Magick Of The Night
Cast the circle round thrice
As you aproach the candle to light
Call forth the Elements in flight
Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Spirit
Call them to the circle now
Invoke the Goddess and God
In Perfect Love and Trust
In your work you must harm none
Follow this law you must
For if harmful intent is your course
Your fate will be three times worse
Now your spell is cast with harm to none
Dismiss the Elements, close the circle
For now you know your work is done
Eat the cakes and drink the wine
Know that the Goddess will keep you
Ground and clear excess energy
Rest and regenerate and come to know
That your spell will go unimpeded
Feel the energy through you flow.
The Goddess knows your heart
And if intent is pure
You and Her shall never part

The Wall In Your Eyes
I see who you truly are
I see your soul deep inside
I see the love in your heart
In your eyes, I see the pain
Of recent love gone wrong
I see the walls built around your heart
Yes, the bricks used are very strong
But true love can break through
Bit by bit, tiny pieces start to fall
True love is the strength needed
Patience will break down the wall
In it's place will be my arms
Nothing can shake them
No one can cause you harm
Soon you will see
The sisters of fate watched
And they guided you to me
Your heart cried to me
through your eyes and tears
"Come take me away!
Calm my storm of fear!"
My eyes spoke to you silently
As I watched your tears fall
"Here I am, my love!
I will tear down that wall!"
Dawn Of Love
and scatters the night
I look into her eyes
And her touch feels so right
My spirit wakes inside
My heart races with excitement
My soul spreads it wings
Her smile makes my spirit take flight
Could this be true?
Is this right?
My morning begins with you
My heart dances with you in sight
I see your pain and tribulation
But you look upon me and smile
I dont know why, but I give you elation
Your smile, your eyes for me
I dont know what it is you see in me
I see your beauty, even in pain
Your humbleness shows me you are not vain
Down to earth, you truly have class
You laugh at my dumb jokes
You smile at me and all pain has passed
A new day has dawned
A gift from above
Yes, this is a new beginning
This is the dawn of love
Hall Of Despair
People around only see pain
All they can do is watch tears fall
They cannot see the man before
They dont see how happy I used to be
Now all that is shown is tears
All that remains is pain and misery
As I walk down that dark hall
Others are feeling the pain
Like me, their tears fall
Some the same pain
Others are different
One factor is constant as you look in the rooms
They come in pain and despair
They try to heal their wounds
Society looks down on us
For all they see is the rage
They shout and scream in fear
"Lock him or her in a cage!"
They dont see how this person got here
They dont see how they used to be
It seems society doesnt care
They come to heal the mind's wounds
As they walk the hall of despair
At The Gates Of Forgiveness
I see the hurt in your eyes
I remember how I betrayed you
And how you saw through my lies
I left you for a lesser woman
Who I thought loved me
It was not who I thought she was
And love with her was not to be
But I came to you on bended knee
Asking for another chance
You heard my cry of sorrow
You saw how I paid the price
How I had no hope for tomorrow
You took pity on me and forgave me
Though you have another man
You deserve much better
Than what I ever gave
I'm sorry I caused you so much sorrow
Your friendship you freely give
It will be much brighter tomorrow
And you made me want to live
I thank you for your forgiveness
You truly are a queen
Your friendship is a gift
I am not worthy of your kindness
You still give my soul a lift

Meeting the Goddess
Light breaks the darkness
And my spirit starts to rise
I feel the voice vibrate in me
It soothes my inner being
And says, "Come and see"
As I soar through the light
A beautiful ball of energy
Is the destination of my flight
This ball of energy is pure love
As I draw near, I feel pure peace
My spirit is drawn up above
I feel it say to my spirit as I fly
"Come oh child I love, sit at my side"
I realize this is what I searched for
The Goddess has called me home.
"Soon you must go back", she says
"A little while longer you must roam"
As I sit at her side, my spirit opens up
All I have learned spills out
But more must be done
Life is about lessons we must learn
To take to the Goddess and give
Our knowledge is what She yearns
She gives us life, love, and peace
To take to others on our plane
And when we are done with our lessons
The Summerlands is what we shall gain
So back to my existence I return
To give to others what She gave me
My purpose is to help others learn.
To show them the love She placed inside me
So they too may benefit
From the gift given to me

New Beginnings
When you said we were through
I never wanted us to part
Don't you know I still love you?
But a new day has dawned
And light will break free
Birth from death has spawned
Giving new life to me
I see with new eyes
The pain is almost gone
Now that I'm a bit more wise
It's time for me to move on
Though my heart still yearns for you
I will seek and find
New people for me to meet
But you will always be on my mind
I will always treasure the time we spent
In each other's arms at night
But as I turn the page again
My spirit will take flight
New realms of life that I never seen before
Another arch opens up for me
After you have slammed the door
Dont fret or worry about me
I will be alright
Just think fondly of me
And watch my soul take flight

