Eight years ago, I found my birth mother after years searching. It was wonderful and we got to know each other before her passing two years ago. I wrote her a lyric back then called 'I Found You,' which she loved. Well, that lyric has now been set to music.

It took a long, long time
Some would say forever
But I searched and searched again
So please, please never say never
Please never say never

I found you, I found you, I found you, I found you
I’m no longer the motherless child
I found you
After years lost out in the wild
I found you
I’ll never be lonely again

Many things I didn’t know
Some would say for better
But I’m glad to know you now
So let’s spend what’s left together
Let’s spend what’s left together

I found you, I found you, I found you, I found you
I’m no longer the motherless child
I found you
I’ll never be lonely again
I found you
Let’s never lose each other again

I am complete and whole again
Legitimate once more
I am complete and whole again
The soul from which I bore
(Wouooooo)

I feared that you were cold
I’m so happy I was wrong
So much, so much I want to learn
But now I’m lost in song
But now I’m lost in song
 
I found you, I found you, I found you, I found you
I’m no longer the motherless child
I found you
I’ll never be lonely again
I found you
Let’s never lose each other again

I am complete and whole again
Legitimate once more
I am complete and whole again
The soul from which I bore
(Wouooooo)

I feared that you were cold
I’m so happy I was wrong
So much, so much I want to learn
But now I’m lost in song
But now I’m lost in song

I Found You

This love song is made up of the titles of 30 love songs, so the singer is giving her love 30 love songs, not just one.

Thirty Love Songs, Baby

Originally called Sparks Of Interest and written in 2016 and has been rewritten as: Anesthesia.  This is an original song, that is written and recorded by Calyx Kreations Music Label. The production is done by Astral Realm Beats and Calyx Kre.

This song is about self-liberation and authenticity. Your destiny in love isn’t just romance—it’s building something real, joyful, and lasting (Ten of Pentacles + The Sun). To attract this, you must free yourself from limiting beliefs, heal financial/emotional stress, and show your authentic self to the world. Love is safe for you, but discernment is key—stay optimistic while honoring red flags.

In my mind there is a space
Where I can keep my thoughts and visions
Every day I get wiser
I never can stop wishing
That soon the times will change
All the people will get along
If we can’t do it in words
We can do it in a song

Music says it all, if people would just listen
Dreams come true, people keep on wishing

If we try to end the hate
We will escape from this curse
There’s just no use in crying
Life can’t get much worse
There are things I want to say
That can’t be said in words
Let my music say it all
Like singing of the birds

Music says it all, if people would just listen
Dreams come true, people keep on wishing

The days get much longer
When you can’t seem to understand
Why there’s fear and endless struggle
In every corner of this land
As I grow much older
I’ll be forgotten in the end
But maybe they’ll play my music
Known only by my friends

Music says it all, if people would just listen
Dreams come true, people keep on wishing

Heart of rainbows
You are mine
Through the endless
Perils of time
No broken heart
No lonely night
Can take the magic
From my life

I may scream and I may cry
And at times I’ll want to die
But all showers come to pass
A heart of rainbows beats too fast

Heart of rainbows
Brings me dreams
I know for sure
One day I’ll see
No war or plague
Or deep dark lie
Can steal the colour
From my eyes

I may scream and I may cry
And at times I’ll want to die
But all showers come to pass
A heart of rainbows beats too fast

Heart of rainbows
I thank you
Through the gold
And through the blue
I know some time
We’ll find the way
To live in peace
With love each day
 
I may scream and I may cry
And at times I’ll want to die
But all showers come to pass
A heart of rainbows beats too fast

Heart of rainbows
Heart of rainbows
You are mine

Heart Of Rainbows

Imagine living in a castle with every material thing you ever wanted.  Would you be happy?  Would you feel like a King or Princess?  The fantasy is ages old, in every language and culture.   On the surface, a castle represents all the romantic notions of love, dreams, and happily ever after.  But what really happens Behind the Castle Doors is up to you!  
Created using Yamaha DGX660

Behind Castle Doors

First track from a set of short piano pieces.
"Rien ne bougeait encore au front des palais. L’eau était morte. Les camps d’ombres ne quittaient pas la route du bois."
Arthur Rimbaud

She ran to the river
To try and catch a song
When she got to the river
A voice asked her what was wrong

So she climbed up a mountain
She hoped a song was waiting there
When she climbed up the mountain
A voice whispered in the air

Inspiration is magic
It’s a gift on a breeze
No, don’t worry, you can’t hurry
It will come when your mind is free

So she sat in the silence
No thoughts of gold or fame
When she found her silence
A choir of angels came

Ah, Ah, Ah
Ah, Ah, Ah
Ah, Ah, Ah
Ah, Ah, Ah

She was met by a choir of angels
Singing her heavenly songs
Healing and making her strong

Inspiration is magic
It’s a gift on a breeze
No, don’t worry, you can’t hurry
It will come when your mind is free
It will come when your mind is free
It will come when your mind is free

Take me home tonight

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
