Kalee

    She’s the daughter of a daughter
Of a cousin of mine
Such a pretty little thing
Who was destined to shine

She was an Angel in my eyes
She was perfect in her play
But things have changed, her wings
Are broken and her halo taken away

For I see her now through a smoky haze
As she’s in her grown up years
And it fills my heart up with sadness
And it fills my eyes up with tears

To hear her say those words and laugh
Especially when she had no clue
Though she was taken a stand for
A falseness she believed to be true

And she said those words
While standing so strong
Brainwashed by the media
Not knowing any better, she was oh so wrong

**** the police and they should
Just burn it all down
She didn’t know what she was saying
She didn’t care about her own town

Now there’s a shadow that hangs over
Her like a witches curse
I can’t turn back the hands of time
We can’t put this train in reverse

I will love her as always but now my eyes
Are jaded and I will never see
That Angel that I saw,
Whenever I looked at our Kalee

Again

     May 4th 1970, Kent Ohio
Fifty years ago, Four dead in Ohio
Neil Young wrote and sang
In reaction to this we know

(Tin soldiers and Nixon’s comin
We’re finally on our own
This Summer I hear the drummin
Four dead in Ohio)

Insert new lyrics, different time,
Different place
Same question look
Upon my face

(Tin soldiers and Biden’s comin
We’re finally on our own
This Winter I hear the drummin
Four dead in DC, don’t ya know
Just like Ohio

Yepper we’ve done it again
Will we ever learn or will we do it again
And again and again?

Crystal Ball

    I found a crystal ball
In an old run down shack
It was beneath layers of dust and rubble
In a room way in the back

The shack was in the woods where I was
Hunting and I know this will sound insane
But I felt as if I was being drawn there
As if it was calling my name

It has great powers, it seems more than a
Mer mortal can comprehend
Do I dare try to connect and do I dare
Begin the process to transcend

For even now as I have it in my hands
Visions of our future it’s starting to reveal
I feel myself beginning to slip into a trance
Between what is  fantasy and what is real

I see a bad Moon rising in a dark,
Dark Apocalyptic Sky
I see millions of people in fear
I hear them all as they cry

I see the Earth from above it and
I see the end of mankind
I see it’s complete destruction
With Nothing left behind

I also see what seems to be a new
Beginning complete with the Neanderthal
And somehow this brings me peace
As I stand here with my Crystal Ball

A Better Way

    I don’t know just how but I know
We’ve gotta find a way off of this ride
Whatever it is that’s keeping us
Separated, we need to set it aside

For we know in his eyes
Red, yellow,brown, black and white
We are all beautiful and yes we are
All so very precious in his sight

So let’s find a way to shine
Let’s find a way to spread the light
In my heart I know that we can do it
We can take the wrong and make it right

Take the darkness and send it far away
Life is to short for bitterness and hate
If we really try we can find room for love
And with love it’s never too late

We can get closer to Jesus
We can reach out for connection
And know that we’re only human
It’s impossible for perfection

But we don’t have to be but I know
It’s a new year and it’s a new day
Hate spreads and love and kindness can too
So let this begin a better way

Familiar Ghost

    It’s four Am and familiar ghost are haunting me but like a thousand times before
I know that the Sun soon will rise and Kiss the day and my tears and the ghost will fade away. In the middle of the night my sleep gets disturbed, sometimes I can’t put my finger on it and the images are scattered and it’s like a million movies that have been sliced together and it doesn’t make any sense and other times I see it all so clear as if the moment is happening live but I know that it happened so very long ago.
I’m okay and I live a happy blessed life
God is in control but the Devil is persistent and he’ll test my faith every chance he gets and he loves to torment me. So he gets inside my head while I’m sleeping and he releases
The ghost of days gone by and the emotions overwhelm me and the tears flow freely until I wake enough to gather my senses.
I’m able to then realize what is happening
and I can fight the Demons and tell the Devil where he can go.
The promise of tomorrow and it’s light
I know it will conquer the darkness and even if the pain lingers the Devil will never break me now even with his best surprise attack when I least expect it like tonight when I fell  asleep so happy and peaceful with no pain and so far removed from what was before, completely living in the moment of my joy.
So now I await the rising Sun and brush it off like brushing a fresh snow fall from my car.
And deep down I know that I will be reminded of when sorrow sang and I’ll see them again.
Those familiar ghost.

A work in progress for my book
Just wanted to share

Spring

     Summer has long faded away, with
Only its memory that’s trying to remain
As I sit here in a shiver, so desperately
It’s Summers heat I wish I could retain

For now as I write these words
The fall rain has switched to snow
The Christmas decorations are complete
Including the hanging of the mistletoe

It’s a guilty pleasure of mine to wait
For her there just to steal a kiss
I’m a blessed man to have her and
Seriously I never dreamed a life like this

As it gets nearer to Christmas day
Like a child the anticipation is setting in
Wondering what presents wait for me
Just thinking about it brings a quick grin

It brings me more joy though to make her
Smile and I hope she likes her presents
Every year it’s always the same
My soul fills with excitement and suspense

The snow is beautiful covering the ground
And trees, like a true winter wonderland
I admit that it’s a wonderful
Feeling to see it firsthand

But seriously as I shiver, my mindset
Is dreaming of birds as they sing
And the flowers and the bees
And the butterflies and warmth of spring

Forest Of Death
(This poem is based on truth)

     As the Sun rises to kiss the day
The darkness promises to stay
The people live a life mundane
Nothing inside to strengthen or sustain

A London fog forever lingers
In the hearts the chard’s of flinders
Their souls damaged and minds anguished
For so many lives have vanished

In every language the words are burning
And they repeat the same warning
The forest has a power of constraining
Known to be literally life draining

It’s worse than that of cyanide
It whispers to the ear and convinces suicide
Yet many for reasons unknown why
Disregard the signs and walk right on by

The mystery of the forest remains concealed
Theories vary, some say it’s a magnetic field
Some  say it’s the Devil and his evil way
Just another game he loves to play

They come from all around to see its wonder
As if it’s a spell that they’re under
Knowing they could take their last breath
If they enter the forest of death
