Send me the bill

the thoughts do not seem to flow
like they used to
the dreams are more convoluted
these days
your face appears
for a brief moment
and in a glimpse of the past
a smile crosses my face
it never lasts however
it never has
in the words of ****
you can't always get what you want
a tasting of love
just a small portion
and I can't even pay for that now
so guess I can't take it with me

nothing lasts for ever only in your dreams

FOGHAT

it's been a long slow ride
with the wind at my sails
the thick moisture of the night
the memory prevails

like a summer's ballgame
on another rainy day
I was born for the road
you were born to fly away

I pleaded for your silky touch
you quickly pulled my mind
no matter what words I used
I couldn't make you find

to remain here at my feet
any other reason
the months flew past my heart
season after season

and now you have returned
for just a while I know
I try not to cover up
afraid when you will go

another song of blues rolls past my heart

Geodetic Precession

their bodies spinning
ever so close
loquacious meandering
with thoughts so verbose
they touch hands
from many miles apart
opening their eyes
opening their hearts
it's been a while she whispers
just make love to me
don't make it serious
just let it be

Gomer LePoet...
she came to me when I thought all was lost

Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy

it was purple haze
it was all the rage
it went so well
with smoking sage
a little bitter
a little sweet
but it swept me completely
off my feet
a dash of this
a pinch of that
homogenized milk
with all it's fat
on top of Oreos
and 'nilla waffers too
I played the blues
until blisters how bout chu?
When the sun
finally arose
I sat up
and counted all my toes
took just 1 more hit
of sunshine that cloudy day
Me and Bo
till we began to sway
we both looked up
up at the sky
and said scuse me please
while I kiss this guy

Secrets of my Soul

the secrets of my soul
cannot hide from my mind

the creator
of all things
all things that were
all things that will ever be
played a cruel trick on me

while the creator gave to me
the  power of thought
it was also given to me
the power of the soul
to create
to dream
and I have never learned
to accept that good
but yearn still for what might be

thus
the secrets of my soul
are not secret at all  

Gomer LePoet...
I've got a secret, or do I?

I'll Just Keep On Searching

your eyes they shine like burning lights
they've led me to many sleepless nights
but I just can't let you go
I've just got to let you know

the memories still linger on
they've led me here to this song
but you won't even say hello
I just don't understand why did you go

won't you please hear my lonesome cry
day after day and lonely nights go by
I've got to find a way
to fill my empty heart
I'll keep searching for you
I 'll just keep on searching

Gomer LePoet...
a new tune I wrote with the same ole theme unfortunately

Congratulations

Congratulations, take a bow, you have stolen the show
you really had me going there, and now I'm eating crow
I was convinced, you changed your mind, a constant fool am I
you ****** me in, with your magic tongue, every word a lie

Congratulations, take a bow, you have claimed the prize
once again, I failed to see, through your deceit and lies
you told me how much you cared, you're really good at this
turned my back, you gave me a shove, into the great  abyss

Congratulations, take a bow, you're such a super star
you're number 1, tops on the charts, you've really set the bar
your command, of mystic spells, has climbed right off the charts
you hand to me, my broken heart, in a box of old used parts

Congratulations, take a bow, you've won another crown
is this the end, the final blow, should I dress up like a clown
cause one more time, the joker's wild, I've been the perfect fool
I thought I had, a fighting chance, but you've taken me to school

Congratulations, take a bow, the final act has played,
you cut right through, my hopes and dreams, with your pointed blade
when the program,  lists the players, will my name appear
you said I love you, to my face, now you're no longer here
