2:00 A.M. I say amen
2:01 I jumped the gun
At 2:02 I ran to you
2:03 I know it a dream
But 2:04 I was out the door.
At 2:05 I’m were you lye
2:06 it seemed all fixed
But 2:07 I want to leaven
At 2:08 I just can’t wait
Come 2:09 we say goodbye
It went all black at 2:10
Then back to 2 A.M. again.
61

61
I can't help to think when I lay down my head. Every night in the dark, closing my eyes to see my thoughts.
Of being by you, up in Marie's bed.
I thought I could teach you and help you at least.
But I'm not the teacher, your much better; like a preast.  
I knew in that moment when your head squirmed to my arm.
I could love you all night.
******, it's the alarm.
Like my dreams, you are real. Nothing fake, I can feel. I'm so lucky, like i sold my soul and made a deal.
Pick your self up and continue my dear
I can't take only 60, give me 61 years
Adam Schwab Jul 2013
Like a west wind blowin
Floating over each vein on the leaves the tree holds
Like a east drawn sun
Shooting shiny shades of sunlight fun

Her voice so smooth and low tones
Every moan, every love able grown
Light brown hair, your warm piercing stare
Your worth more than anything

I won't learn from failing now
Cause I'm not loosing you
Won't let you be takin

Your worth more than anything
Adam Schwab Jul 2013
A rock I picked up at the bank of the creek.
Old and round as the water I took from the ground.
I placed it back down in search of one better
A flat one I see , as light as a feather

I creaked back my arm and to the side
And closed my eyes
And let it release from my fingers to let it glide

It bounced of the water, ten ripples it made.  
Scratched my reflection away

Now somewhere out there, just beyond that log.
Theirs something I touched
Me as I stand , soaking wet in the rain
I wonder who else, in the past did the same
Adam Schwab Dec 2012
My mind is bent with apprehension
You say it’s ended out of the blue
As your way out you forgot to mention
“I never even loved you”

So, Where do I begin, the turns never end.
Doors swing. Never Stop. The knobs don’t lock.
Unleash my thoughts to the musky air.
Just dust, you’re no longer there.

I’ve moved on to something new.
It never was me and you.
Swallow the key and forget the past.
Just keep walking and believe.
Write new thoughts that seem to last.
Nor break nor bend. This is the end.
Adam Schwab Dec 2012
Driving down route sixty five. Radio blaring and having a good time.
A sticker of mason in front of my truck.
A sign from my great grandfather to have good luck.
I never meet him but I know him like mike
He’s a man I know I’d like
Relax for a bit near the fire with friends. I never want this night to end.
Clean the pile and a bottle or two. I can’t sleep without noticing you.
The flames rise and fly to the sky’s. And wonder how high that heat can soar.
Up to the heavens and in through that door.

Bill was a worker, it’s easy to see. My father’s grandfather is right next to me.
Could fix a pile of rubble with some nails and twine.
Centuries later his reputation is a wicked nice guy.
As the wind blows through me like whiskey and wine.
I somehow know that it’s my time.
The year has come for greatness to rise.
Cause I’m the great grandson of that hell of a guy.
So ill raise my glass up high in the air.
Then Say a toast to old bill and sit right here.
Adam Schwab Dec 2012
Oh blue eyed baby accept this ring.
Make me the happiest human being
5 years have passed and our quarrels far dwindled
But our fire still burns from the pile we kindled
10 years and 10 more; I will always adore
My blue eyed baby, forevermore

“Till death do us part”, we said long ago
Now 50 years past right out the window
My eyes start to twitch and twinkle with mime
But my love for you only grows deeper with time
As my thoughts start to dwindle and turn into chime
I’ll always remember, my blue eyed baby will always be mine

Your memories fading and hair color too
And our hearts are still red and your baby eyes blue
Grasp tight of my hand and don’t let it slip
I feel my life tripping out of its tick