The Daily Struggle of Man
I push and all the blood rushes to my head
I turn and yell to my son afar
"Damn it, hurry up and bring me a crowbar!"
As I strain, I feel the dizziness in my head
I think if this doesn't drop soon I'll be dead
When I push I feel hot pain all over
But if I stop it will be much worse
I push harder and start to curse
Pretty soon if I don't hear a plop
I will pass out, on the floor I'll drop
I feel the tear as it starts to crown
Then I feel relief as it falls down
So now that my veins have all burst in my head
I flush the toilet and go back to bed

What Do You See?
Do you see only another face?
Or do you look deeper at the one behind the eyes?
Do you see my soul deep in this body?
Come, see who I am deep inside
I'll tell you of accomplishments
I'll tell you of children who give me pride
I'll tell you of sorrow and hardships
Yes there were struggles and strife
Sometimes it brought me to my knees
But then the good times came
And there was joy and peace
All these things made me who I am today
The wrinkles in my eyes
were caused by my many many tears
The lines in my face are from happiness
And the many smiles over the years
Listen and learn of my hopes and dreams
Learn as I tell you of all my fears
See how the lessons of life has taught me
To seek knowledge and wisdom
Throughout the many years
When you learn to look for these in all whom you see
Then when you look into my eyes
The real me is what you'll see

Astral Flight
And slowly close my eyes
I hear a loud roar as I take flight
And I feel myself start to rise
I see my body as I float above
Soon I am flying quickly
into light and land of love
My sight is crystal clear
with a clarity I've not had before
As I near the source of light
I'm thrust through a door
My body is shining and new
Attached to a silver cord
I was filled with strength and energy
Unlike any I've had before
I heard many voices around me
But the voices were not a sound
Instead it is a vibration through me
There is nothing to fear around
I am surrounded by peace and love
And the light is very bright
But it does not hurt my eyes
My worries all take flight
Soon I feel and hear the whoosh
As I am snapped back
I am back in my body in my bed
Thoughts of what has happened
And wonder fill my head
Though perplexed trying to ponder
The events of that night
I try to get back to the astral plane
I want my soul to take flight

