The has been
The begin
The end
Ladies with the name Lynn
Next of kin
Twins
"You have to win"
Gin
So many men
So many women
"Going to the loony bin"
Music by a violin
The redskins
"SIN"
Might have been!!
The writing pin
"What's in"
Flynn
People that are to thin
To much "Within"
The inn
Taking a fist to the chin
Perfume
Gloom and doom
Being a groom
To assume
To presume
A classroom

Nothing that really matters
If I had my rather's

When I die

I will miss

Having you to love
Remembering, As I look down from above
among the doves

You being by my side
All those years you were my bride
Alongside

Your touch
The way it felt
The way it made me melt
To you I knelt

Making love to you by candle light
all the excite
the delight

How I use to set and just watch
you move
with nothing to prove

Sustaining  our love
Never was it draining
It was done with no training

The way we escaped
The days as they shaped
As though they were videotaped

I will miss so much

I will miss

US
!!

When I am dead and gone

Will anyone visit my  stone
Miss me or wish that I was back home
Will anyone be broken hearted that I left them alone
Will they keep me in their memories and keep me  known

When I am dead and gone
Will they still call me an S.O.B.
Call me crazy
I hope that they would remember
that I was not lazy

When I am dead and gone
Will they remember that I was the one that they could  call on
I was the one they could depend on
And rely on

When I am dead and gone
I will be free of all the games
Will they remember my name
without getting inflamed

When I am dead and gone
Will the people that hated me
Will they regret not taking a chance to get to know me
If not, Guess what, they can *******

When I am dead and gone
There will be no building that bares my name
I hope people remember I lived my life to the fullest
With no regrets
I left this life with no debts
and I always took a chance and took the bet

When I am dead and gone
Will it really matter
I will be gone
!!

Heartbreak and misery

Two things I felt when you left me

Two things that no one needs

Two things that will make your heart bleed

Two things caused by misdeeds
and when you mislead and deceive

Two things that will make you take heed

Two things that will bring you to your knees

Two things that will make you grieve

Two things that will make you, not believe

Two things that will make you leave

Two things that will make you naïve

Two things that will make you step back
and reprieve

Two things that is hard to perceive

Two things caused when there is no longer we

Two things caused when you can no longer agree

Two things you could never foresee
or knew that they would be

Two things that will cause you to be a divorcee

Two things that have
common realities
and that is the actuality

That I was left with when you left me

!!

The Pain

The night you walked out the door
And you decided you would no longer be my wife
And that you no longer wanted to be part of my life
You should've  just stabbed me in the heart with a knife
"The Pain"

All the lonely nights
All the wishing you might
All the mornings that I woke and you were not beside me
All the times I dropped to my knees
Caused by
"The Pain"

Just walking around in a daze
My days
Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays
Saturdays......
Nothing but a haze
"Time"
How unkind
"The Pain"

My heart
It cannot stand us being apart
It cannot find the energy for a fresh start
It cannot stop it's bleeding
It needs you needing
All it is feeling
Is
"The Pain"

During the nights
I dream that you come back
Crying out your name
Then I wake in the pitch black
To realize you are not back
"Panic attack"!!
"The Pain"

I step out into the rain
Because I have no more tears
Scream out your name
Hoping you will hear
And you will come back
And we forget the night you walked out the door
And you take away
"The Pain"
                                          !!

A Man or Woman

Looking for a man or a woman
When with one I miss the other
Not looking for a Mother
Sure not looking for a brother
Need one or the other that I can love forever
That want make me suffer
But will stay together
If I ask to see the other
That statement seemed to contradict the forever
Maybe I should be polyamorous

Like my men handsome, rough and rugged
and
that knows how to use a shovel
and
wears a big belt buckle
with a little muscle
Don't mind if he has been in a little trouble
and
is still a little humble
but
man enough to snuggle

Like my women soft beautiful, incredible
youthful, truthful
but not breakable
Want her to be
magical, mystical
natural

Maybe I should settle for one or the other
But if I did I would miss one or the other
A Man or a Woman

What have we done??

"LORD"
I understand why you would be so done
With
the things your Sons and Daughters
has done!!
No one asking for forgiveness and turning their backs
and you they shun
War after war with this your world we have destroyed
Young men constantly being deployed
Because someone with power is being paranoid
Guns
Replaced the stones that we use to throw
Killing one another
Thaw shall not ****
Now people killing for the thrill
Over a drug deal
or because
of
greed
There is only so much a man needs
Money taken from people that they mislead
Scheme after Scheme
''We can make you money guaranteed"
You placed us in a "Garden of Eden"
Now where pollution is a breeden
You gave us ten things that we needed to do
This is all we needed to do
To honor you
To repay you
For you giving your life
and hanging on the cross
beaten and bleeding
For the gift of life you gave to all of us
Those ten things are a must
It is time for us
to show our love
While we wait for the new world
we will have to endure
all of the storms
as we wait for you to return
I am sorry, I cannot give you a reason
of why, or for
What we have done
!!

What have we done ?
