WAKE UP
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
If you wake up one morning and your colors have change hue,
If you wake up one morning and yellow has turned blue,
If you wake up one morning and the sun has turned into the moon,
If you wake up one morning and the birds are singing a different tune,

If you wake up one morning and the light has turned dark,
If you wake up one morning and you just can’t find you’re mark,
If you wake up one morning and day has turned to night,
If you wake up one morning and left has turned to right,

If you wake up one morning and can’t find your feet,
If you wake up one morning and find you’re still asleep,
If you wake up one morning and find she’s gone,
You might just wake up and realize she was the one.

CHOICES
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
If you listen to what’s said, if you listen to all the chat,
Some say this and some say a lot of that.
When you’re hearing all the voices,
It still comes down to making choices.

Some people try to decide for you
What’s good or bad and what’s true.
Just listen to what they say
Then make a choice on what to keep and what to throw away.

When someone gets in your face, nose to nose, and tries to tell you how it’s gonna go
You have a choice to make, you can say yes or you can say no.
You can choose to stand toe to toe.
You can choose to walk away or if punches you should throw.

Just be careful what you choose to say,
Sometimes for your choices you have to pay.
Yes, you get to make the choice of the way it will be.
But remember in life choices aren’t free.

If you choose to tell the boss what you do and don’t like,
He might choose tell you to take a hike.
If you choose to tell your lover, you’ve found someone else to meet,
You may come home and find she chose to throw all you stuff in the street.

You may choose to love someone for the rest of your life.
You may choose to ask her to be your wife.
If she chooses and feels the same thing,
You might choose to buy her a ring.

You may choose for your bill not to pay,
Only to find out the collection man chooses not play.
You may choose to take what you want even if you have to ****
Then you may find out that sword has a double edge and your blood it will spill.

You may choose to travel down a gravel road so long.
At the fork in the road you may choose the road that leads to wrong.
You may choose not to worship and pray,
Then you’ll have to answer for that on judgment day.

We don’t choose when out life begins,
And most of us don’t choose when it will end.
From the beginning no matter what you hear from the voices
‘Till the day it ends, it’s all about choices.

MISSING YOU
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
Online you're the one for me and I'm the one for you too.
When you're not on the net, I'm missing you.
I don't really know you, and we've never met,
But already you've become someone I can't forget.

I'm so confused about what I can do, if I only knew.
It is so hard when you're offline, because I'm missing you.
You're not real to me, just a fantasy,
A dream that can’t be touched, but I can see.

As a friend and a lover there’s so much you can do,
Then when we're done, I'm missing you.
We can talk, we can flirt, and we can make love without shame,
Because here in cyber land that's the name of the game.

Online, you're the one that's there; you're the one that's true.
That's why when you're offline, I'm missing you.
Offline, I know you have a whole different life,
You're a friend, a mother, and a wife.

I would like to meet you in person but what would I do,
If what I saw on my computer in real life just wasn't true.
I’m sad because I know at some point we will be through.
My head bows, a tear falls, because then I will forever be missing you.

If I said I love you,
Would you say it too?
I'm not sure I want you to, you see,
Love scares the **** out of me.

Love brings you close together at the start,
Then as time goes by, love will tear you apart.
Love makes your heart skip a beat,
Then rips it up into little pieces of meat.

Love makes you light headed and puts you in a spin.
Love sends you into a battle you can never win.
When love is good, it makes you see the light.
When love is bad, all you do is fight.

Love can be everything from A to Z,
But love still scares the **** out of me.
Love is something that we all need so much,
To have that soft caress of a lover’s touch.

With love sometimes you get pain.
Sometimes on a sunny day you get rain.
Sometimes you have to let things be what they will be,
That’s why love scares the **** out of me.

If I said I love you true,
Would you call me Boo?
Sometimes good love can go bad,
And I never want to see you sad.

At first when you are in love
It seems like she was sent from above.
Love should always set you free,
But love scares the **** out of me.

As time moves on and love starts to go,
It seems more like she was sent from below.
Love number one was an angel sent just for me,
Then things changed and I knew it could never be.

Love number two was based on lust,
And the more I got to know her; I knew it was a bust.
Love number three I thought she would always be my own,
But then even though she was there, I was truly alone.

I've lived, loved and lost,
And every time it's been at such a great cost.
Love number one, number two, number three
That’s why love scares the **** out of me.

To love someone forever you must have a goal,
You must give up your life, your heart, and your soul.
Anymore . . . I'm not sure what love should be,
That’s why love scares the **** out of me.

Maybe someday I will find someone to hold me dear.
Maybe someday I will find someone to chase away my fear.
To have true love you have to find the key,
And with this key, maybe love won't scare the **** out of me.

