Fighting

The only fight that you ever have to fight
is the fight that takes place inside you;
between the good and evil that live there.
You have to learn to bring them into harmony
then let the light that shines from within
bring fourth the love, understanding, and forgiveness
that I see when I look at you.

Fear
(view the short video and hear the poem here)

What are you afraid of and why?
Could it be that you are afraid of
not being able to pay your bills?
Or not having enough food to eat?
Or are you afraid of losing your lover?
Or are you afraid of death?
Or maybe you’re afraid of everything.

Once upon a time
a young lady asked Merlin
if there is any real magic in the world.
I said yes, but most people will
never be able to see the magic
for they live in an illusion that they call reality.
But there is a magic number...
...the number three.

For we are the third planet from the sun.
The sun, the moon and the Earth equal three.
Three knowns of the triangle solved for the other three.
Three colors create all colors.
Three notes create a chord.
Music goes up in triads.
In Christianity you have the Holy Trinity
of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
In the ancient wisdom it was said that
in the beginning there was one,
one split into two,
from two came three
and from three came everything.
Just like in life,
you have one being born,
two is living and
three is death and
from three comes everything.

So again I ask you, what are you afraid of and why?

Life

In the relativity of life the only one you will ever know, is your own. Remember you are the power in your life use that power wisely. There is no right or wrong, good or evil there is only learning, learning to love yourself. The loneliness and emptiness that we all feel from time to time, can never be filled with anything except with love, love for yourself. No one can make you happy and no one can make you sad. Only you can do that. Remember you are the power in your life use that power wisely.

Wherever you are in life, you are there because you chose to be there. If you don’t like it change it by what you think, say and do in the moment that you have. this will create your future to be whatever you want to be. Remember you are the power in your life use that power wisely never give your away your power to anyone or anything you only give love away and don’t confuse sex with with love they are not one in the same always let your actions reflect what your words are saying remember you are the power in your life use that power wisely for the Bible says your body is the temple of God and you were created in God's image.

Loving Miss Jane

Honey when you’re around I’m having fun,
glowing bright like the sun.
But when you’re gone
I’m down for so long
that I find myself
somewhere on Lover’s Lane.
You are always there Miss Jane.
Somewhere in my mind
I find we are laughing
and having a good time…
somewhere in my mind.
I’m still loving you Miss Jane.
A virgin is how I see you one day,
the next in a family way.
But however I see you,
you always bring a smile.
Honey, remember when they said
loving you would make me blue and
I would find myself living my life in a cell?
But living without you would be hell.
So I find myself
somewhere on memories lane,
you are always there Miss Jane.
Somewhere in my mind
I find we are laughing
and having a good time…
somewhere in my mind.
I’m still loving you Miss Jane,
even today as I walk away.
I’m loving you Miss Jane.

Because Of

As I grow old
Watching the flowers grow
And the sun shining down
To the earth below
I smile without a frown
Because of the stars above
And the flowers that I love
I'll have no fear
For I feel Him near
When I look at the flowers
Growing beautifully here
I'll laugh away the hours
Because of the stars above
And the flowers that I love
He gives my life a home
Where I'll never be alone
Even in the wintry blanket of snow
His love I'll always know
You ask me why
I know He's nearby
Because the flowers grow
And the birds can fly
His love will always show
Because of the stars above
And the flowers that I love

Get Along Here

As you ride down life’s lonely road
Asking all around where love has gone.
They say you’ll have to fit the mold
To get along here.
So you walk along life’s lonely highway.
Asking where you belong along the way.
And they say you’re going to pay
To get along here.
So you say happiness is where you are
And they say you’re reaching for a star
And they’re always putting you down.
For spreading love around.
So you fall through life’s lonely maze
Wondering if it’s true what they say
That you’re just looking for a phrase
To get along here.

Relationships

Relationships can only grow
where there is truth and honesty.
For without that
There are no relationships.
There are only illusions
Created by trickery and deceptions.
For only in truth and honesty
will relationships grow
and it is there that you will find
the Magic of Love.

Sex

Sex and what its all about
not much really
One night, a young lady said to me
"Merlin, I can see you think
you are a great lover."
I looked at her and smiled and
This is what I said,
"Young lady, whats between your legs
is controlled by what is between your ears.
So if I can turn your mind on
I can turn you on."
Now some people say sex is just an act,
and I would have to agree-
But I personally like it best
when it's an act of love.

The Eyes of Sorrow

When you look through the eyes of sorrow
And find you have no time to borrow
Will you be able to see the flowers
In the beautiful morning hours
Or will you feel only hate
Because of your lonely fate.
As you look through the eyes of sorrow
Knowing you won't live to see tomorrow
Will you see the stars glowing
In the night of your knowing
You'll die for you can't hide
For the eyes of sorrow stand by your side.
Will you hear the song birds musical sound
and will you see the sun shining down
Before the eyes of sorrow come in the night
Will you know the answers to your life?
When it's my turn for the eyes of sorrow
I hope I won't be afraid of tomorrow.
For when I close my eyes
I want to see the painted blue skies
And listen to the angels sing
as I hear the church bells ring.
And when there's nothing left for me to do
I hope I can say, I love you.

Through the Coming Years

When I look in her direction
seeing her soft reflection
wishing she were mine
for she's so gentle and kind.
I'll want her near
through the coming years.
I write in beautiful rhymes
thinking of all the times
I've longed for her touch,
knowing she'll never know how much
I'll want her near
through the coming years.
Her voice has a soft tone
and I long to take her home,
for when she speaks
the feeling makes me weak.
There's so much I want her to know
about the way she makes me glow.
How can I tell her
I'll always feel this way about her.
I'll always want her near,
through the coming years.

Wasn't He the One

When your outlook on life is dim
And you feel like dying
But you believe in Him
He'll give you the strength to keep trying
For wasn't He the one who gave Noah the dove?
And isn't the answer to life love?
If you can understand why
At times life is filled with sorrow
He'll always stand by your side
To help you find tomorrow
For wasn't He the one who gave Noah the dove?
And isn't the answer to life love?
Someday, I hope we can see
That we must all believe
What the prophets could see
When they said He would never deceive
So take hold of His hand
When life seems unkind
And He'll help you to understand
So you can open your mind
For wasn't He the one who gave Noah the dove?
And isn't the answer to life love?
