THE COST

Four heads in my heart
But my mind must be One
Four choices to make
For my soul to be won

Shall I choose to be lonely,
Forgotten or lost?
Or shall I choose closure
And reckon the cost
Of my learning, my venture,
As a life ship storm-tossed?

THE BATTLE OF DEMONS

Wizards and dragons I summon thee
come forth to fight by my side
for I bear the mark of the queen
and tis your duty to serve me.

Protect this land from the demons
breathe your fire into their souls
all who see the branding will know
they once intended our destruction.

Wizards and dragons rise from the depths
create for thyself uniqueness
a stature to stand out above all others
for on the battlefield the victor shall be obvious.

Upon the surrender of those who survive
form a circle of fire around them
let our people see fear in the eyes
of the ones who seek to destroy us.

Wizards and dragons unleash your power
stand by my side and fight for freedom
show our world that the real demons live within
and all is not always as it seems on the outside.

Those who fight against us and do not die
may be reformed and walk amongst us
but the brand of your fire will forever remind them
that destruction and evil shall not prevail.

Wizards and dragons unite as one
rise up from the land you are sworn to protect
for I bear the mark of the queen
and tis your duty to serve me.

PURPLE LOVE

Oh Dragon Woman, call me not
nay, do not beckon me
your image is a dream forgot
lost in a purple sea
You caused the Green and mouldy beast
to penetrate my brain
the twins, the Blues, have never ceased
to double up my pain
Too often came the angry Red
so uncontrolled was he
I fought him in our marriage bed
and on the purple sea
Upon the flute a purple tune
you played so skillfully
the Silvered beast, so like the moon
it's magic worked on me
Oh, how I miss those purple nights
and miss the purple sea
forever beasts of colored fright
will haunt my memory
So get thee from me, Dragon Girl
take thy flawed love with thee
leave me to drown in purple swirl
in purple memory

EVILS BIDDING

Darkness lurks about
Before the set of dawn
Evil slinks in shadows
Deceit to be won.

Chained to her vices
She bids come her way
Come to her in darkness
Allegiance you will pay.

The demons will control you
Dominate your life
Constricting your existence
Gasping with strife.

DRAGON LADY

lady, o lady, o lady

what are you, what do you represent
there you sit on your throne
one hand outstretched, beckoning
the other waiting but knowing

are you a vision of my past or my future
or some other outwardly persona
maybe a dream, an unwanted nightmare
I feel a compulsion to come to you

while you await my decision
I contemplate your passive stare
your chiseled features and painted lips
dare I taste their enticement

you wear your warriors crown with comfort
as befitting a queen and a commander
the mark of sovereignty on display
steel hard with spikes of sharp kindness(?)

what treasures lie under your vestment
that they are protected by leather
lashed by chains in intricate fashion
secure and fixed, the combination solvable

your throne belies the softness of your flesh,
the matriarchal trappings and sagacity
it's back carved and fashioned
festooned by the six evils of hell

horror - so intense, painful and repugnant
ugly, unpleasant and disagreeable
barbarism - acts of crudality and ignorance
unacceptable, incorrect and unapprovable

inequity - o the injustices and unfairness
wrong, biased and unmerciful
cruelty - the infliction of pain and punishment
sadistic, brutal and savage

fiendishness - the devils tool, diabolical
can you be that wicked personage
viciousness - are you immorality and vice run rampant
spiteful, violent and malicious

which world will I be welcomed into
the one promising fleshy rewards and safety
the other offering masochistic pleasure
is there a hint in the dark clouds about you

my answer is as elusive as your portraiture
should I respond to a whimsical illusion
do I even acknowledge your existence
O I see, a phantasmagoria, my artsy fantasy

begone with you, begone
wipe the canvas clean, make it pure again
back in the tubes dreary colors
cleanse the brushes

bad meaningless art
no message, not a thing of beauty
nothing to remember, poof
you're outta here repulsion

TO LIFE

frightened even terrified
battered beaten dazed
seeking revival
intent,. crazed

sparkling colors surround
mystical visions complete
spiritual dragons appear
dismal visions retreat

shadows of doubt dissipate
courage fulfills grabs the discouraged knife
triumph prevails, wisdom procured
carry on back to life

SORCERESS OF EVIL

On a dark stormy night when the wind did howl
Wizards and dragons awoke with a growl
Awoken from their sleep by the sorceress' powers
Risen to live in the dark stormy hours

The sorceress is queen of the dark
Her magic can wake the dead with a spark
Through crystal balls and cauldrons too
She casts her spells on me and you

Her powers are unique and strong
They are very forceful don't get me wrong
Don't ever underestimate the powers she has
For she is the woman you don't want to see mad

Her anger shows through lightening and thunder
How she got these powers, don't even wonder
Her followers the warlocks and and dragons two
Come forth to haunt me and you

But don't be scared, don't be afraid
For we can lock her up again
Goodness and Purity can prevail
If we stick together upon the right trail

We can't fight dirty we must be fair
But she must realize for her witchery we do not care
Her evilness must be overturned
And goodness flooded in to have it's turn

PASSIONS FIRE

Lured here by her sirens song
when days were short and nights were long
enticed by her ample breasts
her passions fire gave me no rest

She beckons me with a wave of her hand
my resistance  no match I am only a man
surrender to her offered treasures
seductive  blend of pain and pleasures

She rakes my back with her tiger  claws
each pass my rapture rises and falls
never experienced such  ecstasies
fulfilled all my fantasies

Bewitched by her  sorcery
enslaved now no longer free
her erotic seduction of me  complete
worship at this demonic queen's feet

