THE MEANING OF LIFE . The lord givith and the lord taketh away And teach me something along the way A glimmer of hope then a spark of despair Challenging me to give in to say I don't care Evoke a nightmare and get lost in the dream Where love, laughter and reality are not what they seem But now awake I defeat the dark of night With no room to run and no time for flight I am the enemy I must face and fight Believe in me and feel my might For now the time is truly right Stand in my shoes and see what I've seen It's just an excuse for what life can't mean Never to be all I can be lost somewhere inside of me Shadows fade in the light of this new reality For in my own hands lie the direction of my destine Bear1Mage© SHARE . I let not my woes or worries drag down my empty heart Though of my life missing, you are no longer a part The choice you made, that did spirit you very far away Yet a need you hold for me, to hear what words have I to say Touch my heart, a knife your words and the incision they will make Care you not for me, the pain that might crest upon their wake Dare I let you pluck the strings on which my emotions are strung To be so easily in disregard, then to the side have them flung Be I a rag doll for your pleasure, void of any idea or spine Thus strike me down, lest I do contemplate any be it of mine Know thee not that I ever wear thy brand so seared upon my heart So be it short of death or transplant ever are we apart A worried brow I wear, for when thou does call me friend For tightly held at your arm's length, thus shall you have me bend Dissect and gather the best of me, share not with me my needs Lest I satisfy your wishes, will all be forgotten of my sacrificial deeds Bear1Mage© ALIEN SOUL . I have reached out with my mind Past countless galaxies of all kind I have tried to swim the river of time The mountain of knowledge I tried to climbed My mind seeks the answers unknown To long forgotten questions unasked For years I alone fought the lies Destiny is kind for I opened my eyes To this desolate planet dark as coal Where boldly stands another searching soul Her mind contains knowledge that remains untold Because she is confused by the answers it holds Bear1Mage© NIGHT CROSSINGS . As the light of day surrenders to the dark of night An eerie silence settles separating night from day The shadows thicken into a pool of pitch-blackness And the beast in all men roams forth Most are lost in a closed eye state of slumber Others are trapped in the horror of self-made nightmare But I float on the waves that mark the night's wind For I am made buoyant by an emotional mind molding sound It bathes me and guides my nights crossings Each trip is unique though the response of a single source It is this source of sound I wish to praise For it guarantees my safety from the shores of night And promises tomorrow will be a better day It's the pounding of my heart that shows the way Bear1Mage© PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE . It's a controversial political stand Claming to know the answer for all the land Spending a fortune to teach the country your name Then on your opponent all the problems you blame Boasting of the improvements you'll make in every home The truth is no changes can be made by you alone Between the special interest groups your loyalties are torn You hold out to profit more from the rights of the unborn To balance the budget all of congress is prime Easily done if all politicians donated their time But that would benefit the country whole So instead we will continue to pay the toll You go ahead run for office to be in command And for better leadership the rest of us will demand Bear1Mage© OLYMPIC CHALLENGE . Extraordinary man a true athlete Born with a driving need to compete Dedicated to building muscle and bone Working for chiseled features of stone To run faster or jump higher than any other man To throw farther or lift heavier than anyone can Separate his mind from the physical mass So every athletic challenge he can pass Push himself beyond the wall of pain So seconds or inches to his limits he can gain Sweat a river and move a mountain of steel To meet the challenge of physical and mental will Bear1Mage© THE GRADUATE . Congratulations graduate our prayers are with you For life's yet to decide what you are to do Alas yesterday's child is now tomorrow's hope And with the futures problems you must cope A part of the problem or a solution you stand The decision firmly rest solely in your hand Will wisdom and insight lead on to a better day Or will passion and lust lead you astray A builder of monuments may you yet be Or broadcast dreams the whole world will see Place a foot on previously untouched soil Or even gamble your life away on games by Hoyle Whatever