The Love You Make

are you going to be in my dreams tonite
or is this the end of my Abbey Road
don't know why but these 4 lads have come to light
maybe they have come to ease my load

going back to my future looking for my past
did I really think this dream would linger
anything that was so beautiful surely would not last
the hornet has stung and left his burning stinger

the flowers have bloomed now the season is over
the fragrance slowly drifting away from my sense
the times we frolicked in the hay and clover
now looking over my shoulder as I climb the fence

wish I could be in more of a positve mind
but the baggage is getting to be a bit to much
no tricks left inside my magic hat can I find
I so terribly miss that special touch

I know what they said was true and right
about the love you give the love you make
but I am waiting for the sun to end this night
I selfishly wish I had more love that I could take

My Lonely Heart -Day 3

Ah Monday
I remember when
when I dreaded Mondays
back to work
so sad
too often
work was a dredge
high pressure
to perform
performance Ha
I guess they wanted
me to actually
earn that big salary
the last 3 years
of corporate
drained my heart
drained my soul
pressure
always pressure
24/7 on call
too many cliques
I wasn't part
of their clique
oh well
I survived
some how

the sun is shinning
hot and humid again today
I was going to play golf
but got there
too late
apparently
they were already
gone
the last group
just teeing off
Oh well
my back was a little
ouchy anyway
guess I might
have to paint some today

I check the E-mail
hoping beyond hope
but
there are no messages

I love to read
her words
sometimes
she even tells me
she has missed me
sometimes
she even tells me
she loves me
I know
that she does
but I love to hear
hear her say those words

I wonder
if
she even thinks
about me now
3 days
I'm sure she
is busy
checking out
the property
busy with
her own world
hope she is well
she worries me
at times

I still have
her pictures
to look at
look at
and dream

I miss her
I miss her so bad

She Likes to Watch

her eyes are brite
with a smile of love
she is perfect in every sense

the wonder is there
you can see it
in her every movement

she glides on the air
seemingly without a care
like a smooth jazz saxaphone

she warms every heart
she makes every day worthwhile
every night a holiday

the depth of her knowledge
goes beyond any book
it is in her observation

she cannot speak
nor can she hear
but she likes to watch

Gomer LePoet....

Run Baby Run

you turned away and left me here
all alone without a clue
I didn't understand the thoughts my dear
so sorry she says the jokes on you

I have my own life don't you see
you are not always the only part
sometimes I wanna be just me
and I am sorry if it hurts your heart

I have other friends not just you
and though I care an awful lot
I need not tell everything to you
just be happy with what you got

these are things I feel her say
she is right I'm not the only one
so go and do things your own way
I'll set you free run baby run

Gomer LePoet....

Have I done Something Wrong?

It is just a question maybe a song
but have I done something wrong?
You seem so distant now am I to blame
if so I hang my head in shame

can you please tell me what has changed
why have I become a memory past
it may seem simple to you in passing
I'm now a sailing ship without a mast

so the question remains in my mind
and it has been here for much too long
please shine your star so I can find
have I done something wrong?

Gomer LePoet...

Now I lay me

now I lay me down to rest
like a warriors drum my heart pounds inside my chest
anticipation was not out of line
her soft kisses placed upon me set afire my soul sublime

now I lay me down with joy
her gentle touch and soft whispers tossed me like a toy
her warm breath and heaving sighs
love was everywhere especially there in her eyes

now I lay me down to dream
of natures beauty the trickling of a wooded stream
hoping she will stay here with me
is my hope beyond all hope that this will be

Demons of Desire

look at that squeeze
my god is she hot
the way she swings those hips
sets my soul on fire

I'm begging you please
give me a shot
to taste those sweet lips
Demons of Desire

check out those wheels
that gorgeous paint
the chrome shinning in the light
the way they conspire

let me see how it feels
see the ladies faint
as I cruise the strip all night
Demons of Desire

fancy place on the beach
now thats the crib
make them all jealous for sure
take me much higher

tell me how far I must reach
how to act so glib
greed and lust not for the pure
Demons of Desire

Junior saw it Happen

we were lovers and we were friends
I felt in my heart that she was the one
I would have traveled the worlds ends
but what I heard fell on me like a ton

she was seen with a supposed friend of mine
holding hands and giving out sweet kisses
in the movie house down on 4th and Vine
I'm left with this bitter taste of dead fishes

