Letter of Rejection

We are sorry to inform you
your services are not needed
your thoughts superseded
and I'm sorry for the pain

We request you not call us
or send us any letter
this will not get any better
we ask you to refrain

We ask that you go quietly
do not ask for our number
do not disturb our precious slumber
the patter of falling rain

We can call our attorney
he can keep you in confusion
make you pay for your intrusion
so sorry for the stain

We reject your inquisition
this is your final notice
please follow our man Otis  
it will not help you to complain

Like an Eastern Wind

tell me
your philosophy
the thoughts keep going
in and out of my head
like an eastern wind
I can feel it flow

you're making me laugh
you're making me cry
the only hand you lent
was helping me die
breathing in my essence
blowing away my dreams

so tell me
your magic words
that you chanted at my site
that raised my hopes
but not my body
touched by the falling
bitter
snowflakes

Link and Duane

long ago in a land of my youth
when I noticed music made my mind drift
I had no idea at the time I was very short in tooth
I only knew that it made me feel it was a special gift

as my teens arrived I was in the groove
suddenly I began hearing the electric strings
no one before made my ear and my feet move
guitars sat in the back and were for rhythm and things

new faces arrived and out in the front
playing amplied sounds not a sound I knew
only a few years older was this a trick or a stunt
tremelo and vibrato and echo some inventions new

combed wavy hair never ever out of place
handsome smiles twinkled eyes driving the girls
I wanted to have that kind of look on my baby face
make some money buy the ladies diamonds  and pearls

the lads of early rock guitar Link and Duane
not even close to the sounds of the boys of today
but they were the beginning of music in the fast lane
wonder what they are doing now Duane Eddy and Link Wray

Listening To Bruce

How many times, has it been now,
after searching high and low, somehow,
when I wanted something fresh and new,
I always seem, not surprisingly, to return to you

with Every little kiss, you first got my attention,
with southern country kind of jazzed, no, not a new invention,
That's just the way it is, and that's the way it was,
sounded really cool, specially if you had a buzz

He took us down The spirit trail, he left us in the Hot house,
The changes from here, to there, was like from man to mouse,
King of the hill was his special plan, and used his Spider fingers,
he crawled along the Great divide, carefully he lingers

he was shaking his Shadow hand, tickling ivory to Swan song,
now we have barely touched the surface, still he moves along,
cruising thru the Funhouse, dark as night, searching for his crown,
Listening to Bruce, never gets old, at least not In this town

Listening to Todd

          It seems like 30 or more, the number now eludes me,
          Listening to Todd rock the house, it's a good as it gets,
          He asks the question, “Who's a Crybaby Now”?  You see,
          I think he has me there, climbing all over those frets,

          He bends the frequency, to pull on my ears
          sometimes so sweet, it brings me to tears,
          I can feel his passion inside, and I can feel mine too,
          is this the way to act? , am I happy, or be I blue

          There's an Itch in my brain, and he can't get to it,
          I have a free will, and I know how to use it,
          walking carefully now, trying to avoid the mines,
          extremely important, that I keep Parallel lines

          He saw the light in her eyes, and chanted “Hello it's me”,
          we all knew, that Love was the Answer, so plain to see,
          so off to your Hideaway, your secret hideaway you go,
          its the Love of the common man, but how could you know

Little Green Light

Surfing with the Beach Boys, surfing on the net,
in my little deuce coup, or a shiny new corvette,
stopping for some burgers, or maybe some spaghet,
riding on a surfboard, or a fancy water jet

stopping at a music site, or a page of ****,
did this all happen, before you were even born,
now you're at the chat site, looking so forlorn,
waiting, waiting, waiting, all you can say is ****

waiting for you girlfriend, or your boyfriend all night,
wondering if they might have, missed the early flight,
then it finally happens, your heart jumps with delight,
right there in front of you, is the flash of little green light  

you just cant wait to say, I'm so glad you're here,
like the one on the other side, was sitting very near,
you can sit back now, chat and drink a beer,
that little green light, bringing smiles and good cheer