The morning rays shine through the pains of our room
In our beds we await for our call to our tombs
The time is not far; it’s coming soon
But the blues eyes of yours baby will continue to bloom
Forever and ever.
I mean it
**I do.
Adam Schwab Dec 2012
I have so much to give and so much ahead of me but I don’t know how to use it.
How do I know what’s right with failure calling my name out to quit.
So much greed and conniving dolts of beings.
When will they awaken from their chimera?
When you can’t keep their guaranteeing  
But the only lucidity is their hysteria

How can we forget all hatred when it’s so salient?
They know nothing of adoration and eminence
Amusing  how minds think so adolescent
I’ll take the ravine ones find umbrage
And sprout through the cracks as a flower
Out through earths rusted cage
Adam Schwab Jan 2014
Listen up all you girls and boys

Oh and men with gloves and handguns as their toys

You better run for the hills before the night falls, it will burn you

And as the sun rise peeks above the shore you will hear me

Echoing the words that I said as my soul left it's body

"Times will turn
From how they
And we will learn
To be anything but par"

"But if you don't try
And I you don't see
It will be a goodbye
Just the same as me"

Sooo

Listen up all you girls and boys
Oh and men with gloves and handguns as their toys
You better run for the hills before the night falls ,cause it will burn you

And as the sunrise peeks above the shore You will hear me
Echoing
And repeating

Or at least I hope you will
Or at least I hope you will
Adam Schwab Jul 2013
Hey Jo lo dear
Hey j l dear

Can you hear me whispering
Hear me saying babe

Can you feel my touch
Feel my lips upon your neck

Are the words in your head
Ah , good or they bad
From past loves that were bad

Come on dear , my jL dear
I'm happy now, aren't you?

Eyes turnin red, and face turnin blue
I feel so far from you
And when you call me
Call me babe
I'm lost in rue

Your cotton candy eyes make my sweet tooth sting
Hot breath, ears are ringin

I surely do my lover
My Jo lo dear
My LJ dear

I love to watch you sleep
I love to watch you twitch
I feel so far from you dear
Call me babe
Adam Schwab Dec 2012
My eyes are getting tired now
I have many words to say but dont know how
Figures dance off my lampshade
The one of you will never fade
My mind tells me its to late
My heart says no and starts to break
I'm not that man i used to be
I want to show you the real me
To show you that my love is real
Oh, that crestfallen feel
Adam Schwab Dec 2012
I see through your soul. It’s aching with hurt. Camouflaged skin and a crippled rebirth
An angel of few that’s fallin to earth.
If only if only I could step in her light. And be known by her mind and saw through her sight.
I’d be that man to hold her tight. I don’t knowif it will but maybe it might.
So don’t walk around with feeling of hurt.
You’re an angel of few who’s fallin to earth

Don’t get discouraged when times get tough. Even if it feels like god has you in cuffs
Break loose of the chains that bind your path. He means no harm when showing wrath
But the men you been with are idiopaths

If only if only I could step in her light. And be known by her mind and saw through her sight.
I’d be that man to hold her so tight. I don’t know if it will but maybe it might.
So don’t walk around with feeling of hurt.
You’re an angel of few who’s fallin to earth

I question myself if feelings are true, I didn’t know that angel was you.
Few words can describe how I feel; when our fingers touched I knew love was real

Rose from the ashes of a crippled rebirth
A women I mean has fallin to earth
Forget all the losers with corny one line’s
Bound together by roses and vines.
An angel I love is finally mine
Adam Schwab Jan 2014
The screen door is screaming,
From the wind that is blowing

My head is spinning
My fear is surly showing

I knew it would come
The day that I left

Every memory we had
Pressing down on my chest

It makes you feel sad
And it makes you feel hurt

The one that you loved
Pushed you in the dirt

But I have to be strong and I have to be smart
If I make the wrong move
Theirs no clicking restart

And I can't escape from the feelings I had
And that I still have
Because I loved you

But now I feel un easy
My gut gets real queazy and my head starts to hurt
And regret is a big one
Makes me feel like a ****

