browsing through my time//
neglecting moments that could've been mine//

(but that's all in my head)

can't mind what derives from the voices that want me dead//
"I love you", I should've said//

(it's always better to accept)

paint my emotions or lay in bed?//
can't no longer dread when there's so much ahead//

it's all beyond "me", rather feel gold than the lead pointed at my head//
David Bojay Nov 2017
In and out the forest//
To confess I need to reflect//
Storage in my dome//
Recollecting for a poem//
Have to think out what's important//
Broken like a door hinge/
Hanging from the cliff ends//
Envisioned in memory lane//
Before I focused on the present, living in vain//
Never knowing if myself I'll forgive//
From seeing beyond this suspenseful grid//
To experience and reflect is what I did//
Lying to the mirror, so what if you're a little weirder//
Beyond self-identification, but people are people and judge the surface//
My soul was stolen from a belief that didn't help me see beyond accepting eternity without fear and uncertainty//
Accepted death, in my "eternal" sleep I'll be awake in contemplate//
Experiencing the essence in the present just makes sense//
(walking around Walmart, typing and typing)
Hoping gave me grief//
When I reached within and confronted "myself" is when I was finally at ease//
It's a movie and I'll lead//
I wish, that you could see, through these letters put together, so that we can just "be"//

My Grand Dad was a Cowboy
They called Him Cowboy Bill
But to me He was Grand Dad
A cowboy for real

He lived His life
In a pickup truck
as He'd go from sale to sale
Buy them calves
when they's almost dead
Then He'd raise 'em
back to health

Cause He's a Cowboy for real
Cowboy and He always will
be a Cowboy still
He's a Cowboy
Cowboy for real

Thought a time
He would settle down
with a woman sweet and fair
Wasn't long and He was
on the road
and no one had to tell her

He's a Cowboy for real
He's a Cowboy and
He always will
be a Cowboy still
He's a Cowboy for real

Ridin' in to Abilene
Boots were shined
Hat was steamed
Thought He'd stop in
at the sale awhile
Talk with some
good ole' boy's He knows

Sittin' down and talking stock
Lookin' mainly toward
the bargain lot
Thinkin' maybe
He'd sit a spell
when He smiled
and grabbed His heart

Adios  He thought
and said good-bye
Mounted up
and took His final ride
The Lord He said
Cowboy come on home
The Cowboy He be ridin' on

Cause He's a Cowboy for real
Cowboy and He always will
be a Cowboy still
He's a Cowboy for real
and He always will

Will you meet me in Santa Fe
I'll be there later
I'm gonna' leave right away
If I get there early
you know just what I'll do
I'll be waiting there for you
I'll be waiting.... there for you

Yes I'll meet you in Santa Fe
I'll be there later
I'm gonna' leave right away
If you get there early
I know just what you'll do
We can't wait can you?
We can't wait...... can you?

Been wondering lately
if anybody knows
what's going on
Thinking probably
that not really many
know even at all

They may catch on later
I won't wait around to see
I'll be gone long gone
Gone. I'll be gone long gone

Will you meet me in Santa Fe
I'll be there later
I'm gonna' leave right away

Yes I'll meet you in Santa Fe
I'll be there later
gonna' leave right away
If I get there early
you know just what I'll do
I'll be waiting there for you
I will...be waiting there
.......for you.

I'd feel like after the Alamo
Feel like only disaster
If ever your love
would ever go
there would be
nothing left after

You know the country
would mourn
They'd fly the Lone Star
at half-mast
I hoped that your love
would never go
Because my love it will last

When you take
a paycheck as a cowboy
in this new
post-modern world
You'll know the value
of a Yankee dollar bill
It's never worth the
sweat and the toil

When you are
this cowboys lady
in this God forsaken age
I hope that you'd never
have a single doubt
That the cowboy is worth
the price that you paid

You'll find me
there at the Alamo
There would be
only disaster
If ever your love
would ever go
there would be
nothing left after

You know the country
would mourn
They'd fly the Lone Star
at half mast
But I hoped that
you'd never go away
Because my love it will last

Time was and maybe
it'll soon be again
When a woman was proud
that her man was a Man

I'll stand by you 'cause
your my Texas Rose
But if you go
I'll join the boys
at the Alamo
'Cause it's the kinda'
battle I'd a chose

You'll find me
there at the Alamo
There would be
nothing left after
I feel like after the Alamo
Feel like only disaster

I hoped that your love
would never go
Because my love it will last

Because my love.....
it will last

All around dark and cold
the sun has lost it's light
I feel but only depressed

Then there's you
you shine and never fail
I wish but only for you

When you smile
I think maybe there is more
but the dream it slips away
to return...Oh return

And when you smile
We'll smile again
and We'll return
to dream

Then the wind
it blows you
I dream again
but no it's not to be
but a dream.

