Alone Again

        There’s no turning back now
I’m past the point of no return
My destiny it seems is to keep burning
Bridges, I guess I’ll never learn

I’m on yet another journey without
A blueprint or any kind of plan
I didn’t  want to leave this way
But I was forced to play my hand

Out on the highway driving in the
Blowing snow,  I’m completely exhausted
I’m struggling to stay awake and
Keep my windows defrosted

We were together last night
We shared an enchanted kiss
I was riding on cloud nine
Living a life of complete bliss

We had a chemistry there was
A spark and there was desire
I certainly felt I was on the edge of
Love but it wasn’t enough for the fire

I’m a man and I can’t remember the last
Time I cried, fighting the tears in my eyes
I can’t believe another chance for love
Was lost and my inevitable demise

I’ll never know what went wrong
What was the beginning of the end
How can I go on without you and what’s
My purpose now that I’m Alone Again

Perspective

      I know sometimes it seems
Like I may be doing some drinking
When I seclude myself and I’ve
Had some time for thinking

In my poetry sometimes it’s
My thoughts that I decide to share
It seems there’s always emotions
Behind the words I don’t care

Now listen I believe you’ll find my
Words are sound when I say
It’s seems there’s some pain
Hidden behind the words I’m okay

And if you stop and think about it
I believe you’ll find it so
It seems there’s always some knowledge
Behind the words I don’t know

And if we all come clean I’m sure
We can agree with our admitting
I’m sure we’ll find there’s some truth
Behind the words just kidding

Now you know I’m always clear
And no one needs to be a detective
And no one needs to read between the
Lines to understand the Perspective

Reminded Of My Place

     Well I took a vacation
It was good for this heart of mine
Came home did some work on the place
I was proud and on cloud nine

I hadn’t felt like this in a long while
Let it be my true confession
Hadn’t felt much like entertaining
I was in a state of depression

My daughter and Son in Law gave me
Their gently used Blackstone grill
It gave me some new inspiration
Changed my view and my will

I swept the Deck gonna have it
Professionally washed as well
Things were looking pretty good
Raised my spirits you could tell

So I washed and cleaned the old chairs
Even swept and gave the carpet a shampoo
I was on a roll and we went to buy a
Patio set a table and chairs brand new

Got a new umbrella and I was excited
Got some utensils for the grill so great
Told friends and family invitations
Are going to be sent and I can’t wait

Today was my first day back to work
I had my reality I needed to face
And as sure as this good heart still beats
I was quickly Reminded Of My Place

Never Had A Bad Day

      Tell it to Jesus when you cry
With all your pettiness I say
Tell it to Jesus go ahead and try
Because you’ve never had a bad day

Let’s talk about the lashings
The spitting and the thrown crud
Let’s talk about carrying his own
Cross and let’s talk about the blood

Let’s talk about the nails
Through his hands and feet
The crown of thorns on his head
The reason moments from complete

The death and the resurrection
Just for our forgiveness and choice
But most still listen to the Demon
And that my friend is the wrong voice

Your petty troubles are nothing in
Compare in fact they’re child’s play
So go tell it to Jesus he’ll still listen
Though You’ve Never Had A Bad Day

No Tomorrow

     There’s so many people living
With so much pain and sorrow
They’re living in the world of the
Past and they worry about tomorrow

Is our lives meant to be lived without
Hope and with a heart without repair
Is there no time for a life of joy
When we live with so much despair

If the Sun comes out tomorrow will
Will it make us smile enough to get by
If the Sun hides behind the clouds
Is it solely a reason to cry

There’s always tomorrow or so they
Say or at least those who procrastinate
I hope they’re right and they’ve got
Nothing left undone before it’s too late

Because all the money won’t buy more
Time and there’s none you can borrow
I know it’s cliche but we should all
Live life as if there’s No Tomorrow

What More

      In the name of love he came
The words written are true
In the name of love he came
He came for me and you

In the name of love he came
To the people himself he revealed
In the name of love he came
He taught and he healed

In the name of love he came
He even raised Lazarus from the dead
In the name of love he came
In the Bible his words are written in red

In the name of love he came
He fed the people and he prayed
In the name of love he came
And yet he was betrayed

In the name of love he came
Accepting his gift is to be purified
In the name of love he came
Love is the reason he was crucified

In the name of love he came
Yet still some use the choice to ignore
In the name of love he came
I say in the name of love What More

I’m Not A Robot

      There’s so many versions
Of how the world ends
Some have brother fighting brother
And friends against friends