Look at us now,
Were both in the dirt
Adam Schwab Jul 2013
One touch one pull of the door to my car
I'm diggin deeper as I slide up to see
It's hard to tell when your in the driver seat

What went wrong and why pick you
A life is gone
Weird what drugs make you do
What have I done

Ten years or maybe more
You slam, you scream out through the door
An empty hole tht you have dug
From the palms of your hands

You treat them as toys as I they are small
Swing it around like a rag doll

Was it pain or was it fate
That made you turn the key to on
Slow down, life can wait
Maybe you wouldn't be gone
Don't be irate

What went wrong and why pick you
A life is gone
Weird what drugs make you do
What have I done
What have I done

And like a spark to gas
You ended your life
Your final gasp

from that smoke came alot more tar
Clogged every sight that seemed to far
From the door of your car

I guess no one could see
But it's hard when it's you
In the driver seat

What have I done
Adam Schwab Mar 2013
A ten minute drive
To a place that I love.
Be thankful your alive and thank the good lord above .
Not many people travel deep to its place.
Get lost from society without a trace.
All you need is a pole and a little bit of faith
In hope of some fish will nibble your bait

My bobber dips and dangles my line
as the sun rays reflect off the water and shine
A strike of a bass has hit up my hope
Making it hard to contain and cope

Some fish  all day for the one to take home
But I'll wait longer for the one that is unseen
And when yours crumbles mine will be chrome
She swim through my heart with pure sanguine

For some it is hard to find what is fond
For silly young Adam, it's fish in a pond
Adam Schwab Jul 2013
For you

My Ice Berg mouth exhaled through the sky .
Blended with the clouds, the storm in passin by

The eye seems so far away, so distant from mine
Each flicker o lightning stay,  go tell your friends it's time.

Bring  the rumble, and all the rain
Make me tummble, make me go insane.

Don't refrain from your potential,
Let your Kenetic show.

Don't act like the child so nervous to
talk.
Be a preecher of sorts, don't make me walk to you.
Cause I have been walking my whole life.

For you
Adam Schwab Dec 2012
Fornication, manipulation, you’re unaware of the evil that I’m makin.
Sick to my stomach, I can’t sleep. Like every other night I’m in too deep.
Dug a hole too low I can’t climb out. Voices in my head say they’re a help.
But all they do is fill me with doubt. Only one person knows how I felt.
Rip pardoned from these burdens and scream and shout.
But fornication and manipulation. You’re unaware of the evil that I’m makin.
You’re a demon in makeup. So I drink it away. Bartenders fill up my cup.
In this pitiful world I sit.  But I’m only digging deeper someone help me back up.
Freedom. Down deep in my pit
Adam Schwab Dec 2013
I was 16 going on seventeen
Wanting more than I could have
Dreaming of places I never seen
But being held back from my dad

So I would sneek out with no shoes on my feet
Just makin sure that the floor wouldn't creek

He would always ask where I had went
How much gas was burnt , how much money was spent

Mother would cry and my father would glare
But my two older brothers never seemed to care


So I'm leaving this life , if you want to call it that

And I'm hoping one day when my words hit the air
That I'll make a good living, And won't loose all My hair

And I wish that my choice is the right one to make
So show me the way. Cause it's never to late

And those dreams that I had when I was young
Always Seemed to sleep right off my tongue

But I have forgotten them
But they have not forgot me

So give me more time
Just wait and see
Adam Schwab Feb 2013
How many times will I glance towards your way.
In hopes our eyes will meet among the crowd.
I have every word planned in rhythm from my name to a date and day, but somehow my throat zieses to say.

I don't wanna waist one more night lonely in my room in hopes that you will somehow find me.
This world it crumbles in hope of Fate but the move is mine it's plain to see.
Tomorrow ill be in your path once more , you make me wanna sing.
After a slip quick act of my heart I leap to your seat.
I say hello and you flash your ring., I frown and look at my feet. .. She'll be hard to beat.
The last few nights Lost in dream, don't know what to say.
"If you just would have glanced my way."
HUG
Adam Schwab Feb 2013
HUG
I can't recall what made me spark, that night at kyles left a mark.
A mark of a memory deep in my brain.
One simple second I couldn't refrain.

