Flight of the Eagle
David Nelson Sep 2011
Flight of the Eagle

the eagle soars above so totally free
doesn't have the need to be attached
heart is open to every thought and idea
man does not seem to know this freedom
inwardly or outwardly
at least not on this earth
the mind understands this concept
and tries to build an outside world
invent a future liberation of the soul
can the mind be actually and totally free
free from dependance, fear, anxiety
conscious and unconscious
I have felt the eagle trying to escape
the boundaries I have placed
my pleasures my pain my fears
the eagle is fleeing and taking flight

Bittersweet
David Nelson Sep 2011
Bittersweet

the kisses were oh so sweet
they lined the path to my empty heart
the cycle of reincarnation
the nirvana of a brand new start

but now the kisses have faded away
the path has become strewn with litter
my dreams again now left empty
your sweetness has turned, oh so bitter

the claims were made, thoughts justified
this is not what you truly wanted
it was best, that's what you said
our growing love, now growth is stunted

will this be the final kiss of death
I fear this is our last goodbye
now in reflections I see your smile
my heart is broke and needs to cry

this is the only way to mend the pain
the only way to make complete
the love we shared now drenched in rain
memories of you, so bittersweet

Ocean Boulevard
David Nelson Sep 2011
Ocean Boulevard

cruising down the road with my player blasting
me and Eric just soaking up the sun
palm trees blowing in the cool Miami breeze
God I am lucky just so lucky to be one

loved by so many more than I deserve
and yet I sometimes **** and moan
it's time for all of that to change
I think I'll call the flower on the phone

wishing she was here the wind in her hair
and she is only in my heart and mind
but that makes it all the more special
as I breathe in the salty air so fine

yes I love the ocean and I love the sea
I love the ones who show special care
I love the islands and I love the sun
but boy do I hate tight underwear

gonna have to pull over and readjust
maybe pull in here and stop for a beer
wow look at that view from the garden in back
Ocean Boulevard how I love being here

Punk Sandwich
David Nelson Sep 2011
Punk Sandwich

there he is walking down the street
slicked back hair and a thin mustache
high rise collar on his button down shirt
sparkle in his eye and always talkin trash

he loved his Italian beef on pumpernickel rye
he loved his mama and his brothers too
he wasn't your ordinary everyday punk
there was more and you knew he knew

fear for him does not exist or so he claims
quicker than a bolting flash of light
behind you with a jagged edge of blade
he is no one to challenge to a fight

he has connections to all the right ones
the ones you need to know for security
or to make some annoyance disappear
his word is golden shinning with a purety

a perfect friend intelligent curteous and brave
but these can all change to weapons of death
if you are so disposed to challange his way
it just might be your very last breath

after dropping you in a pool of disguise
he will tip his fadora with playful grace
back on his brow and cigarella between his lips
and that same old smirk upon his face

2nd Helping
David Nelson Sep 2011
2nd Helping

well now I've gone and gorged myself
I've devoured every morsel I could find,
but still I have this empty feeling
have I gone completely out of mind

it seems I just can't get enough
I'm needing more and more each day,
taking in all of your natural gifts
constant searching for another way

you reach out to touch my soul
the fragrance of your sweetness I inhale,
a new bouquet of lovely wild flowers
intoxicating like an English ale

so I cannot leave this still empty heart
I must return to the red velvet rope,
back once more for a 2nd helping
where you will fill me again I hope

I think that I might be in a vicious circle
cause I admit I do not want this to ever end,
not only are you this special lover
even more you are this special friend

so when I said before that I was hungry
it is for you that my hunger stays,
I want to bring  you never ending pleasure
so many many times so many many ways

Sleaze Factor
David Nelson Sep 2011
****** Factor

old Ralphy McCalister they all called him Chubs
he was a one of kind ****** ball even rooted for the Cubs
he thought he was slick yes he thought he was cool
only thing wrong was most thought he was a tool

greasy long black hair combed high on his head
various sized zits on his face all puffy and red
he still wore high heeled boots to make him seem tall
always trying to impress saying I have to take this call

when everyone knew it was most likely his mom
he'd wink at you and say loudly hey hi there Tom
who was supposed to be some famous music man
working on a record deal for Chubs and Steely Dan

it's funny cause he couldn't play, dance or sing
his best known talent was drooling over some young thing
with his black leather jacket and skin tight jeans
only tune he could play was after eating baked beans

he wore phony gold bracelets and chains round his neck
spent time in the pokey for kiting a check
always looking for an angle to scam off a buck
his made-up stories could fill a large truck

yes on the sleeze meter he scored a staggering plus
there goes another of his pimples about to ooze ****
you know he might have had a chance at being an actor
one thing for sure was he had that special sleeze factor

