Dance with Me

God knows what a sinner I am, He knows I am a fool,
I can take bones that break, but my tears can fill a pool,
why does he give me a heart, that breaks so easily and hard,
please don't walk away my love, I need you on my dance card

please take me into your arms, hold me, hold me tight,
dance with me my lovely one, dance with me all night,
spin me round and round, like you do with my mind,
no never leave my heart alone, I'm not that hard to find

In no way am I perfect, I have so many flaws,
dance with me, hold me tight, brace me from the falls,
needing so bad your perfect mind, you give me inspiration,
since we met I haven't been the same, that's my explanation

Gomer LePoet...

The 12th of Never

you ask how long I will stay with you
you feel that I might drift away,
will I always be here and true
I will promise you each and every day

as long as there is a moon above
and stars continue to fill the skies,
I promise this to you my love
the stars will fill my lonely eyes

although the constellations slip unseen
every night they do return,
you'll find them somewhere in between
the light and dark you learn

you ask how long I will stay with you
I need an answer both true and clever,
this I swear and pledge to you
I will be with you until the 12th of never

Still Raining, Still Dreaming

A rainy day
that I can dream on

If Only

If only I had been there
when she came walking by

I wish I had been there to hold her
when she needed to cry

If only I could be her champion
make her dreams come true

I wish I could kiss away her tears
when she is feeling blue

If only I had the words
to fill her heart with love

I wish I could find them now
send them to her on the wings of a dove

If only she knew while I stand afar
wishing she were mine

I wish she understood my heart
If only for one time

Gomer LePoet ...

Without You

I yearn for times gone by so much,
I yearn for your sweet loving touch,
I yearn to have my faith returned to me

I miss those little things  we did,
you laughed and played like a little kid,
when  will my lost smile return you see

my heart is empty, without you in my life,
my days  are so lonely, my nights  are oh so cold,
I pray somehow, someway, my dreams will return,
until then, I'll try to make it thru, without you

I dream of skies  so soft and blue,
but mostly I dream of you,
just trying to find my way thru it all

I rush back home from where I've been,
running  and thinking of you again,
hoping that I have not missed your call  

my heart is empty, without you in my life,
my days  are so lonely, my nights  are oh so cold,
I pray somehow, someway, my dreams will return,
until then, I'll try to make it thru, without you

Gomer LePoet...

Run Rabbit Run

look
there's a shadow there behind you
wait
it's only your own reflection
stop
don't dare take any chances
listen
for the sound of the your own fear

Gomer LePoet ....

Second Thoughts

I wanted to say something profound
but now I have second thoughts
I've been watching from afar
I don't want to step out of bounds
there seems to be some hesitation
not just from me
fear of the unknown?
fear of the unwanted
slow down
take a breath
the right time will come
or will it
I'm having second thoughts
and I think they are too

Gomer LePoet...

Space Time

I wasn't sure how to start this piece.
I was planning to write a piece of prose
or a poem but
I just decided to put down my thoughts
and you may find this boring

The subject is so confusing.
The more I learn about the Cosmos
the less I understand.
The enormity of the majestic thing
we call space.
I am not a particularly religious person
but I do for whatever reason believe
in a Creator
probably because my feeble mind
cannot create any other explanation
that makes any more sense
If this universe was created by
a Creator
what/who created the Creator
if there is no Creator
where did all of the beauty and bewilderment
come from
what was here/there before the Universe
if the universe collapses and ends
then what
if the Universe continues to grow
where is it going
and for what purpose
Am I the only one who continuously
thinks about this

for many years
I had wondered at the Big Bang Theory
was this the first time
was this the 1,000,000 th time
was there a beginning
if so what was before the beginning
is there an end
will there ever be an end
if so what is the purpose
if not what is the purpose
never mind the purpose of us
that is another matter
we, at least those of us here
on this planet as of now
will never know the answers
if the answers actually exist
and who would tell us

the Universe is so beautiful
as are all the creatures
we see everyday in our world
you want to meet an alien?
Say hi to your dog or cat
or one of a hundred thousand
other creatures that roam this earth
life is so strange and confusing
I haven't even scratched the surface
and my head hurts thinking
about all that I wonder about

I am weary now so I will leave it
at that for now.

