Subj: Xfile poems & 1 filk Christmas Thoughts (Tune: Silver Bells) filked by: Ruth Dempsey Anglofans@aol.com City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style In the air there's a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing Beaming smile after smile And I think, as I do every year. Samantha, Samantha It's Christmas Time and I miss you Samantha, Samantha I know the truth is out there. D.C. street light, even stop lights Blink a bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch This is Santa's big scene And the ache hurts more every year. Samantha, Samantha It's Christmas Time and I miss you Samantha, Samantha I know the truth is out there. "DUANE BERRY" by: Ruth Dempsey Anglofans@aol.com One last cry And vanishing into the light The echo rings in my soul I could do nothing And I cannot rest I will never rest The truth is out there And when I find it I pray you will be there "SLEEPLESS" by: Ruth Dempsey Anglofans@aol.com Where do we go when we dream? What worlds lie locked inside the mind? Preacher walks the line between the dream and the real. Where is that line? Do I dare to cross it? And if I did -- Would Dana and Samantha be there? "3" by: Ruth Dempsey Anglofans@aol.com Blood cries for blood Life fears death When fear goes beyond reason Madness takes over I have tasted the blood of a believer And the flames burn Black - edged desire into my soul Oh Kristen -- What have we done? Blood cries for blood Love conquers darkness And fear fades into a mid-day shadow You chose no longer fearing You tasted the blood of a believer And the flames burn Blood - red into a black smoke sky Oh Kristen -- What have I done? "LAST BREATH" by: Ruth Dempsey Anglofans@aol.com She says I can touch you, But I can't see how. Isn't that a laugh? I was always the believer - and now I'm lost in doubt. What should I say? What dare I say? The words won't come and the shadows are closing in. Fight or flight If I kill -- Who am I serving? She says you need me, But I can't see how. It hurts too much, I was always the believer, But now I'm lost in doubt. And then you opened your eyes.
