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

The Wilted Witch

       She’s a most Evil one
She’s the Devil’s Daughter
She’s got a thirst for blood like a
Dehydrated Athlete has for water

She has a dedicated patience
For hers is a soul eternal
She has a natural curiosity and
Unsuspectingly walks among the Mortal

If you come in contact with her
Make sure you get on her good side
If she feels you’ve crossed her
There’s no where you can hide

Her wrath would be put upon you
Brought from the depths of Hell
You’ll suffer until you die never
Knowing that you’re under a spell

Things will continue to happen as if
Your life was a video game glitch
You’ll never know that you were
Blind Sided by The Wilted Witch

Ready For Love

         When You look around
Tell me What You see
We live in a world of people
Just like you and me

You say you live a life filled
With so much pain and sorrow
You tell me you’ve lost faith
For a better world tomorrow

You look at me and you think to
Yourself that we’re worlds apart
You think you’re the only one
To have a broken bleeding heart

I’m telling you that everyone faces
Their own challenges and everyone tries
But inside everyone’s soul hurts
And you know everyone cries

Life is hard it’s filled with good and bad
Like a coin tossed it can be heads or tails
Everyone has their triumphs in life
Inevitable though everyone fails

Everyone of our set backs is just
Another brick in our walls
Everyone’s who’s climbed to success
Had to endure their fair share of falls

I don’t have all the answers
I never claimed to be a wise man
I’m just like you and I struggle too
But I do the best that I can

There’s only one Truth
Everything else is lies
And there’s only one reality
You know everyone dies

Everyone is a sinner and no one
Is as pure as a Snow White Dove
And your healing can only begin
When you’re Ready For Love

Don’t Cry

       I know that you’re hurting
I know that your pain runs deep
You’re consumed by your thoughts
Of revenge so much that you can’t sleep

I know that you’re no stranger to
Darkness so this is nothing new
But Evil never learns the lessons
To never bite the hand that feeds you

You can never let yourself be
Controlled by what you’re thinking of
I beg you my child to keep your
Faith and focus on the power of love

Life is to short to keep hashing over
The same old ground of your past
Life is your most precious gift
And Time it slips away so fast

The Lord Jesus will heal your heart
And in time your pain will fade
If you put your trust into Him and
Make it worth the price he paid

You can take it from me, like you
I’ve definitely felt darkness to the core
Yes the pain that you feel
I too have felt it before

Like me you’ll be able to take the
Poisonous snakes head and to it defang
Believe me when I say you’ll forget
The time when Sorrow sang

The only thing you’ll remember is the
Day to your past you said goodbye
Your pain and darkness will subside
So take a breath and Don’t Cry

Alone Again

        There’s no turning back now
I’m past the point of no return
My destiny it seems is to keep burning
Bridges, I guess I’ll never learn

I’m on yet another journey without
A blueprint or any kind of plan
I didn’t  want to leave this way
But I was forced to play my hand

Out on the highway driving in the
Blowing snow,  I’m completely exhausted
I’m struggling to stay awake and
Keep my windows defrosted

We were together last night
We shared an enchanted kiss
I was riding on cloud nine
Living a life of complete bliss

We had a chemistry there was
A spark and there was desire
I certainly felt I was on the edge of
Love but it wasn’t enough for the fire

I’m a man and I can’t remember the last
Time I cried, fighting the tears in my eyes
I can’t believe another chance for love
Was lost and my inevitable demise

I’ll never know what went wrong
What was the beginning of the end
How can I go on without you and what’s
My purpose now that I’m Alone Again

Perspective

      I know sometimes it seems
Like I may be doing some drinking
When I seclude myself and I’ve
Had some time for thinking

In my poetry sometimes it’s
My thoughts that I decide to share
It seems there’s always emotions
Behind the words I don’t care

Now listen I believe you’ll find my
Words are sound when I say
It’s seems there’s some pain
Hidden behind the words I’m okay

And if you stop and think about it
I believe you’ll find it so
It seems there’s always some knowledge
Behind the words I don’t know

And if we all come clean I’m sure
We can agree with our admitting
I’m sure we’ll find there’s some truth
Behind the words just kidding

Now you know I’m always clear
And no one needs to be a detective
And no one needs to read between the
Lines to understand the Perspective

Reminded Of My Place

     Well I took a vacation
It was good for this heart of mine
Came home did some work on the place
I was proud and on cloud nine

I hadn’t felt like this in a long while
Let it be my true confession
Hadn’t felt much like entertaining
I was in a state of depression

My daughter and Son in Law gave me
Their gently used Blackstone grill
It gave me some new inspiration
Changed my view and my will

I swept the Deck gonna have it
Professionally washed as well
Things were looking pretty good
Raised my spirits you could tell

So I washed and cleaned the old chairs
Even swept and gave the carpet a shampoo
I was on a roll and we went to buy a
Patio set a table and chairs brand new

Got a new umbrella and I was excited
Got some utensils for the grill so great
Told friends and family invitations
Are going to be sent and I can’t wait

Today was my first day back to work
I had my reality I needed to face
And as sure as this good heart still beats
I was quickly Reminded Of My Place