Others feel that it’s time for another
Asteroid from Space to strike
And some see the likes of a planet
Ruled by Apes and that’s what I like

Because it would be funny to hear the
Conversation of Apes about evolution
The high powers writing their history
Ensuring they have the only solution

Evolving from Humans the proof
Was discovered in the vaults of Shang
That nothing spontaneously burst
Into Everything by virtue of a big bang

Yet I think the reality is the takeover
By AI though our destiny we know not
I am seeing evidence right on my phone
When I have to prove I’m Not A Robot

The Other Side

     Well I’ve given my life to Jesus, it
Doesn’t mean I think I’m better than you
It just means I’m going to try to be the
Best I can be with everything I do

I feel the love of Jesus so powerful
The Demons just can’t bare it
I feel compelled by a force I’ve never
Felt pushing me to share it

You have the choice to believe
And you have the choice to deny
I’m not gonna say you’re right or wrong
There’s no judgment in my eyes

All I can do is tell of my experience
I hope you can feel the passion
When you see me in my Jesus apparel
I hope you know it’s not for fashion

I’m proud of the Man I am today
My love for Jesus I’ll never hide
And when our time on Earth is over
I pray I’ll see you on The Other Side

Fighting For Life

       Once there was a time
When all I could do was cry
I didn’t know how to live, everything
Would be alright if I could die

I never worried about Heaven
I was living in Hell
So like a turtle afraid of his own shadow
I stayed hidden in my own Shell

There were unsuspected Angels
I encountered along the way
And with their guidance and an
Unseen force I’m still alive today

Today I live a life so blessed and
Love is the overwhelming sense I feel
If I didn’t know any better
I would swear that it wasn’t real

I can only figure that even when
I was struggling with all my Strife
And I didn’t think I had a reason to live
I was actually Fighting For Life

River’s Soul

     Twenty first century blood
Is the new blood I reflect in my art
Inside my body I feel the pain
Still beating is my shattered heart

Though cautiously I walked to the
Edge I felt compelled to take the dive
Now I’m swimming for my life
Praying that I can survive

In the beginning my love for you
It burned like a wild fire
But the words of your truth were
Spoken from the mouth of a liar

Now I feel the pulling forces from the
Gravity of deep Space black holes
And we can’t recover from our mistakes
The power is lost from the controls

And when I’m alone
I dream that I can runaway
The damage is unmendable
And I’ve no reason to stay

The copper bullets fired are just as
Deadly as lead in the battle we fight
I’m praying for the way out, can
Anyone show me the light

Or has it been exterminated and for
The rest of my life I’ll be unwhole
And I’ll drift through life a broken
Man with a River’s Soul

This is a poem using song titles from the
First CD of a band called The Warning.
The CD title is 21st Century Blood,
The Warning are three sisters from Monterey Mexico who fell in love with American Classic Rock and began playing their instruments and writing songs at a very early age. It’s Phenomenal when this CD was released the Bass player was 11, the Drummer
Was 14 and the lead guitar player was 16
They all do vocals and play Piano.
Black Holes is my favorite and the Drummer is singing and playing Piano.
They have Four CD’S out now
21st Century Blood
Queen Of The ****** Scene
Error
Keep Me Fed
I use the songs from the first CD and use them in order adding stuff for content and rhyme. Starting with the first song and ending with the last song.
Also using the last song for my title.

Resurrection

    It was the ultimate gift of Love
One man sacrificed for all mankind
You can search for other stories such
As this but there’s none you will find

If you don’t believe it’s your choice but
Can we agree that love is the message
With love there’s forgiveness and
Forgiveness frees us from wreckage

I may be a dreamer and maybe Naive
But I’m a believer in our Lord above
I don’t believe in fighting and I don’t
Believe every push deserves a shove

I don’t know the lines we draw
And the ones that others may cross
But when this happens ultimately
It’s the love that gets lost

I urge everyone that has reached
Their point of disconnection
To reconnect on the account and
Purpose of Jesus’s death and Resurrection

The Great Pretender

     I can be sitting right next to you
And I can be in my darkest place
You’d never know where my thoughts are
I’ve got an unreadable poker face

Go ahead and ask me how I’m doing
And even if I’m going through Hell
I’ll lift my head up high and smile
And say I’m doing well

Though I’ve been damaged
There’s still love in this heart of mine
There’s a light refusing to die
As it fights every moment to shine

When I wake up everyday
And the world hits me with its best shot
It may knock me to the ground
And I’ll smile and say is that all you got

