Helen of Toy

she liked them of plastic
she liked them of wood
she liked to insert them
as deep as she could

cutely painted or plainly plain
it really did not matter
gradually with practice
they got longer and fatter

the pleasure they bring
she had a hole army
they were not whiskered
sweaty or swarmy

they never cheated
or broke her sweet heart
they're always there
to completely finsh what they start

though never in France
she was stolen by Paris
starting a fierce war
meant to embarrass

no need of a horse
no need of a Trojan
no waiting for phones
no need for a dumb man

Hello! are you There?

Hello! Are you there?
I know you said you were going out of town
just thought I would say hi

Hello! Are you there?
Gosh yeah I thought not
just missing you that's all

Hello! Are you there?
Crap it's been 3 days now

Hello! Are you there?

Hello! Are you there?
Are you still gone
or have I done something wrong

Hello! Are you there?.....

Her Words
 
her words still echo in my mind
I try to push them away
but they return to me every single day

her eyes still sparkle in my dreams
I try to brush them away
but they return to me every single night

her love still has a grip on my heart
I try to set it aside
but it is with me every single moment

her name still rolls off my lips
Perly Sunflower, I try to pretend she doesn't exist
but she is with me in everything I do

her memory still is in my mind
I try to forget
but a tear falls for her every time

High Maintenance

I will love you like you have never been loved
I will caress every sacred curve and inch
my hands will touch you softly
my lips behind your soft ear
my pleasure your moan
yes there is cost
I'm High Maintenance

I expect you to love me with the same passion
I want to feel your caresses and kisses
I need to feel the touch of you
your soft lips on mine
your pleasure my dream
I so want to pay
your High Maintenance

Highway 216

cruising to the sounds
of sweet driving guitars
the sun bearing down on my shoulders
my mind drifting to the outer bounds
of the driftwood bitters
and cracked and broken boulders

this highway stretches out
and rolls into banking curves
while the wind blows my long flowing hair
Harley leaves me not one doubt
that which destiny serves
I am on the edge of everywhere

without any care
thought comes at ease
under the sound of roaring pipes
puffed clouds float in the air
somehow seeming to tease
reaching out but they are not there

Gomer LePoet....

House of the UnHoly

thoughts strung on a line of wire
reaching out to nowhere
heads wrapped in leather dreams
hearing the leaves whisper your name
the past has returned in a circle
of orbiting rock of ages
the saviour of your soul
has touched your hand
but your refusal to recognize
his tears of sadness
and how they touch
with the pointed finger of love
leaves you alone
in the
house of the unholy

Gomer LePoet....

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
  
Gomer LePoet ....

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

Gomer LePoet...

I Can't get Enough

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

Gomer LePoet...

I could be wrong

man is hellbent
to create a collision
that is my conclusion
though I have some confusion
I could be wrong

the price of tea
I say reluctantly
nothing to do with China
blame it all on North Carolina
I could be wrong

the icecaps melting
is warming the reason
it happens every season
they why is Minnesota freezin
I could be wrong

political system *****
its all about many bucks
could be *** elephant or ducks
roll the dice see which one clucks
I could be wrong

since you've been gone
everything has gone wrong
it was all your fault you know
I'll get by just you wait and see
... or I could be wrong

Gomer LePoet ....

ICU

when I close my eyes
I see nothing beyond the edges of my mind
predictably breathtaking drops of lives
today tomorrow 1000 years gone by
or only 10 seconds of my wants or wishes
when I look with open eyes
I no longer see the edges or even the reflections
only the monsters from a comic book world
the kings and queens of a tarnished drachma
polishing with breath of oxidating vile
the saviors and sweaters take the punishment
thru clenched-mouthed covered smiles
wishing for hope living for life wanting just a little
save them

Idiot Man

everyone knows about the super hero dudes
the super cool who protect us from the bad and crudes
Batman, Superman, Spiderman even Batgirl too
they use their brains to outsmart villains and fools
to bring justice and kindness to a world sometimes unkind
well I searched all over the net trying to find
a way to create a new man of evil
and no it's not stuntman Evel Knievel

I call him Idiot Man and he lives up to his billing
he writes words of assnine stupidity completely filling
and entire page and more of ideas that are dumb
when he should be in the corner ******* his thumb
he cant recognize beauty when it's right there in sight
he doesn't know how to apologize to set things right
I guess it's hard to find a graceful way out
when you have left absolutely no doubt  

that you are in fact Idiot Man

David Nelson ....