Pleasant dreams
Aliens

Upon Further Review

five days have come and gone
since the final words from her lips
and though the words were not angry
they were the kind of words that sink ships
instead of growing closer she said
we are growing further apart
and as I ponder upon further review
I felt that sinking feeling deep inside my heart

Gomer LePoet ...

In the cold distance

words of pleasure
words of lust
turn the soul unto dust

thoughts of kindness
thoughts so sweet
bow thee now before thy feet

for the tower is watched by heavens princes
for lovers who come and go
and there are many here amongst us
who plain and simply cannot know

dreams of splendor
dreams so vast
all the precious time has passed

too much confusion
time is the thief
searching now for some relief

the code you speak of is hidden away
you make seek but will not find
we lay our weary heads to rest
try to untangle our troubled mind

in the cold distance
too far to see
explanations of our misery

the wildcat's howl
the solar wind growl
our world remains a mystery

Gomer LePoet....

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 would think...

Gomer LePoet ....

The Touch That Never Came

a beautiful soul
came and went
only allowing a passing glance
it is my doing
my belief
that we never took the chance

only in dreams
of daylight
the dreams of held slow dance
music that played
in our souls
but the touch never came

Gomer LePoet ....

If it Keeps on Raining

rain rain go away
I beg of you hear what I say
I never wanted a broken heart

why did she have to go
how was I supposed to know
I was just a character playing a part

I never read the script
I was a fool and blindly tripped
she took lying to a whole new art

the levee is going to break
if I cannot find a way to shake
these darkened clouds of sorrow

these tear drops staining
and if it just keeps on raining
the levee won't last until tomorrow

Gomer LePoet....

Let it Rain

her soft lips no longer
whisper I love you in my ear
she no longer feels that way
is exactly what I fear

times and things have changed
someone else is in her dreams
while I lay here holding back
I wonder if she hears my screams

she has always been everything to me
though maybe I have not shown this
afraid to show and now I'm lost
no longer do I taste her kiss

now the tears are falling down
I know she can hear my pain
she turns her back and pretends
guess I'll just let it rain

Gomer LePoet....

6 pack of broken dreams

pop the top again
let another one go
It was just a dream
this I know
reaching up
reaching way to high
to pluck a diamond
a jewel from the sky
tears of sadness
and tears of pain
falling from the heart
just like rain
one by one
they have all fallen
no more left
to hear the callin'
time has slipped
slipped away
tomorrow is just
just another day
if I am lucky
maybe someone will hear
and stop my drowning
in this sea of fear
but then again
does it really matter
throw against the wall
and watch another dream splatter

Gomer LePoet...

I've Forgotten

I can't remember now
what was the reason again?
the mind tumbling head over tail
searching for something

aha, the reason
but, the reason for what I ask?
it seems it is not the answers
that are so difficult
but rather the questions

so now that I have the answer
just what is the question?

Questions 67 and 68
does anybody really care?
does anybody care that nobody cares?

It should matter shouldn't it?
Pushed to the edge
pulled to the corner

seek and ye shall find
find what?
How would you know?
I may have known at some point

but right now,
this instance
I've Forgotten

Gomer LePoet ...

You Could Have Called

so you're not coming back
your choice with a clear mind
it was that easy for you
and that seems so hard I find

no dear john letter notes
no sorry but I can't do this
not a see ya later dude
not even a final goodbye kiss  

the way you touched me
it was more than the real thing
this was no children's game to me
you made my heart and soul sing

so you moved on to another place
I will not bow do not applaud
no longer worthy of your love
you know you could have at least called  

Gomer LePoet ...