Your arms spread wide , as wide as the car.
And I grinned like I do at the beauty you are.

I looked deep in your eyes as I grazed down your hip.
I hesitated in fear that I would mess up or trip.
Two ends of a magnet our body's seemed to fuze.
So perfect the Angels we highly amused.
Dancing and hoping my heart seemed to beat.
Beating so fast to the hands ,so much heat, on on my neck.

So elegantly placed and fitted in feathered.,
Like a puzzle piece,  eaisly put back together.
Distance won't be any trouble you ****. Cause we have the most amazing hug.
Adam Schwab Feb 2014
Can't believe we have been together this long
We met in the summer and we would bike
And in the spring we would hike
The winter we would sled
And when it got to cold
We just layed in bed

When I brought you the cat
That was my first step
In dedicating myself to you
Bonded by a cat

Throwing freesbie  in the park
Giving kisses in the car
Making love in the dark


Making long trips
Holding our hands
Rubbing our lips
Being women and man

I feel like I been with you for so short
But it's been so long for me
I can see us in part
You and me
Starting a family In the larks

Thanking everything we have together
I love you forever
Adam Schwab Jul 2013
I sprawl out my back
On the deck underneath
The sky that is lit
Like a halo or wreath

Every star that appears as the time passes by
Flickers with fancy when it came to its end
And as I dream with my head towards the sky
I realize I'm nothing but a adolescent young guy

I say that I'm old
And I say that I'm smart
But look what they told
The stars far apart

"You may see them now "my grandpa would say
But you only see their yesterday

I never quite knew the words that he said
But now I know, the light is already dead

And I may be small
And I may not be smart
But I know that my life
Down here is quite sparse  

So ill shine down my love to every good soul
And good faith that I carry until I get old
But I'll never be smarter than the light that's up there
I don't wont to loose them, I just couldn't bare
Adam Schwab Jul 2013
Say goodbye through the crackly shield of my car .
The eyelids of mine so heavy as steel.
I'm tired and weak an I have drove to far
To a place that's far from real

Don't let your heavy wings pull you down , make you frill
Make you frown,
My angel

Let me lift you up, as you  have done since day 1
Make me a drug to heighten your mind
I can't be alone at this time

I saw your hurt, like a mirror
Movingly blood through veins I didn't know we're real
Somewhere deep, came a tear
Rubbed on your cheek, we were sealed

Don't be down, don't leave me down
Ill be your king, just give me the crown
Don't let your heavy wings pull you down, make you frail, make you frown,
My angel
Now
Adam Schwab Jul 2013
Now
I want to write you poems
Make you smile from my jokes
Kiss on your check and down to your throat

I want to hold your hand
In the bed, in our cars
Drive around to nowhere, walk around, gaze at stars .

Ill write you songs, and then play them
Leave be the rhythm or rhyme
As we walk in the park, throwin corny one lines

Take a swing , throw a catch
Put a ball in the fork o the tree
Let it rest , let it be eternity

Where have you been, so long I have waited
you make my eyes dilated .
Ill see you tomorrow in the sixth lecture row.
But for now ill write you poems
Adam Schwab Mar 2013
Words can't say or tell the beauty you are.
Each little trait you show are nothing but perfect
Your smiles so smooth and sharp and shiny as the stars
Each flowing strand of hair with the dimples in your cheeks, no defect

It lasted a quick second, each muscle in my body squirms with flection
I'm so nervous to speak my mind.
Ill love you More than all mankind.

That cute patterned plaid you
Wear  each time
Reflected from afar, its just like mine.

