Sing To Me of Heroes












Sing To Me of Heroes

The sun shines brightly through the blinds,
and there isn’t a cloud in the sky.
Cold news splashed in black and white
and all I can do is cry.

The crescent moon is dim tonight
and the stars look different today.
The world is spinning far too fast,
and I cannot find my way.

So sing to me of heroes,
diamond dogs and unseen scars…
Watch me as I close my eyes
and float amongst the stars…

We’re all living on borrowed time
and we’re clinging to our youth
while the end is drawing closer…
No whitewashing the truth.

They’re all waiting there with open arms,
Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King.
Freddie Mercury takes your hand and says
it’s time for you to sing…

So sing to me of heroes,
diamond dogs and unseen scars…
Watch me as I close my eyes
and float amongst the stars…

After having no words all day long, these words came to me tonight…straight from my heart.   Most of you who know me well know that David Bowie was one of my favorite artists of all time.  His work will live on in our hearts forever. RIP Ziggy Stardust…

Vixen With the Telltale Heart




















Vixen With the Telltale Heart

Some things are not as they appear,
Her staged moves prey upon your fears.
Her steely glance, a poison dart…
That vixen with the telltale heart.

Bar customers begin to creep
As guitar wails pull you in deep.
Priestly deception, player’s art….
That vixen with the telltale heart.

She cries a waterfall of blame,
Survival is a lonely game.
You’re just her trophy, play your part…
That vixen with the telltale heart.

Some things are not as they appear…
That vixen with the telltale heart.
