I wanna touch
Your face
Ungloved
I wanna smell your breath
With you mask
Off
It is more treacherous
Than a storming sea
It is more dangerous than a
Waring Family


No one knows
None are out and about
I would not risk so much
For just hanging out
We are both pale
No matter what the light
It is the pallor of loneliness
Only you do I trust
We now have a pact


Against those we were to guard.


I undress and
Close the door
Ike E Davis Apr 2020
It
Was
a
relief
She
Is not suffering now
Photo's and memories
Shoved in closet shelves
Pictures of us
And of dead relatives
How many forgotten
Graves?
To sea, with her remains
Even if it
Is
An extra charge?
To the coast
We'll dump her ourselves
Lots of dumping
To be done
Loads of stuffed toys
Old plates,
Refrigerator magnets
Which
I hate
My Mother looked so young
In these old photos
What year was that?
I ask ....
No one knows
Ya see it's just me
My family has gone
And I'm here cleaning
Up
Ike E Davis Mar 2020
Subjected to restrictions
Expected to carry the line
All I need is a saddle
A bit so I can't complain.
Lights on
Lights off
Time of clocks
Is gone
Early to bed
Stubborn at rise
I rub the sleep
From my eyes
Potato in the ***
Fresh water still runs
When there is no water
There will be no need
For guns
I'll respond
I promise
To yeaee
And
Halt
And other threats
Don't hurt anyone
Else
Head down I take my lap
Freedom
At what cost
Ike E Davis Mar 2020
Oh she's all I need
I know she knows
And I hope she won't
Leave me when she
See's


(Chorus)


I may be ordinary now
I vanish in a crowd
In time I'll burn
Like a flame
I won't be ordinary
One day
,,,
She must
move on
She's out lived her stay
It's far better
now
Since we've parted
ways
We won't end at goodbye
Since we can't be friends
I can't be ordinary
If you think this must end
(Chorus)
One more  chance
I'll dumb down to stay
I'd rather give my all now
To be more than
Ordi...
nary !
Ike E Davis Feb 2020
There was little chance of all of us
Being here today
We are all so busy running
Our devices and our cars
Yet here we are
Look around to one another
Say hello
Ask
Are you well
Its genuine
To be kind
It's being part of humankind
Aren't you glad you came down?
Love
is in the crowd
No need for Pointing fingers
He
she
they
may not be
The same
Who am I
To pass out labels
So don't label me
Walk a mile in these shoes
You'll never throw rocks
If glass houses you
Can you feel it now
Love is in the crowd
Love is in
The crowd
Give to others
Like you hope
to
Receive
The true gift is
Giving
the crowd
Might agree
Can we all agree somehow
That love
That love
That love
Is in the crowd

Ladies and Gentlemen
Lift your heads
Mr. Lucky is with us again
He's had ten thousand shots to his name
And not a one has addled his brain
He's ****** down a truck load of beer
And yet look at him
Standing there
ready to cheer
Oh he's quite a man
Just ask him
he'll tell you so
Why
he's a saint among sinners
Drinking wine ,
that's sanctimanial
He'll give you the shirt off his back
And tell everyone how kind he was
While committing the act
Oh I must say
he's surely Lucky
Having drank such mass amounts of
*****
And not having so much as a
Pooch
A Lucky man Indeed
Mr. Person....al....ity
just add
Alcohol
you'll see
He'll slur his words and get
Overly loud
He'll be the only real man
In the crowd
he will cheat on his wife and ignore his daughter
all for another glass of
liquid manure
Mr. Lucky indeed,  
Pay your tab when you leave.

Our President assassinated
Beale Airforce base obliterated
This was the main radar station for western
States United
A plague released
Not from nature
It was engineered
and developed
Star force a joke?
It was designed to keep our
Satellites protected.
Yet computer viruse pulled
Them from orbits projected
Now leaderless no communication
I could here jets and bombs go off
At the nearest military installation
Water shut off
Electricity gone
The cities began to devour themselves
No need for a bomb
I hoped my daughter could get home
Just to be safe with me and mom
I had a gun.
Would I use it?
To protect my family
I would save them and not
Lose it
Locals begin to cannibalize other houses and
Resources
when you only have one gun
You learn to hide and use gorilla warfare
Courses
We managed many did not
We wander a bit to keep our enemies
From finding us out.
Boy I wish I hadn't been naive
I would **** for fresh water
And a bit of cheese
We have become like RATS