You will never know the battle I’m
Fighting and I will never surrender
I can play the role better than the best
I’m The Great Pretender

My Ninth Brain

       Well I’ve procrastinated and
I’ve wept many of tears
I’ve dealt with it now literally
Almost for a good 15 years

It’s really just common sense
But it’s a manipulation of words
The phrases and ways of questioning
The creators are turds

Most of the stuff isn’t for me
There’s not a lot pertaining
I think it’s just how they avoid boredom
For them it’s entertaining

I’m getting certified for things I
Know Nothing about or need
I never retain the information
And the videos make my ears bleed

My employer is like a Master
Making me jump through hoops
It’s your typical micro management
It’s how they manage the troops

It’s like pulling teeth no lie
An agonizing throbbing pain
I dread getting on my laptop
To engage in My Ninth Brain

Savin Lives

       Out on the Streets for a living
The days of my youth are gone
When I’m out there surviving
Sometimes I feel I’m the only one

I don’t know what it is about me
If my presence is cause for alarm
Or if it’s my overwhelming aura
Of my gentleness and charm

But if you’re someone in heart distress
There’s no need for a crash cart
I’ll come to your rescue
And instantly revive your heart

There’s no need for Narcan or
An EpiPen or an AED
None of it is necessary
All you need is me

If you see me and view me as hideous
I could give you a fright
If you see my awesome handsomeness
Either will be a shock in your sight

But regardless either way my presence
Is the reason a heart revives
So everyday I’m out there
Is a day I’m savin lives

The Truth

      It’s your typical he said she said
It’s the same old song
Neither one of them wants to budge
Who’s right and who’s wrong

The information is iffy at best
They each have their side
There’s a willingness of reveal
And a sense for what they wish to hide

It’s the way of the world
There’s always a darkness and a light
Been that way through the ages
Good and Evil will always fight

I was always able to detect this
From a very early age
And there’s a secret I’ve learned
When drama takes the center stage

Like any storm or sickness
It just has to take its course
You can’t really fight the power
Of its devastating force

However you can stay vigilant
With a careful type of Sleuth
And as you search through the lies
Eventually you’ll find The Truth

A Boston State Of Mind

    Here I am a sixty three year old man
Listening to my rock & roll at my age
My teenage years always come flooding
Back to me though I’m in life’s third stage

My music still takes me back to a
Younger version of myself
So whenever I get a chance I’ll
Take something old off the shelf

I’ll dust it off and put it on
And let it take me back in time
Sometimes for my neighbors it may
Be too loud but that’s my life’s only crime

Especially when I open the windows
And turn it up when it’s eight in the morning
Sometimes I push the boundaries
Because my urges come without a warning

I’m known for my passion of KISS but
I listen to a variety you’d be surprised to find
Today I may be wearing a KISS shirt but
I’m in A Boston State Of Mind

LINGER

      As I wipe the tears from my eyes
Using only a swipe of my finger
It’s looks like a storm has arrived
And it seems this one will linger

There’s a heartache in the song
Hear the emotion of the singer
Nazareth words were true, love hurts
Hear the voice echo and linger

I always follow my heart
You know I’ve never been a thinker
Now my thoughts are overwhelming
And they continue to linger

Where did we go wrong is the question
As the song comes through my speakers
With my windows open my pain is
Releasing In the atmosphere to linger

Now I know why men drink but
I’ve never been much of a drinker
I don’t think I’ll ever get over you
This darkness is gonna LINGER

The Laws Of Physics

     According to Science, the Laws of
Physics Cannot Be inverted
In fact nothing is free will or choice
Everything is predetermined

As humans everyday decisions we
Think are free will Are not our own
You think you chose to order a pizza
Nope you’re just a robot drone

With this logic can there be
Punishment for crime
Is our life meaningless and
Is it just wasted time

If our actions are not our own
We cannot be held accountable
There can be no consequences
If we’re not the ones responsible

This is where Science crosses the line
And I am one of its biggest critics
Theory or fact I still disagree with
The Laws Of Physics

Silent Night

    In the darkness, alone I sit
With just the flicker of one candle lit
As random thoughts flow, through my mind
Let my words be thoughts refined

No matter your troubled heart
Don’t let your life fall apart
Settle yourself deep therein
Find your strength and peace within

Take yourself to a secluded nook
Close your eyes,visualize a peaceful brook
For yourself take some time
In the night find beauty sublime

When your world has gone awry
And your sorrow escapes in tears you cry
Let Jesus be that flicker of one candle lit
Open thy heart and eyes, and focus on it