Restaurant Review : Levanti's American Bistro
Tonight, I am going to tell you of my experience with the restaurant Levanti's American Bistro, located in the quaint little western Pennsylvania town of Beaver. It is right on the main drag through town, also known as 3rd Street. Let me give you a brief history of this restaurant and how I came to be dining in this particular pervayer of cooked food. This is a family run restaurant that started out as an italian restaurant. This restaurant was featured two weeks ago on Gordon Ramsay's show, Kitchen Nightmares. According to the show, it was run by a brother and sister, I dont know their names. The restaurant was financed by their father. There was a lot of bickering going on between the brother and sister, they let their food standards slip, and as a result, they contacted Gordon to come and fix their issues in a week, according to the show. Gordon caught them serving tomato sauce that was moldy and sitting in a baine marie, the chicken was slimy and green cause it was so old and spoiled, so he stopped service and forced them to shut down till things got cleaned up, etc etc. That's how it went according to the show. Gordon gave them a new interior, cleaned up their act, and got them on the path to success. Show over. I actually passed the camera crew while they were filming the show back in June. This is now Febuary, and seems that business has slowed since the filming of the show, and when the show aired, I'm sure that a lot of people did not want to go to their restaurant as they may have slipped back to their old ways, as is common with those that Gordon helps. Needless to say, a friend of mine called and said "hey Gene, let's go to Levanti's and give them a try!". However, I will say I was very reluctant to go eat at this particular establishment due to the show. I finally went, preconceived notions and all. I must say, I was very pleasantly surprised!
When I walked in the door, I could see that the interior was warm and inviting...that was expected as Gordon and his film crew spent a lot of money to revamp their interior. The place was practically empty, so I immediately thought, "ok, so they went back to their ways and are suffering for it. Here we go, sigh..", but we were seated immediately and we ordered our drinks, and were given nice menus that seemed to fit a bistro. My friend ordered the wild mushroom marsala, and I ordered the wild mushroom burger with seasoned fries, salad, and as an appetizer, thai barbeque buffalo wings. When I got the wings, there seemed to be little on the plate, just a few of them. Now mind you, these are NOT wings, they are chicken tenderloins, so they are boneless and very meaty. They served them with a ranch dipping sauce and a homemade blue cheese dipping sauce. They were very delicious and even with their few numbers, quite sufficient. To me, it was a perfect combination of thai barbeque and buffalo sauce. Then came our salads. The mixed greens were perfect, the tomatoes a little ripe as they should have been firm to the bite. Yet, very flavorful. It was a perfect pallet cleansing salad. Then, our main course came. I must say I was quite shocked at the size of the burger, it was so small, I thought they made a mistake and served me a slider, as they have those on the menu as well. About that time, as I was looking over the small stature of my burger, the father came in and was interacting with customers as he walked around the dining room. I told him that the burger seems a little small, but he insisted that it was filling. So, I took the chance. Please indulge me here a bit as I describe this burger to you. This is a beef patty that is covered in mushrooms and mozzarella cheese, topped with lettuce that is tossed in a mayonnaise that is infused with truffle oil. I have to say that they did go a little heavy on the truffle oil, but still was very tasty! They gave enough seasoned fries that you would easily fill up on as well. I have no real complaints about the burger. Yes, I was very surprised at how well that burger filled me up. Now mind you, I'm a guy that can eat an entire large pizza by myself!
My friend ordered the wild mushroom marsala, and I tasted this as well. Wow, the different nuances of the many flavors danced upon my taste buds! They had the perfect combination of garlic, cream, marsala wine, and mushroom and chicken in this particular dish. Not too much sauce, just enough to flavor the penne pasta that was in the dish as well. Amazingly, they did it in such a way that you could taste each and every individual flavor! The only real disappointment was the dessert. I ordered their tiramisu. Unfortunately, this particular dessert was rather bland. Everything else was pretty much perfect. If those who work at Levanti's are reading this, can I suggest something? A little more sugar to your tiramisu and I'm sure it will be perfect. So, there you have it. I give them a four star rating! If you are ever in the town of Beaver, Pa. and need a good place to eat, I strongly suggest you stop in and check out what is going on at Levanti's American Bistro. I dont think you will be disappointed, and the prices are just right!
Heart Of A Warrior
Adrenaline pumping, his will is inspiring
Eyes fixed and focused, his will undeterred
His nose smells his opponent's fear
His rage and will to win is unfettered
He knows that victory is near
As the fight rages on, and with every blow
He will be the one left standing
And it is his name the entire world will know
His is the heart of a true warrior,
His will is bigger than his fear
He knows he must continue to fight
Even when defeat seems near.
The heart of a warrior beats strong
Courage runs through his veins
When the smoke and dust clears
He is the one left standing
It is the warrior who remains.

The Heart And The Lie
I smile and tell you I'm doing well.
It's a lie, I'm actually going through hell.
As I walk down the street,
I smile at everyone I meet.
It seems that life is going good,
but in my heart I'm screaming.
The pain is too much to bear,
but it seems that no one is there to care.
My soul cries out for the healing touch
of the one that I love so much.
But that one is no where to be found.
So, I smile and wave to those around.
"Life is so good for him", they say.
But what they don't see is the loneliness
I live with each and every day.
So, when you see me and I smile and say " All is okay",
don't believe the lie.
The truth is I'm dying,
And my breaking heart is why.

Barren Land Of The Heart
The sands of time cannot erase
what was left for me to chase.
My heart is laid waste and nothing left to spare,
only desolation left in the land laid bare.
Only sand is left over there.
In this land of the heart,
I thought we'd never part.
But I'm left to surmise
what I truly despise.
Loneliness is killing me,
this is what I am to be.
A lone wolf in disguise,
the world laughs at my demise.
If I fall again,
this will be my one true sin.
Now circle is cast,
will true love be that will last.
My heart beats true ,
for it beats only for you.
If you love me, so be it.
If not, then I must leave it.
My heart is laid waste,
so now death I must taste.
I will be reborn
and leave this life of scorn.

Suicide Solution
Drowning in a sea of despair,
I wonder if there is someone that will truly care.
Will someone hear my cry?
All is lost, I'm beyond all hope.
There is nothing in this life
with which I can cope.
I'm at the point of no return,
my will to live is gone
and my fire no longer burns.
The blackness that is now before my eyes
is where my spirit shall dwell.
There seems to be only one way to end my hell.
With a pull of the trigger, it can all end.
It's the only way to stop my soul from continuing to descend.
To leave this earth, and enter the light
seems to be the only way to end my plight.
I've done my best, but I could not stand.
The pain is far to much for me.
This is the only solution that I see.
So now it ends with a gun in my hand.
I can only hope that you will understand.