Living on the edge of a Broken Heart

I know the pain is for real
I try to brush it off like it's no big deal
but you put me out here right on the edge

I feel like I have a broken seal
love is leaking out like a punctured wheel
just one more step before I fall off the ledge

I know you tried your very best
you have said your lines and need some rest
like actors on the stage we both played our part

but I wonder is this some sort of test
a hard time controlling the pain in my chest
feel like I'm living on the edge of a broken heart

Look into my eyes

running in circles
searching for answers
so many untruths that I despise

as each day passes
and time robs my soul
I'm not getting closer I realize

hey mr guru you're such a wise man
fill me with knowledge
don't feed me with lies

can't you see how desperately
I need direction
all you need do is

look into my eyes

Lost

a piece now has gone the passion now is lost
replaced with hollow words from my lips
maintaining was just too much too high a cost
and now I feel from my grasp it slips

words that we all know too well in this life
pain, sorrow, emptiness, frustration, strife,
friend, madness, insanity, greed, pathetic, sad,
numbness, right, wrong, thoughtless, bad

uninspired with empty thoughts of where I go
feeling seasons change winter's chill and frost
time will somehow repair this heart I know  
now I am plain and simple,  just completely lost

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

Love Potions

when romance is lacking
and you have exhausted all thought
seeking out a witch
can be a dangerous desperate move

it is not like the days of yore
when you're locals were easily sought
welcome to the new age
desperate measures needed finding your groove

Madam Ruth was the only one
who answered your post of exasperation
her credentials lacking
but her demeanor seemed perfectly fine

she waved her hands
over a caldron of her imagination
she said now drink this
and go to the corner of 21st and Vine

hours without success
only boys smiling at your fancy
was this a lost cause
was this the end of the line

Ruth said it was guaranteed
this batch had been recommended by Nancy
a smudged 8 was discovered
should have read love potion number nine

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

Magic Box

                      I have this secret box
            where wonderful surprises appear
                  day after day I look inside
               to see what magic has arrived

              magic things that pull my strings
                     and help me to see clear
                    it is a strange day indeed
           when I look and find nothing inside

         mystical words and heavenly thoughts
                     sometimes perfect art
             music that does capture the ear
                     and send my soul aloft

           incredible views of natures beauty
                   that penetrates the heart
              gazing down on a beautiful face
                       with lips so very soft

                      today like any other day
                 I have rushed to peek inside
                 but this is one of those days
                 where disappointment grows

                   little of any consequence
                 or interest has me satisfied
               today the Magic Box is empty
                  I'm sure my sadness shows

               I suppose this is the realization
                that before was just a dream
            that magic only appears to those
                  that are looking for a star

              to wish upon and dream about
                   this digital super stream
               if the magic should reappear
                     I will secure it in a jar

Maid in China

she was my ayi in Shanghai
a diminutive young lady with a beautiful smile
tough as nails though small and shy
everyday she would walk a dusty mile

to cook and clean at my whim
and bathe my tense body of beaded sweat
after working out at the private gym
her mastery of sponge I would never forget

her soft hands and pale skin a visual treat
her dark hair and eyes that glitter like an Asian moon
large Persian towel there to dry my feet
offering me a taste without the use of spoon

she was my maid but more my lover
though her duties she refused to dash
she had pride like no one other
her naked body shown thru undone sash

I sweep her up and take her in my arms
carry her to my bed of silken sheets
for hours I avail myself of her charms
with rice wine and candied sweets

her kisses sweet and always select
the beauty of her warm wet ******
she knew the ways to keep me *****
she was my perfect maid in China

Make up Your Mind

Searching for the light,
I try to do it right, I know,
looking everywhere wishing that you were here,
blindness clouds my eyes,
so that I cannot see,
trying to decide which way I should go

You think that its impossible,
but you'll never find out by standing in line,
I say anything is possible,  
if you wanna find out,
you have to make up you mind