You will feel his holiness
His warm embrace and gentle kiss
And take that heart felt flight
And you’ll know the joy of a silent night

Re Sharing

Lucidity

       In this world we live in today
Some would say its lost its innocence
But there’s a split  decision and some
Would say we’ve reached a deliverance

Everything is so confusing,Thin
Is the line between right and wrong
The clouds of darkness are thick
And there’s a sadness in nature’s song

It’s harder today than ever before
To walk life’s balance beam
Political Correctness is just a cover
For the left’s corruption scheme

There’s no solution to the problem
We’re past the point of no return
We’ve taken all the lessons from the
Past and we’ve refused to learn

As the world turns each moment
It slips more into instability
The human race stands on the edge of
Sanity desperately trying to keep our Lucidity

Invisible Man

       You live your life, working for the
Man clocking in and clocking out
You ask yourself what’s the purpose
What’s this life all about

Sometimes you just want to get away
Somewhere far across the sea
Just to escape the darkness that surrounds
You but a loaded gun couldn’t set you free

You’ve seen your heroes on
The big silver screen
You wish you could be like them
But you’ll never be that keen

You might feel a need for praise
That you have never gotten
But deep down you’re just hoping
To be someone that’s not forgotten

When your life on Earth is through
And it’s put under a careful scan
Will the results clearly indicate that
You were more than an Invisible Man

Light House

Light house, light house for all sailors to see
A beacon to warn the dangers of the shore
In the thickest of fogs or stormy nights
You will keep them safe for ever more

Built to last on a hill or cliff
You will stand strong and true
Lives are saved every night
When your light comes shining through

Warning, warning you’re getting to close
The rocks beneath me are jagged and large
They are capable enough to sink your ship
Whether it be an ocean liner or barge

I was put here to shine for you
I won’t let you down
As long as you heed the warning
And turn away or turn around

Thank you light house
With your light so bright
Helping all ships at sea
Sail safe in the night

You are a hero to all
Who’s lives that your light saves
You deserve all recognition
Accolades and praise

Black Diamond

      When you look into the mirror
Do you see your own reflection
When you reach into your soul
Can you feel any connection

Are you the person that everyone
Sees, are you as happy as it seems
Have you settled for your life
Or do you still have dreams

Are you in control of your own destiny
Are you the one at the Helm
Or have you surrendered your heart
To a power from another Realm

I’ll never know the depths of your
Feelings or the reason for your dark light
I’ll never know the path you walk
Or the many Demons you fight

You’re such a Toxic soul
Never to have been Enlightened
Your like a Jewel in the rough
You shine like a Black Diamond

A Candle Without A Wick

       You’re a candle without a wick
You listen to the voices in your head
You hear the Demons whisper
You’d be better off dead

You’re your own worst enemy
You’re the reason for your own pain
You walk through life without an umbrella
And subject yourself to the poison rain

You’ve lost the ability to feel love
And pleasure in your everyday
You’d rather hide in the shadows
And just simply fade away

In a world full of people, you can’t
Imagine someone else who feels the same
You think God has forsaken you and
The Devil knows your name

You tell everyone, when it comes to a
Good life you drew the shortest stick
Everyone needs to know that no one knows
Darkness like A Candle Without A Wick

I’m Too Slow For Breakfast

    I love breakfast, a good omelette
Or eggs over easy and some toast
Add sausage and hash browns too but
Sausage biscuits and gravy, I love most

But breakfast comes early and fast
And now I’m lucky if I get brunch
Time has slowed me and more times
Than not I usually just get lunch

It’s a sad, sad thing and  sometimes
I feel like a loser instead of a winner
I hate not getting a morning breakfast
So sometimes I have it for dinner

My dilemma is real for the morning
It just moves so very fast
I can’t get motivated and time
Doesn’t stop and mornings don’t last

To sum it up with my poetic description
Breakfast mornings are a swift tempest
I’m like an aged slimy slow moving snail
And I’m Too Slow For Breakfast

Well I’m spreading the News
It’s time you’ve heard their music
I tell ya you’ve got Nothin To Lose

From their first, Twenty First Century Blood
To their second Queen Of The ****** Scene
Followed by Error and Keep Me Fed
They’re consistent with their edge so Keen

It’s like a slap in the face followed
By a shocking gentle KISS
More exciting than a Roller Coaster Ride
You’ll lose yourself in the Abyss

The ladies Daniela, Paulina and

Feel the warmth of their Automatic Sun
And the heart break of Black Holes

The deteriorating structure of Rock & Roll
Has long been in need of restoring

His Perfection

     I really love Scientists and their
Knowledge of many things
As they tell us about the planets
Like Saturn and her rings