the choice it is still up to you Just remember the rest of us are concerned to So congratulations and good luck what ever you do Now you know why our prayers are with you Bear1Mage© TODAY TOMORROW . Setting sun the day is done, my lonely heart torn apart Darkened skies fill my eyes and I become so entwine In the mystical river of time Man seeks out the forbidden fruit Corrupt idea's will he plunder and loot With devastation the world he will reap Condemned souls he will master and keep Make a mold to change our shape Our virgin minds he shall rape He has been consumed in life And shall die at the point of his own knife The price we pay to die in disgrace Forgive he the human race He tried to reach out a helping hand But he misused what he could not understand So progress ended in massive destruction Only simple conclusions his ideas of construction Wishes of miracles before his eyes False hope hide the lies Rising sun a new day has began He will do it today I know he can Bear1Mage© WOMAN . Image of woman a mystery you be For you're more than the beauty people see The mighty power you have within Lies unused as if it were sin At distance across you shadows grow But with me you open up and begin to glow You don't hide but you're not all you can be Your not a woman in a mans world to me The person you are needs to be shared Bottle your spirit and sell it if I dared Maybe if like you we all felt as strong Together we could right all that's wrong But now you hold yourself back Suffering for the understanding others lack And the tears that fall from your eyes Is a lesson in coping with life's lies Don't change for you are as you should be Just stand proud for all to see Bear1Mage© MOONLIGHT'S PRESENCE . When full she is a beacon in the night And at half she is yet a guiding light When eclipsed she is a whole in the sky A blindness inflicted on the poet's eye For it truly is the Moonlight's Presence That inflames romances very essences She turns the darkness of night into day Blending black and white for shades of gray As love is the merging of woman and man This is how the moon and love all began Pulls hard does she at the hearts of us all Having no choice we will answer her call A shining orb to light the pathway to love A symbol to show our history thereof Bear1Mage© REBEL'S END . I never thought my time would run out Never felt the need to yell and shout But the walls kept moving in on me Was it the end or the start of my destiny I was told life had a role for me to play But in the game of life I couldn't stay I dared to color outside the lines I couldn't live by the rules life defines I set new rules and played my own game So it was that to me my own end came Looking back on it what more can I say But a rebel would have it no other way Bear1Mage© TRIBUTE TO DAD . Will I ever be able to lay me down to sleep Knowing the pain inside I am forced to keep As a child to my father I could always turn Countless lessons from him did I learn Now grown and lost I know not where I stand With a child of my own who is out of hand How did he keep me from going wrong I am not weak but dad seemed so strong Will I fight a losing battle at the cost of a son Is it a war that alone by me can never be won Where to turn when all seems to make my son mad I lift the phone and make the call and say hello dad Bear1Mage© INSIDE A POETS MIND . Balanced on the hands of time I struggled with my thoughts looking for a rhyme Deep wisdom of philosophers past In their enlightenment I tried to bask Then the romantic classics came to mind But words on statues and ruins I could not find So to the mysteries of myth and magic I did turn Where Stonehenge and druids in my mind did burn But up in smoke my thoughts faded from view I wonder now what kind of poem I should do Maybe to space and the last frontier I should go There are things out there that man will never know Or should I write on the things that I know the best Friends, fights and feelings and throw out the rest So many things to write about in here can I find At play on the playground inside of my mind Bear1Mage© WALKED THE CROOKED PATH . These things of life and truth must I tell you my child There are things you will find that will leave you beguiled Like the checkered path to life is really but a dusty road And knowledge is its key and treasure to be bestowed So take the hand of wisdom and walk the crooked path And avoid you the shame and pain of ignorance's wrath All are judged in life but better to be it by what you know Than flash and glamour of any wild deed you might show Be thee aware of any who may claim to be an open book Unread pages within them hides from you where to look The harder you work and the more of yourself you give out The more is returned and that