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'

Mama's got a Squeeze Box

every night after dinner
mama goes into the parlor
she opens up her case
and pulls out her Horner

she taps her toes
and pulls and pushes
in and out the air moves
as she sits there in the corner

the tunes are reminiscent
of the times gone past
all that's missing is the oompah
all night long and daddy can't sleep

German and Austrian
no yodeling is heard
daddy's wasting his time
trying to count the sheep

cause mama won't stop
the music's in her blood
she like her squeezebox
poor daddy doesn't so much

Mandrake the Magician

now you see him
and now you don't
you will marvel at this magic
while the villains won't

**** he is gone
or changed in an illusion
he can read your mind
and cause constant confusion

the bad guys will lose
crushed by his friend Lothar the King
the strongest man alive
wearing his fez and a golden ring

Mandrake waves his magic wand
to hypnotize the evildoers
while his lady the Princess Narda
applies the skewers

Theron, Hojo and Bradley the chief
keep him protected from harm
with Magnon, Lenore and Karma
at his home Xanadu keeping warm

the villains are many and rotten to the core
Cobra, Brass Monkey and evil Deleter
even the Enchantress Aleena must scurry
Ekardnam his twin in the mirror retreater

so you may try as you might
to remain evil and mean
but Mandrake and his crew
will make you come clean

Manhattan Lady

Strolling aimlessly through the streets of the city,
feeling sad and alone, looking for some pity,
thinking tomorrow will be, just another waste of my time,
going through the motions, another huge mountain to climb,            
running in circles, I keep falling for that same old trick,
and I continuously punish myself, with that same old stick,
I need to find something to inspire me, someone I can trust,
the city bus driving by splashes me, and immediately gets cussed,
why can't I find that someone, someone who really cares,
someone who will listen, not constantly changing chairs,
it seems as though I'm doomed, to feel love nevermore,
then walking along W165th street, someone is struggling with a door,  
I see this enchanting lady, her key not working right,  
across from Hilltop Park, the Audubon Ballroom said the flashing light,
I asked if I could be of help to her, she smiled and nodded slightly,
She said she came to dance here, she came here almost nightly,
I pushed and shoved and grunted, made sounds of all my might ,
finally it opened, it was dark inside, no dancing here tonight,
she smiled at me once again, and thanked me for helping out.
I told her I could sing for her, we could dance and shout,
I sang as loud as I could sing, we danced in circles like a carousel,
we laughed and we talked, and that night I fell,
madly in love with this lady, sent to me in a spell,
That night my life changed, no longer was my future shady,
that was the night I fell in love, with this Manhattan lady

Man on the Hill

You see the man on the hill,
he's searching for his thrill,
you know he's been up there all night,
yeah he's been there before,
searchin for the shore,
he just can't see the light,

He tried everything he knew,
to keep his mind off you,
but he just can't get it right,
you know when you said goodbye,
you hurt more than just his pride,
but he just can't get it right, cause he still loves you

You see the man in the cage,
you know he's rummblin with rage,
you see his world has come all undone,
he just doesn't understand,
all the things that he planned,
he's lost his love for havin fun

He gave his love,
but you needed more,
then you said you would never leave,
he gave his heart,
but you let him fall
let him grieve

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

Maphrodite's  Child

I am no greek goddess of love
neither am I a god
not quite sure how I got this way
maybe eating too much scrod

I like wearing frilly things
I also like to fight
owner of many golden rings
I'll kick your *** for spite

am I this or am I that
I do not really know
like a ****** I am fat
but some call me a **

I have no dangling participle
nor have I glove of fur
nothing to yank or dip into
yet my emotions stir

I might take an operation
to see how it would be
I'm leaning toward a manly man  
have an add-a-****-to-me

but I'll still wear my flowered skirts
and lacy underware like this
but when I'm out with the boys
I can stand and take a ****

yes I will be a legend
a kick *** girl gone wild
people will stand and point at me
there goes maphrodite's child