IN MY DREAMS
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
Moving at the speed of light,
Traveling on a moon beam at night,
There's a place where everything is what it seems.
I just close my eyes and there you are, in my dreams.

There's a land that has no dimensions and knows no time.
I am the ruler of this land and it will always be mine.
In this domain I am the king and you are my queen.
This place is my kingdom here in my dreams.

In my dreams is a place
Where I will always see your face.
I can love you without fear that away from me you might lean.
I know you will always be here, in my dreams.

In my dreams there's nothing I can't do
Your fantasies are mine and mine are for you.
When I'm with you I know my eyes have a gleam.
You make all my fantasies come true, in my dreams.

In my dreams for you I can fight
Whether I'm wrong or whether I'm right.
Even if what I'm doing is a sin or so it seems
I will always win, in my dreams.

In my dreams I can be your man of the hour.
I can slay the dragon and free you from the tower.
Anytime and anywhere for you I can plot and scheme.
It doesn't matter if it's day or night, in my dreams.

In my dreams I can take care of your every need that could ever be.
I know that here in my kingdom you will forever be with me.
I want to take away all your pain so your love I will redeem.
I know, no matter what happens you will always be here, in my dreams.

I know when I awake you'll be gone,
But that's OK because it won't be for long.
All I have to do is close my eyes and ride down that moon beam,
And there you'll be waiting for me, in my dreams.

THERE COMES A TIME
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
There comes a time in every young girl's life
When she wants to marry and be a young man's wife.
There comes a time and you need to remember this to the end.
It's good to be lovers but first you have to be friends.

One has to be the ying to the other one’s yang.
One has to be the umbrella to the other one’s rain.
There comes a time when she wants a white gown and maids with frilly dresses on,
And a groom and groomsman in black tuxedos and wearing Stetsons.

There comes a time you need to know marriage is about more than a bride and a groom.
It's about being together and letting your love bloom.
Try to keep things moving at an even pace.
Hold on to your love tight while giving it space.

Never hide anything, leave nothing in the dark.
Keep things interesting, always looking for that spark.
You need to be the air that the other one breaths,
And be the tree for the other one's leaves.

You need to be the strength for the other's weakness within,
And be the savior for the other one's sin.
When mining for love, there's one thing you need as a tool.
When excavating true love, you need the golden rule.

You need to be the left to their right, the right to their wrong.
You need to be the melody to their song.
You need to be the up to their down,
And help to keep the other one's feet on the ground.

Your dreams should be theirs and their dreams should be yours.
Keep this in your heart and your love will always be pure.
You have to be there for their every need,
And be the ground where they plant their seed.

So if you want to make it through all the years,
You have to feel their pain and share their tears.
Just a little word from the wise,
Take turns on who has to compromise.

So when you're walking down the aisle, remember something so true,
You are no longer one, now you are two.
But once you say I do and it’s over and done,
You’ve come together as two and now you are one.

There comes a time when a young girl finds a heart of gold,
And she finds a lover that's not afraid to be bold.
There comes a time when a young man reaches his goal
And marries a young girl that touches his soul.

THE ONE FOR ME
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
There can be only one you.
Only you can do the things you do.
You will always be the one for me.
When I close my eyes, you are what I see.

Your eyes are so true.
They are such a beautiful blue;
Or are they green?
I don’t know but they’re prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen.

I love your hair so red;
Or is it blond instead?
I don’t know, can’t really say
But I think about you every day.

Your smile is such a treat.
It’s so big and sweet;
Or is it soft and meek?
I don’t know but you’re the one I want to keep.

Your kiss really gets me off.
It’s so gentle and so soft;
Or is it hard with lots of tongue?
I don’t know, but when you kiss me I’m done.

To touch your skin so Dark
Electrifies me with such a spark;
Or is it your skin so light?
I don’t know but it feels just right.

My oh me, me oh my
I love your long **** legs that reach the sky.
Or is it your short legs that stop at your thigh.
I don’t know but it looks so good I want to cry.

I think what I love the best
Is your perky little breast;
Or is it those huge 44 double D mammaries.
I don’t know but they’re stuck in my memory.

I like the way you walk.
The way you make that big ***** talk;
Or is it that no ***** **** crawl?
I don’t know but I want it all.

I love that high squeaky baby voice.
Whatever you want I have no choice;
Or is it that low deep **** talk.
I don’t know but it makes my legs bend when I try to walk.

You’re the one I want to be with all the time.
One look at you and I know you should be mine.
I close my eyes and you’re all I can see.
That’s why I know you’re the one for me.

