It Will Always Be Your Song
Chorus It will always be your song/ the one that played all along/ in your soul it rests there until you are ready to hear/ the rhythm of your love/ the poem of your soul/ the harmony of your dreams/ and what it all means.

The Ballad of Patricia Lovarco
Patty Lovarco was a science teacher and I would say, an inspiring creature. Patty Lovarco was a teacher of facts. She demanded alertness, and rarely relaxed.

Allowed to Be. Top Story - April 2025. Content Warning.
I wrote this while feeling frustration and anger over the current state of society. I have never understood the determination of some to try to force their beliefs and opinions on others, while still claiming they support freedom and equality. I have studied several religions through my life before finding that Wicca vibes best with my personal opinions and views. Empathy has always been a very strong aspect of my inner self and something I was grateful to been so connected with.

Maybe It's Me. Top Story - April 2025.
When I was a teen in college, I was part of a garage band. Like any musical person who sang in the shower regularly, I wanted to be a singer - but I didn't have any range or voice, so I was relegated to instrumentals.

“The Not-So-Pleasant King” - song
A song written for the challenge and for funsies (I'm not a professional songwriter). Sound wise: think rock. Or perhaps wacky rock. There will be no video or audio attached - I've had enough embarrassment to last three eternities already (sorry). Hopefully the tone comes out in the lyrics.
