Island Escape

 A clear blue sky brings us some peace

This Island escape gives us release
From the daily grind of the routine at home
It’s time to relax ,explore then roam

We look from the shore for hidden lagoons
Where we can swim and be in perfect tune
I watch your long hair blowing freely
I’m lost in your complete angel beauty 

Take my hand my darling come on lets run

Upon the sand and enjoy the sun
The ocean’s breeze lifts like soft wings
A warm sense of calm with it she brings

Every single second you spend in my eyes
Gives me hope and my happiness cries
Paradise days adoring our time
Evenings dancing while the bright moon shines

All to soon we’ll return home in time
Where real life hits us ,getting back to the grind
No longer together on our island escape
But love time together, yeah make no mistake

Take my hand my darling come on lets run

Upon the sand and enjoy the sun
The ocean’s breeze lifts like soft wings
A warm sense of calm with it she brings

For us this wont be our first or the last
Escape to a future like holidays past
Life is full of strangers you casually meet

Made up of characters bitter and sweet

We'll treasure and remember our adventures together
And I'll store mine in my heart forever
Maybe someday we will meet up again 
Like De'ja vu and book the same plane

Take my hand my darling come on lets run

Upon the sand and enjoy the sun
The ocean’s breeze lifts like soft wings
A warm sense of calm with it she brings

All roads lead to Rome so they say
But for now let’s soak up this beautiful bay

Yeah lets enjoy this wonderful  special day

All roads lead to Rome "Are you going my way"?

My Shadow and Me

 Accept my resignation as I am getting bored

Playing second fiddle "tired of being ignored"

I used to have so many friends and socialized  a lot

Just like the fingers on one hand " I now count how many I got"

To you its not important but they mean something to me

Just like collecting honey when you are the only Bee

Buzzing around all over town not sharing anything

Playing Piano out of tune "No harmonies to sing"

Why oh why should It be with just you, my shadow and me

I love to talk. I love to walk and I just wanna be free

So give me your blessing, unlock the future for me

There is something better "I just need the key"

Accept my letter asking you to kindly let me go

I want to join the circle yeah I used to love it so

I cant breathe in this empty space, give me noise and the rat race

I'm tired of sharing the same dam room, yeah tired of singing the same old tune

To you its not important but it means so much to me

Just like collecting postage stamps when email is free

Sitting alone with no dam phone "No contacts to choose"

Strumming acoustic guitar with no one to sing the blues

Why oh why should It be with just you, my shadow and me

I love to talk. I love to walk and I just wanna be free

So give me your blessing, unlock the future for me

Their is something better "I just need the key"

 Accept my resignation as I am getting bored

Playing second fiddle "tired of being ignored"

I used to have so many friends and socialized  a lot

Just like the fingers on one hand " I now count how many I got"

Why oh why should It be with just you, my shadow and me

I love to talk. I love to walk and I just wanna be free

So give me your blessing, unlock the future for me

There is something better "I just need the key"

Accept my letter asking you to kindly let me go

I want to join the circle yeah I used to love it so

I cant breathe in this empty space, give me noise and the rat race

I'm tired of sharing the same dam room, yeah tired of singing the same old tune

Prince Of Hell

The prince of Hell came knocking

Late one summers night

Said he knew what I was lacking

And he could make it right

He told me he could give me any life I want

I could be infamous or even a debutant

He smiled a little as I began to wonder

A new way of life so this I was to ponder

Racing with the devil wait for the starting gun

Don't go to early and be the only one

Save your nervous energy until the toll of bell

Don't go pass the finish line and save your soul from Hell  

Why did he choose me ? What is his plan?

Am I to race with the devil or my race already ran?

Was my life really so undone?

That I would make a pact with the devil’s son!

All that it would cost me was my hungry soul

With his arm around me saying “let’s go for a stroll”

“Let me show you how your life could be

If you strike a deal and play along with me “

Racing with the devil wait for the starting gun

Don't go to early and be the only one

Save your nervous energy until the toll of bell

Don't go pass the finish line and save your soul from Hell  

He would show me how my life could roll

When he was in total control

Great wealth and happiness a fortune to behold

I stood and listened but felt so cold

While I was listening to all his terms

He seamed to stutter and re-affirm

He was not all he seemed to be

The Prince a sadist acting cruelly

Racing with the devil wait for the starting gun

Don't go to early and be the only one

Save your nervous energy until the toll of bell

Don't go pass the finish line and save your soul from Hell  

“Sign upon the dotted line my victim and friend

And all this can be yours “ Until your bitter end

Don’t hesitate coz ’"I can’t wait" and neither should you

"I have other souls secured “ In a hell fire queue

Not realizing an angel waited patiently

With his blessing he did awaken me

For all the wealth and glory promised

Living ten years seems such a risk

Racing with the devil wait for the starting gun

Don't go to early and be the only one

Save your nervous energy until the toll of bell

Don't go pass the finish line and save your soul from Hell  

I was tempted temporarily by the Prince of Darkness

I thought his deal truthful really quite harmless

But when the time came his true intentions revealed

I knew I couldn’t let my soul with fate forever sealed.

So I say to you, to be on your way

To take all the souls that you tricked today

You can’t buy my soul with your wicked lies

I’ll protect my soul until the day I die,!

