      Deception

      Beware, the snake that never sleeps,

      Lurking, cautiously, he is waiting,

      Within the grass temptation creeps,

      Beware, creatures that prowl the night,

      Marking time to absorb fresh blood,

      Unbroken his sinful appetite,

      Picking the flowers not yet in bud,

      Wandering unaware of life and the cruelness,

      Resting unsure, the still of darkness,

      Beware the fruit, said to be forbidden

      Sweet to the lips, but bitter the taste,

      Behind a smile danger is hidden,

      Gentle eyes, with contempt his thoughts are laced

      And his twisted tongue, will only seem to make sense,

      Beware wounds, that tend to deepen,

      Baited by the devil in disguise,

      Virtue the prey prone to weaken,

      In this garden of truth and lies,

      The serpent lies scheming, with his hand held out,

      Confusing all who have suspicion or doubt

      Angel

      I wish to be an angel,

      But I do not wish to die,

      I would like a pair of wings,

      Even if I can’t fly,

      I want to do what is good,

      And believe in what is right,

      I I want to see everything,

      Through the shine of heavens light,

      I want to rise above,

      Maybe sit on a cloud,

      I hope to see all who passed,

      Standing out in a crowd,

      I want to be an angel,

      With eyes that glow,

      Questions without asking,

      Answers among wisdom to know,

      I want to have a sense,

      Beyond all being,

      To come into endless view,

      Blessed with the ability of a foreseeing.

      Quiet

      When it is quiet,

      There is only thought,

      When there is nothing left,

      To
