She calls to him.
Her magnetic force makes him weak.
The urge is so powerful he can’t turn away.
Every idle thought is reserved for her.
Every sacrifice to win her.
He speaks the lies knowing the truth.
Who can save him?
I want to help but I can’t.
I wish I could show him how to dismiss her from his mind.
The world is out there waiting for him.
But first he must leave her behind.
She keeps him from his son.
He sacrifices the miracle for the desire.
He can’t undo what’s been done.
From this mistress I wish he would tire.
And be the father his son could admire.

Can I be your muse
Can I be your inspiration
If only I could hide away unnoticed
I would feed your spirit and entertain your soul.
Would it be worth all the sacrifices
Could it be like the dreams that play in my mind
The ones that tantalize my being
Can I suspend time and feel the heat
Would it be worth the burn
Would it tattoo my soul
This intense desire is so impure
Yet, it lurks where no one sees.
Can I be your muse
Can I be your inspiration

The alarm goes off
I hit the snooze
The news is on
And it’s not good
I want to go back into my slumber.
I want to dream of a place like no other
A place where dreams float upon the air
Where you can reach high and take your pick
A place where peace, love and compassion reign
Where the innocence of our children is not at risk
A place where they can grow strong and stable
Where never a harsh word could be spoken.
Or a clenched fist raised
A place where war has no meaning
A place where men and women don’t have to
die to be free
A place where tears turn to laughter
A place where the sense of loss becomes
a little less heavy
Until that exists in the world
I’ll continue to dream of
a place like no other.
