Keep Fighting Hard

I'm all alone
Afraid of the dark
Please come to my room, I think it is a shark
Under the bed
It smells really bad
There's no place to go, you know I won't give in
No I won't give in.

Chorus:
Keep fighting hard
Cause you know I'll make it through, I'll make it through
As the guard
Cause you konw I'll squish it flat, squish it flat.
There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
There's no other way when you wake to the truth, so
Keep fighting hard
cause you know I'll make it through, I'll make it through

Now you're too late
You missed all the fun
Before it's too late, all the jobs must be done
Now when the doors close,
And you turn out the lights
A night light be me, i will give them a fright.
I'll give them a fright.
Yeah, yeah

Chorus

Hear me when I say, when I say you will flee
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Chorus

Keep fighting hard
Keep fighting hard

There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
There's no other way when you wake to the truth, so
Keep fighting hard
Cause you know I'll make it through, I'll make it through

Tree of Old

Planted black and white
Lasting through new inventions
Seven new spouts
As septuplets entering the world
Each growing its own way
Never walking down the street
As dog chasing cat

Renaissance

New, creative, funky
Sounds of life.
A palette of colors in a blender:
Trumpet. Saxophone. Clarinet.
Out of the shadows they rise:
Heart. Soul. Feeling.
Creativity running past the moon.
Big mama Lulu Belle
Sing with gravity.
Hear sounds of the streets.
Jazz.

First Spring

Fingers with leaves upon trees
Midmorning dew drops
Spring flowers blossom
Beaming lines of brightness
Sprinkling warmth.
Branch expand, buds arrive
Shades of pastels nestled
Easter baskets.

Fairytale

Volcanic crimson apple
Arsenic.
Eerie bristles caress with hatred
Round-faced pink jumpsuit
Running from Her:
Angelic necromancer
Filled with magic;
Sorcery.
Birds, critters, men.
Shelter round face
From fate.
Subtle wind, slipping through
Tree tops, leaves.
Sun nudges horizon
Wanting to succumb.
Blinded night, blinded knight.
Lead him to love,
To tenderness, but
Frozen existence
Dissolved with warm lips.

Consecrate

Silk ribbon
Piercing loud silence.
Joyful. Harmonic.
Sustain.

Douse waterfalls
Butterfly wings,
Floating golf balls,
And Spots with tails
Creating music.

Forest

Shaky birch tree limbs
Walking towards
Big black fingers nestled white
Clouds stare at me. Blinded
By the trapped sun.
Quiet like a blind, deserted forest,
In complete darkness.
Sitting down, focusing on flying
Notes in my head. Deep breath.
Gag! Too much perfume
Teacher of mine!
Nervousness creeps further,
Cotton fluff for a tongue
Play keys. Play notes. Play song.
No laughter? That's swell,
Keep playing, thinking
Almost through. Back to home
Again in the forest
A solid sycamore.

Favorite Poem

Woman Work

I've got the children to tend
The clothes to mend
The floor to mop
The food to shop
Then the chicken to fry
The baby to dry
I got company to feed
The garden to weed
I've got the shirts to press
The tots to dress
The cane to be cut
I gotta clean up this hut
Then see about the sick
And the cotton to pick.

Shine on me, sunshine
Rain on me, rain
Fall softly, dewdrops
And cool my brow again.

Storm, blow me from here
With your fiercest wind
Let me float across the sky
'Til I can rest again.

Fall gently, snowflakes
Cover me with white
Cold icy kisses and
Let me rest tonight.

Sun, rain, curving sky
Mountain, oceans, leaf and stone
Star shine, moon glow
You're all that I can call my own

So Much Depends Upon

so much depends
upon

the sound of
music

singing so
bright

with heart and soul
singers.

Forever

I make the next choice in life known,

Sitting as a rock on a sea of softness.

Precious substance; comely apparel

Given friend to friend.

Round as eternity

Never ending.

Reflection

Dreaming magic as time goes by

Dance tango great double date

Hollywood party Feel the vibe!

Heaven on earth tonight

Life of the party spotlight

Cool perfectly happy masquerade!

Elegant electric! Exotic effects

Royal celestial glowing paradise

Anticipation dual personalities uptown

Picture pinstripes steppin' out

Remember times like these

Hangin' with the gang

High school memories wondrous memories

Treasure crazy fun styles

Charming best times

Golden Age

Two Tone Poem

Half of me is light sunshine yellow,

Vivid vibes of very bright rays.
Fun as a new summer's day
Relaxed among the daffodils.
Glowing so bright you can't open your eyes,
And as zesty as a fresh-squeezed lemon.
The rest of me is deep ocean blue,
Deeper than a flowing river.
Calm as the ocean after a storm,
Waves slowly rolling through my fingertips.
Swish. Swish.
Two opposite ideas, all combined,

Making me.