I love them telling us about Jupiters
Big Storm and about the red planet Mars
I enjoy the mysteries of Black Holes
And learning the ingredients for Stars

They amaze me with their genius
It’s really second to none
But the Big Bang Theory is still
Missing the Smoking Gun

They have given us information
That’s now universally known
Our existence is only possible
Because of the Goldilocks Zone

What amazes me even more is how they
Still cannot make the Connection
Still denying our Creator when they
Can Plainly See His Perfection

Everlasting Butterflies

    There’s a story of love in my
Poetry I’ll try to summarize
It happens to be all of the Cliches
The weak knees and Butterflies

Love at first sight, I know it’s corny
But I tell you no lies
It’s like a fairy tail complete with
Unicorns, Rainbows and those Butterflies

When it’s true love, it’s hard to explain
Every time I look into her eyes
I get so lost and I’m speechless and
You guessed it those Butterflies

There’s Nothing even the best poets
Could write any words of surprise
Because love is a feeling deep inside
Perfectly described as Butterflies

The fluttering of the wings inside the
Stomach cannot be explained otherwise
You know you’re falling as you get dizzy
And weak in the knees and those Butterflies

It’s a feeling so strong that nothing
Can destroy and it never dies
Married for forty one years, yes still
Those Everlasting Butterflies

The Knife In My Back

    Hey you Marion, a charade you are
I trusted you a friend
You did what you did and you’re
Gone and I’m still here in the end

Everybody saw a country pumpkin
You were wonderful in their eyes
Nobody ever knew the evil beneath
The skin of your elaborate disguise

Then one day it came to be
I was able to get a closer look
I saw the Demon inside as clearly
As the illustrations in a book

You didn’t like yourself for your slip
So you tried quickly to ruin me
I didn’t get a chance to expose
The Truth and let everyone see

You decapitated my reputation with
One drop of the blade of a guillotine
Then you disappeared without a trace
Never again to be seen

So I was just the last victim
From another cowardly attack
I survived the damage done but
I’ll never forget The Knife In My Back

Relentless Rebel

    When there’s a dark past of alcohol
Abuse,chaos, violence and flashing lights
Mental problems and self hate
And dysfunctional family fights

As a teenager you tend to fight back
Out of desperation and need
But you’ll never be able to avenge
All the blood you had to bleed

You become a relentless rebel
You’ve got a troubled soul
You have anger issues and
You turn to drugs and Rock & Roll

You spend a lot of time as a loner
Like a survivalist in the woods
Love comes into your life but
Unfortunately you’re damaged goods

Then one day God sends you an Angel
And there’s a fading of the words of steel
And soon after you notice the same of the
Scars you thought would never heal

Today you have the love of Jesus and
You’ve torn up the contract with the Devil
You leave your past behind but there’s
Still a trace of the Relentless Rebel

The Fall

       Once there was a routine of going
To bed and turning out the light
There was a dream I dreamt
Each and every night

Like a hero I would suddenly appear
And save a beautiful damsel in distress
But ultimately she would save me from
Myself and my heart of a shattered mess

I would fall in love and the healing would
Begin and a smile would return to my face
Pleasure would replace the pain
Leather would transform into lace

And now the dream has become a
Reality because I’ve found you
Now every day I have to pinch myself
Because I can’t believe that it’s true

Everything is more than I could imagine
From first sight and our first kiss
I pray that I’m not in the twilight zone
Suddenly to be removed from my bliss

Leaving me with a heart pierced several
Times by a shoemaker’s Awl
Slowly dying from a loss of life because
I couldn’t survive The Fall

On The Wings Of A Butterfly

     My mother passed away in May
Of nineteen ninety one
I still miss her very much and
It’s still hard to believe she’s gone

But I believe in God and Angels and I
Believe that Angels watch over me
So in my mind she is A New Angel
And life is as it’s supposed to be

She loved Spring, it was her favorite
Time of Year and it made her smile
But seasons come and go and so
Her joy was only for a short while

My birthday is the first day of Spring
In March but it’s April showers
That brings the rain and gives us
The beautiful May flowers

So as the April showers fall down on
Me there’s sad and happy tears I cry
And to comfort me she sends her love
On The Wings Of A Butterfly

🩸On The Wings Of Blood🩸

    Ancient stories throughout time
Tell of Evil, blood and death
The horror and fear that some
Have suffered before their final breath