Pompous Circumstances

he was elitist to the max effect
so full of himself in every way
if things were not to his liking
he would wag his finger and say

hey there you insignificant slob
don't you know who I am
I am royalty so above you knave
your words to me a sham

you are not worthy of my attention
why do you interrupt my train of thought
your concern over trivial things
mere trinkets I could have easily bought

so away with ye now you commoner
no longer do I wish you stay
yes you might think me pompous
but Im so special in every way

my products of waste smell delightful
I wallow in food and drink
throw money away like it's water
yes I do not think my **** would stink

you see I am so perfect
circumstances beyond your control
I will now be running for congress
taking more now is my goal

I will sell your concerns and worries
to whomever gives me my want
by the time you figure to replace me
another like me will move to the front

Jungle Jim
David Nelson Sep 2011
Jungle Jim

I step quietly through the foliage
each step one foot in front of the other
thorny bushes reaching out to grab me
large webs with entrapped insects
being very careful watching intently
poisionous snakes are abound
an occasional grunt from gators
warning not to come any closer
they guard their young viciously
my exploring buddy Jim warning me
about the wild boar seen lately
large prehistoric looking birds swooping
and making screeching sounds
finally I hear I got it I got it
the treasure we had been seeking
now to retrieve it and make our way
our way back out of this jungle
look out for the huge spider I yell
and Jim ducks just in time
we finally see the clearing ahead
whew! Wasn't sure we would get back
dam Jim next time be more careful
next time hit your 7 iron instead
now what did you get on that hole?

Minuit à Paris

oui, oui Missour, excusez-moi s'il vous plaît,
peux je prendre vos sacs, être bienvenu au Ritz
Je suis plus sûr, vous apprécierez votre séjour
Paris est le plus heureux, vous voir M. Fitz

Paris au printemps est une si jolie vue
les fleurs tous dans l'éclat, l'horizon la nuit
le soleil brillant shinning maintenant, peut-être une ****** d'après-midi
planifiez votre jour bien avant vous le trajet en haut dans la tour

le fait de promener devant le cathederal de Dame Notre
le fait de penser au carillonneur le vieux bossu
comme la liberté de Philadelphie, la cloche a un craquement
le fait de prendre d'assaut du Bastille, pour soulager la honte

au Louvre pour la plupart d'art exqusite
Rembrandt et DaVinci à leur meilleur
tant de choses à voir c'est juste le début
voir tout cela serait une quête fantastique

le temps pour un trajet en bas le fleuve de Seine
les vues étonnantes cette vieille ville peuvent livrer
une bouteille de Vouvray agréable pour améliorer le trajet
une jolie femme locale directement par votre côté

maintenant vous pourriez lui demander si elle aime danser
car les clubs dans Paree sont oh si parfaits
le club la Plage aussi un grand endroit pour dîner
un temps magnifique, le Minuit à Paris, France

Midnight in Paris

oui, oui Missour, excusez-moi s'il vous plaît,
may I take your bags, welcome to the Ritz
I am most sure, you will enjoy your stay
Paris is most happy, to see you  Mr. Fitz

Paris in the spring is such a lovely sight
the flowers all in bloom, the skyline at night
bright sun shinning now, maybe an afternoon shower
plan your day well before you ride up in the tower

strolling past the cathedral of Notre Dame
thinking of the bell ringer the old hunchback
like the Philadelphia liberty, the bell has a crack
the storming of the Bastille, to relieve the shame

to the Louvre for the most exquisite art
Rembrandt and DaVinci at their best
so many things to see this is just the start
to see it all would be a fantastic quest

time for a ride down the Seine river
astonishing sights this old city can deliver
a bottle of nice Vouvray to enhance the ride
a lovely local woman right by your side

now you might ask her if she likes to dance
for the clubs in Paree are oh so fine
club Lido also a great place to dine
a wonderful time, Midnight in Paris, France