How soft you spoke and gentle you smirked
I fell for your heart, makes mine over worked.
Ill grow the courage by this coming spring.
And promise I won't be some little fling ,cause baby  you got me on a string

So give me a push like the good help the poor.
And give me a sign that you Want me too
I can't resist myselfAnymore.
I'm leaving the black and into the blue


Im not so nervous to speak my mind.
Ill love youMore than all mankind
I won't be just another fling
Give it a chance With a schmuck like me
cause baby you got me on a string
Adam Schwab Feb 2013
It was a Tuesday morning you accomplished the drive.
" almost here" you stated right before you arrived.
I awaited the door like a kid for a bus.
And took your hand up the stairs, just the two of us.

I cracked the door so it's just me and you.
Then I turned on will Ferrells love me **** tune.
I danced to the rhythm and you smirked to the rhyme.
And in that moment I knew you were mine.

I leaned in close with my hand on your back and you on the bed.
And the  necklace i gave  tied  to the base of your head.
The sun beamed through the dusty filled room.
As I slipped in a kiss, our hearts  made a boom

We trotted around to the window we stood .
It was hard to contain myself, I really should.
Right Up against you our lungs seemed to bind.
Each breath that we took , they seemed synchronized

But now I'm away and you are back home.
I'm tired of waiting, I feel so alone.
And when I feel down and distant from you.
I think of this time, when we were one and not two.
Adam Schwab Dec 2012
Summers arriving and the grass is growing.
Time is depriving on where we are going
Turn the hour glass. Forget the past. Where were going there’s no turning back.
We just keep driving. You say don’t stop.
I hit the gas and punch the clock.
Leave all your worries and troubles behind. Cause honey I told you all we have is time.
The endless trails of love and passion.
Let’s get lost in this dream and never wake up.
The devils nectar is sleighing and cracking.
Show him sparks, we give him us. Show him hate, we show him lust.
He shouts with anger and fistful rage.
We grab a corner and flip the page
Because our story is oh so fine.
So leave all your worries and troubles behind. Cause honey all we need is time!
You grab the keys, I leave our coats.
Before our lives break from our throats.
We might just make it out alive.
But hours are fast.
We end up here where we started.
Down in our tombs, run out of time.
Back to the past, our love is in fumes.
What I would give to be back with you.
Adam Schwab Feb 2013
5 times is enough and you gave  it to me.
But I messed it All up with some foreign disease.
tricked with my mind I was in a box like a mine .
Face covered in fake with  no escape
But someday ill travel back in time
Never let your love sleep and drip through like its slime


I find it hard to stray away from your heart
Every lyric that drips from tears to my car
When I pulled to your drive two summers ago
My throat seemed to seize from the words that I told.
I tripped on my speech like I child in snow
I'm a shallow man with a pitiful soul
Please , i beg don't tell me to go.

No calls or no letter I'm the one to
Blame
But my desk in my mind has thousands     In your name.
Don't think that I don't picture you hear
As I drowned
Into sorrow with a 2 dollar beer
Your eyes are burnt to the back of my brain
I've been tellin my self I'm still the same
But others around me say my spirit has changed
Lost the glow that I had from the laughter you brought
To the childish lessons to me that you tought
Back then I was blind from the sun that you are
Now your two hundred  miles to far

The drive makes no difference if I can't make it right
Make excuses to hide from my sub conscious fright

Maybe a poem or song could explain it to you
If I traveled through time
That theirs nothing this man won't do.
I have a pitiful soul
Adam Schwab Jul 2013
It's been so long since I had a smile
So big as it is
So long it took
It's been a while

I lost all hope and faith I guess
Mean to say with the cross on my neck

But everyone else, so dull and un true
Crazy to know somebody like you

I want you
I need you
And everything else

Your hair like a wave
Your eyes like a storm
Your voice like an angel
Makes me warm

Butterfly's tingle
Down deep in my gut

Dancing around
Making it hard to strut

Don't get me started on holdin your hand
Our kissing your lips

Open my arms like a fan
And pull you in
I'm one hell of a lucky man

Every one guy wants to play with the flock
But the clock of our lives doesn't stop at tick tock
So I'm holdin you close
So softly and slow

