Drifting Away
He sits now gazes at nothing
His mind floats away like a peice of driftwood on the tides
A tear races down a worried cheek
The love that was once as certain as the sunset
Now seems to have lost it's way
Drifting alone on the ocean's swells
But no matter how high the waves
Or how strong the gust
It can never sink
So he kisses a finger,holds it high into the air
And lets the southern winds carry the kiss away
To land on lips, loved still to this day.

Slip Away
Waves wash the sand from under my feet
Slowly it pulls away and there I stand
Sometimes I feel you slipping away
Because of reasons I don't understand
I do feel my heart ripping in two
But there I stand,reaching out
Trying to hold on to you.
Death Of A Sailor
He lays there
With death at his side
He thinks of the times alone on the tides
He sees an image
Though not of the ocean or her treasures inside
But of a beautiful angel
Hair of auburn red, eyes glowing green
She reaches out to him
Together they fly
High above the deepest blue of mother ocean
She lets him fall
Slowly he drifts,his eyes locked onto hers,a never ending gaze
As he slips into the ocean's belly
Forever to be held by the one he loved.
THE EDGE
O Angels, O Angels
Come take this pain from me
From this hotel room so far away
My soul has been mortally wounded
O Angels, O Angels
Take me back to the places I love
Fly me back on wings of doves
Take me to the ocean to rest
O Angels, O Angels
My life has taken such twist
There were days so special
I dare not say
But now i wander in the darkness of my memories
O Angels, O Angels
Let me rest
Let me sleep
Let me awake to the memories
Let me live them one more day