Madison Avenue
David Nelson Sep 2011
Madison Avenue

thousand dollar suits, fancy silk tie
slicked back hair, he's a helluva guy
he'll pick your pocket, do what he has to do
to stay on top on Madison Avenue

foreclose your loan, increase your rate
charge you more, if you are late
no don't bend over, he'll give it to you
do what he needs on Madison Avenue

he will lie to his mother, cheat on his wife
whatever it takes, to maintain his life
hold his breath until, his face turns blue
got to have it his way, on Madison Avenue

just how large, does his account need be
when is it enough, to make him see
he's so **** smart, but doesn't have a clue
his life is all about, Madison Avenue

government bailouts, rewards for greed
while jobless workers, walk streets with need
have my doubts, that we thought it through
keeping the hot shots hot, on Madison Avenue

we slap their wrists, say don't do it again
they claim they won't, but behind they grin
they know they can do, just want they want to
nothing seems to change, on Madison Avenue

Aftershock
David Nelson Sep 2011
Aftershock

it's been another bad day I'm shakin like a leaf
my house collapsed and I'm looking for relief
the walls rumbled and rattled until it finally fell
I can still see the flames like I'm livin in hell

yes I told my woman I think I needed a break
thought she'd understand boy what a mistake
she seemed bored with me more than I with her
but when I made this comment I could see her fur

the hair bristled up on the back of her neck
her eyes fired daggers so I hit the deck
I bobbed and I weaved dodging her slurs
I could feel my shorts being filled with burrs

seems it's ok for the woman to be restless and bored
but you better not say this to her or you'll get gored
with those barbed missiles attached to her tongue
you'll be picking thorns out of you ****

yes the walls shook loudly from the aftershock
I think this is gonna cost me my head's on the block
I begged for forgiveness but it was to no avail
I handed her the hammer and a 2 penny nail

so I've been kissin her **** now for over a week
still lookin for a paddle to get out of **** creek
bought her a nice big diamond to ease my pain
it didn't work still carrying the ball and chain      

so I shake my head and wonder why I'm so dumb
as I sit in the corner ******* on my thumb
don't stir the *** leave the lid on the crock
or you better be prepared for the aftershock

Mirage

Mirage

I sit up in bed and rub my blurry eyes
is that you I see coming towards me
no it's just a shadow on the wall
it was nothing more than a mirage

walking down Cypress Avenue I can't believe
there you are across the street looking my way
wait oh no it was someone else completely
it was just another wishful dream I see

buying my groceries for tonites dinner
wait is that you I seen turning the corner
I rush to the end of the aisle to find
it was your memory playing with my mind

I was sitting at the stoplight on Maple Drive
I glanced over at the car in the lane next to me
I can't believe it must be you sitting there
I waved and you frowned it was just a mirage

I see your face in every little thing I do
I just can't get you out of my mind
maybe I should check myself into the ward
I think I still have that doctor's card  
  
last nite you told me that you would go
to the prom so I bought you a nice corsage
but you weren't really there were you
it was just another dam mirage

Boolean Logic

Boolean Logic

you say it isn't logical
if it's not black or white
it's either positive or negative
either day or night
can't be 6 of one
half dozen of the other
you know what I mean
know what I'm sayin brother

make up your mind
just give me the truth
don't wrap me in a cord
in a telephone booth
is it “A” or “B”
it's gotta be part of a set
I work with truths
before I place my bet

binary numbers that intersect
ands or nots or or's it can be
part of the superset
the limbs of the tree
true or false
you just gotta decide
algebraic notation
proves if you lied

could you be wrong
could there be areas of gray
in matters of love
it's not just what you say
sometimes it's what's missing
that matters the most
no salty or sweet
like a piece of dry toast    

is science perfect
how the hell would I know
can only go by
the factors that show
but I got this feeling
it's more than neurologic
in matters of the heart
it takes more than boolean logic

The Plains of Africa
David Nelson Aug 2011
The Plains of Africa

when you touch down here on the African plains
you can almost immediately feel the pains
of a life that grew from nothing at all
greatness achieved but still the blood stains

cultures of complexity started here
somehow they understood but still there was fear
they created technology science and a division of labor
and learned somehow to live with their neighbor

they created transportation writing and math
they started it all they created the path
without their skills in agricultural tricks
we could have never grown just chewing on sticks

and though it all started here so long ago
this area suffers did they forget what they know
this is where my future all began
here was the beginning the beginning of man

we owe it all to these beings so humble and caring
we need to find an end to all of their despairing
  it seems funny that they were the ones stretching the  brain
and now they need educating when there is no rain

infestation of some kind has continually been a thorn
either insects or bacteria for even the newborn
yes they were our beginning the life that we know
we owe our tears and support to help them regrow