Racing with the devil wait for the starting gun

Don't go to early and be the only one

Save your nervous energy until the toll of bell

Don't go pass the finish line and save your soul from Hell  

I then found myself in the brightest of light

For all of my failings my fears took flight

I’m so glad that I finally knew better

My failures and heartbreak vanquished forever

The prince of Hell came knocking

Late one summers night

Said he knew what I was lacking

And he could make it right

70s Rock

 

I can tune my guitar and turn up the amp

Or I can stay in bed make out like a tramp

The only difference "Don't get me wrong"

Is I scream louder to a hard rock song

Burning my fingers racing down that fret

Bending those strings as aint dead yet

Running around this huge sound stage

Screaming blue murder in a rocking rage

Gonna kick some Harris just before I go

I wanna shake the House down with Rock n Roll

I aint worried about making a noise

In my seventies so just rejoice

Should have been the hard rock queen

Playing the blues and being obscene

Now I'm old and my playing's done

Wishing I were still twenty one

Its funny how I just don't care

Not staying home to wash my hair

I wanna get out stomp and shout

And tell the world what I'm all about

Gonna kick some Harris just before I go

I wanna shake the House down with Rock n Roll

I aint worried about making a noise

In my seventies so just rejoice

Rocking Pneumonia and all those ills

Let the crowd know of how that feels

My bones creek with every bend

I'm gonna Rock to the very end

I might get dementia and forget about you

I might lose my mind and forget the blues

But one things for sure before I go

I'm gonna scream and shout out for Rock n Roll

Gonna kick some Harris just before I go

I wanna shake the House down with Rock n Roll

I aint worried about making a noise

My neighbors can move" They have that choice"

Rocking out at 70

Rocking out yeah play with Me

Wont be long till they cremate 

This Rocking Queen with the high heart rate

Rocking out yeah play with me

Rocking out at seventy

Yeah Rocking out at seventy

Yeah Rocking out yeah play with Me

Enjoying The Climb

 I have just been inspired by listening to you

The summit you reached while enjoying the view

Its not reaching the peak that rewards your time

Its more the moment and enjoying the climb

That's such a cool reason to scale and try

To climb that rock and embrace the sky

The second you realize the quest is your call

Is the moment you relax and conquer that wall

Up up up and up and away,

Spiritual wisdom will lighten your way

Keep to the paths you know to be true

Look for the folds and let them hold you

The view from your dream was so surreal

Your belief in your skill not the big deal

Surrounding your self with family and friends

One step at a time with love you defend

Breath in the air above the low cloud

Stop to look and acknowledge your crowd

Think for one minute while on your own

Sample the strength of granite and stone

Up up up and up and away,

Spiritual wisdom will lighten your way

Keep to the paths you know to be true

Look for the folds and let them hold you

You are the reason we follow your climb

We breath every heart beat time after time

Onto the next venture but lets not forget

Your future is out there your path is well set

So march to the sound of your searching soul

But remember to always like a boulder roll

Sing out to your loved ones family and friends

Keep an eye out for wisdom as you descend

Up up up and up and away,

Spiritual wisdom will lighten your way

Keep to the paths you know to be true

Look for the folds and let them hold you

I have just been inspired by listening to you

The summit you reached while enjoying the view

Its not reaching the peak that rewards your time

Its more the moment and enjoying the climb

Reading House reprise

In the bookshop where I now stand

Among shelves immensely grand

Large volumes seem so curious

Leather bound and so luxurious

I turn a page as quiet as a mouse

This is a special reading house

Teak shelves laden with many books

With the odd little space like a fairy nook

From outside peaking in

Resembles a palace for gin

A spit and sawdust tiny shop

Once inside a circus big top

Hush hushed as people reed

Flick the pages with haste less speed

Hush hush keep the noise down

Shhhhhhhh Shhhhhh don't make a sound

The Librarian says to help myself

Then offers a step for the highest shelves

Not knowing where to look or start

The Old man says to follow my heart

Old curiosities some quite strange

No alphabet order of any range

Fact or fiction so many to choose

I sneeze from dust so please excuse

I turn a page as quiet as a mouse

This is a special reading house

Teak shelves laden with many books

With the odd little space like a fairy nook

Such a weird and wonderful place

I stare,  pause and turn to face

Paper and hard backs in many colors

One stands out among the others

 

My fingers fumble to open it

The pages rustle from where it sits

Suddenly the pages burst open wide

A creature steps out from inside

Hush hushed as people reed

Flick the pages with haste less speed

Hush hush keep the noise down

Shhhhhhhh Shhhhhh don't make a sound

The keeper hearing a commotion

Be quiet ! his hand jesting motion

The creature was seeking to play chess

What was his next move? " I could only guess"

How was this possible? I ask myself

Such weird strange books upon the shelf

I left the book closed within its cover

And sort above it for another

I turn a page as quiet as a mouse

This is a special reading house

Teak shelves laden with many books

With the odd little space like a fairy nook

I could not again believe my eyes

When pulling one forward to my surprise

This volume grew arms on either side

And started singing lullaby's

I stood amazed, really confused

Was I right to think a little construed

To stare at these books with amazing wonder

What magic spell could I be under?

I noticed that the Book Store Keeper

Was made from Willow Wood and cedar

My memory has lapsed since arriving here

Am I in a trance "Its not quite clear"

Hush hushed as people reed

Flick the pages with haste less speed

Hush hush keep the noise down

Shhhhhhhh Shhhhhh don't make a sound

Was a Magic spell somehow cast

I cant remember my recent past

I must hurry now and find the door

And make my way from this book store

So grand was it but getting late

So return I will another date.

Hush Hush now as I take my leave

Hush Hush now more haste less speed

Turn a page as quiet as a mouse

This is a Special Reading House

Shhhhhhhhhhhh Shhhhhhhhhh Shhhhhhhh Shhhhhhhh