Junior was walking by and he saw it all
he said he was shocked by this display
so he got on his phone and gave me a call
I was gonna ask her to go steady just today

guess I was the silly fool to think she was mine
love is such a folly guess girls can be so fickled
maybe I can get my brother to buy some wine
and me and Junior can go get ourselves pickled

but you can bet the day after I get straight
I will probably need me a real good slappin'
so I don't go and beg her for another date
maybe it was a mistake but Junior saw it happen

Doctor Wu

slightly west of Hollywood
on the road to Singapore
looking for a cure for my baby
nothing less and nothing more

you can tell when Sadie lies
the proof is right there in her eyes
she said she was done with smack
but once again she is off track

stupid words to stupid songs
but we knew the thoughts  were true
no doubt where the heart belongs
if only not so sad and blue

can you help me Doctor Wu
can you find that garden path
can you tell me what to do
before I feel the pain of wrath

strung out here all night
yes I'm crazy yes I'm high
but still I'm just an ordinary guy
I just cannot find the light

can you hear me Doctor Wu
all the time that I've wasted
all the love that I've tasted
you know that I'm telling you true

just please set my Sadie free
help her to return home to me
I miss her kisses so
can you hear me doctor

Man Overboard

the storm was well observed
you could see it in the distance
signs of discourse obvious
there was way too much resistance

the skies were turning hell fire red
serpent seas thrashing at the sides
visibility extremely limited in his head
prepare for oncoming tides

batten down the hatches matey
set the main sail in it's proper place
rocking to and fro sickness coming on
taking on excessive water splashing in his face

the bilge pump is out of order
sinking deeper by the moment
huge wave of discontent knocking now
increasing the internal torment

with a final fling of natures force
all this energy that was stored
flung him to his watery grave
SOS came the call the man was overboard
  
hypothermia wont take to long
to settle in his aching heart
bitter cold words of his final song
tearing the canvas binding all apart

Morpheus... aka Gomer LePoet...

Now You See Me

I finished before I started
creating my own mass extinction
the power of my word
silenced the potential of renewal
I wanted it so much
and I couldn't have it
my own anxiety
created my own black hole
gone in a flash
consumed
dying

Gomer LePoet...

Insufficient Evidence

I tried to have you arrested
I called the cops and feds
I told them you had stolen my heart
since then I've been on meds

they asked me for positive proof
there could be no doubt
you can't just make a claim
I don't care how much you shout

I said hey take a look at me
my face is red my breathing very short
I'm nervous as an expectant father
now where do I file this report

do you have any pictures
just how will we know
I bet she is beautiful huh
her smile has a special glow

are you kidding me my friend
she is the queen for all seasons
she takes away my breath
and her beauty confounds my reasons

I know she will drive me mad
so now I'm pleading my defense
it looks serious so don't tell me please
I have Insufficient Evidence

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

Get Louie

Louie is bad guy
he's the **** of the earth
he's been causing trouble
since the day of his birth
nobody likes him
not even his mom
shoot him stab him
blow him up with a bomb

get Louie

he's a rotten cheat
and a ***** liar
when he was a kid
he liked setting kittens on fire
he'd trip you on the steps
thought he was funny
and when you weren't looking
he'd steal your lunch money

get Louie

his day will come
someone will do him in
a left to the gut
and a right to the chin
shoot at his feet
and make him dance
roll him in mud
and pull down his pants

get Louie

well the day has come
he finally met his match
they found him in the dirt
down by the strawberry patch
he was hog-tied naked
and gagged with a rag
and stuffed up his ****
was an American flag

we got Louie

Dreamer

I dreamed I touched the sky of blue
I dreamed I was alone with you
the night so divine and love was blooming

though dreams so seldom come true
a woman so beautiful like you
to touch my heart would surely be dreaming

when I'm alone late at night
I close my eyes and take that flight
dreaming is the way I capture you

your kisses take me to a new height
of ecstasy and burning light
I would do anything to make this dream come true

Gomer LePoet...