The legend of a man who sold his soul
To the Devil for love
Then one day he rebelled against the
Devil and push came to shove

The Devil saw himself in the Man
When He had rebelled in the Lord
He knew he could **** the Man
Easily with one slice of his sword

But the Devil decided that the
Man would suffer and never die
For eternity the Devil would take pleasure
Listening to the Man as he would cry

The Man would be cursed to have an
Insatiable thirst never to be quenched
Even if he was beneath and eternal
Shower and was forever drenched

The thirst would be for blood
The sensation forever galvanizing
His powers over his victims
Is paralyzing and hypnotizing

Tonight The night air is crisp,the clouds
Obscure the Moon, the wind is brisk
The fog lingers across the land
Going outside would be of great risk

For the Evil one preys tonight
He strikes like a scud
The air will be filled with echoing screams
As death flies in On The Wings Of Blood

I stole the title from a book
But I don’t know anything else about the book and just assumed by the title that it was
About Vampires. I hope there’s no copy rights
Infringement if so I will take it down.
I assure everyone that the poem is completely original for I didn’t read one word of the book. My sister in law had a copy of the book laying out when I went to visit.

Thunderstorm

  We've been avoiding each other,
trying not to collide
But there's only so many
Places we can hide

Like a typical spring day
The cold clashing with the warm
The clouds are rolling in
I think it's gonna storm

(C) Like a thunderstorm
When we fight
You're like lightning when
You strike
With your burn coming as
Quick as a flash of light
And I'm like thunder when
I come down
I can smash you as I stand
My ground
And our love shakes apart
As we break each other's heart
In the wrath of a thunderstorm

Why does it always have
to Be this way
It's like we're walking on
Broken glass every day

I come home to you
I don't know what to say
I get this feeling that it's
Just a game you play

(C) Like a thunderstorm
When we fight
You're like lightning when
You strike
With your burn coming as
Quick as a flash of light
And I'm like thunder when
I come down
I can smash you as I stand
My ground
And our love shakes apart
As we break each other's heart
In the wrath of a thunderstorm

(Music interlude,solo)

(Bx2) With all of the wind
And rain
We've suffered to much
Damage and pain

(Cx2) (Bx2) End in Music

When I’m In Heaven

        Everyday there’s a mindset
There’s always a tomorrow
But life can be taken in an instant
Leaving behind a trail of pain and sorrow

I’ve lived a life and still
I feel I’ve got a life to live
The Lords gift I did receive
And of myself I give

When I was young I was
Full of energy and fire
But now I’m sixty three
And I just want to retire

I’m done with work and I want to
Enjoy living while I’m still alive
But the laws for social security
Says I must wait until sixty five

There’s talk on table now they’re
Thinking of raising it to sixty seven
The way things are going I’ll be applying
For my SS When I’m In Heaven

Fortissimo

       I’ve written music is my mistress
I’ve told you that I love her so much
When I’m down and feeling low
My lady music has the healing touch

She knows when to just
Hold me and let me cry
Or pick me up and spin me around
But she never passes me by

She knows when to be mellow
And take it easy and slow
She knows how to move me
And go with the flow

Sometimes I just need to
Release the animal from the cage
Jump in the air and scream
Like a Rock Star on the stage

I can honestly say I appreciate her
Romantic caressing Pianissimo
But my favorite lady is the
One that Rocks me Fortissimo

Unseen Reality

     Since the beginning and eternal
In the realms of time and space
The battle for souls rages on as
Physical death constantly takes place

So it was written so it shall be done
Good verses Evil Earth, Heaven & Hell
In the words of the ancient text
It says that Good will prevail

Jesus was Crucified on the Cross
The Blood was Shed
Nothing was Left undone
No words were left unsaid

You can stand your own ground
You can hold steadfast and deny
As the final hour continues to grow near
Where will you be when things go awry

I’ve put my Faith in the written word
I have chosen Jesus and the Lords Decree
It’s time for you to open your eyes and
Let them see the Unseen Reality

Heavy Sigh

      I’m just every day people
I’m just trying to get by
When life knocks me down
It sets me back, I won’t lie

But I get back up, it’s all I can do
Ain’t got no time to dwell or cry
Each day I succeed or I fail
But each day I still try

I’ve learned some lessons and
I put effort into making them apply
I always try to remember
I’m under the watch of God’s eye

He’s taught me that the past is gone
And every hello will have a goodbye
Forgiveness is the key and
I must strive to be a good guy

We must carry on and praise
The Lord in our Heavenly Sky
For it’s inevitable we all experience
Our joys and an occasional Heavy Sigh

