Role Playing With Fire

Fact and fiction
Role play with fire
Black is now white
Truth now a liar

Shall I be silent
Blindfold my tears
Bury my head
Dismiss all my fears

Shall I do nothing
Sit on my fists
Ignore all the hatred
That surely exists

Shall I be deaf
Cotton my ears
Block out the drumbeat
Of doom in the air

If I see something
Shall I say something
Or just walk on by
Ignore what’s occurring

Shall I self censor
Let truth expire
While Fact & fiction
Role play with fire

Rain

Rain
Dripping wet
Tires spray
Drip drop drip

Puddles splash
Wipers swish
Colorform leaves
Stick stick stick

Signals shine
Mirrored roads
Raindrops fall
It pours n pours

Coffee brews
Slippers donned
Rain rain rain
All day long

Knight Dreams

Walk with me
In my dreams
Tell me all
Of everything

I’ll reply
With a smile
Then we’ll walk
And reconcile

Stroll along
To our song
Talk of things
Of years now gone

Reminisce
With our lips
Wouldn’t that be
Marvelous

I’m your Knight
You’re my Queen
We can meet
In my dreams

Amorous Odyssey’s

We’re for each other
It’s plain to see
All our countless
Mutuality’s

Like locknecked swan’s
Swooning on a pond
We’ll sing together
As we float along

We’re for each other
That , there’s no doubt
We always know
Just what we’re talking about

We’re puzzle pieces
Not quite the same
But, us together
Make a burning flame

We’ll hold our hands
Then share our hearts
And keep it steady
While love lights a spark

We’ll be more epic
Than Love Story
Set our sights on
Amorous Odyssey’s

Popeye

I’m a ruffian
I’m unrefined
Still unpolished
What’s mine is mine

I’m a ruffian
An un-tumbled stone
Got rough edges
So I live all alone

I’m a ruffian
Like Popeye says
"I am what I am,
And that’s all that I am.”

Awakenings

Waking thoughts
Fields are clear
Morning’s harvest
Reap idea’s

Grab a keyboard
Grab a pen
Or grab a ***
But start digging

Morning moments
Nurture notions
At this time
Our thoughts are potent

Love Song

I want to write a love song
On what I feel inside
I want to say I love you
In ways that make us cry

I want to sing it out
All my working days
Until I head back home
In your arms again

I want to show my love
In ways you’ll know for sure
Just like a waiting puppy
Just sitting by the door

I want to write it all down
On all you mean to me
And it will be our love song
As long as love will be