EIGHT SECOND RIDE
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
Standing by the rodeo bleachers a cowboy named Stan
Watches the penned bulls with his bull rope in his hand.
The cowboy is trying to get his nerves to subside
Because his turn is next for his eight second ride.

The cowboy freezes and stares in awe,
As he hears the announcement of his luck of the draw.
The cowboy’s fear flows like the ebbing tide.
He tilts his hat and plans his eight second ride.

The bull he has drawn is mean and wild.
This cowboy has drawn a monster named Flower Child.
The cowboy stares at the majestic creature in the shoot;
He knows if he can stay on this bull, he will win all the loot.

The cowboy moves toward his nemesis with a long fast stride.
He climbs on the gate and readies himself for his eight second ride.
Flower Child is also ready and dances side to side with pride,
Ready to make this seem like the longest ever of his eight second rides.

The cowboy slowly mounts Flower Child from the side,
Wraps the rope around his hand and raises the other to signal ready for his eight second ride.
There aren’t many rules that the cowboy must abide,
But he must keep his free hand up and high for his eight second ride.

ONE: The bull jumps from the shoot all four legs off the ground.
Before its legs touch down Flower Child has spun completely around.
TWO: Airborne again Flower Child turns to the left and jumps to the right.
After a complete spin his hind legs hit the ground with a jolting might.

THREE: Jumping up, the bull comes down like a charge of TNT causing the cowboy to slide.
Trying to keep his balance and not end his ride, the cowboy shifts from side to side.
FOUR: Flower Child spins in a circle, like a dog chasing its tail,
As he turns, his hind legs kick up trying to make the cowboy bail.

FIVE: Flower Child, as if set to music, dances to and fro,
Jumping up and down he tries to give the cowboy a throw.
SIX: Moving left then spinning right the bull become airborne.
The cowboy is thrown forward, very close to the horns.

SEVEN: Flower Child begins to spin, spin, spin.
The cowboy’s hat flies off in the wind.
EIGHT: The sound of the whistle hits his ear,
And now there is a new fear.

The cowboy sits on top of this beast all alone.
There is no escape, there is no help; he must get off this monster on his own.
With the bull flying high, the cowboy throws his leg to the side.
In a cloud of dust he hits the dirt hard ending his eight second ride.

The bull snorts and saliva flies as he charges the cowboy that’s down,
But he is intercepted by a wild and crazy colorful clown.
Running, the cowboy grabs his hat and into the fence he collides.
On the other side of the fence he dust himself off and gets ready for his next eight second ride.

DÉJÀ VU
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
I've had many lives and in everyone I've been with you.
I keep coming back and every time there's something new..
You may be short or tall, a blond or a redhead; your eyes may be green or blue.
Now every time I see your face . . . déjà vu.

Sometimes you were a friend standing by my side
Through good times and bad times, helping me through this crazy ride.
As a friend you always helped me do what I needed to do.
Now every time I see your face . . . déjà vu.

Sometimes you were my lover with passions running high.
When you’ve been my lover, the lust would fly me to the sky.
As my lover there were things that I liked and you always knew.
Now every time I see your face . . . déjà vu.

There were some lives where you were my wife,
And that was always the best of any life.
Our love was so strong it would last our whole life through.
Now every time I see your face . . . déjà vu.

There were times when my life, love, and marriage all turned into a mess.
But I always had you to turn to as my beautiful mistress.
When my loves have gone bad, you were always there when I needed you.
Now every time I see your face . . . déjà vu.

Through all my lives you've always been there above the rest,
As a friend, a lover, a wife, and a mistress
You've always been there for me and that's so true
Now every time I see your face . . . déjà vu.

Every time I see you, I know I’ve seen you before,
And there’s one thing for sure as my lives go on, I will see you some more.
In every life there’s the first time I see your face and look in your eyes and every time I knew
That I've known you before, and that now every time I see your face . . . DÉJÀ VU.

THERE'S A HOLE IN THE SKY
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
There's a hole in the sky
And I don’t know why.
There's something I can see
But I'm not sure what it could be.
And I think someone is coming down to get me, to get me.

I don't know where they're living,
It might me in heaven.
I don't know where they are,
It might be on a star,
And I think someone is coming down to get me, to get me,

I took a big sigh.
I think he can fly.
I just saw him pass by me.
He just flew up into a tree.
And I think someone is coming down to get me, to get me.

I don't know of his goal.
I think he wants my soul.
Or maybe for a start
He just wants my body parts.
But I'm sure that someone is coming down to get me, to get me.

If I'm gone in the blink of an eye,
if I don't get to say goodbye,
There's no need to cry
I'll be up in the sky.
Because I'm sure someone is coming down to get me, to get me.

