am swept up in wonder that won't be denied.
I fall from my feet to sit in the sand to absorb all this splendor that is stunning and grand.
The heavens are afire with crimson and gold. There can't be more beauty that one can behold.
The surf is carressing like a lover's soft kiss. I am caught up in passion that no one should miss.
The warmth of the sun as it fades from the sky is gentle and soothing as it bids me goodbye.
My soul takes flight to soar with the breeze as my heart is filled with such comfort and ease.
No worries or cares could you bring to this place for it's very majesty is your redeeming grace.
I am so very glad that I came here this day for I came here to battle but decided to play.
Can you not feel what I am feeling? Come sit next to me. Let the earth share of itself so that you to are free. |
Song of nature Listen to the song of nature. The symphonies abound. Concerting in harmony they make a perfect sound.
Cascading diamond droplets falling from the cliffs on high to strke with awesome fury and sound their battle cry.
The gurgling of the brook, a lullaby for the trees who hang their limbs in homage weeping dew drops from their leaves.
The rocks who sit in silence, firmly set in place like an audience enraptured caught by naked grace.
The moss, it clings so desperately as if never to let go. It wants to thrive and prosper. It wants the chance to grow.
The breezes flirting playfully with everything the brush whispering lusty little promises that make the folige blush.
Like a window to the soul sits the pool so clear and clean. The sacred inner sanctum, a place befit a queen.
The moss, the trees, the water, the rocks, the breeze, the sand all are singing the song of nature to give life unto the land. |
Playmates Rough and tumble we have been all throughout the day so now we stop to rest and take a break from play.
I bit and snapped your ear, you growled for me to quit. I smacked you with my paw, you really threw a fit.
We wrestled back and forth, you pinned me to the ground. I threw you off then chased you round and round.
We stalked through the bushes, great hunters of renown but all you really did was look more like a clown.
We leaped for butterflies but we never caught a one. It really didn't matter cause we did it all for fun.
You stopped to lick your fur but I wouldn't let you be. You showed your fangs and gave a hiss but that didn't work on me.
Now the day is winding down we tried to do it all. We romped and played and stirred it up, we really had a ball.
Now you are my pillow as I lay my head on you. It's nice to know I have a friend, one who's tried and true.
So now ends another day we will sleep until the dawn then rise and do it all again until that day is gone. |
Inner awareness Through the eyes of yesterday's dawn I see a memory long past and gone.
My mind is wandering through the passages of time. I catch a glimpse of it and my spirits climb.
It is a boundary I long to see. But I still have feelings that need to be free.
I wrestle with them for an eternity it seems, Running and fighting as in my wildest dreams.
I stop to ponder and am caught unaware. These feelings course through me but it's to much to bare.
I cry out in ecstasy and fall to the ground. I've crossed over the boundary and here's what I found.
A place of peace where justice reigns And life is quiet without all the pains.
A world of hope and love combined With caring and sharing and peace of mind.
Now I can say that I'm finally aware That my life has it's values and most people care. |
Expression For so very long now I've been looking to find A woman like you whose gentle and kind.
Failure and pain was all that I found Till I finally stopped looking at what was around.
And when I stopped looking and had given up hope You reached out and helped me up from the end of my rope.
You have so many qualities and talents of which you share. You are a wonderful woman who knows how to care.
My feelings for you burn bright as the sun. My heart and soul tell me you are the one.
Where are your feelings where it comes to me? Do you feel like I do? I'll just wait and see.
You have stolen my heart, it's yours to the end. I'll stay as long as you wish and still stay your friend.
If you want more then friendship then I'm ready to try And if more we become our friendship won't die.
There are things I would tell you but I'll wait till it's right. Maybe on a calm sunny day or a crisp star lit night.
I can't undo these feelings that sit here inside. You say you can see them, from you they can't hide.
I won't say the words that you know are true. So, just fill in the blanks… I _ _ _ _ _ _ _. |
"What if?" "What if" I told you that my heart belongs to you? Would you open your heart to me and have my dreams come true?
"What if" I told you that you make my life complete? Would you share the same with me, pulling victory from defeat?
"What if" I showed you more passion then ever you had seen? Would you give me the same my lady and come and be my queen?
"What if" I gazed upon you, desire burning in my eyes? Would your eyes burn equally or raise in feigned surprise?
"What if" I asked you to accept me for all I am and am not? Would you heartily agree or ponder deep in thought?
"What if" there was a chance for the two of us to succeed? Would you welcome the experience or decide to just concede?
"What if" All of this is true and you and I are fate? Would you embrace our destiny and be my one true mate?
"What if" I should offer you my soul for all my life? Would you entwine your soul with mine or cut me like a knife?
"What if" I said no "what if's"? My love for you is pure. I know your heart speaks the same of this I can be sure.
So please no more questions, let us just go with the heart. We shall come together forever and never shall we part. |
Beyond the fire Darkness falls upon the remains of a shattered heart. All seems so hopeless, there seems no place to start.
Love poured unending unto a chosen one. Feelings and emotions raged just like a nova'd sun.
Now gone in an instant is the one I gave my flame But I can't stop the fire. My life will never be the same.
All the turmoil of flooding passions with nowhere left to go. They are bottled up inside. They make me suffer so.
Which path to follow, which way can I turn? I can’t comprehend the lesson that I was meant to learn.
Is there life after love lost in the blinking of an eye? I can't see how to trust again or reason enough to try.
I could build walls to protect myself, let my heart and soul go numb. Be an oozing wound of sorrow, what a monster I'd become.
Trust would be gone. Enemies I would see all around. Happiness would be a faded memory, never to again be found.
So struggle forth I must. For I can't stand to die inside. I would slowly whither away and always want to hide.
The only way to ever heal my damaged heart and soul Is to walk through the pain and return to being whole.
For the only way to love truly is to give of all we are And chance the pain of failure for it will get us far.
To know love is the greatest gift that life can ever give. For if you never love, you never truly live. |
Gift of Gold Rainbow sparkles off of her scales of pure gold.As she flies through the heavens a sight to behold.
Such awesome majesty wings caressing the sky. Her form like a missile that was born to fly.
So beautiful she is this dragonesse I love. Soaring and gliding through the currents above.
She sets down, talons biting deep into the ground. Her wings folding gracefully without making a sound.
Arching her head upwards she lets loose with a roar. Oh, what a vision is this dragonesse I can’t help but adore.
Flames come pouring out from within deep in her breast. My passions for her make my heart swell in my chest.
Her body slowly changes morphing from wyrm to a queen. The human female she becomes is like none I have seen.
Eyes like blue jewels, and a long mane of gold hair. Her body so ripe, I cannot help but to stare.
She glides up to me and wraps me in a lover’s embrace. Her lips seeking mine, her hands caressing my face.
We lie down together with the world as our bed. Our bodies dancing to passion as our spirits are wed.
Our love for each other burns bright as the sun. We are bound by our hearts. Two now as one.
She lays her head upon my chest as she falls fast asleep. Trusting herself to my care. Her guard I shall keep.
I soon also surrender to sleep as I am fatigued and spent. Knowing this is a dream and when I awake it will have went.
I am back in my room as from my dream I awake My lady sleeping beside me I know my visions were fake.
As I again start to drift and to sleep slowly sink My lady does open one eye and knowingly wink. |
Beauty of a sunset The beauty of a sunset tis a splendor to behold... |