Till the sand of time
Tip over and flow
Ill be right beside you
And never let go
Adam Schwab Jul 2013
You want me now, as I do the same
Head spinning round round
I'm going insane

Butterfly's in my stomach
And a heavy heart

It's 40 after one and I just can't quit
You tell me you don't want it to be it

You ask what I pray
And it's easy to say
But my heart is nimble
I want you to stay

I promise my dear
My foot will hit the peddle like never before
And I'll no longer be here
But right at your door

And when I step out, my feet hit the ground
And ill be spinning you round round
Adam Schwab Dec 2013
With a flick of the wrist
And a tug on my sleeve
I pull back my fist
And my lungs start to heeve.

The way that you talk
With the way that you get
The stride of your walk
How you wiggle your hips

It's makes me feel warm
Like a fire in June
But not a good kind of warm
Suffocating in a tomb

When I see you I tense
Every muscle so tight
And every day since
I'll be up for the fight

I will not fall back into the hole that I dug
Cause I'm better than you
You slimmy old slug

So think twice before you spit on me
Cause I got the salt
Just think how easy it would be

To upend my bottle and end you
Your fault
Because a slug seems to shrivel with salt
Adam Schwab Feb 2013
Laying on the bed, gazing through the pains of glass to the snow.
Hitting the bushes of time 6 feet down below.
Two months before the tips were covered with colorful cue, and oceany blue.
After the favorite month that reminds me of you.
Summer.

Summer is a time, where the birds sing at the light.
Crawling critters and caddydids, dance to the moon late at night.

The scorching rays that beat down on my shoulders make me drip.
After working for an old lady that always told me to "take a sip"
swiping the keys and slipping from sight to escape the fight.
I'm gong to go see Nicole tonight.

Her eyes met mine in the air that seemed like oceans from her hair
Her smiling reaching cheek to cheek.
The sun cant compeat
This girl is my light, she's radiating with heat.

I grab your side and slide in behind you.
Holding you close under the sunburst sun, you know what to do.
As the fireworks burst from
Our lips to our tongues.

Wake back up to the real month it's is.
All I can do is think o her kiss.
Ill see you again I told her.
That's why my favorite season  is summer.
Adam Schwab Aug 2015
Every inch apart from you
Pulls apart my seams
Babe, don't think I wanted to
It's far from in my means

It feels as if the world collapsed
A thousand pounds upon my chest
But some how I still feel relaxed
My heart knows your the best

With every day that passes by
I know I'll have to wait
So I'll just sit, and think, and sigh
This heartache I can take

I envision you there across from me
As I eat my morning scrambies
Hair up in a braid, and a dog upon your knee
Your eyes as big *** Bambi's
Your smile could level me

So for now I will just dream
Of the day I'll see my angel
Impossible for my heart to wean
It's simply unattainable

And I know you don't think I cry
But it keeps me wide awake
So I'll just lay, and think, and sigh
About this heartache I can take
Adam Schwab Jan 2013
The wind whispers stories from some other land.
Two thousand miles away in some Barron sands
If you listen close and and do nothing but hear
Those miles it's seen its now finally here.

Three seas and three shores it has traveled alone.
Blown through the leaves and makes a gurgling  tone.
The words are unclear from the hardship it grazed
As it hits my face I can tell it's in rage.

A lot like my life the air seems to cast
I wonder why all my memories last.
Some good and some bad , some wanted some  not.
My memories like the stalled morning dew
By sunrise we know the wind never stops
So keep in your mind when you feel down low
That the wind is your heart and will continue to blow.
Adam Schwab Jul 2013
We are but 200 hundred miles apart
When we talk its like I'm floating on air
Especially when I think of the start

Your sittin there , all slouched in your seat
So lonely you seemed
So shyly you showed

I pack up my things so slowly it seemed
Like every time, I had no place to be
And when I left you started to lean
An asked for my name my number, real keen

Excited I left and briskly I walked
To the library I danced .
I was honestly shocked

Up towards the steps to the basement I slept
You slept me a text
Put my heart at rest

I started to flirt
Even though I had a girl

She's a rebound I guess
And nothing more
Cause you caught my eye when you
Walked  through that door.