Mary Go Round

she lies in the garden her mind consumed in dreams
spinning this way then that way it seems
she can almost breathe in the smell of her lover
mixed in with the daffodils and lilacs and one other

her pretty blue dress flutters in the fall breeze
leaving her soft legs uncovered above the knees
she dreams his touch underneath but it is her own
skillfully manipulative fingers loosing free a moan

after all it is her temple this is her genuflection
wonders if her lover dreams of her in his reflection
she should go she knows that is the proper answer
but if she leaves  who then will lovingly romance her

spinning in the garden where wild kisses land galore
round and round goes Mary confused by this for sure
torn betwixt and between her lips tremble for an answer
on her tiptoes pirouette like a ballet dancer

again her mind rolls thru the clouds of blissful rushes
feeling his hands on her supple ******* tongue flickered hushes
she feels his eyes staring into her own eyes of grey
take me now my darling please never go away

as she awakens from weary torment thrown away the chains
the release of her special fragrance releases all the pains
the morning rain drops breathing in the sound
from high above we smile and watch Mary Go Round

"Master Of The House"

My band of soaks, my den of dissolute's
My ***** jokes, my always ****** as newts
My sons of ****** spend their lives in my inn,
Homing pigeons homing in
They fly through my doors,
And they crawl out on all fours

Welcome, Monsieur, sit yourself down
And meet the best innkeeper in town
As for the rest, all of 'em crooks:
Rooking their guests and crooking the books
Seldom do you see
Honest men like me
A gent of good intent
Who's content to be

Master of the house, doling out the charm
Ready with a handshake and an open palm
Tells a saucy tale, makes a little stir
Customers appreciate a bon-viveur
Glad to do a friend a favor
Doesn't cost me to be nice
But nothing gets you nothing
Everything has got a little price!

Master of the house, keeper of the zoo
Ready to relieve 'em of a sou or two
Watering the wine, making up the weight
Pickin' up their knick-knacks when they can't see straight
Everybody loves a landlord
Everybody's ***** friend
I do whatever pleases
Jesus! Won't I bleed 'em in the end!

Master of the house, quick to catch yer eye
Never wants a passerby to pass him by
Servant to the poor, butler to the great
Comforter, philosopher, and lifelong mate!
Everybody's boon companion
Everybody's chaperone
But lock up your valises
Jesus! Won't I skin you to the bone!

Food beyond compare. Food beyond belief
Mix it in a mincer and pretend it's beef
Kidney of a horse, liver of a cat
Filling up the sausages with this and that
Residents are more than welcome
Bridal suite is occupied
Reasonable charges
Plus some little extras on the side!
(Oh Santa!)

Charge 'em for the lice, extra for the mice
Two percent for looking in the mirror twice
Here a little slice, there a little cut
Three percent for sleeping with the window shut
When it comes to fixing prices
There are a lot of tricks I knows
How it all increases, all them bits and pieces
Jesus! It's amazing how it grows!

(Oh, sorry love
Let's get something done about that)
I used to dream that I would meet a prince
But God Almighty, have you seen what's happened since?

Master of the house? Isn't worth my spit!
Comforter, philosopher' and lifelong ****!
Cunning little brain, regular Voltaire
Thinks he's quite a lover but there's not much there
What a cruel trick of nature landed me with such a louse
God knows how I've lasted living with this ******* in the house!

Master of the house!
Master and a half!
Comforter, philosopher
Don't make me laugh!
Servant to the poor, butler to the great
Hypocrite and toady and inebriate!

Everybody bless the landlord!
Everybody bless his spouse!

Everybody raise a glass
Raise it up the master's ****
Everybody raise a glass to the Master of the House!

my play has many more acts
take a seat and just relax
I can promise you one thing
in the end everyone will sing
I'll mesmerize you with my bling
I'll pull the rabbit from the hat

wipe my feet on your welcome mat

pleasuring ourselves is very grand

Mein Shaft

I know many people, are aware of the book,
when Adolph spoke, the whole world shook,
this tyrant, this madman, thought he had a clue,
the best thing for his world, was to eliminate the Jew.