Go do your thing

thanks for stopping in were the words
that's what she said in her final message
just forget about me
go do your thing

go do your thing?
what the hell does that mean?
just forget the past 3 plus years
and go do your thing

was it really all that simple?
I know that it wasn't
our lives have changed dramatically
so I know it wasn't that simple

guess you just didn't know what to say
there was no easy way
there was only the hard way
go do your thing

but you see that is the problem
you are my thing

but I guess I must move on
some way
some how
go do my thing

  Gomer LePoet...

Free Ride

put another quarter in the slot
the magic dancing horse has stopped
your forever dream has flopped
the nursery rhyme is over

pick yourself up shake off the dust
the world did not come to an end
but you can no longer pretend
there is still so much more

put one foot in front of the other
find a way to help your brother
you cannot save the entire world
but you can do your part

to live life there is some cost
just do not wander around feeling lost
give from your heart and soul
there is no such thing
as a free ride

Gomer LePoet....

Inside

Inside of me
is a man that I knew
who could face these changes
who could exchange these faces

inside of you
is a dream that I see
and now the echos of voices
yes these echos are calling to me

Gomer LePoet...

Do It Again

my baby broke my heart
then she kissed it and made it better
her kisses or so doggone sweet
they seal every letter

she sends to me notes of love
the kind that make me shiver
thinking of her tasty lips
she makes my body quiver

I sometimes make her very mad
it makes her bite her lips
but when I hold her very close
both hands around her hips

her eyes light up with a smile
and start my kisses at her chin
working my way up and down
she says please do it again

Gomer Lepoet...

Searching

searching for the soft eyes
that melt my soul
with every glance my way

searching for the wanting lips
that make me burn
and take my breath away

searching for the golden heart
that loves me honestly
and tells me everyday

searching for the dreamer
who reaches for the stars
and wouldn't have it any other way

I know she is there
because I have seen her
I believe it was only yesterday

when she touched my heart
it was you .... I love you ....
is all I can say

Gomer LePoet...

There once was a man

There once was a man of simple thoughts
his dreams however carried him to a higher plateau
that left him feeling empty when he awoke
in his dreams he played games with angels
he sang beautiful songs with sinners and saints  
he knew how and when the world began
he even felt the touch of God on his shoulder

but when he awoke from his dreams
he felt sad and of severe despair
for with each moment's passage
his memory of his dreams faded away
he no longer could remember the names
of the angels he had played with just moments earlier
he could not recall the songs he had sang
songs with kings and Queens and paupers
he could no longer feel the impression left
on his shoulder by the hand of God

he wanted to return to his dreams
where all concerns and fears were non existent
where angels were not that different
from the children he had played with when he was younger
the sinners and saints were former
friends acquaintances rivals enemies lovers    
the perfect balance of love and understanding
the way it should be
the way it could be
if only this man could accept truth

Gomer LePoet ....

Makin' Love

I knew from the start
you had stolen my heart
when I first met you
you were a queen
at the age of sixteen
when I first saw you

there is nothing I'd rather do
then make love to you
I know in time I'll go out of my mind
just dreaming about you'

makin' love
makin' love to you  
makin' love
makin' love to you

always so kind
if I fell behind
you'd be the first to console
you'd always help out
and it left me no doubt
first my heart now my soul

there is nothing I'd rather do
then make love to you
I know in time I'll go out of my mind
just dreaming about you'

makin' love
makin' love to you  
makin' love
makin' love to you

Fine Things

I am sitting here with a nice glass of wine
conjuring thoughts of things that are fine
like the laugh or giggle of a small baby child
or a purr of a kitten that's been saved from the wild
the stars in the sky when you look up to gaze
on a cool fall evening there are so many ways
you close your eyes and think up new dreams
of this wonderful world it's more than it seems
for whatever you can imagine it probably is real
the sense of seeing, of hearing, and feel    
drink it all in like this nice glass of wine
conjuring thoughts of things that are fine

Gomer LePoet

The Light

the light from your eyes
shows me the way
to humble
thankfulness

the light from your smile
shows me the happiness
that can be
that will be

the light from your heart
shows me true love
that will last
forever

Gomer LePoet....