Beast master's collar  around her neck
easily she keeps these demons in  check
squeaks and  squeals in voices  so shrill
silenced with a look that could  kill

Captive in her devilish  arms
bedazzled by her sensuous  charms
relinquish my soul as she pulls me near
bewitchingly whispers in my  ear

I can answer all of your prayers
make so real your worst  nightmares
give you all you will ever desire
consume you with my passions  fire

DEMONS & MINIONS

She is so beautiful
Look at her there
Enticing eyes
Sumptuous body luring you in telling you
It's ok no one will know
So a little story here
A little lie there
Or some gossip on the side
And don't forget greed and deception
Begging for attention also
All just to fulfill the beast within momentarily
Feel the lust burning deep within
It is ok she says
Let me quench the fire for you
Now you're mine she purrs
MMMMMMMMM doesn't that feel good
So chose you this day
Be it demons you wish to play with
And selfish desires to entice and fulfill
Or could it be sanity and peace of the
Righteous way that guides and drives you onward
Knowing full well all the while
Your soul IS the price you pay for either path you choose
For tomorrows coming judgment day.

COME TO ME

Come to me she beckons, luring as I sleep
Come to me my darling, you I want to keep

My pleasures are many, in sweetness you will lay
Forget all the others, in my dominion you will stay

I'll use and abuse you, your fantasy will come true
Excitement and a passion in everything we do

Live life for the moment, enjoy all you can
Don't worry about your loved ones they don't fit into our plan

Come to me my sweetness, your soul is all I want
You'll be with me forever, eternally I will taunt

You'll want

UNCHAINED MELODY
( Melody's her name )

Mom, I'd like to have you meet,
This girl I've met right down the street,
You say she looks a little loose?
To me it looks like spouse abuse.

See the leather and those chains?
She says she's lonely,but remains,
Wants me to take her hand and run'
And said that I'd have lots of fun.

You say don't trust those shifty eyes,
That she's tellin' me all kinds of lies,
Yes, I see the friends she keeps,
I do admit they give me creeps.

Aww, Ok Mom, I'll take her back,
To where I found her near the track,
But I'll keep this twenty dollar bill,
That ole Dad gave me, so's I'd be still!

LADY PENDRAGON

On the field of battle she stood with Merlin's bag in hand
Daring to believe even a dragon's attack could she stand
It was the flash of gold and fire that told her to prepare
Chanting loudly, even as she captured the dragon's breath, a prayer
Fire, soul and life was drawn forth into Merlin's magical bag
As death started to dim the golden dragon's glow she wanted to gag
It was the knowledge that bothered her, killing expectant mothers
But she had no choice the magnificent beast had to join the others
The magic needed mother's breath from every color of each dragon clan
That done it was Merlin who did apply it to his master plan
Mixed and brewed, the potion did he offer her in a boiling flagon
And as she drank he said here is to you the patriarch, Lady Pendragon
Your descendants will master the land and even set upon the throne
All because of what you did this day and the seeds you have sown
The memory flashed in Merlin's mind as Excaliber was again set free
And Arthur Pendragon, boy king was set adrift on the winds of history

DRAGON'S BREATH

Her eyes unfocused, mouth gone agape
She stands with dragon's breath fanning her nape
Calling for her powers, she holds them in her hand
While her other reaches forward, out across the land

The powers, they are only hers to use
Powers she dare not ever abuse
For she is a servant of the Earth
As she has been since her birth

Yet people look upon her and run in fear
For all they see are dragons standing near
"She is a monster!" they cry as they flee
Never once to wonder what truth may be

Hurt by such remarks she knew not what to do
How can you help others if they're afraid of you?
There is only one place she could see to turn
For the answers that she wished to learn

And so she stands, dragon's breath on her nape
Hair spread out like a billowing cape
And calls upon the powers born of Earth
To express to her the question's worth

ME

Chaos looms within me
Envy
Greed
Desire
Consuming all
in its way
A dark side to each of us
Shadows engulfing
raging within
Sin

I battle with myself
I know and open to it all
For to defeat this part of me
Confront
Accept
Forgive and hug myself
Move on
Control
Franchisement
ah.
Comes to me
When I don't want to see.
This mirror and reflection of me.

Thank God for the forgiveness bestowed.
Just have to accept.
Hold.
Be bold.

ALL IN FUN

With your beautiful black hair
You rule your throne without a care

Beauty does not lie in ones face
But in ones heart, that's the base

You reach out and demand everyone's friendship
While I see the blood that drips from your finger tip

You have all the men falling at your feet
But once they know you, they soon retreat

Your mind is very devious and so unkind
While you laugh and make fun of all mankind

In your make believe world you think you hurt no one
And if you did "Oh well hell, it's all in fun"?

TIME WILL TELL

She sits in the mountains hiding in the rocks
Aware of the symbols, she's deep in thought
Thinking of the seals the Bible refers
Concentrating intensely what they mean to her

The world is unbalanced throughout the land
One rides on the black beast with scales in his hand
Workers underpaid regardless of their toil
Especially when pawns for the control of the oil

Throughout the land there is no peace
Regardless of the press, the Cold War didn't cease
How long will God allow this to continue
"How long O Lord, holy and true"

The earth shakes more often as we are aware
"The sun becomes black as a sackcloth of hair
The eclipse of the moon shines as blood is red
Amazing to her these things the Bible has said

How much time is left 'no one will know'
But more and more "symbols" are beginning to show
Things keep showing across the sea and the land
"After His wrath, will I be able to stand?"

After one's death time will surely tell
Whether or not you spend eternity in hell
Take serious these symbols that count up to seven
Then perhaps you will end up in heaven