Ramblings Part I

Hippy dippy weather men, continued dark all night,
one potato, two potato, keep trying until I get it right,
you roll em up and roll em up, mark em with a 'B',
put em in the oven, the truth shall set you free,

every time I close my eyes, something new goes down,
feel like Mr. Parker, lost in Barrytown,
the caves in Altimira provide historic news,
before Elvis it was Carl, who had those blue suede shoes

ding **** the witch is dead, at least that's what they say,
does wearing garlic necklaces, keep werewolves away,
or am I thinking vampire chicks, who like to play the game,
keep those fangs where they belong, I'm not here to claim

I know I've seen your face before, is must have been in a dream,
I've been in this chase before, a very familiar theme,
the small brown fox, chased a large black bear,
not very smart, unless you really don't care

heart equals love, love equals pain,
anyone who's been in love, has also been insane,
please excuse me , don't mean to intrude,
hope you don't think, that I'm being rude

will the politicians, ever get it right,
they say one thing, then change it overnight,
we keep replacing them, but nothing seems to change,
is there something wrong with me, but doesn't that seem strange

I bet I can keep this up, then again maybe not,
too much Sterlings Merritage, the killer's changed the plot,
now I need to lay it down, say good nite with an angels kiss,
once again I search the sky, look for the abyss

The Request

I need you in here, and I need you right now,
yes sir boss, what is it that you need,
I need an application, I want you to show me how,
give me the information, and I'll take the lead

I need this application, to do anything I want,
anything at all, is that what you really mean,
that's what I said, and in every kind of font,
this is going to be tough, is this for the Queen

I don't want to hear, that this can't be done,
I'm just not sure, where exactly do I start,
you're supposed to be the wiz, they say you are the one,
I am very good, but your information is short

I want every whistle, every bell, I want the best,
I'm still not sure, just what you want, can you tell me more,
just run along, and start it now, quit being such a pest,
I just need the information, I'm not trying to be a bore

why can't you just do it, why do you make this fuss,
I cannot reach the stars, if I don't know my destination,
I want it by tomorrow, now I've go to catch a bus,
but, please,  listen I need clarification ….

My Lonely Heart

she has been away
for only a few hours
yet my heart feels as though
it has been days
she doesn't know
how badly
I miss her
she can never know
how deep
she has settled
inside my heart
I try to keep busy
I try to not think of her
I try to fool my heart
it doesn't work
it never has
it never will
I can only hope for
her safety
her peace of mind
her happiness
and maybe
every once in a while
she will think of me
and feel my lonely heart
reaching out to her
across the miles

  Gomer LePoet...

Forgotten

we all have our moments
our highs and our lows
when everything is wonderful
then begins the woes
now this feeling of loneliness
has taken on control
the feeling of being forgotten
spiraling into this hole
there was this special one
who once brought new life and hope
who refreshed my life anew
washed my soul with loving soap
but things have changed and she has gone
even these words here feeling rotten
when will life ever play fair
it is hell feeling forgotten

Gomer LePoet ....

Stone Eyes

you look but do not see
you do not see what is inside of me
so cold so dark so unfeeling
what would you find if I removed the peeling

an animal of pure disdain
growing darker from the falling rain
an arrow pierced thru my heart
how can I explain just where do I start

everywhere I look I see tears
souls who are hurting hiding their fears
their clouded future and sad doubt
no understanding of what it's all about

so I turn my heart to stone
knowing I will wind up left all alone
and my eyes they refuse to look
they turned to stone too stolen by the crook

love divine never stopping by
in this world of mine and now I cry
never to stroll in the court of the king
strumming my mandolin and now I sing

where should I go to slowly die
no need for you to wonder why
wearing my dark veiled disguise
trying to hide my cold stone eyes

Cell Block 7**

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 B.
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  

Gomer LePoet ....

Just the Facts

just give me the facts ma'am
that's all I need
the rest is just conjecture
the planting of a seed

did you see him or did you not
was he tall dark and handsome
did he steal away your heart
and now holding it for ransom

I cannot arrest your make believe
but I will follow every lead
you just have to tell the truth
did he make your torn heart bleed

I'll book him now apply the cuffs
throw him in the clink
it seems you are about to cry
at least you seem on the brink

but tears will not help me
they disguise the true known acts
so wipe your eyes my darlin'
just tell me the facts

My Lonely Heart -Day 4

Tuesday
after early day sun
the day turned dreary
stormy and rainy
I tried keeping myself
busy
trying not to think
about the one
who fills my heart
with joy
sometimes with sadness
that's my fault
expecting more
much more
than I should
much more
than I have a right too

I painted somemore
on my room
until it got
too dark
from the storm clouds
looks like
I will need
more paint
I sure need
more sunlight

as the darkness
crept into my room
I found myself
at the familiar place
looking once again
at her pictures
I become
more amazed
everyday that I look
she is so beautiful
you can see the beauty
it is behind those eyes
I get lost
looking into those eyes
trying to read
the message there
sometimes
it seems to say
help me
I am a lost little girl
I have gotten older
but I am still that
little girl

