Every single note was a song in itself
And every little breath was a melody
And I, a painful ripping squeal
That bellowed from inside of me
Her crimson lips had softly smiled
As she sang angelically
But no more than a dissonant chord
Was the best that I could be
Oh, angel of the nightly song!
How wrapped in you I have become!
How can I go, and sing alone
Shouting like a falling drum
I can't forget your heavenly voice
That pierced the ever-present noise
Through sky and the pervasive smog
To me, whom naught but death employs.
Her mom died when she was young…and though she survived the ordeal
she still misses her when she remembers her…
some wounds will never heal.
She remembers how her mom loved pelicans…how they soared on the breeze like a kite…
How she loved all kinds of pelicans…
but her favorite ones were white.
And when she walks along the surf…when the sea is tranquil and calm…
if a white pelican soars overhead…
it reminds her of her mom.
When she hears the swoosh of the pelican's wings…and sees the smile on its beak…
she instinctively returns a smile
as a tear rolls down her cheek.
Then came the day for her to marry…her mom now years out of reach…
she decided to have the ceremony…
in the sand…
upon the beach.
Halfway through the service…about the time she took his hand
A flock of pelicans flew overhead…
then landed on the sand.
And she again remembered how her mom loved pelicans…
how they soar on the breeze like a kite…
And she had to stop and catch her breath…
because all these pelicans…
were white.
It was a beautiful moment…the end of a beautiful day
and when the ceremony was over…
all the pelicans flew away.
All the pelicans that is but one…who lingered there a while…
whose beak she swears to this day…
was formed into a smile…
She never thought of pelicans as angels…until her wedding night
but now her favorite angel…
is a pelican…
painted white.
Sing to me sweet angel
A child's lullaby
As I lay my head upon your lap
And dream of days gone forever
Can it be
Do I espy
A scintillating smile
Behind sweetly spoken lies
It's no surprise
I idolize
The pools of lull
Within your eyes
Dream-Maker
Sleep dealer
Be my fix for
You're my favorite drug
Why do angels
Have wings
Cause in the sky
They fleet
But
When I saw you walking
Now I wonder
Do they have feet
I never believed in Angels
I always told myself it's just fiction
Nothing that really exists in any way
But then I found you
The most beautiful girl
And that's when I knew
That Angels do exist
You have a smile of an angel
You have the heart of an angel
My love for you will always be
I will always stand by yourself
Hoping that you will always be with me
No matter what happens
I will always love you
And you will forever be in my heart
You are my Angel from above
Beloved, where are you leading me
And why are you trying to entice me
To experience the fruits of the Earth?
How much longer shall our souls
Twist and turn upon this rocky path
Before we can dance the dance divine?
You look at me with your soul’s eyes
And all I see is the flame in your heart;
As your lips meet mine, the fire consumes me
As it snakes through my veins
Igniting the flame in my own heart.
But I dare not let it stay there
Lest you learn the secrets that I hold.
We are from different worlds
But we were drawn together
By an inner force that we could not deny.
My freedom has gone
I stayed here too long!
My body is bound by the chains of materiality
And now I cannot escape the Spirit of Love
As he takes deadly aim.
I shudder as I feel the arrow pierce my heart
But with soft fingers, my beloved removes it
And heals the wound with his kisses.
And as the vibrations throb through my body
He places a lock upon the chains.
Am I to be the eternal prisoner of Love?
A slave to the ecstasy running through my body?
Halt for a moment, my love.
My heart is weary, let me rest.
Let me find the key to unlock these chains.
As my love sleeps, I probe his mind
And discover the key hidden in a sacred centre.
At last I can unfold my wings!
Because freed of theses chains
I remember who I am.
You have a choice, Beloved.
Will you ascend with me to the stars
And let me help you remember your heavenly home?
Or are you going to stay here on earth
And forever tread the wheel of rebirth?

A thousand tears
Is all I cry
I'm not running away from my fears
I'm not beliving another lie
My heartbeat no one hears
You told me she's gone for good
She no longer has your heart
You said you'd forget her completely if you could
But the healing has just begun to start
You said you'd leave I believe that you would
So it may take a little while
To forget her all the way
Just remember you have me
And that to your face will bring a smile
I'm going no where I'm here to forever stay
Just set your feelings for her free
A thousand tears
Is all I cry
I'm not running away from my fears
I'm not believing another lie
It's time to wipe away my tears

If I were an angel
I'd sit down and cry
Because I feel so helpless
I can't do anything as I watch the world die
I can't seem to figure a way to clean up the mess
All I can do is linger and wait
Wait here above the clouds in the sky
Once again a life is taken because of hate
As I caress my wings I sit and begin to sigh
Today no one can help not even fate
I must go now
I better hurry before I am late
So many souls not enough time to do it all
I don't know how
Greeting each man woman and child at the golden gate
Each waiting for me to to do my name call
There are too many rushing to get in
I ask them to line up against the cloud wall
I then tell them
This isn't a competition no ones going to win
So please walk slow
Your turn wil come around
Even though in the back of my mind
I know the line will only begin to grow
So please wait and be kind
People stand there sad as can be
Walking without making a sound
Their loved ones they no longer can see
But if they look into thier heart
The loved ones can be found
They truely never did part
The pain they felt is free
If I were an angel I would find a way
To put this evil vibe in the world to rest
Every night I pray for that very day
But every day seems to be a test
I don't know what to do or say
All I can do is my best
Greet each person with respect
Wrap my wings around them and hold on tight
I will guard them from neglect
I will try to make things right
I'm their angel now
I will protect them the best that I can
Living in heaven I will show them how
Right next to thier side
I will forever stand
The truth to them I will never hide

When I feel down and lost
And can't find my way in the dark
All you have to do is smile
And that brightens evrything
So as your presence is around
I pray you stay with me for a very long while
To my heart a joy you always bring
When there is a storm over my head
You make the sun shine
And my soul no longer feels like lead
Now I am feeling alot better because you're mine
You take away the pain
And some how let me know everything is okay
I then have a better day
And every time happiness you bring
You are my angel by my side
You are always there when I need you
You answer all my prayers
You always guide me through
When I have a tough situation
You help me decide
You some how always keep my skies blue
God sent you to me for a reason
To make sure I make it through life
Make sure I survive
He asks you to guide me through each season
You help me stay alive
In myself and my duties
You help me believe in
With every part of my life
With your big brown eyes
They make me glad you're with me
God had sent you from the heavens skies
You've changed the way I use to be
Even though I have my days
I thank the lord above
For not taking you away from me
So this is why our safety I put in Gods hands
To protect thee
And in return he sends his love
To guide us in a better direction a better way
And for him by our side he'll always stand
Whenever we hear a church bell ringing
We'll know you are there
To protect us from harm
We hear your precious singing
We know you care
Because of you my little girl is my lucky charm
And for that reason You both will always be
My angel by my side
