My Glitch

    It’s amazing, how quickly things can
Change and flip your world upside down
A peaceful Sunday lunch at a favorite restaurant and it all turned around

A phone call with horrible news
My friend Paul had died
This threw me for a loop
And uncontrollably I cried

Sunday night I couldn’t sleep
My mind in a thick foggy smoke
And when Monday morning arrived
My wife Cindy had a Stroke

I don’t know how I managed to call 911
And have that kind of focus
Is all of this really happening, is this the
Work of the Sanderson sisters Hocus Pocus

Now on the outside I have to be strong
So I’m trying desperately to hide my twitch
But inside I’m going absolutely crazy and if
You look closely I’m sure you’ll see my glitch

Dead

   Words cannot express the way I feel
So empty and lost in space
My heart shattered in a million pieces
As tears run down my face

Sunday afternoon the news
Was echoing in my ear
Unable to comprehend in shock
Unbelievable what did I hear

Sleepless night memories flow
Smiles fight through my tears
Thinking of all the concerts and the
Follies and friendship through the years

Cuyahoga falls Motley Crew KISS
A Long path in the woods we walked drunk
This test we all passed but on the way
Back it was one Paul would flunk

You see when the concert was over
What ensued was an hilarious disaster
In his brain he had fences to climb
He was the ultimate yard master

There were no fences to climb
I went searching and saw him fall
After instructing him to come back
When on his phone I had to call

I ordered KISS *** for our next show
And now I won’t get to share a drink
I’m in a miserable crazy fog and
My mind has lost the ability to think

Outside it’s still in the state of winter dead
Inside I feel completely dead
My mind is overwhelmed and dead
And my friend Paul is Dead

Utopia

     Take your worry and let it go,
Let it go, release your pain
Take your anger and let it go,
Let it go, let your tears fall like rain

Take your darkness and blow it away
Blow it away, with the wind
Take your hatred and blow it away
Blow it away, it’s not your friend

Take your doubt and give it away
Give it away, for doubt can be so scary
Take it all and give it away
Give it away, it’s too heavy to carry

Take your fear and face it
Face it, let it know your ready to fight
Take your enemy and face it
Face it, with love and light

Take your insecurities to Jesus
To Jesus, go to find a reason to live
Take your broken heart to Jesus
To Jesus, go and let him forgive

When you do, you’ll know that Jesus
Is love, he is the cornucopia
When you die, you’ll just begin to live
And shall live eternal in Heaven Utopia

Old Shoe

      There was a time when I felt
Like I was needed, and I cared
I didn’t have much knowledge
But what I had, I shared

Times they keep changing
New faces surround me
No respect for what I’ve done
New leadership and I disagree

I seem to care too much
And they seem to not care at all
My time is coming to an end
It’s sad to watch it fall

I’m a forgotten relic
They wish I was already gone
I can see the writing on the wall
I’m a dragon and the last one

There was a time when I was proud
Even being the lowest ****
But those days have come and gone
Now I just wish I was comfortably numb

I’m yesterday and just part of an unknown
Past, they are today shiny and new
But time will pass them by and soon they’ll
Know what its like to feel like an old shoe

She Was My Heaven,I Was Her Hell

   There was a time when I tasted love
For a moment, a life of bliss
My heart was beating madly
My lips felt a gentle kiss

My nose smelled her lovely scent
We held each other in a passionate embrace
I felt like the king of the world
And I was floating in outer space

But I’ve never been lucky in love
And soon I knew I’d face my fate
My darkness was too much for her
It was like she walked through hell’s gate

Everything started to come between us
Everything was a reason to fight
We were being swallowed by a black
Hole, it consumed all of our light

I was over powered by my demons
Into my soul is where they came to dwell
Though I loved her completely, in the end
She was my Heaven, I was her Hell

A Walk In The Rain

      Last night I had a dream,
I was living in complete tranquility
When I opened my eyes,
I found myself in my own reality

A born sinner living on a planet named
Earth somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy
Feeling like a rogue satellite
Lost in the outer limit of my apogee

Stepping outside to a day without Sun
The sky is different shades of grey
As I walk it begins to rain and
My thoughts just go astray

So I’m walking in the rain without focus
Wishing for a parting sky
As sadness overwhelms me
I have to fight back tears from my eyes

Lost in my emotions, God sends a warning
Touch of his love to help ease my pain
And I felt so good inside and I realized
That it’s good to take a walk in the rain