Even a dog can shake hands

as Warren elaborated so succinctly
not everyone is who they portend to be
just gain some wealth or notoriety
and you will very quickly see

now wealth isn't necessarily money
it could be simply your thought
stories for convincing so funny
thinking your mind can be bought

long lost mates from days gone past
who claim to be your friend
now a shadow you somewhat cast
caring souls appear and pretend

and whoa is me when it is time for your vote
good ole boy politicians doing handstands
now they have concern for everyone and their goat
remember even a dog can shake hands

It looks like rain
David Nelson Aug 2011
It looks like rain

gosh I had big ideas I was hoping to be someone
something went wrong with my carefully plotted plan
I stopped to take a look when I clearly should have run
sweet distractions caused the crap to hit the fan

I convinced myself that I could surely make this work
I mean after all it was just a harmless little trek
but this light blinded me and made my blood perk
then I felt the teeth of love bite me on the neck

the sun shined brightly as I walked in a zombie trance
fields of flowers stretched as far as the eye could see
birds singing melodies so sweet as I saw her face advance
she became more beautiful her glow enveloped me

I knew this must surely be someones elses dream
this did not fit at all into my simple minds design
then the clouds began to gather no more gentle stream
the wind began to howl and storms in a distant line

the sun slowly disappeared from the sky turning grey
the thunder clapping and winds sounding like a train
I awakened from my deep sleep and I heard someone say
yes my friend it most certainly looks like rain

Don't call me Shirley (tribute to Leslie Nielson 11/28/2010)

sometimes you made me laugh so hard I cried
and a tear did fall when I learned that you died
a doctor with a growing nose in that crazy Airplane
we have to get this person to a hospital in words so plain
what is it a passenger inquires so sincere
a building with patients you made it clear

and when Priscilla climbed that ladder in the study
without even sneaking an up skirt glance
nice ****** was your comment nearly killed me buddy
one could only imagine she wasn't wearing pants
thanks I just had it stuffed was her retort
had to hit the pause and then restart

and the blinded detective with the Naked Gun
back when OJ was still a media prince
you and George kept those bad guys on the run
hasn't been a comic duo that good since
you left us all behind way way too early
just one more time "Dont call me Shirley"

When you close your eyes
David Nelson Aug 2011
When you close your eyes

when you close your eyes, do you dream about me
are these dreams filled with love, and burning ******
do our hands reach for each other, in the darkness of the night
carressing one another, until the early morning light

do we whisper sweet nothings, into each others ear
ignoring the obvious, the things that we both fear
the truth can be quite painful, it will not let us be
in this case the truth, will never set us free  

when you close your eyes, do the tears fill your head
lying there motionless, in your lonely bed
because there is no room for me, someone else is in that spot
one more night of crying, your stomach in a knot

your last response was no response, it left me with a chill
the feeling is the end is here, you sent the final bill
when you close your eyes, I feel you no longer dream
covering your head instead, so no one can hear your scream

no I no longer think, that you dream of me
the cold distance is wider now, the space between you and me
that you have made a concious choice, to just let it go
you don't have to say the words, I already know

Unified - (re-post)
David Nelson Aug 2011
Unified

Here we lie side by side,
staring at each others face
heads on hands held up by elbows,
breathing in this time and place
we share our thoughts,
we speak our dreams,
we melt into each others eyes
we reminisce,
we trace our paths,
broken hearts sometimes our goodbyes
but tonight we loved,
our deepest love,
we accepted from each other
tender kisses we placed,
on each others lips,
like kisses from our mother
with such deep love we breathe each other,
your lavender I taste
slowly I feel all of you,
every smooth silky inch,
rushing would be waste
though sometimes we have our differences,
tonight we blend like one
water and oil,
the fertile soil was joined like rain and sun
I give praise and thank the heavens,
for sharing this with you
I do not deserve,
feeling every curve,
your musky morning dew  
beads of sweat run down my brow,
hearts are beating hard and fast,
almost there,
no releasing yet,
make this loving moment last
now I am yours,
and you are mine,
as naked stars collide
expansion then,
and now collapse,
we are unified

