Modern Amazons

Not anymore as man’s adversary,

but an alliance.

She who knows her own way,

and she who understands her man.

A woman of her own voice,

she is heard and respected.

Her decisions, all her own.

Good or nasty, her own act.

Confident to stand alone,

knowledge had made her wiser.

Devoted for her loved ones,

a warrior dwells within her.

She’s almost perfect for the modern world.

A new amazon,

independent of men.

Yet her heart, always a woman.

Donna by Johnny Dod

Poisoned Heart

The link weakens day by day,

as the sting gets worse.

Some sad bitterness to say,

in my heart it will hold.

The sweetness of your voice, lost,

gone with your silence.

My pleading gaze, you abhor,

as my own fate crumbles.

Slowly you kill me inside.

Little by little,

the promise of love dissolves,

as hate consumes it all.

Best Friends Forever

I can never leave you,

never will forget you.

Let us be friends my dear.

Amuse me with your grace.

I hate to lose your smile,

don’t want to miss your face.

Let’s be friends my sweetie.

Share with me your laughter.

Let me be your brother,

I’ll have you my sister.

Let us be friends my love.

We’ll have fun together.

Never will we be lovers.

I’ll love you just the same.

Let’s be friends forever.

Forever… till the end.

Priorities

Fallen

No Goodbyes

The sun sets in the East.
Never good bye my friend,
tomorrow we shall see.
The sun will rise again.

A lovely page has turned.
Only the beginning,
never the end my friend.
A new tale is written.

Never farewell my friend.
Not good bye but good day.
I will see you again,
in my heart you will stay.