His only achievment was this book of his fears,
Mein Komph was his struggle, for all of those years,
he penned another describing his craft,
of playing with himself, he called it Mein Shaft

For this book of his, totally explained,
this closed minded fool, was very small brained,

how did he happen, we were sleeping?, I guessed

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

Miami Vice – The Song – From First Kiss Rock Opera

The night was ringing, with violent sounds,
the echoes of turbulent dreams were flying,
being chased by villians, like foxes and hounds,
through the streets, hear the voices crying

seems he had been, a witness of crime,
he was offering his service to the city,
the cartel found out, he was taking the time,
his interventions would allow for no pity

duck your heads, run for the cover,
these beasts of violence, will sure take your life
hide with the Feds, save your lover,
be wary of traitors, they cut like a knife
      
the wailing of sirens, tear through the night,
warnings of immanent danger for you,
seek out the dark, stay out of the light,
you and your lover with your love so true

duck your heads, run for the cover,
these beasts of violence, will sure take your life
hide with the Feds, save your lover,
be wary of traitors, they cut like a knife

Still thinking of that First Kiss ….

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

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

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

Mirror Mirror

Hey you there, yes you, do you have a minute
I'd like to talk to you if you can spare some time
I have this situation I need to seriously discuss
it's about my true friend, I think I am committing a crime

hey, don't point that finger at me you ***
you are not guilt free buddy boy
and knock that smirk off that face before I do
you act like you bring nothing but joy

I mean you were that one that told her
yes you were the one that told her I love you
I know you think that is all you need to say
but what can you offer other than words you fool

you better come up with a much better plan
one that makes much more sense than that
another one who has the right has already asked
and all you do is offer her words, words in a chat

oh I don't have any doubt that you sincerely care
but your selfish ways have created a royal mess
do you think you can stand tall and display a pair
can you just back away, believe she won't think less

I think it is now perfectly clear your reasons for joy
you love her because she has expressed her love too
and you find that so dam hard to just let go
but we both know it's the only right thing to do

so Mirror Mirror on the wall reflecting that sad sad face
can you find the will to prove that you really care
you would think that between the two of you
one would find the courage, I double dare

reflections of a mad man
David Nelson Apr 2013
Morning has broken
the crickets and bullfrogs
musical concert is coming to an end

the sun is slowly awakening
the mockingbird is stirring

with the light strectching
arriving over the horizon

singing in unison with the
babbling brook

a sleepy headed yawn
rolls out of my dried throat

I glance over and you are smiling
with your half open eyes

good morning you whisper
I touch your hand

go back to sleep my darling
the morning has only broken

Mr. Spacemen

flashes of light in the sky
a thundering boom in the valley
must be something in my eye
no way I saw what I'm thinking

can't catch my breath
running through the bramble
feels like I'm getting closer to death
I see hundreds of lights blinking

over the ridge crawl on my belly
peeking for any movement
can't stand up my legs feeling like jelly
a door opens on the shiny ship

a creature of strange faces
dancing like some fool
another one exits exchanging places
spinning forward doing a flip

a third one appears clapping his hands
they join together and bow towards the west
music begins sounds of old rock bands
leaning forward I suddenly slip

I roll down the hill and land on my back
laying motionless covering  my eyes
hoping they don't put me on the rack
I hear yelling from far away

I feel the hand grabbing my arm
shaking me I hear my mothers voice
wake up Gomer you're in no harm
just a bad dream you gonna sleep all day?

wow it was a dream seems no way
I know it was real I know that it was
I looked out my window shades of gray
I heard someone let out a giggle

from behind me under my bed
there they were all three
fingers over lips shhh they said
they smiled and made their noses wiggle