I can't help but wonder why
As I watch the beam from the sky.
I begin to jump about
Why me I start to shout.
Because I'm sure someone is coming down to get me, to get me.

I'm not in bed
But I think I'll wake up dead.
Don't be so sad
It might not be too bad.
Now I know someone is coming down to get me, to get me.

He is now in sight
With his wings he is in flight.
I take a deep breath
Because I know he is the angel of death.
And he is coming down to get me, to get me.

He now stands before me
His wing spread out like a tree.
There's a smile on my face
Because I know I'm going to a better place.
And I know he's come down to get me, to get me.

There's a hole in the sky
And now I know why.
Because I know
It’s time for me to go.
And he came down and now he's got me, he's got me.

STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
I want to possess you forever ‘till the end,
But I know you can never possess the blowing wind.
I want to hold you and always be your man,
But that would be like trying to hold the ever shifting sand.

I want to keep you always by my side,
But that would be like trying to hold on to the flowing tide.
I know these things I want can never be,
So I will just stand by the open sea.

I will enjoy the wind as it blows
I will feel the sand between my toes
I will be there for the ride,
Just to see the flowing tide.

There's a place where I like to stay.
There's a place not too far away.
There's a place where I like to unwind.
There's a place in my mind.

There's a place that you can't see.
There's a place that's just for me.
There's a place that's sweet and kind.
There's a place in my mind.

There's a place where memories go.
I can get there fast or get there slow.
There's a place that knows no time.
There's a place in my mind.

There's a place where I can hide
In plan site throughout life's ride.
There's a place that no one can find.
There's a place in my mind.

There's a place where I can be free.
There's a place where anything can be.
There's a place where you'll always care.
There's a place and you'll always be there.

There's a place that knows no gloom.
There's a place that knows no doom.
There's a place that knows no crime.
There's a place in my mind.

There's a place with no sky and no ground.
There's a place where I can always be found.
There's a place where all things rhyme.
There's a place in my mind.

There's a place that knows your name.
There's a place that keeps me sane.
There's a place where love will bind.
There's a place in my mind.

There's a place that you can't get to by plane.
There's a place where there are no games.
There's a place that you can't get to by car,
But every time I go there, there you are.

INTERNET LOVERS
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
There you are so far away.
Here I sit every day.
We’ve never met and I’ve only seen
Your beautiful face on my computer screen.

I can never kiss your lips so fine.
I can only touch you with my mind.
In my mind you are the best
But I can never touch your breast.

When our encounter has me on fire
I can never touch the spots that I desire.
I can only undress you with my eyes,
To caress your breast down to your thighs.

I can’t smell your essence or feel your softness
Or in the heat of passion taste your sweetness.
No matter what I’m doing or where I am
I can turn you on and watch you on my cam.

I can see your beauty through and through.
I can see your body and the things that you do.
Honey, on the net you are above all others,
Because my sweet baby, we have become Internet lovers.

IF I COULD
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
If I could just kiss you . . . but you have such a stare.
If I could just kiss you . . . but your eyes say beware.
If I could just hold you oh so very tight.
If I could just hold you whenever you’re in sight.

If I could touch you, just to see if you care.
If I could touch you, but do I dare?
You stand there with that knowing smile on your face.
I stand here looking so stupid, a total disgrace.

You look at me and make your little coos.
I look at you and I’m afraid to make a move.
If I could think of the right words as you walk away.
If I could only come up with something to make you stop and stay.

But then you stopped and turned around
With a look that could have knocked me down.
I come to you and you take me by my hand.
You look me in the eyes and you whisper, “oh Stan”

“If you want to kiss me, you have to come near.
If you want to kiss me, my lips are right here.
If you want to hold me, don’t feel any alarm.
If you want to hold me, just take me in your arms.”

“If you want to touch me here and touch me there
If you want to touch me please be sincere”
You leaned in your lips so soft and sweet.
You leaned in and gave me chills from my head to my feet.

I held you close, oh so close to my chest.
If I could judge all my feeling, this was the best.
I touched your skin so soft and tender.
In my arms I could feel your body surrender.

Our lips brushed lightly and I held you so tight
Our lips came together hard with a force that was a might.
If I could, I know I would hold you like this forever.
Even though I know you have to go, I would leave you never.

THE OTHER SIDE
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
Many many years ago or was it just the blink of an eye,
Plans were made for a trip that starts off with a baby’s cry.
Through dimensions from a portal descending in a slide,
Light to dark, dark to light she arrives from the other side.