I’m No Charlemagne

     My name is Charles
AKA Chuck But I’m not great
At age sixty three sometimes
I walk with an unsteady gait

Sometimes I get down on myself
But I can’t explain why
Sometimes I am proud to be me
Can’t please everyone but I try

When I’m working I work hard
I always try to be the best
But I am only human and in life
Sometimes I fail the test

I always ask myself
What would Jesus do
I don’t always comply
My evaluation is under further review

Sometimes I speak my mind
Your approval I’m not seeking to gain
Though I try, I know I fall short of
God’s glory and I’m No Charlemagne

To Be

       To be or not to be
Every day is a choice you see
To be or not to be
It’s a choice made easily

To be or not to be
One who is kind and friendly
To be or not to be
Or to be mean in great degree

To be or not to be
One who values integrity
To be or not to be
Or one without values despicably

To be or not to be
One who handles things with sensitivity
To be or not to be
Or one who handles things carelessly

To be or not to be
One who is Devilishly or Godly
To be or not to be
And Godly is how I choose To Be

Under A Blood Red Moon

     He was born into Evil
His mother a Witch of darkness
His father one of the Devil’s Sons
This could easily explain his Hardness

He was tall dark and handsome
He was always dressed in black
The people of the town only
Knew him as Master Jack

His reflexes were amazingly quick
He could sense another man’s fear
In fact all of his senses were powerful
Even the softest whispers he could hear

He secluded himself in a shack at the
Edge of the forest near a black lagoon
But if he came into town you could
Always find him at the Saloon

He was a natural gun slinger and it’s
Said there were many men he’s killed
For many men tried to face him but
They were unfortunately unskilled

He fell in love with Lila a beautiful
Woman and vowed to change his ways
For a brief moment in time he lived
In blissful and happy days

One night a stranger from afar came
To shoot the legend and watch him die
But Lila intervened and the bullet pierced
Her heart and Jack began to cry

He swiftly killed the stranger and once
Again secluded himself in his shack
As the story goes it was the last of
Him for he never came back

They say the fog is thicker in that
Forest near the Black Lagoon
And you can hear Master Jack cry out
For Lila at night Under A Blood Red Moon

There’s supposed be
A Blood Red Moon tonight

Separate Ways

     Was it all just wasted time
Everything that we’ve been through
Once together now worlds apart
Our hearts broken In two

Was our love like teenage puberty
Just an awkward passing phase
Leaving behind our love to memories
And going our separate ways

How did we get to where we are
What happened to the passion and desire
Once there was spark for the flame
Now there’s no fuel for the fire

Our lives had a future so bright
Full of promise, forever and always
Now the journey is in shadow & darkness
As we go our separate ways

Don’t you remember how we touched
Those hand holding morning walks
And our sleepless nights killing time
With laughter and bedroom talks

The world that was once filled with
Color is now just shades of gray’s
I’m lost without direction
Now we’ve went our Separate Ways

The Color Of Night

    I woke up this morning to the
Sound of the birds as they sing
And for a brief moment I had that
Fuzzy feeling of spring

When everything is Sunshine &
Roses I’m walking in the rain
My Happiness got left behind like
Lost luggage on a midnight train

My heart has an empty void and
I’m lost in foggy haze I can’t explain
I’m angry and I’m sad and I just
Want to scream but I refrain

My brother Steve has passed away
And I feel I’ve been stripped of joy
He’s probably up in Heaven trying to
Teach the Angels the words to Rapid Roy

I should be celebrating my Birth
And though I know I’ll be alright
At the moment I’m morning his Death
And wearing The Color Of Night

YOUR IDIOCY

      I’m gonna take a moment here
Of my own personal time
To write a quick little PSA
In a special little rhyme

Now I know the title is crude but
Sometimes crude has its place
So this is why I have to send this
Message like I’m in your face

Most of you out there do what’s right
And with driving etiquette you comply
So disregard this for when it
Comes to you this does not apply

When driving we use our lights
At Dusk and at Dawn
And definitely in the dead of night
And when our wipers are on

Your lights are not necessarily
So that you can see to drive
But most importantly they are
So others see you and stay alive

So I hope you learned something
From these words of my poetry
It’s really my biggest pet peeve
The world is tired of YOUR IDIOCY

Devil Manipulation

     Let’s take a moment and have a
Rational and Civilized conversation
This will constitute your full attention
And requires your participation

I’m not someone who requires your
High percentage of Education
And I won’t concentrate on the
Differences of our Generation