I miss her
I miss her so bad
I wonder if she thinks of me
across the miles

Believing in Love

I know sometimes it seems so hard
to feel there is someone who believes in you
who loves you unconditionally
will still love you no matter what you do

someone who will give hugs to you
when you are down and feel alone
someone who will raise you up
who understands your silent moan

maybe you have been burned before
giving your trust then see it fade away
when someone turned their back on you
your world came to a crash in a single day

you have tried not letting your heart
run freely like the wind
guarding it oh so closely
punishing yourself for having sinned

but that doesn't work out now does it
you feel empty and search guidance from above
the only thing that will fill your heart
is believing in love

Nights of the Round Table

his name is Arthur
he is the king
friends and foes
rolled up sleeves gathering

two of a kind
or a simple straight
hide your eyes
make them wait

call their bluff
bet too high
every **** week
the days pass by

you can't stand
to stay away
flick the chips
more work than play

a shot of milk
you force a grin
sweat runs down
you wipe your chin

I'll see your 5
and raise you 10
drop your shades
over and over again

the bell has rung
your wife has said
it's time for you boys
to get to bed

you and your sons
stuffed with cake
tomorrow you'll wake up
with a bellyache

but you wouldn't miss
be it truth or fable
a week with the boys
nights of the round table

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
poisonous 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?

Remember When

I remember when our friendship began
We felt free, like Jane and Tarzan

So many smiles, so much laughter
Our friendship grew even closer

We chatted and talked for hours
Never before experienced a friendship like ours

Remember when the friendship turned to love?
Was this from above?

We laughed, cried, & loved together
We questioned and sometimes no answer

Days, months, & now even almost a year has gone by
Sometimes we ask ourselves why

We have shared so much & grown so close
Will we ever be together, no one knows

We hang on to hope & the memory
For the future no one can foresee

Friends can make awesome lovers
Deep under the covers

But lovers can never be just a friends
It is much too hard even to pretend

Memories last a life time
I remember when, do you?

Silent Ending

the universe in all it's glory
plays on creating a magnificent story
new worlds are born and old ones die
that's the way it is no need to wonder why

some like our Earth spring forth new life
while death claims another march to drum and fife
exploding force the final crying scream
the fatal ending of an old man's dream

the flash of light falls on insignificant eyes
the world turns its head saying it's goodbyes
hush it says no need pretending
we leave to a silent ending

Do Not Remove

under no circumstances
should this label be removed
I want this to remain
as a symbol
across my forehead

is for the love that I have tasted
and all the time that I have wasted
and I am the LOSER

Mes Confessions

you never leave my mind alone
I find that to be so beautiful but dangerous
I often stare wantingly at my phone
wishing we could speak just to hear your voice

missing your touch on my soul
although you have touched it so many times
the daily thoughts we shared filled the hole
in my empty heart the sound of chimes

now we are like ships passing in the night
although the feelings remain but left unspoken
I still get jealous when I see your words requite
upon anothers thoughts it leaves me broken

there are many things about who am I
that may leave one with much more to desire
but my love for you makes my heart cry
inside of me still burns this fire

imperfect as I tell but more down so deep
there are most likely many more layers
that just haunt me at night in my sleep
on my knees my whispered prayers

yes I confess my undying love for you
how my dreams have been penned for your sight
although it seems likely you already knew
how much I miss your kiss goodnite

Wailin on the Blues

Well my guitar is wailin, solid bluesy growl,
I look up at the moon, and all I can do is howl,  
bend those notes bittersweet, if blues is what you like,
my soul is deep in pain tonite, stand up closer to the mike

pour my heart to anyone, who is listening and understands,
wish I had my friends here with me, hammerin their baby grands,
cause when you're feeling all alone, music can help you grieve,
got nothing in my pockets, got nothing up my sleeve

but I do have this friend of mine, he's always here with me,
he helps when the times are bad, takes real good care of me,
I call my friend Lester, yes he's built by Mr. Paul,    
six hot electric burning wires, just waiting for the call

BB and all his friends, would be very very proud,
and when I hit that echo box, I'll drive right through the crowd,
don't know if things will turn out good, not sure what that means,
I could be left just standing here, me and my machines

