Sunset brings the curtain down,
On a day I’ll soon forget,
The memories from years gone by,
Haven’t left me yet
Was I really happy then,
Or am I just sadder now?
Forcing smiles for all to see,
Gets me by somehow
If I could resurrect you here,
From ether and the mist,
Would you take the love I’ve hidden,
And walk away with it?
But answers aren’t forthcoming,
So I turn to walk inside,
This house that’s not a home,
And a family built on lies

LOVE BLOOMS
The leaves are turning,
My soul is burning,
For something that I thought I'd lost in the spring
Though the birds have left,
And for a time I'd wept,
The tears have dried and now my heart sings
And I dance with you,
Under the sun's setting hues,
I feel a childish laughter rising that I thought I'd lost
The bitterness has faded,
I no longer feel jaded,
The desire is gone to burn the bridges I'd crossed
So sit with me dear,
All we need is right here,
Our love will mingle with the leaves riding the wind
Let us look to the sky,
'tween smiles and sighs,
I just pray we're together when this season ends

DYSTOPIAN AMERIKA
I remember long ago,
When Amerika was free,
When cameras didn't follow,
As you meandered down the street
When presidents loved the country,
And we could still buy sweets,
When I wasn't thrown in jail,
For eating any kind of meat
I remember long ago,
When speech was really free,
When animals were animals,
We did not share equality
When reporters did reporting,
And showed objectivity,
They weren't on government payrolls,
And took a monthly fee
I remember long ago,
When we had a Bill of Rights,
Before interpretation cast,
Them in a different light
When half the population,
Could function without drugs,
When science wasn't pseudo,
And politicians were not thugs
I remember long ago,
And reminisce from time to time,
When religion wasn't outlawed,
And prayer not a crime
When simply being truthful,
Was not a cause for retribution,
When standing up for freedom,
Did not insure my execution