Silent Night

we threw rocks
we tossed stones
our hearts were bruised
but no broken bones

we fight hard
and love the same
we can't get along
and that's a dam shame

I love her eyes
she hates my shadow
I'm not really following
just the same direction staying low

is trust an issue
I don't think so
but with the way things are
how would we know

think it's more fear
over my lack of skill
of keeping her attention
I need her thrill

so another day gone by
turn on my light
we haven't spoken
another Silent Night

sent her a message
said I miss her bad
she acknowledges the thought
think I'm going mad

will we kiss and makeup
it gets harder each time
she wants to go
two empty hearts end this rhyme  

Gomer LePoet ....

I heard the angels sing

I was walking in the fields of loneliness
searching for my empty dream
when the sky opened up
and you appeared

treading on the thinning fragile ice
avoiding plunging ever deeper
then the beam shined upon me
and removed the things I feared

your kind and gentle reaching heart
saved me from the gloom
saved me from myself
the bells began to ring

your soft kiss placed upon my lips
your touch upon my crying soul
when I heard you say my name
I heard the angels sing

Gomer LePoet....

If I am forgotten

was I really here
or was it my imagination
did I really exist
if you no longer call my name
what a shame

if I reach out
will I be able to touch you  
can I feel
if my heart has been rejected
as I suspected

the memories fade
how long will it take to erase
if I look in the mirror
will I become the real nowhere man
what is the plan

tides ebb and flow
as does love I must presume
5 point 5 trillion years
since the cosmic blast
the stone is cast

No Place to go

I have no place I have to go
and no special time to be there
stuffed in the corner of a cardboard box
reading William Shakespeare
my jaw is tight muscles tense
need a breathe of crisp clean air
but I have no place to go
and no special time to be there
that trip to Paris will have to wait
the businesses are closed
everthing just standing still
like an artists picture posed
will my mind get lost
will I choose to jump
out of sheer dispair
you see I have no place I have to go
and no dam time to be there

Do I

Do I love you much too much
can I live without your touch
is it right to feel
the way I feel about you

Do I mean as much to you
do you feel the same way too
so I ask myself over and over
Do I love you, love you, love you

Gomer LePoet....

I Don't Want to do this Anymore

we've been friends for such a long time,
we've been lovers too,
but lately somethings missing I find,
somethings gone wrong and I feel you're blue

I know that we tried, this can't be denied
but I don't wanna do this anymore

I feel you want to spread your wings,
you want to fly away,
all the freedom that it brings,
maybe we'll be one again someday

I know that we tried, this can't be denied
but I don't wanna do this anymore

Everything will work out fine
you know the sun is still gonna shine....

Take your time to live your dream,
I'll be with you wherever you are,
take your ride on a moonbeam,
make a wish upon a star

I know that we tried, this can't be denied
but I don't wanna do this
no I just can't do this,
no I don't wanna do this anymore

Gomer LePoet ...

I Can't get Enough

but I'm still gonna find you
cause I'm runnin

From Father to Son

I told him he needed
his father around
but the real truth is
I needed him more
reflections of the end
had entered my mind
I needed to tell him
I loved him

the score of the games
no longer mattered
sharing our past
just spending the time
hoping to bring
some peace to my soul
wanting my Father to know
I loved him

hoping to reclaim
the dreams of a child
wishing to return
to the arms of my Father
one last hurrah
for peace and joy
from father to son

A Storm is Raging

The wind howls
the rain flows
a storm is raging
in my mind and in my heart

the days change
the night returns
a darkness crawls
all over my thoughts

should I return
yes I will return
to the place
where it all began

it is a struggle
but I hear the call
please come back
please return to me

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 thats 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

Gomer LePoet....