Idiot Man goes to Washington

well I need to come up with a brand new plan
I'm sure there are many more lives I can *****
gosh I bet you I can be a congressman
I mean after all I have no clue

yeah I'll strut my strut and pretend to be concerned
act like I have the people's best interest at heart
I'll argue with the others like they have learned
instead of doing right I'll pick my nose and ****

so round and around and around it goes
every four years the people try making a change
replacing the current Heckle and Jeckle crows
with new wiener shakers just as strange

so after four years of wasting everyone's time
what should I think up next
I mean after all I am Idiot Man
maybe send a picture of my **** with text

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 ...

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

If I Had My Way

If I had my way
I would take you away
and shower you with flowers and hugs

If I had my way
the world would be as one
no more poverty no more wars

If I had my way
helping others who need help
would be rewarded not how fast you run

If I had my way
tears would be replaced
by smiles and happy thoughts

If I had my way
inventions would help all mankind
not buy you another fancy car house or boat

If I had my way
fairness would be the rule
rudeness greed apathy would be unaccepted

If I had my way
the world would be at peace
to share and enjoy the beauty as it should be

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....

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 ...

If you break my heart

if you break my heart
I know I will never forget you
because I loved you once that will never change

if you tell me goodbye
I know that I will miss you forever
the memory of you will never feel strange

if you let go of my hand
I will know it was not easy for you
for if it was then that certainly is my fault

if the words make you tremble
the special words you once said to me  
locked away forever inside my heart's vault


Gomer LePoet ....

If you don't know me by now

I am gregarious
I am a loner
sometimes hilarious
other times a moaner
sharp as a tack
dull as a dark cloud
sitting quietly in a corner
other times I'm too loud
I'll lay heaps of praise
I'll call you out
wanna know what's on my mind
I'll leave no doubt
I'll give you kisses
call you an ***
never been confused as one
with too much class
I'm a hard worker
and a lazy ***
I can be your lover
I can be your chum
don't like being played
but crazy about games
don't like loudmouths
love **** dames
have fancy suits
and cheapo shorts
like tasty *****
but no ***** or snorts
oh I will take a hit
off a Columbian joint
get high into a trance
laugh dance and point
yes I am this
and I am that
if you need a friend
I'll be more than that
just treat me right
don't pull my chain
then I'll be there
again and again

Gomer LePoet ....

If you steal my heart

if you steal my heart
I will love you forever
so be very careful the words you choose

if you kiss my lips
I will desire you completely
I'll be in the streets shouting the news

if you hold my hand
I promise to never let it go
this is a promise I will always keep

if you say the words
sincerely that you love me
I will dream of you in my time of sleep


Gomer LePoet ....

I give up

I give up
you got me
I don't understand the rules

I show up
you shun me
then you whisper in my ear

I'll shut up
not bother you
you can safely display your jewels

my hands up
no longer question you
you have made nothing at all clear

Gomer LePoet...

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

Gomer LePoet ....

I have you in my book

though she has said
the man with fancy words
holds no special grip
her praises
left to honor him
is like a honey drip

she has told him
her inner thoughts
everything that she feels
he has looked upon her face
late at night
while lifting his biker wheels

he is a total stranger
someone who writes divinely
most often words of lustful ***
who doesn't have the right
to know the things
about her as he inspects

you see I love this woman
and I work so very hard
to earn her love in return
sometimes I work to hard
making many mistakes
saying things that sometimes burn

how can you fight someone
someone who
is only a ghost to you
you cannot reach across
the miles in between
to ask him bid adieu

leave her alone
stop asking for her thoughts
about your words of lust
but it's too late
he already has a book
of her inside his mind I trust

I almost threw away
my dignity and
my chance to keep her near
by begging her
to remove this villain
from names that appear

she was afraid
I wanted to control
every thought that she had
but it was her special words
put in his book
that made me feel so bad

she has acquiesced
with feelings hurt
she still loves me but now this look
but I just couldn't
take it anymore
as he sits and reads his book

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....

