Canadian I am a retired shop teacher who has a poetry web site but I am only an amateur poet as I am only an amateur web developer. I am a fan of Elvis. His singing has helped me out more than once.
Who is it that talks to me On a daily and steady basis? Who is it that puts ideas in my head And offers me the strength to see them through? I believe it's my spirit My true soul mate, my intimate twin, And when it blends into my consciousness Makes me understand there's a God in me.

The God in Me

I wouldIf I could be there .. let you know with my eyes that all will be well, just sit with you .. I wouldIf I could be at your side take your pain, caress the hurt, kiss your tears with my hand on your heart .. I would ~

I would ..
It took but one look To stop me in time; It was as if fate Rang a special chime To alert my heart That true love was here, My eyes locked on you Shedding a small tear, I was so happy Just knowing at last You'd help me forget The loves in my past.

True Love
He entered this world but to be deprived Through conscious mind as a twinless twin; A child then teen driven with mother's pride To defeat daily taunting and chagrin. His character mold based on poverty Provided persuasion by song and verse; He revealed true meaning of liberty While elite declared he a wicked curse. Modern lifestyle assured he'd not bypass Drug induced pain and sinful temptations; But with early death, he seemed to amass Rightful honour and esteemed ovations. His words should be played on neon marquee, “I'm just the singer who wanted to be.”

Elvis
Seated round open fire, Treated by song and spirit, We watched the flying flames Disappear into the night. Silent sparks rose and drifted, Content with life so abrupt, Beckoning us to view Their dying moment of light.

Free America
Looks like tomorrow will be Another day of loneliness for me, We've danced the night till dim But my darling I'm not him, And life has dragged me along Into the world of your new song. So play it the way you must However I'll not return words of trust, For you have made it clear That you'd rather have him here, And I am just a tag-a-long Fixed in the world of your new song.

New Song
What do you say to a man Who has lost his heart Because his dream of life Was so torn apart. What do you say to the flowers Whose petals and odor so sweet Left a man begging love At her feet. What do you say to the world Where love and peace are so void Of any connection with religion. What do you say to the political king Who rules with the mighty button And dreams of everyone knowing Who is Boss. Well, I probably say zilch And go my walkabout way, Waiting until the day I will Mark an x within a circle And try again.

What Do You Say
Today was not the norm, I thought in ways so adrift That today would go in My calendar as an "Igot" I got today to thank for A connection with a special friend I got today as a writer By choosing words to keep the trend.
