Cover me with your yellow light.
Hide me from the night’s evil plight.
Take me in your arms and hold me.
Come down to me on bended knee.
I need you tonight and forever more.
Hold me so tight until I’m hurt and sore.
Run away with me ❤
Come run away with me,
Down the stairs to the sea.
We’ll take a fast ship.
Champagne we will sip.
Leave our troubles behind.
New ones we’re sure to find.
We’ll be together forever.
To me, you will always tether.
Rocky waves are waiting ahead.
But with me, you will make your bed.
Leaves (by Wouter Hogendorp)
Feelings of softest blue.
This is how I see you.
Through a film of ice,
You appear so nice.
A reflection it is
That I can never miss.
As leaves float high,
I peer up at the sky
I still see your face
In every place.
I can feel your hot gaze
Even in this haze.
Please come back to me,
And we can float free.
Darkness brings a pall to town.
I turn around with a frown.
Soft footsteps echo down the street,
I know whom I’m destined to meet.
Has everyone gone to hide,
Leaving me to fend off his pride?
I should have listened to my heart’s song,
Listened to reason and right from wrong.
There is nowhere to run or hide.
I will stand firm against the tide.
I sit unprotected in his path.
No one is safe from his evil wrath.
His lips descend slowly to make me his.
I have no power to escape from this.
Forever caught in a storm of desire,
His fire brings me higher and higher.
THE DEAD GAME
He has come for me.
I’ll never be free.
He comes this night.
Fear at first sight.
He claims his love.
But he’s no dove.
He’s evil as can be.
Always searching for me.
I must hide until morning.
Or the town will be mourning.
The devil hides his face.
I know his deadly pace.
His footsteps ring hollow.
Steps quicken to follow.
He sings a sweet song.
I know I’m not wrong.
The devil is right behind me.
Even though his face I can’t see.
He has me in his grasp.
I cry out with a gasp.
He kisses me with passion.
I know this is his fashion.
To take what is not his.
And make me only his.
THE DEAD GAME
TUG***
I walk in the dark woods.
Soft cries fill my ears.
The same cries of my nightmares.
I know what waits for me in the forest.
Goosebumps riddle my chilled flesh.
The evil one calls to me.
My heart beats to his drum.
He wants me to join him.
He plays for keeps.
I will go now
and face the devil.
THE DEAD GAME
RETREAT
A place for our dreams,
An earthly retreat.
Follow my heart’s beat.
Can you feel the heat?
The earth is alive.
Its core is on fire.
Come with me, darling.
I feel your desire.
It’s all too soon gone.
The door is closing.
It’s being washed out
By the sea’s hosing.
Don’t run from the truth.
Please come back to me.
You can’t turn away.
I know you love me.
My life is in your hands.
My dreams and fantasies.
My hopes and desires.
All belong to you.
Wrap your arms around me.
Hold me tight.
And never let me go.
My life is now complete.
My life will be yours.
Forevermore.
Take me away from a world without color,
A world where life is dull and grey.
I want to swim through the ocean’s waves,
Where rainbows can frolic and play.
The sun’s rays shimmer off the water,
Leaving trails of gold, yellow, and red.
Beacons of light for me to follow,
To a new land where to lay my head.
I fly through the rolling waves,
Touching down on a spot of land.
I am lifted by arms of fountains
And laid to rest on the pink sand.
Turtles scurry away from my hand.
Birds fly around as they have fun.
The waves recede in their farewell dance,
Leaving me alone in the sun.
Who lives on this small island?
It’s time for me to explore.
A hut of branches in a tree.
I must see if there is more.
The steps are pretty steep,
I climb and step inside.
The room is small and dark.
Who knows what it may hide?
I hear footsteps from the room beyond.
They’re coming closer to where I hide.
It’s too late to run for the door,
I must face whoever is inside.
Todd saunters into the room.
Candles and two places set.
He throws me a big grin,
As if I am his prized pet.
We both wait in silence.
Todd slowly moves toward me.
“I hope you like my surprise.”
I feel as cold as can be.
I don’t like surprises.
Especially from him.
He keeps me at arm’s length,
Not letting me in.
I lower my eyes
From the fire in his eyes.
They’re consuming me alive,
I’m burning up from his lies.
Todd makes an abrupt movement.
He strides across the room.
He kisses me with great passion
Under the blood red moon.