I Kissed a Girl

I was only 13 and nervous as a cat
but this feeling inside had me out of control
I looked at her lips and that was that
I had to taste them I just had to know

I really had no idea how to do it
but I was going to try no matter what
we gazed into each others eyes and we knew it
even though I had knots in my gut

I approached from the left I wasn't sure
should I come in from the other side
the feeling inside was the perfect cure
when we finally kissed it was electric glide

now that I have finally kissed a girl
I don't know why I would ever stop
the warmth the ******* heart's a whirl
I'm going to kiss kiss kiss until I drop  
  
Gomer LePoet...

I'll Just Keep On Searching

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

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

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

Gomer LePoet...

I'll leave a light on

I know you have had your courage challenged  
shaken thoughts of pain
mixed in with droplets of despair

life can be so beautiful and yet so suffocating
wipe away the tear stain
your heart desperately in need of repair

tend to your wounds let the healing begin
we somehow find the way
to tolerate though not entirely forgotten

if you need a shoulder to help you through
I am more than just feet of clay
just remember that I'll leave a light on

Gomer LePoet...

Imaginary Lover

I have talked about the concern
the concern for my heart feeling left alone
the mind creating an imaginary lover
a lover who is mine and only mine

the loneliness too often makes my heart burn
I am afraid it just might turn to stone
seeking asylum underneath the cover
satisfaction is guaranteed every time

though she is the perfect woman
more perfect than I could ever deserve
she takes my every breath I breathe
asks me to love her in every single way

her lips are like strawberries bloomin'
dangerous because of all her tight curves
anything she whispers to me I believe
I ask her to visit me every single day

I reach to touch her but she is not there
I never get to hear her magic song
her gut string strums on a moonbeam
I cannot tell her much I love her

that's the sad part of this love affair
is when I awaken and she has gone
once again she was just a dream
a pillow of my mind my imaginary lover

Gomer LePoet ....

I'm Movin' On

That big eight wheeler a rollin' down the track
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland, we're comin' to you
And we're movin' on, oh hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
And I'm movin' on

Mister Fireman, won't you please listen to me?
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattle a roll
And keep movin' me on

Mister Engineer take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on

I warned you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You have broken your vow and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on

You switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
'Cause I'm movin' on, you done your daddy wrong
I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause I'm movin' on

But someday baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on

Hank Snow said it

Gomer LePoet...

Impulsive & Reckless

I want to be totally impulsive
throw my arms around this bliss
I want to completely lose myself
in your tender soft kiss

the sadness in your beautiful eyes
reflects the concern in your heart
I know I compound your fears
I have been in love with you from the start

but let me just take this moment
to embrace this love that we share
I love the feel of your silky soft skin
and the fragrance of your long golden hair

the passing years have changed your look
each photo of you takes me there
I love every one they stir me inside
will you ever understand just how much I care

so I want so bad to be reckless
to capture your heart in my world
to take you away to a magical place
to feel our love completely unfurled

Gomer LePoet....

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

Gomer LePoet...

Incantations of a Madman

do I cast a spell with words of magic
is this just a mantra of proportional tragic
be it of Old English or maybe Germanic
sending ones self into a manic panic

are you one who is a giver or taker
trying to steal her smile you can't mistake her
be ye poet or simple candle maker
behind a mask truly a faker

Mesopotamian pow-wows and Gaelic chants
spiritual wisdom disguised as rants
from deep pockets of knee high pants
Cinderella slippers at a ballroom dance

wave your hand create a Carmen or prayer
conjure up visions of hell if you dare
whispered Yajna like you really care
the fire of Vishnu behind the glare

oh ye of troubled heart and mind
seek out the treasures left behind
feel the breath of tides that bind
bow your heads see what you find

Gomer LePoet....

Indian Giver

I have these thoughts, deep inside my soul,
to not pretend, to not cajole,
and yet sometimes, beyond my sight,
I find that I have, this internal fight,
I give away, looking over my shoulder,
for that return of love, of the beholder,
and if for reason, whatever that it be,
this love is not returned, not returned to me,
I take back, what first I deliver,
I guess that makes me, an Indian Giver,
for if it true, there are no strings,
its just for caring and sharing brings,
release of all, selfish thoughts and acts,
I guess I'm no closer, no depth, just facts,
to giving freely, I still must learn,
or my internal hell, will forever burn
