When Night Falls

   Sometimes I pray for the light of day
I welcome the distraction of my mind
Sometimes at night I wish that
My visions were not so well defined

I really have left my past behind but
Those pesky cobwebs still hang
They’re In the attic of my brain and it
Reminds me of when sorrow sang

Most days and nights I get through
And I am left completely un phased
But something sparks a memory and
It can’t leave me completely unscathed

I’ve learned to rely on Jesus
And the visions I can quickly dismiss
And there were good times and
It’s healthy to reminisce

But I confess without warning
Frighteningly I will awaken
And the sweat and tears are flowing
And I am left shaken

The visions of what was long ago
Come straight from the Devils castle halls
And forgive me but it’s the reason why
Sometimes I dread it when night falls

               When Night Falls —2

   Sometimes the day is too long
And it lacks in its charms
Sometimes I pray for the day to end
So that I can be in my baby’s arms

When I wake up I’m next to her
It’s the only place that I want to be
When the work day is done I know
She’ll be there with me

We’re so good together
And it comes as no surprise
I knew we were meant for each other
The moment I looked into her eyes

I give Jesus my praise
And I thank him for his love
I will forever be in his debt
For the gift he sent from above

When I’m in her presence
Believe when I say and I’m not faken
My knees still get weak and I
Can’t keep them from shaken

So I guess you could say it’s forever love
I always come running when she calls
And I can’t wait for the day to end
And I cherish the time when night falls

            When Night Falls—3

   Sometimes when I’m working
Time ticks away so **** slow
I know it’s wrong to wish the moments away
But sometimes I just wanna go

Sometimes knowing it’s five o’clock
Somewhere gets me to thinking
I wish I was at a party somewhere
And I could be dancing and drinking

I thank God for my job and my life
I enjoy what I do, it’s a form of giving
But sometimes I wish I had more time
For fun and more time for living

So don’t get me wrong
I don’t want it to be mistaken
But I know somewhere there’s people
Out on the dance floor doin some shaken

I just wanna be somewhere with my baby
When my day of working is done
I want to be the life of the party
I just wanna have some fun

So let me go to the club and get the
Party started within its walls
Sometimes you just gotta get away from
It all and enjoy yourself when night falls

Sometimes as writers we never know
Where the thought is going to go.
The title (When Night Falls)
Popped into my head while I was
Putting my clothes in the closet
Of course if I don’t write it down,
I’ll lose it. It could have gone any direction
But because of my dark past the first original write went in that direction.
I thought about it and I thought what if I revisit the title and put a little romance to it.
So you get it again. Then I thought let’s look at with the working class view and
So you get it again. Thinking of just one more (Horror?) God Bless!!!

Reminds me of when sorrow sang

Most days and nights I get through

Old Ones

  I remember my youth and
The energy that was endlessly flowing
And today I feel that energy
Continually slowing

I remember my elders and
How they envied me
Wishing they could store
That energy for eternity

Now the years have passed me by
And I still feel the kid Inside of me
But I have no clue just where
That energy might be

I know it's lost in some
Kind of a galaxy Void
Harnessed inside some
Kind of a robot droid

Or maybe it's frozen in the
Space and time doldrums
Or maybe it was  hijacked
By the old ones

Quick Sand

      Your love was the oasis
Something I couldn’t resist
My lips were ******
Never being kissed

I ran to you with the vision of paradise
I was like a moth to your flame
I wanted something everlasting
You were just playing a game

I was Young and didn’t know about
Girls or anything about love
I thought that I was in Heaven
And you were my Angel from above

You made a bet, you said you could
Get me, that it would be a breeze
You proved your point as I fell for
You with such a willingly ease

Time has passed now and many have
Come and gone in my life
I find myself happily married
To a wonderful wife

But I’ll never forget that broken heart
Because we all remember our first
It’s just part of life and a memory
And it’s like being cursed

From time to time, I see a vision of your
Face, but I know it’s just a Hologram
Just like before, the illusion of the oasis
Was just you and your unholy scam

There’s nothing like your first broken
Heart, I was left a person of Analysand
After I fell for you and your charade
Neck high into your Quick Sand

Old School VS New School

  My wife and I get up and go to work
With a constant pain as our bodies are
Feeling their age.
I’ve been in three automobile accidents that my car was totaled and a forklift accident,
Long story but I ran it off the dock and my shoulder slammed into the roll cage as I hit the ground. I’m a victim of physical child abuse-and I’ve come close to death from surgeries because I’m sensitive to Anastasia
That makes my heart stop and they almost lose me every time.
My sister in law gets up and goes to work
And she is facing not one but two
Brain surgeries and I have an old friend
With Ménière’s disease.
It’s a ringing in the ears and it causes
Vertigo and nausea and hearing loss
And he is about to ride a bike from Denver
Colorado to Columbus Ohio to raise money
For researching and awareness for this
Disease and we have coworkers that
Call off work for a hang nail

Everyone’s Talking

   A still small voice is calling
Know that Jesus saves
Out in the streets hear the noise
Hear it over the airwaves

This is the Devil at his finest
It’s so hard to find the love
When the world is fighting and
Every push becomes a shove

Everyone one knows the two paths
We all have the right to choose
In times of difficulty when we fight wrong
With wrong the end result is we all lose

Every Time there’s a disaster see it
On the news, those that come to rescue
And then there’s those that loot
Forgive me and my pirlicue

When one is killed wrongly by police
We agree that it wasn’t right
But in turn is this cause or reason to
Rioting and causing a national racism fight

In hindsight couldn’t we have protested
And voiced ourselves in a way that inspires
Not by disrespecting others property by
Busting windows and setting fires

Outside at your door you
Cannot hear him knocking
The Devil has us fighting and no one’s
Listening but everyone’s talking