You Would Think

you would think by now I would have given up
you would think by now I would have forgotten you
you could not be further from the truth
you are deeper in my heart than that

you would think by now I would be looking
for someone else to take your place
to fill the gap that you have left
to close the piercing wound that remains

you would think by now I would have licked
my wounds and wandered off into the night
searching for a new light to show me the way
to show me the love you showed to me

you would think by now I might have grown angry
that I might feel cheated out of what I was seeking
but it is just the opposite feelings that I have

you would think by now I would have accepted
the fact that you will probably never even read
these words that I have written and that you
will never return to my world

you filled me up with your simple style
how could I have known that you would
steal my heart with your soft smile

time has passed things have changed
you had to leave I understand
still each and every day I look for you
I can't let go reaching for your hand

they say time heals wounds
but I don't think this hole will ever fill
the ache inside is still as strong
I will miss you forever I know I will

I still can see you as you turned away
looking back at me over your shoulder
I know you really wanted to stay
the days pass by and I just get older

I still look at pictures of you and yearn
my finger traces your face I feel the thrill
wondering how I will get by another day
she's gone now and I feel my tears spill

yeah crank those super tweeters
let me feel the burning in my ears
I've been locked away in prison
for almost twenty-three years

they searched here and everywhere
trying to find my soul
but it was locked in my memory
that was the one thing they never stole

so now I'm free from the proding
no more bend it over and spread
they thought they were messing with me
but they had no idea what was in my head

I was jammin with Joe Bonamassa
and Eric C. sometimes came too
the only bending was on the 16th fret
triple harmonies screaming into the blue

wash those shirts dig that dirt
rake the garden get all the weeds
they didn't realize I was getting good stuff
the kind with really big seeds

so when they threw me to the floor
and yelled see how you like cell block 7
I just grinned from ear to ear
they had no idea I was heading to heaven

yeah they tried to take my dignity
they were just wasting their time
I wasn't going anywhere inside my head
I was busy looking for a line to rhyme

The Atomic Weight of Arrogance

Politicians, self-absorbed business tycoons
super star athletes and various other baboons
have this special quality which we all endear
thinking they are above us they make it perfectly clear

they're thoughts, needs and wants are second to none
they want these important issues known to everyone
czars, kings, dictators, potentates put them in a line
actors, music stars, the schoolyard bully even comes to mind

we have all known or seen them digitally displayed publicly
holding down with tightly clenched fist if we disagree
they have been endowed with preordained magic powers  
sprinkled by their own private god's golden showers

they have always known more than mere mortal man
with more intelligence in one finger that's always been the plan
some seem confused that we don't all see them as our hero
last I checked the atomic weight of arrogance is still a whopping zero

cold matter
teeth that chatter
wishing that your gut was flatter

trying to suppress that bladder

Perfectly Imperfect

there are so few things that I do correct
hell I'm still learning how to stand *****
with my ape like qualities making strange sounds
the stupid words I utter could be measured in pounds

you know deep down inside I really do care
I have a ton of feelings that I will gladly share
but sometimes my thoughts get caught up in the word I
I won't stop talking until I make you cry

I miss the banner T says at the bottom of the page
I go from weeping chimp to a silverback in rage
trying to get a grip on my now empty heart
I wanna go back again go back to the start

why is it that sometimes you find out too late
that you should keep yourself in a cage or crate
until you learn and understand what smart really is
and no I'm not talking about a scientific wizz

I guess I'll continue writing self deprecating lines
until I learn more than just swinging on vines
I don't know how else to explain how my heart burns
hoping someday my sunflower returns

words
two hearts
an affair of the heart
can you hear my cries
if this is goodbye
I wish
Just a country girl
remember when
I've lost you, but I haven't  
sweet dreams
I'll be there
Let's ride
Out of control
rearview mirror
never
You matter
keep on keeping on
You
a whisper to your heart
Squeaker
suffering in my silence
can't live with you & can't live without you
parched heart
puppet on your strings
feel me

I got nothing
David Nelson Aug 2011
I got nothing

the crack of the bat the pleas of the vendors
the roar of the crowd the snapping of suspenders
thumbs in my pockets so I can't hitch a ride
no longer the darling busted up inside

  screaming for help but no one is there
heaven has left me so why should I care
no peanuts or popcorn to offer the crowd
the boos have started and getting quite loud

it wasn't her fault she had no real choice
how I do yearn to just hear her voice
the ushers escorted her to the proper table
from a distance she reminds me of Betty Grable

the circles of rambling getting much tighter
sleepless stirring pull another all-nighter
a string of pointless one-liners end to end
like Costanza I got nothing since I lost my friend

How does one know?
David Nelson Aug 2011
How does one know?

