Angel of Secrets

Tell me your secrets she said with a smile

And I will sit with you and rest for a while

The love she released could light up the stars

As each precious second I counted as ours

The cells in my body pulsated with joy

As all of my secrets I did slowly deploy

Her smile grew much broader until I could see

She liked what I thought with relish and glee

I hope they all happen was all she would say

Then in that short second she went on her way

I sat there quite silent with nothing in play

As the Angel of Secrets she just flew away.

Angel of Forgiveness

Please forgive me

I was dreaming

I did not see you there

Standing oh so quiet

As I wrestled with my cares

Sometimes they overwhelm me

And clutter up my mind

While searching for some answers

To questions I’ve designed

I know if I just ask you

You’ll take away my fears

The ones that gather around me

And to my eyes bring tears

Your thoughts they are so gentle

Just like a soothing hand

I should have been more open

For I knew you’d understand

For there’s nothing you can’t cope with

Or haven’t seen before

My Angel of forgiveness

My friend forever more

AN ONION

MY LIFE IS LIKE AN ONION

EACH SKIN A DIFFERENT TIME

NO MATTER HOW YOU PEEL IT

IT’S BOUND TO MAKE YOU CRY

EACH LAYER HOLDS ITS SECRETS

OF TASKS I MUST PERFORM

EACH TIME THAT I INCARNATE

ANOTHER SKIN IS SHORN

YOU THINK EACH SKIN IS SIMILAR

THAT NOTHINGS REALLY CHANGED

BUT I’VE JUST LEARN’T A LESSON

THAT’S WHY I’VE REARRANGED

MY SKIN GOES ON FOREVER

AS IF IT MUST PROTECT

THIS SOUL THAT’S IN THE MIDDLE

AS IT LIVES OUT ALL ITS QUESTS
