I'd like to plan a chance
impromptu rendezvous
with you

Meet Me near the Beach
by the cannon
at the top of the cliff
That overlooks the pier
and the Ferris Wheel

Just before sunset
To watch the Sun
meet the glistening sea
Sighing in the reflections
To enjoy the moment
of just We between

We can then
stroll the pier
and surely ride
the Ferris Wheel
With all the colors
of the dazzling night
lights ablaze

In the cool of night
We will walk
alone together
and touch that
perfect semblance
of the Devine surreal

We can then
have a cup of coffee
or share a glass of wine
along the Promenade
As We speak of
happiness transpired

The moments gently pass
Then We part with
a hopeful glance
That there is much
more still between Us

Content in a
beautiful evening
well shared

I'd like to plan a chance
impromptu rendezvous
with You.

Meet Me...

Waiting is not my vocation
Patience then not my forte
I could say I've been
standing in the rain forever
But the Sun always shines
in LA

I hear there's an LA Woman
Maybe here is where
She again will appear
The clouds blew through
for just a few seconds
But here in LA
all the skies are
bright blue
sunny and clear

They say She lives
by the ocean
She walks barefoot
in the sand by the sea
Behind Her ear
there's a flower
All then take notice
of She

Her whispers
barely but silent
resound throughout all
conscious thought
Her aura is of love and passion
hoping and never to be lost

There is an LA Woman
The wind makes a carriage
for Her grace
She smiles as if
by Her magic
the moments of
Her movements
are blessed

I will wait
a little bit longer
An hour or maybe
much more
Where minutes
cascade into later
Until again Her beauty
is once more revealed

Waiting is not my vocation
Patience then not my forte
I could say I've been waiting
in the rain forever

But everyone knows
the Sun always shines

As an Artist needs a model
A Poet seeks a heart
An object of adoration
to spark the more
noble aspirations
and the brighter
things that are

The entreaty of
a knowing smile
The slightly tearing eye
The overwhelming
joy of happiness
That sweeps from
your heart to mine

When adorations
meet the adored
It's then beyond
the poets words
For there it all
begins and ends
With the knowing
look of Love.

I never could not love you
All the hours and minutes
every precious moment
again with You I would do

To hold you as I held you
as my lover and best friend
A true love now shattered
yet still affection
that never ends

My prayers are incessant
for the you that now is lost
I hope you will remember
and think back
to what then was

Think of Us always when
We were still yet young
A Love We shared together
that forever is
forever real

I never could not love you
and I suppose
I never will

So when you get to Heaven
and you see that
I'm not there

Remember
I could never
not love You
the way You were
even in the
depths of all Hell.

Such a shame

Whose cause is the effect?

Where are the shoulders
that should carry the blame?

Why and how
could one ignore
the awesomely
tragic regret?

Who are the they?

Those whom to blame
The guilty one that bares
little or no remorse

Should that one be indicted
tried and judged convicted
of High Crimes unto
Unspeakable Treason?

The unforgiven, unforgivable
...unforgiving Patriot

Purposed to rebellion
against the established order
Conscripted from birth unto the Eternal Blessed Revolution

Running insubordinately
when instructed to stand still
Walking when ordered to sit
Standing when advice from all is to lay down

Blame me for surely
without doubt
it must be all my fault

Such a shame

Blame Me.

After all the years
I called her Baby
Never could have dreamed
She would betray me

After all the years
She called me Darling
She was gone and left
without a warning

Leaving after She
spent Our life savings
Now my Baby's been
having her troubles lately

So still and on I go
to those places
We might have
together been
If she had then
stayed true
The way she was
when We began

I remember when
She was there
to save me
From the start
She was my
precious lady

I've been on
my own awhile
But I been learning
I'm still the same
but more determined

Still so and on I go
On the open road
alone again
If only she had
then stayed true
The way she was
when We began

After all the years
I Called her Baby
After all the years
She called me Darling

Never could have dreamed
She would betray me
Gone and left

Way beyond Moscow
where the people they live
The steppes and the forests
the shores and the streets

They sing the new songs
of a people now free
The tunes of great gratitude
for a place far away

That place where good people
they never would stop
Persistent and patient
they played all for one

Hardly a doubt
and forever a pledge
to share what they had
with those who had none

So when you lay down
and you have said
all your prayers
remember in Russia
the inconquerable brave-hearts
We America have won.

"It is good to have Russian friends."

