Proof Of Existence

      I’m am not here to preach
And I cannot tell you what to believe
But I feel like I must reveal what I
Experience, observe or perceive

I can talk about the planet’s, stars
And about things I know myself
And how nothing in nature
Is selfish, nothing is here for itself

I can talk about the miracles of
Babies and things
Like caterpillars and how they turn
Into butterflies and get their wings

But if you don’t believe in God
You don’t believe in the Devil
And nothing I say matters anyway
So what’s the harm in my revel

So here’s the thing I wanna mention
Maybe it’ll give ya something think about
Good and evil exists at the same time
And maybe I can erase your doubt

I was born a Buckeye and my heart is
Broken hearing the recent news
If you haven’t heard two Buckeyes are
In trouble for a moment of confuse

You see God gave them talent and showed
Them a wonderful life and his way
The Devil gave them a beautiful girl
And it was the temptation that would sway

She was uncomfortable and said no
She was ***** for they had no self resistance
The Devil smiled and God cried and to
Me this is just another proof of existence

KISS-K-I-S-S
        Definition-(Keep It Simple Stupid)

Whispers in the wind, shadows glistening
Enchanted silo-wets naked together
In a longing embrace on a majestic cloud.
The universe to your beauty
Is why the weeping willow weeps
As the wind blows, hear nature speak.
The epitome of what is meant to be,
A stream in the meadow, a birds song,
A soft butterfly caress, a good witches spell
Never to be broken. Voices carry a love song everlasting with words that linger
All thrown together, never understood
And make no sense but because they are beautiful it seems they were written by a genius. Though I could write them if I tried I Simply just like to leave you with a KISS

The Man Without A Shadow

    Now we’ve all got stories to tell
And I like to tell mine from time to time
But when I tell them
I tell them in my simple rhyme

Now we’ve all had loves that have
Left our worlds torn apart
What we thought was forever love
And we were left with a broken heart

This is a story about a man that I know
Who rolled the dice and played the game
But he lost it all, yes everything
And he will never, ever be the same

You see when he first saw her
He couldn’t help but be starry-eyed
But he should have known
She would never be satisfied

Now things aren’t always sunshine and roses
But that’s how she wanted it to be
He gave her his love, even though
The warning signs were plain to see

She left him one stormy night
As lightning was flashing across the sky
He pleaded with her not to go
As they both began to cry

Now a darkness follows him
As his heart is filled with pain
Doomed to walk forever
In this never ending rain

But with no sunshine
There’s never gonna be a rainbow
With no light shining through, he’ll
Forever be the man without a shadow

Rose in the fire song version of
All that remains are the thorns


                      Rose In The Fire

We had a love
We had a love so strong
Where did we
Where did we go so wrong

You use to smile
You use to smile so bright
It use to feel
It use to feel so right

(C) Now our love,Is like a rose in the fire
I feel like I’ve got a bull by the horns
When you throw a rose into a fire
All that remains are the thorns

I wish you
I wish you were still my only one
But I can see
I can see those days are gone

I think we
I think we both know
It’s time to
It’s time to just let it go

(C) Now our love,is like a rose in the fire
I feel like I’ve got a bull by the horns
When you throw a rose into a fire
All that remains are the thorns

(Music Interlude—Solo)

(B) Now as the smoke Clears from the sky
I’ve wiped the tears from my eye
It’s time to move on to a better day
We took our best years
And we threw them away

(Cx2) Rock out with the following x3

Rose in the fire,rose in the fire
Will we ever learn
Rose in the fire,rose in the fire
Just watch it burn

(End in music)

Acme
I'm an old poet with a young heart
pleading for an honest appraisal.
Is my poetry worth the time to read?
Do I matter now? Did I ever?
That is the bigger question.
I know the answer. Nothing lasts.
Shakespeare and Yeats and God will
someday be lost to time's cruelty.

Pink Or Blue

     I’m confused, New momma to be
She must be too
Because now the answer isn’t so clear
The question pink or blue

Do you know if it is a girl or a boy
Maybe it’s something in between
Sometimes the answer comes later
In life and is yet to be seen

Now I’m not here to judge
It’s just something that boggles my mind
To approach an obvious man
And really it’s a woman I find

Just something to think about
We may need to re think how they are raised
****** dolls, ***** Monster trucks
No time outs, bad,whoppings, good, praised

This has nothing to do with feminism
Or anything to do with Misogyny
We should just be what we are
And it should be more predicatively

We can be whatever we’re going to be
All I am really saying is hark, hark
******, ***** not what’s in the head
A restroom door shouldn’t have a question mark

I am not trying to be mean or racist
But there was a time when we knew
Now I don’t even know how to speak to
Someone not knowing pink or blue

I know that this can be controversial
But I am really not trying to be mean
I am a 57 year old man and growing up
In my day, boys got treated like boys
And girls got treated like princesses
And everyone knew if you were a girl
Or a boy. Even if you had yourself a
Tom boy you still knew that it was a girl.
God Bless!!!
