Whiskey Rose



Lively watered days before

Beaten down upon the floor


Expecting not to feel the pain


Angels dew had offed her brain



Lo the sting of drunkards tile

Oft to strike her ducking smile


Makes you think she'd opt to quit


Nope!, she wears a catchers mitt



Now with glass and glove in place

Tiles call, she'll catch her face


So pitch another down the bar


Games not overcome so far



See she stays within the bases

Dodging traps within the chases


Lifes a light touch on the toes


Playing catch 
with
 Whiskey Rose.

The Scotsman


Pushing giants from the bridges
Pulling angels from the air
Rent the harpy
Savaged wolves
Tamed the ursa bear
Fed my soul upon the wind
Worked the sallow field
Came to trumpets running
Casting hands with solid steel
Rough to certain diamonds
Diamond to the rough
Crossed the raging rivers
Drawing courage at the trough
Bless me back my brothers
Come and march in time
Youth be gone and coming
Swiftly garnered to the line
Coin to king and prophet
Bred to serve and finally rot
Proud to bear the standard
Holding true to heart a Scot

My Dragon

I have a dragon
Lest it is fed
My dragon sleeps
If fed my dragon rages
My dragon burns the fields
I know this dragons danger
Dragons may be overcome
My dragon is destruction
My dragon is a beauty
My dragon sleeps
Lest it is fed
I have a dragon

Leah Rose


Seventeen facets to my heart
Thousands to my soul
Loving catch I would Impart
This feelings fishing hole

Cast for passing barrier
Fast those fires rolled
Pooled in care filled carrier
Tamed the highest road

Wonders met and justified
Screaming to the sun
Awe filled shocked and terrified
Exaltation on the run

Purposed straight and ridgid
Clueless to all care
Worlds of hot to frigid
Propped by maiden fair

Endless pushing friction
Never feeling clutched
Not but I to free her
Inner space untouched

Legals best addiction
Desperations open door
Bow to phantom freedom
Godly gifted evermore

Praying aspiration
Never ruled o're to be rushed
Lonely inspiration
Racing sunset 'cross the dust
