THE CALL OF THE NIGHT

The night has its own voice you see; it calls you and pulls you, to an awaiting eternity, 
Just watch and listen when the moon is full and bright, when the whispers call you in the
 blackness of night,

You walk life’s path all alone it seems, twisted and tricky and full of your dreams,
Those dreams sometimes come and sometimes they pass, water on a window, water in a glass,

Life’s design is cruel and flawed, the laughing, the stabbing of an uncaring god,
There is no escape there is no where to flee, no matter where you go, the night will see,

Broken hearts and broken minds, all of how the darkness designs, 
It designs your life, designs your day, designs all of your wishing along life’s way,
You can beg, you can plead you can break down and cry, it all depends on what you decide,

But the night is listening in its morbid cave, not there to help you, not there to save, 
to lure you in, to lure you on, to make you believe that it’s all said and done,
The night will hunt you with its icy embrace, the wind at your window, the wind in your face,

As each day goes by and you walk life’s way, the light and darkness will come out and play, 
play with your mind, play with your heart, a play without soul in  their game you’re a part,

The call of the night is waiting for me, it’s waiting for you though we can not see, 
we can not run from what we can’t find; escape from what we know is inside, 

The night will look for us, its intended prey, it will track us and find us no matter the day, 
when the night comes and calls you, be prepared to fall, the night will envelop you, 
life’s plan after all...



WHEN EVENING FALLS    

While daylight fades, off in the distance I see,
A ghostly form on the ocean, moving closer to me,
As light turns to dark, as the sun dies away,
I see what I’ve waited for, all through the day,
With my lantern held high, I wait for you here,
On the waves close to shore, you approach ever near,
As the darkened skies mist and the seas gently spray,
I think back to a time far and away,
A time in the past when you called the seas home,
Sailing to distant lands, so far from your own,
As your castle awaited, your love came to see,
Sitting on the rocks in the eve she would be,
As you’d arrive from your journey, she would run to the sea,
In this place and this time, that love is now me,
Though dead long ago, the waves you still ride,
With the knowledge of our love tucked away deep inside,
Forever my love it will be this way,
Waiting for the evening to fall at the end of the day,
For an eternity you will sail and by the ocean I will be,
Loving you for all night, for all time, endlessly...



THE WALK   

Down I walk to the beach at night,
My thoughts all array and my dreams out of sight,
As my lantern flickers in the night wind that blows,
Lost in thought and out of touch I suppose,  
As I search for you in the fog and the rain,
Praying someday I will see you again,
The night I first saw you, the memory is so clear,
In the shadow of the lighthouse, I saw you pass near,  
I followed you to the beach, by the moon’s luminous glow,
And longed to find you and make you know,
So many times you had been in my dreams,
Haunting and lifelike or so it seems,  
Now with each storm that rises, I wait for you,
And sit on the beach until morning’s light hue,
And until the day we’ll be together as one,
My search will continue with the setting of each sun



DESOLATE SHORE 

Standing on the shore, waves all around,
I look out to sea, but can’t hear a sound,
A presence anew like a ghost from the past,
Lost and confused, I don’t think I’ll last,  
Waiting by day, crying by night,
Long flowing tears, blinding my sight,
Grief takes over my soul and my heart,
It seems an eternity that we’ve been apart,  
Since you left my days are all sorrow,
A never ending dream of no hope for the morrow,
I wander around, afraid and alone,
No light in my eyes where once it had shown,
The wind in my face, a candle’s soft glow,
When the rain pours down, to my window I’ll go,
Hoping to see you come up the shore,
An end to my suffering, to grieve no more,  
I’ll wait forever to see you my sweet,
I cherish your arrival with every heartbeat,
But after some time, reality will set in,
I remain brokenhearted, nowhere to begin,
You’re gone for all time, to come back to me no more,
I’ll walk for all time on this desolate shore...



SUFFER NO MORE   

Standing at the wall, full moon overhead,
No feelings of hope, my heart filled with dread,
A love that I had, can be mine no more,
Lost with my soul, I can’t take anymore,  
With nothing to live for, my tears flow like rain,
Alone in life, never to love again,
I had a true love, a love for only me,
Now that he’s gone, I live in agony,
Without my love, my life has no worth,
Nothing, no comfort, my time’s short on Earth,
I can’t go on, alone and so sad,
A part of me died when I lost what I had,  
Don’t worry my love, my heart remains true,
I’ll never love anyone, the way that I loved you,
In death I’ll find the peace I’ve been denied,
All the sadness of each tear I have cried,
No torture, no anguish is all I implore,
As light leaves my eyes, I’ll suffer no more...



THE FOG

Alone in the dark, my tears overflow,
Trying to hide emotions I vowed never to show,
Saddened with a heavy, broken heart,
My life is a puzzle but missing a part,  
My days are filled with broken dreams,
Of promises unfulfilled, or so it seems,
I’ve given up hope no where to turn,
Grief is a lesson we all must learn,
Days pass by, nights never stay,
Happiness lost somewhere, along the way,
When the rain comes down, I walk outside,
Eyes downcast from a love denied,  
I sit on a wall, a rose in my hand,
Time slips away like a pebble in the sand,
Life drifts away with the setting of the sun,
A season of sadness just begun,
As rain breaks through a blackened cloud,
Fog rolls in like a heavy shroud,
As I watch the light, go down to stay,
I realize the end is a short time away...
