Angel Azrael

     Dear Jesus, If I could take this time,
I just want to talk to you.
You see most of the time I’m okay
But lately I’ve been feeling blue

I know that I’m not in charge and
I’ve got no say in the order of the list
And though I can get angry, I know
It doesn’t do any good to pound my fist

I know it’s not my place to question
So I’m not here to ask you why
I know you don’t owe an explanation
For the tears that I cry

You’ve taken so many of my loved ones
Over the years and in recent days
Though in my pain and sorrow, I still
Give you my love and your praise

Still fresh is the Death of brother Steve
Aunt Jaunita and Uncle Dean
And even so the ones taken before it feels
Like yesterday that the cut was clean

I can’t command or demand but please
Don’t take my Sister Tina before me
I don’t want her to go, so in my prayers
I ask is this the way it must be

There’s those who will say that the Bible
Is nothing more than a Fairytale
I know the truth and I beg you, I’m not
Ready for my Sister to meet Angel Azrael

Runaway

     Runaway, Runaway, you can never
Runaway, the truth will always find you
It doesn’t matter what the truth is
In the end there’s the truth we knew

In the Goodfellas we can see the truth
Right before our own eyes
Life always catches up to you even
If you’re in your best disguise

The wise guys, the Goodfellas
The family and the golden rule
Never be the Rat remember togetherness
And never play each other for the fool

But the reality is you can’t trust anyone
Soon they all want their own stack
No longer satisfied with just a cut
Eventually everyone gets it in the back

It’s the universal lesson you learn
When you decide to betray
You find yourself in witness protection
And your the stiff you tried to Runaway

The Darkness In My Heart

        Once there was a time when I
Just wanted a place to hide
I kept a shield around my heart
I couldn’t let Love get inside

In the sky the clouds were always grey
And there was rain upon my windowsill
I had Demons for body guards and
Angels they loved to ****

But when I first saw you
I let my defenses drop
I didn’t want to love you
But now I can never stop

Those grey clouds have all disappeared
And now all those Demons run and hide
The deep pain and sorrow has lifted
I can’t remember the tears I’ve cried

Once I was drowning in a Dead Sea
But like Moses you made the Water part
You were the Angel that Triumphed and
Took away The Darkness In My Heart

We got married 04/14/84
I Love You Cynthia!!!

The Left Handed Power

      Don’t let it Happen, no, no
Don’t let this world get to you
Negatively and worry can always be
Defeated by a positive point of view

When darkness falls on the city
And it seems to follow you too
Jesus will be your guiding light
When there’s nothing you can do

A Demons whisper can steal your
Happiness like a thief in the night
A simple suggestion can lead to
Temptation and wrong can feel so right

You’re only human and you can easily
Be found vulnerable in your weakness
But with Jesus you’ll find strength
Despite your flaws and meekness

So just give your heart to Jesus and get
Drenched in his Love & Grace Shower
And you’ll never have to surrender to
The Left Handed Power

Feather Or Brick

          Life it can be light or heavy
You’re the only one who can pick
Troubles can float away or they can
Hold you down, Feather Or Brick

There’s so many mean people
It’s enough to make you sick
You can brush them away or carry them
On your back, Feather Or Brick

Take your addictions and blow them
Away with the wind, habits you can kick
Don’t let them be the reason you fall or
Part of your wall, Feather Or Brick

The Devil is like a Magician
He’s always got a trick,
You can push right through or let it
Stop you in your tracks, Feather Or Brick

Your a candle burning Bright, don’t let
The every day burn you to the wick
Burn it away instead of it smothering
You out, Feather Or Brick

Cerulean Blue

       My mood is Melancholy at best
There’s no words I can use to describe
There’s nothing a Psychiatrist can treat
And no medication a Doctor can prescribe

I know with the comfort of Jesus
That eventually I’ll be okay
I’m where I am in the moment
And for the moment it’s where I’ll stay

We’ve all been there before
Caught in a spiral of everything wrong
Like being in the middle of Summer
But the wind whispers in a cold song

The summer breeze that is meant
To bring you relief from the searing heat
Turns into an Arctic chill that freezes your
Thoughts and sends a message of defeat

The Sun hides behind the clouds though
Its light is still within your view
The sky isn’t dark & grey but more like
In a witch’s tale described as Cerulean Blue

Spurs & Spitfire

     There’s nothing I love more than a
Good Western Movie or good Rock & Roll
Give me the Duke or Clint Eastwood
Or some KISS to feed my soul

I’m a simple man and I absolutely love
Simple pleasures for my joy
I’m a man of sixty three but inside
Still beats is the heart of a boy

So give me Gene Simmons
Who’s known for Spitting Fire
And give me Clint with his squint
& Spurs as a gun for higher

Put them together as foes
Or as partners on a mission for good
Make it a movie like they did in the past
Make it with heart the way they should

I know it’s just a fantasy of mine
Something that only I desire
It would be so great to see Gene Simmons
& Clint Eastwood in Spurs & Spitfire