Tick-tock
tick-tock

has it finally arrived
do I no longer feel alive
have I lost that last connection
is it time for that injection

knock-knock
knock-knock

is there anyone at home
or am I now all alone
still I hear voices in my head
it's getting crowded in my bed

wake-up
wake-up

am I now cornered in my dream
will they hear me if I scream
why do my hands move so slow
just how does one know

Ye Royal Flush
David Nelson Aug 2011
Ye Royal Flush

I had been honored by a perfect queen
to be chosen with intent as her lover
her majesty treated me like a king
my desires celebrated under sheet and cover

the dark green meadow filled by leaping lords
ladies in waiting for the ace of obligations
henceforth summoned by the jack of hearts
10 times on old Big Ben making his notations

her lady tired of internal stress and strain
I now was asked to go quietly with a hush
as all the cards had now been gathered up
I was subjected to Ye Royal Flush

Plastic Rap
David Nelson Aug 2011
Plastic Rap

you're walkin and talkin like an old parrot squawkin
your tongue is waggin like the soul of my shoe

I can see quite perfectly you're making up a story
you're like a plastic baggy I can see right thru

your nose is showin it's growin in the dark glowin
you'll say anything just to ******* off

you got me cryin your lyin stings like bacon fryin
when I try to read your lips you turn your head and cough

you ain't foolin no one girl
uh uh you ain't foolin no one

you're a liar you liar your pants are on fire
your gonna need more than water to put it out

I can tell by the smell you're headed straight to hell
your story stinks baby without a doubt

it's so tragic the magic you stretch words like elastic
why can't you just tell me the truth

it's scary how you tarry I'm not your dream fairy
and I won't give you money for your tooth

no you ain't foolin no one girl
uh uh you ain't foolin no one

Nothin like true love
David Nelson Aug 2011
Nothin like true love

me and the wife had a fight last nite
lots of cussing and slapping each other around
she said I was a loser if ever there was
she coulda found something better in the dog pound

I said yeah I lost alright that's rather obvious
just look in the mirror if you dare
well she kneed me in the vestubles realy hard
and yanked out a couple of my nose hair

she said I was lazy never worked a day
if it weren't for her papa we'd be starvin
well your papa's not all that smart I said
else why did he marry a woman named Marvin

back and forth and around we went
one jab worse then the other
she threatened to have my **** whooped good
by her stupid fat *** brother

well when we finally stopped to catch our breath
she had me in a headlock
I accidentally fondled her breast
and then we started to rock

she pulled me close and gave me a smooch
we both said sorry and we knew
we were gonna get us a bottle of scotch
get fallin down drunk and *****

16 Reasons
David Nelson Aug 2011
16 reasons

I gaze each and every day
at your photos on my wall
glimpses of your beauty
reminders of your perfect heart

each and every day I think
of how wonderful it would be
to have more than just these photos
to hold close to my reaching heart

each one is different
in it's own special way
the colors always blending
to make your eyes sparkle like the stars

your golden hair up or down
I love it every way
wishing I could breath the scent
that is only yours alone

tantalizing delicious lips begging
to be kissed by the moon
for I am not worthy myself
I can only gaze in the distance

yes I have these 16 reasons
I can touch and dream about
and even sometimes kiss
the princess in my own fairytale

for it is only in a fairytale
that this old frog
would ever get the taste
of these 16 reasons

I Pledge My Love
David Nelson Aug 2011
I Pledge My Love

everyday my heart looks in the mirror
it pleads with me to please let it be free
let it run to be with the one it loves so deeply
because each day it dies a little longing can't you see

I struggle trying to get thru each day
it becomes harder and I'm certain that it shows
frustration makes the mind play stupid tricks
saying selfish words and you're the one who knows

my life feels so empty wanting you
and as I watch yet another friend pass away
my heart cries knowing it can't be where it wants
and leaves me wondering if it can take another day

I pledge my love forever to you my friend
maybe I will meet the Perly one at Heaven's gate
if that will be my final reward my destiny
I swear to you my love will forever wait