One man alone...emerges
seeking to claim His own

Barely, yes
but still breathing

Desolations disgrace
is what has been shown

Clawing up from where
crushingly abandoned

Sure to escape
the horror the man
He has known

Describe Him
despicable rejected
Quite altogether forlorn
Surely far lower
than hopeless

Still advancing steadily on

There is not one
that He can call out to
Neither friend
nor family or home

Ignoring
the laughter of cynics
Oblivious
to the jeering of scorn

The continuous
critical whispers
only lengthen
the sojourn
He is upon

But still through
the music
of His conscious
His soul cries
a sad quiet groan
The total
incalculable sorrow
of all the man
He has borne

Finding
yet always pursuing
Searching for all
His destiny has sworn

One man alone......emerges
Seeking....... and sure
to reclaim His Own.

Gladiators wear
a twisted smile
More than a
little bit askew

The snarl of
disdainful contempt
and the optimism
of the eventual win

For him it's just
another judgment
day again

Confident in the outcome
His preparation is for war
Knowledge of the victories
triumphed in before

Behind the stoid steel facade
He glares upon the prey
Another snarling man
who expects to win the day

The adversary also
He wears the twisted smile
Expecting that
the man He sees
is another man whom
He will slay

For every day is
judgment day

He's been knocking
on your door
Looking for
another fool
that He may

But the devil done

you are lovely
You said something like
no never not me

Well then maybe
I will take a photo
so you can know
how by this man's eyes
You are seen

A masterpiece of composition
Perfect like beautiful days

A song that maybe only
I will be humming
in all the loveliest
of lovely ways

Beauty is held
by the beholder
So that all might not
have to agree

Lovely is held
in a separate place
So that heartstrings
entwined believe

I will tell you again
You are lovely
Maybe you'll think
Then so you say

We will not need
to look at a photo
Yet you will know
You are truly lovely
In such a beautiful way

Where wars no more

was not Her own
was not Her own

The cross was yours
The cross was yours alone

Waking up hostile
keeps my mind
reasonable clear
A reason for existence
When there is nothing left
of all that I once held dear

Righteous indignation
constant as a plague
Brutal vicious sense
of vengeance that
is overwhelming
over me

Arising to do battle
Awakening in force
Confronting all that tells me
to forget it and just go on

I do walk on
Mile after mile
Listening to the thoughts
coursing through my mind

Surely I know
I am then
tasked and able
to recover what
then was mine
And once again
will be my own

Surely I walk on.

I knew that I truly
did love Her
when I could not bear
to see Her heart be hurt

I knew how much
I surely did care
when I could not bear
to see Her cry

Knowing the grief
She encountered
was darkness
rising against
Her beautiful grace

I knew I always
would love Her
from the moment
tears first caressed
Her angel face

I knew I never
could leave Her
awash in a
tragedy of loss

I knew how much
I loved Her
When Her tears
fell freely at such
a very precious cost

Her anguish was shared
there in my heart of hearts
My arms ached
to embrace Her sorrow

With Her until
beyond the end
I believed We would
always share tomorrow

I knew Our bond
was established
upon the first
glistening mist
in Her eye

I knew I truly
did love Her
When I could not bear
to see Her cry.

Darlin' you know

So I'll just get up
and leave it all behind
get out there
and see what I find
Ask the Lord
to be my guide
every step

Maybe I'll find
my baby's love
in God's good time

Thinkin' 'bout leavin'

get outta' your way
Thinkin' 'bout leavin'

When you smile
the world smiles
with you
Frown and moan
your on your own
When you shed
your tears of sorrow
Honest and true
You know the Good Lord
He's lookin' on

Thinkin' 'bout leavin'

Packin' my pickup

There's running
wild horses

Run Wild Horses
free upon the range
Tame them each

Yes I will journey quite some
very long tortuous distance
just to be positively right there

Later in time I'm sure
I will travel many long
treacherous miles
to then most definently
be somewhere

Possibly shortly thereafter
I will most probably then
leave and you most certainly
will not know or
even really care

Maybe I will go
to a distant place
very afar so that
it is then surely
without doubt
absolutely elsewhere

Why when and where the Spirit
a warm pure breeze always
and once more again
and many times over before
me will beckon and then
me should send?

