My Heart Residing in Thy Chest

For break it shall and so it must
My heart residing in thy chest
When placed in care of lover's trust
For break it shall and so it must
Passion's ashes returned to dust
This lonely heart is laid to rest
For break it shall and so it must
My heart residing in thy chest

Slumbering Eyes

Slumbering eyes drift off to dream
Transported to a world unseen
Where all is not as it may seem
Slumbering eyes drift off to dream
Rivers run with marshmellow cream
Fields of candy from which to glean
Slumbering eyes drift off to dream
Transported to a world unseen

Her Beauty Like the Night hath Flown

Her beauty like the night hath flown
As full moon descendeth from sight
Such beauty on her face hath shone
Her beauty like the night hath flown
Called away, quietly to moan
Succumbing thus, to nature's plight
Her beauty like the night hath flown
As full moon descendeth from sight

Writ of the Sage

His voice calling to those who hear
Echoes whispered upon his page
E'er beckoning those to draw near
His voice calling to those who hear
Gift thus given from the seer
Words of wisdom, writ of the sage
His voice calling to those who hear
Echoes whispered upon his page

Quaint Revelry

I wish for thee quaint revelry
Quite like the night I spent with thee
In shadows of thy jealousy
I wish for thee quaint revelry
Engaging in thy devilry
Thy mystery was shown to me
I wish for thee quaint revelry
Quite like the night I spent with thee

Wild Blue Yonder

Up into the wild blue yonder
Soaring above this earthly plain
Where her soul would often wander
Up into the wild blue yonder
Many years spent there to ponder
She found herself to be sustained
Up into the wild blue yonder
Soaring above this earthly plain

On to Keep

For go I shall and on to keep
There are those who are waiting still
At my departing do not weep
For go I shall and on to keep
Angels waiting, ready to reap
As I ascend His holy hill
For go I shall and on to keep
There are those who are waiting still

Dear, Forget Me Not

He whispered, "Dear, forget me not".
Likely knowing he'd not return.
Do not forget the love we've wrought
He whispered, "Dear, forget me not".
"Take these petals, for you I've sought.
My heart for you shall always yearn."
He whispered, "Dear, forget me not".
Likely knowing he'd not return.

The River Beckons Me; Draw Near

The river beckons me; draw near,
ever wishing to kiss my face.
Off'ring to wipe away my tears,
the river beckons me; draw near.
Seductive voice to calm my fears;
to disappear without a trace.
The river beckons me; draw near,
ever wishing to kiss my face.

Silent Tears

In distant years, if e'er we meet
'Tis you I'll greet with silent tears
I'll count them dear which taste defeat
In distant years, if e'er we meet
Quieted fears of calm replete
Relief so sweet as healing nears
In distant years, if e'er we meet
'Tis you I'll greet with silent tears

Dance of the Dead and Dying

For she shall come and we must dance
The dance of the dead and dying
With fondness of a lover's glance
For she shall come and we must dance
Death's spirit to lead circumstance
I to follow where she's flying
For she shall come and we must dance
The dance of the dead and dying

My Lady

My soul rests in that star above
My lady who has flown away
To her I gave my life and love
My soul rests in that star above
She's flown on wings of turtle dove
I'll go to meet her in that day
My soul rests in that star above
My lady who has flown away