I Stand Alone
The battle has raged and many were there,
bombs burst as the volleys flew through the air.
Many have fought and many fell,
so much wide spread destruction,
this truly must be hell.
Those who I thought were by my side
were actually the enemy, in a mask they hide.
They were stealthy and their ways were cunning,
they came as friends and were hard to see coming.
In the end the truth was known,
my enemies were slain and I stand alone.
Life is hard and sometimes I fall under the load,
always wandering down that dark and lonely road.
Love is gained and love is lost,
and friends will come and will go.
Some offer their support and help,
but what will be the cost?
No, I will my do best to stand on my own.
Because in reality I must rely upon myself,
in the end I stand alone.
When you see my scars and the lines in my face,
see me for who I am and put yourself in my place.
When you see the frown that I sometimes wear,
think for a few minutes as to why it's there.
I still fight with what's inside of me,
a warrior spirit is what you will see.
When life is over and they bury me below,
my epitaph will be..I stand alone!

Awakening Love
like the beat of the shaman's drum.
The chant of the soul
is as soft as a hum.
Blood begins to flow
steady through the veins,
as my soul lets go of the reins.
Soaring higher than the highest skies,
my heart beats faster as I look into your eyes.
Your smile, this is true beauty indeed.
Your love is all that I will ever need.
You take my hand,
and let me know that everything will be alright.
When we are apart,
you are my dream every night.
Without you, nothing ever seems right.
We walk side by side,
hand in hand.
When I look into your eyes,
I truly understand.
I understand what love means to me.
I understand that this is how life should be.
For when I'm with you,
I know that everything will be alright.
I know that when I hold you in my arms,
that this is what truly feels right.
Nothing else will ever do,
for nothing is worth existing without you.
You are reason, and you are rhyme.
You are my love, and you are my time.
For you give me breath, and you give me life.
When I look into your eyes, I forget all of my strife.
You bring me joy, and I no longer feel pain.
If it wasnt for you, life would be vain.
There would be no reason or wisdom if it wasn't for love.
Love is what sustains the universe, and the sky up above.
Life without love is a life not worth living.
Love is what inspires us, and makes a joy out of giving.
Love is something that you can only have if you give.
Love is the reason why we live.

Eyes Of Love
Only Lonely
When I Think Of You
When I think of you, I think of worlds on high, and the stars as they are painted in the sky. When I think of you, I think of passion, that is feirce as the mighty thunder, and the lightning as it streaks across the sky. I think of romance, I think of love, I think of what it must be like, to be the apple of your eye. To be your knight in shining armour, how I would treat you as a queen. I would be at your beck and call, only at your feet would I fall. When I think of you, I think of all the good that can be. When I think of you, I think of you right beside me. When I think of you, I dream of you in my arm, the smile on your face that would only be for me. When I think of you, I think of spring, how everything is made new and all the joy you bring. I think of all the sorrow, and pain you must have felt, and I think how I would do my best to make sure they never torture you again, the sad memories of life back then. When I think of you, I think of the future, and what it will be. Surely trials will come, but with you, I will always be free. When I think of you, I think of all the things that bring joy, and make my spirit sing.

Feel The Madness
The Storm Of Heart Break
Dark clouds cover over the scape of the mind, lightning flashes and the boom of thunder echoes. Waves toss, threatening to drown, ridges of the heart start to fall down. The Sea of Doubt starts to rise, undercurrents of pain try to pull me under. My heart beats faster, trying to stay afloat. The smoke of once great passion, fills my nostrils and burns my lungs, my eyes see the life of love pass before me. The center of the storm brings a strange calm, the hurricane of pain swirls around me. Soon, the final wave of pain and suffering will surely see my love's demise. As I slip under the waves, my heart grows weary, then turns cold, then to stone. The hurricane of heartbreak soon subsides, the land of the heart is laid waste. Now, only dust is left for all to taste. The flames are gone, the heart is stone. Now, to rebuild and heal, is mine alone.
Opening Heart
I hear the crack and squeak, then light from beneath. The door is opening, light bursting through. A shadow in the light, soon I realize that it is you. Blood begins to rush, ears roar to life. Finally, joy comes and there is the end of all strife. Yes, I walk through the rays of light that shine in. I bask in the glow, and feel the warmth from within. Love floods the floors, and I try to swim, but instead I sink to the bottom, but there is no harm. As I reach out for you, I grab your arm. We walk side by side, through the trials and toils, but victory is ours, and we share all the spoils. Love is what drowns us, and love is what saves us. We cannot fall or fail. Love is what carries our boat, the wind in our sails. We drift onward into the night, and through out life, we know that we are what is right. The door is completely open, waiting for you to walk in. Now, a life of happiness is what we begin.