Just to touch your emotions
Just to know how you feel
Just to touch your emotions
Baby I'd beg I'd lie I'd steal
Baby I'd beg I'd lie I'd steal

Just to get some reaction
a little more closer I sigh
Just to get some reaction
Baby I'd love to see you smile
Baby I'd love to see you smile

Still I see you slippin'
Oh I see you slippin'
I see you slippin'  
away from me
I know that you
been slippin'
Oh I see you slippin'
I see you slippin'
away from me
There's no more laughter
only tears

Telephone is ringing
is there someone at all
When you answer
your screaming
I simply wanted to call
I simply wanted to call

Just remembered devotion
Just been thinkin' it through
Just remembered devotion
Whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to you.

Still I see you slippin'
Oh I see you slippin'
I see you slippin'
away from me
I know that you
been slippin'
Oh I see you slippin'
I see you slippin'
away from me
There's no more laughter
only tears

Just to touch your emotions
Just to know how you feel
Just to touch your emotions
Baby I'd beg I'd lie I'd steal
Baby I'd beg I'd lie I'd steal

Baby I'd beg... I'd lie... I'd steal

This is actually a pretty nice little Jazz tune. From the response it doesn't seem to work as Lyrical Poetry. The song can be heard on Facebook under G Rog Rogers. It reached #283 in USA on one international chart.

As I watch the wind
Bend the smoke
And you start to choke
The truth is
I already know
You are the wind
And I am the smoke
Wither to your ways
Surreal appeal
Great in so many ways
I remember so many days
I thought of you
But still didn't call
Just the thought of you could make up for the fall
But I'd have to let go
If it happened to be so
I'll fall on my own
And land on my throne
Another high moment

Allegro

I remember you
from way back then
when we danced
in the dark of the night
I remember you
from way back then
when your love was
brighter than light

Do you remember me
from way back then
when my words were
more than they seem
Do you remember me
from way back then
when the music was
a faraway dream

Baby hold on tight
and don't let go
We're dancing on
the water now
Baby look me eye to eye
and don't look around
We're dancing on
the water now

I remember you
from way back then
when you never did
what you were told
I told you to
leave me alone
but I knew that
you would not go

Do you remember me
from way back then
back when I
was just a child
I remember the kiss
that you gave me
was the kiss that
made me go wild

Baby won't you
please kiss me again
We're dancing on
the water now
Baby take my hand
and be my friend

We're dancing on
the water now
Dancing on the water now
Dancing on the water now

Dancing from the
Big Bang back
Dancing from the
Big Bang back
Dancing from the
Big Bang back
Baby

Hey now B-Bopz back
Back Back better get back

Don't you go believing
all the freakin' lies
and screaming
'Cause you know me
better than that
Baby you know me
from way way back
Better get back back
Baby Better get back

I remember you
from way back then
when we shared
the bread and the wine
When the Holy Water
touched your face
I knew that you
would be mine

Do you remember me
from way back then
when our love was
shone all around
Do you remember then
I kissed your cheek
and said Baby you
gotta' run me down

Baby I been tryin'
and tryin' and tryin'
to get through all this
liein' and cryin' and whinin'

Dancing on the water now
We're dancing on
the water now

Baby look me eye to eye
and tell me the truth
'Cause everybody knows
Doves don't lie.

Dancing on the water now
We're dancing on
the water now

Dancing from the
Big Bang back
Dancing from the
Big Bang back
Dancing from the
Big Bang back
Baby

Right on
B-Bopz Back!

I will be your mighty man
if you will be
my fragile flower

For the strength of you
within my hand
is far greater
than any mountain

Your softest word
whispered in my ear
will raise the best
of aspirations

While your kiss
upon my cheek
uplifts Our fields
of forever

So We will lay
beside Our souls
as Our spirits
run free together

We will seek and search
to truly find
Our place together
as lovers

I then will lift my eyes
to mirror yours
and surely glimpse
the grace of Heaven