is what learning is all about Wisdom is not an answer that's knowledge already defined Wisdom is the question for they only live within our mind We live we learn we hope we pray and we try to pass it on And maybe the spark of enlightenment my child will dawn Bear1Mage© TRUTH IS A TEAR . Truth is a tear for it is the same from all sides And when shed, our face, most of us hides Given in sorrow we wish not to share its release To cry in surprise then they are an act of peace Laughter with tears a tribute to pleasure renowned But to often alone shedding our tears are we found We cry at movies, sad songs, an emotional discord But to cry all alone, is it the tears they wish to hoard Come out from hiding for everyone to see if you dare And give up a tear to show the world that you still care Need not it be so that so many feel this despair Together it is that this cross we all must bear For depressing it is to think yourself all alone But together in tears we will all feel at home Bear1Mage© WINDOW IN MY MIND . While searching for a misplaced thought I could not find I found myself at a strange unopened window in my mind Like through the looking glass this window to another land Reflecting an image of savagery too cruel for me to stand Fear I now this new found darkness hiding inside of me Safely locked away yet I know not what will act as key Then open the window in my mind to free the savage beast Not knowing the out come to me should it ever be released Thin this pane of mental glass restraining the anger and rage Now and forever must I keep this thought in its mental cage But would I be more than I am should it ever be incorporated Trapped inside I will never know maybe it should be liberated Just think of all the possibilities that might be awaiting me The power the passion the pleasures that I have yet to see How could I have ever thought myself a beast locked within When the monster was holding me trapped but never again Bear1Mage© MENTAL NEEDS . As every blade of grass turned from the sun to gaze at me The look of disdain on their green faces is all that I can see Dare I {Mow the grass} fearing that one of them will turn narc Oh {Mary Jane} my love how I need a jolt of your electric spark {Mother's little helper} wouldn't let me reach up and touch the sun So maybe if I {Fly Mexican airlines} I can still get high time fun I'm not wasted enough I can still hear the sound of the big artillery Maybe I should mix my pharmaceuticals with the local distillery Anything to take these thoughts, these sights out of my head Anything to help me forget the memories and faces of the dead Heroic valor shown and it is said they went out in a blaze of glory But seeing them burned to ash form napalm is a different story Bennie, ludes, acid or LSD, morphine, mushrooms, reefer or weeds Oh how a good {thoroughbred} could answer all my mental needs Bear1Mage© Mow the grass-- to smoke marijuana
DREAM MISTRESS . Gather round all thee to hear the tale I have to tell Of lady Kristin and life's twists and turns to her befell Trapped in sunlight she found her reflection reversed And discovered a dream mistress daylight had coerced Sunset and moonrise delivers her from mischief's grip For a dream mistress though daylight must often slip A rider of nightmares and destroyer of bad dreams Nighttime soldier conqueror of darkness she seems Made so by life's journeys she traveled the hard road And to her insight and understanding was bestowed She has defeated the darkness within her own mind Then broke the bonds it used to have her confined Free of thought a seeker of light at nighttime's end Now a poet who through words shall she transcend Bear1Mage© SCALES OF DESTINY . Bathed in the light of my own conscious thought That is where my battle for good and evil will be fought The beast that roams the boundaries of the dark Will challenge me in hopes of smothering my faiths spark Then innocence would no longer have meaning or reason No definition of youth, no changing of the season But by force of will shall I master all that I will ever be And once again balance the scales of destiny As did the lion lay with the lamb, good and evil living hand in hand So too can I except my faults and still proudly stand Bear1Mage© JOURNEYS END Through the vastness of space lies our destination
LIVING IN DENIAL Its not often that I have reason to just smile
POWER GONE WRONG His straining eyes look deep into the mist
of early morn
A THOUGHT A crackling bolt of energy, pristine and pure
CLOSET PSYCHIATRIST In the center of the room did he boldly stand
GATEWAY TO DREAMS At the boundary of darkness where day meets
night
HYPNOTIZED On a gold chain it hangs, suspended between
heaven and hell
JUDGEMENT In conversation on a dark and dismal wintry
night