I watched you so secretly
So slighly I sneaked

And shouted your name, and a sentence was leaked

You didn't hear me cause your eyes were shocked
To nervous to speak , to shy to talk

But now we are kissing , and making love too
I guess that's why now
I only want you
Adam Schwab Mar 2013
My heart falls fast and my eyes slide slow to the sound of the song three summers ago.

My body was small but my spirit was big, head full of air . When me and my buddy lit a cig.

We seemed so tough, so much bigger than the earth
How can it contain us with our egos giant girth

Each night I would gaze to the clock in my room. Awaiting the time to escape. The ground mirrored by the moon

We would drive with no direction. Some metaphor of us. Every quarrel we were in we never seemed to fuss

Being young was the time when worry was not a word. And things we should have remembered were never quite heard

They told us our friends would be gone once we left. I discarded the comment, out of my mind it was swept.

Two years away doesn't seem all the long. But that's al it takes for your friends to be gone.

Looking back now on the words that they spoke. I realize their true.My eyes tear and throat chokes

Now when I listen I understand what they say, and those words I bestow. To the days of that year three summers ago.

It's hard to describe this sights that I see.
But I'll   give it my best to put them verbally
The ocean you see holds such mystery
Each grain of sand is a TIMELINED memory

Blowing through the misty wind, finding somewhere to land
Sits by my palms and sieve through my hands

Just remember the heart in the sky
Will rise in the east and set in the west.
And when it feels like my eyes will give
Ill stay up all night, no need for rest
By dawn The Lord will give me reason to live.

It can't capture murals of us in the crashing waves
Thousands of colors only paintings
Can phrase
Disregarded from the keen eyes that are there
Souls like the stagnant summer air.

As I think of what I need
The coastal crests recedes
And when I think of what I want
It's lost throughout the ocean front

Don't worry, just stay at ease
The sun will set in the west and rise in the east

So don't let your eyes begin to give
Cause someone will bring you reason to live
Life's such a mystery
Each grain of sand, a TIMELINED memory

Way on back in 19,4,0
A dancin machine named tommy galico

He twisted his hips and pointed his toes to each beat that was dropped
And thrusted his harms to women to each note the drum bopped

So smoothly he fuzzed moves
Made women go confused
A wicked slick dude
Think he made the word groove

His fashion was obscure
With his shirt to his knees
His hat made of fur

Sweat all night
And cleared the dance floor
Making guys jelous right out through door

Stealing their date
And all their kisses too
A highly set pace
He would hop till his face turned blue

And still to this day when my grandparents speak of this man
With textbook moves
And Italian tan

The last to stay
They would always say
He was the last to go
That dancin machine, named *Tommy Galico

Sometimes I stare at an object and try to make some sort of connection through its physical being and the life I'm living now.
I always thought poetry was to be an expression of how someone was feeling or the struggles they have been through as some sort of venting relieve from the world. But now I realize its much more. Poetry is whatever you want it to be. A story, and feeling, a want, a need, even imagination .
Theirs no need for structures, stanzas, or rhymes. You give it thought, and a meaning will arise.

Besides poetry I love to express my words through playing guitar. Although I love to write lyrics for them I never seem to use them when I play because I hear the words with ever pick and strum of the strings. And as I lit a candle to play among the flicker of
It's light. To play of a valentines day love from long ago. A love I will never have again with that same individual. I stared  into the light to understand why it
Never worked out. And yes I probably sound very superstitious with fate and all. But as I looked into the flame I realized, that the wick the wax so lovingly grasped slowly became a liquid . And as the flame made its way down to its final flash all that was remaining was a charred string. And I found myself finally breaking free from my heartache of misfortune.
You can't go on being
Miserable over one little thing, over one little person. Yea, that candle may have been the best light you have seen, but their is plenty more out there, and with a little effort to pull a Match, You can light a new candle.