It's the Little Things
David Nelson Aug 2011
It's the Little Things

I  don't need a castle  
or a mansion of any kind
I don't want a limousine
it's the furthest from my mind

what I need is your gentle touch
your hand upon my face
your soft words of love to me
the scent of your fine lace

yes big things can be fine
they can create a distraction
but when I am all alone
thoughts of you are my attraction

I bet a trip to Paris
would be quite the thrill
or singing with the Fat man
up on Blueberry Hill

a diamond watch or golden ring
either would be the bomb
but walking hand and hand with you
would bring my world some calm

you don't need to write an opera
or a musical for Broadway
just a simple note of hi my love
would make my perfect day

a yacht can be lots of  fun
but I'd prefer a bird that sings
or hear you whisper I love you
yes it's just the little things

Sorry, I've been busy
David Nelson Aug 2011
Sorry, I've been busy

hey how have you been
haven't talked to you in a while
I've been rather lonely
and I sure do miss your smile

guess you've been laying low
not at your usual spots
oh you did visit the story teller
no words for me but for him lots

not saying you have a thing
just saying I don't appear to rate
I know it's family and things
that's what you say as of late

looked for you all day yesterday
and of course again today
I'd keep talking to myself
but I'm running out of things to say  

don't see a point in hanging around
head hurts from thinking making me dizzy
I would say this to your face but you say
sorry, I've been busy

Romance Unclassified

lover
wanted
times are bad
need some romance

my love life has gone to hell
need me some sort of magic caper
need to find someone who I can tell
put me an add in the Sunday paper

let me see what sort of response I get
do you think maybe I should add my pic
so far only a call from some guy named Chet
I told him sleeping with guys ain't my schtick

he said he could teach me a trick or maybe two
teach me to play sweet guitar make the ladies sigh
write sweet words is another thing he said I should do
soft sweet voice and sappy sad guitar sounds make them cry

maybe a fine new hobby would be good for me
heck I could learn to weave a basket
I need something don't you see
before I wake up in a casket

need some romance
times are bad
wanted
lover

I Need You (now)
David Nelson Aug 2011
I need you (now)

I see your beautiful face in everything I do
I have tried everything to just forget you
my mouth waters in hunger for your taste
I walk in constant circles colliding with my haste

you run away and hide you think I am crazy
just because I refer to you sometimes as Daisy
or is it the look in my eyes that tells you I'm mad
I passed insanity yesterday I mean it's really bad

your eyes burn a hole in the back of my brain
so soft and sensuous I struggle to explain
those lips so delicious my appetite is burning
can I say more clearly how much I am yearning

your golden hair shinning like Jason's hidden fleece
when I look upon your body I feel my presure increase
the curves spell out danger if you're moving to fast
when I feel my body next to you I want it to last

what other way can I explain how bad I need your touch
before I explode inside I need you so **** much
I'll write it in the skies from my chariot somehow
my darling babydoll I need you and I need you (now)

I Fell Outa Bed Last Nite
David Nelson Aug 2011
I fell outa bed last nite

I felt bad last nite
knew something wasn't right
when I turned out the light
then I fell outa bed last nite

I knew something was wrong
I kept humming this song
I heard the sound of a gong
then I fell outa bed last nite

I hit my head
my nose sort of bled
now my nose is all red
when I fell outa bed last nite

I looked up above
did someone give me a shove
think I fell outa love
when I fell outa bed last nite

was this a message from you
did I do something terribly wrong
if I say I'm sorry will it do
that's why I wrote you this song

my eyes were kinda glazy
now my legs or kinda lazy
I think I'm going crazy
since I fell outa bed last nite

I hear my woman *******
as I stagger to the kitchen
now my fingers keep a twitchin
dam I fell outa bed last nite

pour some water in a glass
felt a pain in my ***
is it heart attack or gas
how did I fall outa bed last nite

was it just an illusion
or is there collusion
so much confusion
since I fell outa bed last nite

was this a message from you
did I do something terribly wrong
if I say I'm sorry will it do
that's why I wrote you this song

dam I fell outa bed last nite
how did I fall outa bed last nite
whoa I fell outa bed last nite
that's right I fell outa bed last nite