I'm wishing that the Oak City lady, sleeps real well tonight,
don't know if I'll still be here, when comes the first daylight,
Got a huge amount of wailing, pulling me down to the ground,
crank me up just one more notch, could be lifeless when I'm found

Ghost Writers

the eerie darkened sky
the wind howling from the west

you can hear the horses hooves
pounding in the night

a full moon is in the backdrop
creating scary shadows on the wall

the great Owl's hoot warning
that danger is approaching

you slip out of your bed
slowly crawling to the open window

hoping that you see nothing
wishing you could see something

a crackel of wind swept branches
startles and you jump inside your skin

a scrolling appears across the western sky
Ghost Writers were here it says
Ghost Writers in the sky

scurrying along
behind the tree of life
changing focus
seeing with new eyes

words unspoken
hide my face
in silence
hide my heart
in fear

What Happened?

Things could be better
they never seem to quite approach grand
despite all the planning you do
things never turn out like you planned

you were going to be a doctor
a lawyer or a even a cop
maybe a fireman scientist or banker
but life got in the way and you had to stop

you had to change your directions
you had to think things through
it was one thing or another
something always blocking you

but you never gave up your dreams
it was just a matter of which one would come true
you became a father a mother a companion
whatever you did the best you could do

so though things could be better
they could be so much worse
to give it all a way and give up
would have been the most evil curse

The Tree

the nights are colder now
the stars seem much brighter somehow
when the clouds let you peek thru their cover
the days getting a little drearier
as the trees lose their color
and the winds much brisker
won't be long old winter will be here
freezing drizzle and snow
I take a walk thru the woods
find the old stream singing it's song
as it flows slowly over the rocks
there I see the old oak tree looking
so forlorn with its bare branches
wishing spring would return
4 foot off the ground
in the belly of this big old oak
is a carved heart with an arrow
and lettering inside the heart
I run my fingers over the lettering
Glp loves TAS
a tear falls
I wish for spring too

For the want of a nail

I was so terribly lost inside my mind
there was no way out that I could find
I had a hammer but that was all
I needed more to build this wall

build this wall to keep the monsters out
then it wouldn't matter if I had doubt
they could not get me and pull me down
or laugh at me and call me a clown

I needed nails like a railroad spike
big long and thick the kind I like
but not even a 3 penny could I locate
and I can hear them coming they won't wait

I challenged them but they do not scare
I thinks it because they do not care
I tried hiding but it was to no avail
there was no wall for the want of a nail

so my losing battle to keep my wits
pounding on tables in anger fits
my body hard but my mind so frail
all for the want of a ****** nail

Love of the Common Man

Todd wrote so eloquently about this thought
the world is not run by princes or kings
it's not about the fancy things you bought
or the owners of gold and diamond rings

the elite who spend their time building their crown
soon pass on only to be replaced by another
the world is more than a pretty face in a gown
our world is the common man and his brother

the hard work and dedication to man the wheel
to seek a brighter future for our fellow man
nothing comes for free there is no special deal
love for each other we must give as much as we can

no one knows the future there is no crystal ball
no one truly knows the past and where it all began
this world with all it's mysteries we wish we knew it all
but this world continues on the love of the common man

This is my Dream

you say there are times I make you smile
I hear these words and they in turn make me smile
making you smile has always been my dream

you say there are times I am unfair and make you sad
I hear these words and they in turn make me very sad
making you sad is my own worst bad dream

lying next to you looking at the stars so beautiful
you lying next to me your face so beautiful
a nearly perfect dream

feeling your body next to me your skin so soft
feeling the muscles in my body tighten so hard
my dream of desire

smelling your scent touching your hair so incredible
your hand on my bare chest kissing my lips so sweet
my dream of total consumption

sharing my fears my hopes lying in your arms
feeling every inch of your naked body
my dream of caring and lust

this is the way you make me feel my love goddess
this is the way you say I make you feel so warm
this is my dream  


Gomer LePoet ....

hey I like what I see
so I must see what I like
get me some to take away with me
they surely won't mind

everything is just for me
like the wheels of a shiny bike
oh I will leave a small dribble you see
  make it seem that I am kind

thoughts that sting like a bee
take my hand I'll take you on a hike
when I get tired of this you'll be free
there will be something new to find

It's not like we have history
we only met my finger in your ****
I stopped the bleeding now I must flee
I don't owe you for healing my mind