My Library

my library is crammed full, some of it ****,
somethings in there, I don't even get,
but that's who I am, and what I'm about

stories, movies, books and such,
all overflowing into the living room hutch,
I even found an old jar of sauerkraut  

Plato, Brokaw, and Chaos's Gleick,
Saving Private Ryan, and Naked Gun shtick,
I'm here, there and everywhere on the map

Sagan, Obama, and General Powell,
who here remembers, Thurston Howell,
Gilligans Isle, now that was some goofy crap  

and if you know me, my music's the bomb,
some loud as hell and some really calm,
Mott the Hoople, All the Way to Memphis and back

I'll listen to Bethoven, I'll listen to Bach,
but my favorite of course, is kick-*** rock,
Nectar remembered the future, it's in my stack

Sabato likes politics, and Roberts the past,
Dan Brown's novels, has the action real fast,
Schopenhauer had little regard, for the girls

Schindlers's list was a gripping tale,
Titanic was cool but had a horrific sail,
I always really loved, Shirley Temple's curls

Sherlock Holmes, was a real tricky dude,
I remember when I saw, Mary Poppins ****,
Shawshank Redemption, was a powerful flick

Monty Python's search, for the Holy Grail,
old time rock with J.J. Cale,
the first Alien story was really slick

now I've barely opened, the door inside of me,
there's a hell of lot more, of me to see,
so I'll probably be back, with much more to tell

my poetry of course, when I find the time,
always looking for, a reason or rhyme,
see y'all later, come back, sit a spell

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

My Lonely Heart -Day 2

Sunday has arrived
the sun is shinning
I awaken with sleepy eyes
still yearning for more
more sleep maybe
more time to dream
I check the E-mail
hoping beyond hope
but
there are no messages

I awaken
every morning
hoping
that some words have arrived
from maybe late
the night before
or early this morning
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

but today
no words
was not expecting any
but I could still hope
maybe
I should go back
go back to sleep
and dream
dream she hears
my thoughts
across the miles

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

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

the 4th day of the journey into an emptiness that surrounds

My Lonely Heart -Day 5

Wednesday June 6th
a repeat of yesterday
after early day sun
the day turned dreary
stormy and rainy

I turned
to her picture
early
looking at her
eyes
lips
curves
she gets
more beautiful
everyday

I found
the video
of Casey James
and
it made me
think
of her
the song
wanting to be
near her

I'm afraid
that
this time
she will not think
of me as much
wanting
to sever
our relationship

she has so many
reasons
and I have
given her
many more
that thought
brings
tears
to my
eyes

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

My Pal Joey

A fine young Italian boy, lived in the Big Apple City,
he really made me laugh, now he's gone, it is such a pity,
brother to seven gorgeous ladies, always needing his help,
got hit by a corporate big shot, he left town, not even a yelp

Maurice the Space Cowboy, this was his imaginary pal,
he really loved all the women, fell in love with every gal,
good lookin and ever so friendly, never a time when he felt alone,
hard working and extremely kind, never an irreverant tone,

his friends have all moved on, most of them married away,
still single and searching for only he knows, every night and day,
moved west to California, trying to enhance his career,
but his agent was of little use, she was never exactly clear

so sad to see you go my friend, I'll miss you more than you know,
your line of “how are you doin”, always stole the show,
I hope one day you will return, and even though you don't know me,
yes good luck to you, whatever you do, you'll always be, My Pal Joey

My Pop

quite a few years have passed
since he has fallen to bone and dust
I don't know why
but I thought about him this morning
for the first time in a long time
I knew many things about him
but I really didn't know him at all
I regret this fact
I miss him
all the conversations I would
like to have with him now
well it's just too late
I was too busy with my life
he was busy with his life
I did mourn him for quite a while
but like I said
it has been a while since I have
thought about him
I miss him
Oh did I already say that
I wish I could call him on the phone
or stop by his place
sit and chat
about his thoughts
his feelings
his desires
I miss him  

Gomer LePoet...
don't forget to tell your Pop, you love him!