The learning starts with baby steps and things that are small;
The learning grows and takes her higher as she becomes tall.
But life is about living, loving, and learning so she must decide
What she's going to do with this life now that she's here from the other side.

A mother to me and a mother to more,
A mother to a total of one plus four,
She tried to live life and do what she should;
She tried to help others whenever she could.

Sometimes life would get to be too much on this magical ride
Of living, loving, and learning on this trip from the other side.
But no matter what life gave her everyday
Good, bad, right, or wrong she always stood her ground and did it her way.

Then sometimes the things that we do the things that we sow
Develop the cancers that devour us and cause us to go.
The life that seemed like it would last forever passed in the blink of an eye.
This trip of living, loving, and learning is over and she must return to the other side.

WHISPERS IN MY EAR
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
My soul felt empty like a ******* hole.
I had nothing to live for and no place to go.
There was no light and I felt the end was near.
There was only darkness down a long black peer.

The darkness brought anguish and the anguish brought fear.
As darkness was about to consume my soul, I heard a voice whisper in my ear.
The voice so soft, gentle, and serene said, “Only you know the path to the light.
The light is within you, he said.  You must choose what is right.”

“If you follow this path the light will begin to appear.
Remember the light comes from within, whispered the voice in my ear.
Everyone comes here with a plan and a purpose to this life.
If this is not accomplished there will be pain, suffering, and strife.”

“You could have just come here to have some children to rear.
Or to write, paint, or find the next cure, said the voice that whispered in my ear.
When you can’t find this purpose sometimes your soul can get lost.
You search and you search but can’t find it at any cost.”

“Finding our purpose may seem so far but really is near.
Our purpose in life isn’t always what we think it is, whispered the voice in my ear.
When you find your reason for being, you will find the elusive light.”
Now in the dark things seem so right, up in front of me is getting bright.

I can see the light when I begin to write and it takes away my fear.
There is a voice in the silence but for years I couldn't hear.
I know things will be better and it’s now very clear.
All I have to do is listen because I have an angel that whispers in my ear.

THE SOUL
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
If I could touch you anywhere, it wouldn’t be where you think.
If I could touch you anywhere, it wouldn’t even make you blink.
If I could touch you anywhere, it would be daring and bold.
If I could touch you anywhere, I would touch your soul.

If you believe the eyes are the windows to the soul,
Then look in deep and you will be sold.
If you see something you like and you want to see more,
Look at the smile, you just might find the door.

Once you’re inside the door you can see what there is to see.
Once you’re inside the door you can tell if it’s meant to be.
Once you’re inside the door you can feel what it’s all about.
Once you’re inside the door you can touch the soul from the inside out.

The body is just a vehicle for the soul that much we know.
If human touch is the motor that makes the soul go;
If the soul is the essence of what is you and what is me,
Then to start this motor, Love is its key.

In the night when it’s dark and cold
I want your heat to grab and hold.
I want to bring you into the fold,
I want to hold you tight and kiss your soul.

The soul is what makes us different from other forms of life.
The soul knows the difference from what’s wrong and what’s right.
The soul, when it’s sad is heavy with blight.
When the soul is happy, it is light in its flight.

Every soul has a soul-mate.
Until you find it, you just have to wait.
When the soul meets its soul-mate there’s an electrical surge
The two searching for love, move into each other’s souls in one easy merge.

You are the blood when I bleed.
You are the air when I breathe.
You are the food when I eat.
You are the earth beneath my feet.

You are the tear when I cry.
You are the question when I ask why.
You are the smile when I sleep.
You are the charm that I keep.

I know you know that this is for you.
It’s the only thing I know to do.
You are my eyes when I see.
You are the honey from the bee.

You are the life in my soul.
You are the diamonds from the coal.
You are the left to my right.
You are the meek to my might.

You are the lyrics to my song.
You are the right when I do wrong.
You are the up to my down.
You are what makes my world go round.

You are the light when all I see is dark.
You are the flame when all I need is a spark.
If I could pray for something that I most want to come true,
I would pray that you know that this poem, this love, this life is all for you.

YOU AND ME
STANLEY HENDRIX Apr 2014
Ages ago when things were new
I never thought there wouldn't be a me and you.
Flowers bloomed and the sun shined through,
Because there would always be a me and you.

Then the flowers died and left me blue.
Things got dark there was no me and you.
When things went wrong there was nothing I could do
But wonder what ever happened to me and you.

I know it's been a long time that you've been free.
But can you still picture a life with you and me.
As time goes past if you can see
A time where there might be a you and me.

I know now that too much time has passed, I'm sure you agree,
But it would be great to get together one more time just to see.
I know in life some things just can't be,
But in my mind there will always be a you and me.