Critique for no Reason

there is no reason
in any season
for these things I do
I stand here naked
nothing is sacred
right here in front of you
my logic defies
beyond surprise
a lack of common sense
I march without intent
my passion spent
is my lone defense
if I could change
maybe rearrange
the way my mind concludes
upon my perch
my empty eyes search
these cosmic interludes
no there is no reason
unless you think treason
to the language I speak
as I rehearse
these thoughts so terse
it's not even Greek

Gomer LePoet ....

Even Angels Cry

Storm clouds are gathering most surely it will rain
someone's heart has broken even angels feel pain
odds are stacked against us to make it all the way thru
without being subjected to suffering how about you

has your heart been broken did you draw the short stick
when sure things came undone fooled by a magicians trick
you never understood how things came so unraveled
now you sit all alone your mind completely frazzled
Even angels cry

I guess there are no safe bets no guarantees in life
you throw the dice you gamble cut by loves sharp knife
but would it be more wise to never have loved at all
to eliminate the chances of ever heading for a fall

I don't think you can appreciate the wonder of a kiss
if you run and hide in your own internal abyss
it's alright to make mistakes and even wonder why
but don't forget you're not alone cause even angels cry  
Even angels cry

Gomer LePoet....

Breakdown

Thanks to everyone who has been so kind,
thanks to all my friends but now I find,
my mental state is way out of whack,
its a real good thing I d'ont smoke crack

but my head is ******* feeling like lost,
maybe I'm make believe like Jack Frost,
cause the real world is becoming to much,
feeling like I'm completely out of touch

I hear music and it brings me tears,
these sweet sweet sounds, rolling thru my ears,
I reach out to touch and I reach to far,
thinking like I'm really some big rock star

and though they are polite, and mostly kind,
I know they think, I have lost my mind,
I'm searching too hard, to find someone,
I reach out to touch, and then they run

so it's apparently time, for the ****** bin,
maybe just one more glass of dry gin,
I'd put on my pants and head out to town,
but I think Im busy, having a breakdown

Prisoner

one last turn to see
what had been there for me
sighing now
I am a prisoner

unless a kiss is placed
upon thy weary face
as the bells ring
beneath the setting sun
I am the prisoner

Thinking of You

I'm thinking of you
thinking of you day and night
from early sunrise until the pale moonlight

I'm dreaming of you
dreaming of you locked in my arms
floating around your magical charms

I'm wishing that you
wishing that you were here right now
planning our lives to last forever

A Kiss Goodbye

shed a tear
one last time
reaching out
was once mine
I recall
the dreams we shared
the love that died
nothing left inside
no regrets
no revenge
final verse
a kiss goodbye

ZANZABAR

Here we are
in Zanzabar
in a cafe by the sea
holding hands
and looking into each others eyes
we don't know how we got here
but we know we never
want to leave

I must be dreaming

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 high
up to the burning light
I would do anything anything
to make this dream come true

127 Hasham Street

dancing to the music in her head
she was the quintessential artist

Debussy and Ravel watched her
as she twirled around in perfect circles

her fine laced shoes with flattened toe
she could stand ***** or point

the direction of the flow of her beauty
her long black hair flowing gently

her painted lips so red so bright
I could sit and watch all night

she performed every single night
in front of the 2nd story picture window

I could sit on my deck slowly drinking
a nice glass of the finest drambuie

rolling a fine Cuban cigar under my nose
never lighting just breathing

listening to the music play and
watching the angel at 127 Hasham Street  

Gomer LePoet ...

Let it Rain

her soft lips no longer
whisper I love you in my ear
she no longer feels that way
is exactly what I fear

times and things have changed
someone else is in her dreams
while I lay here holding back
I wonder if she hears my screams

she has always been everything to me
though maybe I have not shown this
afraid to show and now I'm lost
no longer do I taste her kiss

now the tears are falling down
I know she can hear my pain
she turns her back and pretends
guess I'll just let it rain

Gomer LePoet....

Just Make Love To Me

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

friends from the future
lovers from the past
renewing connections
no plans to make it last
he cries out loud
oh I've missed you so
if I hold you close
I may never let go...