The Wheel
David Nelson Aug 2011
The Wheel

someone gets off another gets on
round and around the wheel spins
you can only hope that before you're gone
you've done enough good to cover your sins

each has a turn of writing their book
comedies and drama each a separate page
you can't venture forward to take a look
pray that your legacy isn't written in a cage

greet each day and everyone with a smile
never leave them with a bitter taste
for those special ones walk that extra mile
never let them shake their head and say what a waste

no way to know the destination when you begin
but the end of the line cannot be passed by
turn and throw your kisses to the wind
when the ticket taker winks and says goodbye

I used to be Someone
David Nelson Aug 2011
I used to be Someone

it wasn't that long ago I was special to someone
I had a lover who would fill my heart every night and day
now I'm just another like you left without no one
it never would have ended if I had my way

but there really wasn't any choice in the matter
a love made in heaven had us heading towards hell
the tears fall now creating droplets of splatter
and you are now the only one I can tell

please don't turn away won't you be my friend
I'm in need of a shoulder to lean my weary head
I promise to be faithful until the very end
I am not perfect you will see in these very words you've read

Samuel and Daisy
David Nelson Aug 2011
Samuel and Daisy

Samuel and Daisy two lovers of life
and now things are better than ever before
Daisy agreed to become Samuel's wife
their names together on the sign above the door

Samuel was a writer of mystery tales
Daisy soon to become a corner shop owner
his stories led the market in sales
had trouble keeping his printer in toner

the words would roll off his finger tips
especially after a moment with his girl
tasting the kisses from her sweet lips
some so hot it would make his hair curl

Daisy bought a flower shop she loved flowers
and once in a while she would strum her guitar
Samuel could watch her for endless hours
she was so beautiful both near and far

their lives forever tangled around each other
their perfect love right out of a fairy tale
each night they would say a prayer for her brother
in the desert protecting others he would not fail

yes Samuel and Daisy were a perfect match
loving each other more than themselves
like the sunflowers in her flower patch
the story of their love on life's book shelves

Filling the Void
David Nelson Aug 2011
Filling the Void

my hours are now spent trying to fill the void
the huge vacuum of space left behind
going through the motions like an android
stumbling with my thoughts feeling so blind

the passion and the flames are memories now
that is all that they could ever be
need to find me a new direction somehow
but I still think of her I still think of me

I look all around and see beauty abound
reflections of the beauty I once knew
her voice such a perfect sound
filling the void left by you

I can't stop Loving You

I can't stop Loving You

I have tried so hard to forget you
I have tried so hard to move my thoughts away
but my heart and mind won't let me
I guess it's the price I have to pay

I didn't mean to fall in love with you
and I think you feel the same way too
but now my body aches for your touch
everything I do reminds me of you

I suppose in time things might change
but I surely wouldn't take that bet
the special love we shared
makes it so I cannot ever forget

I can dream about You

if you could be here where I am
and see you thru my eyes
you would understand

why you are so special to me
I have fallen in love with you
all over again

I close my eyes and dream about you
you are here lying in my arms
even when you are away

I look into your eyes they are so deep
I can feel your heart and soul
and leaves me forever wanting

I look at your delicious lips
I can taste their sweetness
and it leaves me forever hungry

yes if you could see you thru my eyes
then you would understand
why I dream about you

Spiral Staircase
David Nelson Aug 2011
Spiral Staircase

first you go down and then you go up
dancing inside your paper cup
your dreams of tangerines in your head
the staircase never ends so many tears are bled

you can try tearing down the walls
pacing back and forth in the halls
you can hide but you can't run
playing keep-a-way not always fun

flap your wings but not your jaws
pain of a thistle in your paws
you cry but nobody hears
they became accustomed to the tears

so what's the use of loud belching tones
when you can know deep in your bones
there is no way to win this race
not up and down the spiral staircase

Big Balls
David Nelson Aug 2011
Big *****  

AC/DC sang about these items of bounce
shooting them through baskets weaved
game winning corner kicks keeper couldn't pounce
stories of bravery not all believed

soldiers on the front and city cops too
firefighters saving lives and endangering their own
the size of the owner means little it's true
in the side pocket pressure of feeling alone

heroes and villains alike need at least one
95 mph fast one you try to hit with a stick
even sea lions and seals use them for fun
it makes me laugh to see them do a trick

admitting you were wrong can take a large pair
painful thought to see how far you can kick instead
through the distant goal posts of life if you dare
served with sauce and pasta and slice of garlic bread

you can club them with a driver if you like
or seek your destiny looking thru crystal deep inside
but guys hate when they slip while riding a bike
by showing yours you won't lose your pride