Truly I am most surely
not possible even
slightly ever aware

Am I sure I will know
when I in time
arrive that place
eventually...
once more again

That place the
promise of liberty
will find home
there to flourish
prosper and grow
quiet but strong
in a brisk but gentle    
prevailing wind

That place where
I finally am able to live
and breathe in peace
If I perhaps
be possibly capable
and might still can

A place that will
allow me simply
and only most hopefully
then maybe perchance
to freely stand
a Man.

there were no God
I would tell you so

But I have seen wonders
and I have seen signs
Supernatural happenings
By the power of Love's
Devine design

Far beyond

of mine or any other
human mind

So some then are good
Some then have faith
Others live just
long enough to meet
an horrendous fate

A life story is told
As the life unfolds
Some lived for
themselves alone
Others lived for
The Higher Hope

Knowing each
thing is remembered
Everything is known

That exist there

Who both forever cares
and Who always knows.

God Is not a racist
He loves each one
and all the same

The only difference being
He knows who's hearts
are His

He hears the furtive
plaintiff whisper
of those who
need a friend

The one whose heart
is truly broken
For the injustice
they know and feel

The smallest child
He hears their cry
and sends the help
they seek

And the oldest one
who has lost life's breath
knowing their final
moment is near

You're not of God
if your a racist
For He loves each

The only difference being
He knows who's heart

They can plant their seed
and live to see the harvest

He'll set things right
'cause He's on a mission
Gonna' send them to Hell
so we can live in Heaven

He's ridin' three horses
Faith, Hope and Love
Ridin' night and day
on the breezes from above
Ain't hearin' nothing
but the whispers
of His doves
Ain't got nothin'
but for the ones He calls Beloved

Listen up now
'cause I heard the rumor
Best take heed
there won't be
any warning
Son of a Gun
goodness knows
He's comin'
Cowboy Dread.
Justice, He ain't just a talkin'.

If you are not a liberal
when you are young
You have no heart

But as you grow older
if you are not a conservative
You have no brains.

Somewhere there is a place
for compassionate conservatives
That is where I stand.

Centerpoint.

Reaching as far as my hands can possible stretch

In both directions.

-R.

I'm not young anymore
but I am not old yet
My youth now gone
but I believe well spent

Paid in full
returned with interest
To obtain the treasure of rich
and wondrous life experience.

Holding dear the absolute
enchantment of living
and the time that might yet still remain

Embracing the joyous moments and memories
of the sweetest glorious reminisce

Even in the rain
Love remains
God alone
remains unchanged
He's still the same
Love remains

The winds they blow
and floods assail
Love prevails
Lightning strikes
then the thunder sounds
Love abounds

Jesus please say now
"Peace be Still"
Seek Love's will.
You have an ear
Oh let them hear

Love's there
Love's near

Then the Love will reign
gentle showers to wash
and heal the pain

The Spirit Winds prevail
gentle breezes
to fill Love's sail

Even in the rain
standing naked
in our shame
Love remains

God alone remains
unchanged
He's still the same

Love remains.

I'm winging it on a rainbow
Surely I will find
That place where
the rainbow touches earth
with golden mist Devine

Within the hills
beside the wind-swept
crystal seas divide
I will await you there

Knowing there to find
the missing moments
Once now but not
forever lost in time

Sheltered there from storm
Awakened there from sleep
The part and participle
of a life forever stoic
beyond the oppressive tide.

Wing it on a rainbow
Touch it and you will shine

As the rainbow touches earth
with the golden mist
of the Devine.

I will await you there.

If all the beauty of existence
were put within a song
Would it not be
the heart of woman
for it then
to be written upon?

Then all the choirs of Heaven
would sing as one

I might then hear the beauty
of the chorus as they sing
And marvel in amazement
from the deepest darkness
of this lowest place I'm in

So never quiet
an hymn of sorrow
nor despise the tears of joy
For those who
from the darkness
yet remember how wonderful life was

Memories awaken
and hope is again reborn
At that melodious
first moment
of a woman's heartfelt song

Hers is in the singing
as life is once
more renewed
Hers is in the song
as is the Heavens
eternal truth

Yes if all the beauty
of existence
were put within a song
Would it not be
the heart of woman
for it then to be written upon?

I sought
the beautiful thoughts
Seeking
the most beautiful words
Searching
to know the intangible
essence of all
the beauty I could behold

Gathered memories
Stored then unearthed
To gaze upon in solemnity
and remember the best

The touch of a loved one
The moments sublime
Smiling memories
of my children
A glimpse of
The Devine

Treasured eternal moments
that never slip away
The joy and grandeur
of a few seconds
In memory held still
to cherish in my mind

Still in such a moment
the remembrance of
insufferable pain
But yet though
the tragic beauty of
eternal moments
forever still remains.