I agree that everything in life
Deserves a thorough examination
And for centuries upon centuries
Science still continues to deny Creation

Yes I’m aware that the all religions
Present their own interpretation
As I continue to live my life based
Upon my own experience and observation

I see the Devil and his desire to
Come between us and create separation
And he’s effortlessly able to accomplish
This with very little coordination

If you just take a moment to listen to
My sample of this simple demonstration
You just may very well see the truth
And come to some type of revelation

I don’t want this to be about politics
But the Devil used it for his adaptation
So now here we are in a Trans Gender
Identity Crisis and a loss of Salvation

It’s a battle of darkness and light
The Devil has proven his innovation
And the people of Trans Gender
Simply believe it’s their right of Liberation

Some would argue that I’m among the
Ones pushing for our isolation
But I’m really just wanting clear minds
To put this under further investigation

I don’t believe that Apes are our ancestors
But I do believe in a type of Evolution
Like tapping into our entire brain but
Trans Gender isn’t this transformation

The presence of Good and Evil is obvious
And this is a perfect representation
My Rhyme for this is never ending but I
Will by saying this is Devil Manipulation

Master Of My Brain

     I know what it’s like to just
Want to be alright
I know what it’s like to just
Want to be free from the fear of night

I know what it’s like to just
Not want to feel perfect in the pain
And I know what it’s like to just
Not want to go insane

I know what it’s like to just
Feel so alone
I know what it’s like to just
Shiver to the bone

I know what it’s like to just
Want somewhere to hide
And I know what it’s like to just
Come to peace with suicide

I know what it’s like to just
Constantly walk beneath the rain
I know what it’s like to just
Have Satan as the Master Of My Brain

Loves Whisper

        Loves Whisper
It’s soft like a baby’s skin
Like the feel of silk
Gentle and warm like a Summer Breeze
Comfortable like fully fluffed feather
Pillow, suddenly you’re in tune with
The vibrations and ways of nature
Like the leaves turning to the rain
The wonderful relationship of the Honey
Bee and the flower it’s like a lovely
Blessing that’s hard to explain
It’s like trying to describe a Butterfly KISS
Or floating on a cloud because there’s nothing we can compare it too
It’s like seeing everything with Kaleidoscope
Eyes and walking beneath glitter dust
Skies and when it’s right time stands
Still and forty years later you find yourself
Still under the spell of Loves Whisper

Screaming Soul

      I heard a story but In today’s
World I don’t know if it’s a truth or a lie
But I guess it doesn’t really matter
The moral of telling it is reason why

When I heard of this story, I thought
To myself it needed to be re told
It’s the tragedy of a boy named
John Bolaware, he was just 16 years old

At his age he thought he was invincible
He was living his life in the fast lane
And this story of his demise is both
Very tragic and quite insane

The year was 1984 and he was
Full of life and revel
The music was loud and the song
Was Van Halen Runnin With The Devil

In a car with his friends traveling at
A very high rate of speed feeling free
They lost control of the vehicle
And went off the road and hit a tree

Hearing this I thought about the Stairway
To Heaven and The Highway To Hell
The promise and truth of Jesus and
The promise and lies the Devil has for sale

When the Police arrived on the scene
The radio was still loud with Rock & Roll
They snapped a picture just in time to
Capture the boys Screaming Soul

The moral of the story is we never know
Our fate or final day so get on the right
Path while you still have a choice.

Multiple Personalities

     We all have two personalities
Even if unconsciously unaware
One Knows the good and is usually
Dominant and one we forbear

We present our softer side
On more of a routine basis
Occasionally our inner Demon
Surfaces proving we have two faces

This can be troublesome as we
Struggle with our two sides of contrary
And the reality of this can be
At times really scary

I often tell people Angel or Demon
Depends on how you approach me
So choose wisely it may trigger the
One you don’t want to see

In rare and extreme cases there
May be mass casualties
When someone releases the Demon
Of my Multiple Personalities

Molly’s Song

     She’s a troubled soul and she thinks
She’s the only one with a woeful plight
The path she walks is illuminated
With a persistent dark light

She dreams of a better tomorrow
But she lives in yesterday
And she’s always oblivious to
The blessings of today

She’s tortured by her anxiety
And the voices of her mind
And she’s constantly searching
For something she can never find

Impossible is her ability to be happy
And it’s beyond being an absurdness
She can only find her comfort
When she’s surrounded in darkness

She’s created her own prison
Her sentence is lifelong
And Heartbreaking are the lyrics
And melody of Moly’s Song
