A Crazy, Crazy Dream

     Last night I slipped into a dream
Started out with red carpet glamour
And quickly changed to scenes like a
Video by Peter Gabriel, Sledgehammer

I was walking on water and was
Suddenly on a Ferris-Wheel
Then I was in a comedy act on stage
Slipping on a Banana Peel

I was behind the wheel of a NASCAR
Out on the track really racing
Next thing I knew I was on the streets
With the police behind me chasing

The next thing I knew
I was naked on a nudist beach
I didn’t have any where to hide
And my clothes were out of reach

Then I was in a restaurant eating Apple
Pie A la mode you know with Ice cream
I don’t even like Apple Pie
What A Crazy, Crazy Dream

Fringe Of Lunatics

    It’s a typical fall day with an
Overcast sky and a crisp breeze
There’s a sprinkle of rain falling
As well as leaves from the trees

I’m ready for some football
But my Saturdays are camouflaged
There’s now political agendas and
My entertainment has been sabotaged

The outside world has penetrated
With the noise of great measures
It’s robbed me of a way of life
And it’s ruined one of my few pleasures

A United strength and togetherness
Is hanging on a weakened hinge
Of all the many ways we were to fall
I’d never imagine at the hands of the fringe

Fighting among ourselves, it’s obvious
This is the Devil and his bag of tricks
Who would have thought it would end
By the deceived Fringe Of Lunatics

Your Gone

    Last night I laid myself down
For it was time for some sleep
Wide awake with my mind racing
Watching time slowly creep

I don’t know why but I started thinking
Of you and I felt you near
I saw a blurred vision of you
And slowly it began to clear

We were in Phoenix Arizona, I had you
Come into my room to listen to Beth
I wanted to touch you but I didn’t dare
The room was cold I could see my breath

I wanted the moment to last
I must have slipped into a dream
I tried to make sense of this reality
It was so surreal yet like a movie scene

You were so alive but it could not be
Though Phoenix was pre 1991
I tried to hug you and the vision faded
I cried again because your gone

In memory of my mother
She passed in May of 1991
Phoenix was 76-79

Hard Rain Fallin

    I know you don’t love me anymore
But I don’t know your reasons why
I know I’ll drown without you
I can’t swim in the tears you cry

I know I’m losing you
My life is slowly slipping away
I’m reaching for something to hold on to
My blue sky is turning grey

My heart is breaking
I just wanna scream
I once believed in love
But love is just a dream

Love might as well be just
A Drop of water in an endless sea
A heart even in its mass is just
Broken and useless debris

If you say goodbye
I won’t come back crawlin
I’m not ready for departure and
I’m not ready for the Hard Rain Fallin

Clash Of The Covenants

   I’ve never beat around the bush
There’s nothing I’ve tried to hide
I’ve always been honest even if I
Take a risk our opinions may collide

When it comes to my love of Jesus
I’ve always let it be known
In my heart I know he’s with me
And I’ll never be alone

You might think I’m a Christian
But that’s technically wrong
I’m a man of righteousness
And in reality it’s a new song

Here’s the reason why, I sing
With my excited breath
I’ve been freed from the *******
Of the ministry of death

The ministry of death is the teaching
Of the old covenant of Mosaic law
This teaching is now obsolete and it
Might as well be the Devils Claw

Jesus died and his blood washed our sin
We’re free from trying to be prefect servants
Replacing the old with the new,celebrate the victory Jesus won in Clash Of The Covenants

I Re Wrote This and I deleted the other one

Thank you!!!
I’m reading a book with the same title.
What I love about it is the Author explains it clearly and breaks it all down. He’s not saying that we are free to do as we please and everyone goes to Heaven.
No he’s not saying that we can break the laws. What he is saying is that the laws had an original purpose but with them also came the introduction of the sins that we were not to commit. Thou shall not covet being the last one and most important. If thou covets he/she is in temptation to lie steal and **** and if he or she covets the affection of someone other than their own spouse He/ She May also commit Adultery. Coveting leads to all of the other sins. He also states that if you have one law you must abide by all of the laws. Break one and you’ve broken all of them. You cannot pick and choose which laws you wish to obey and which ones you choose to break. The laws were to be obeyed holding the standard of perfection and no human is perfect. The temptation was to much and mankind buckled under the pressure. God saw this to be a huge problem the harder we tried to be perfect the more we became sinful. Adam and Eve had one law. Thou shall not eat of the tree with the forbidden fruit. One temptation from the serpent and the law was broken.
Think of a child being told they cannot have any cookies from the cookie jar and you turn your back for a minute and they get into the jar eat the cookie and you catch them with the evidence upon their face. So God sends his Son Jesus to be sacrificed upon the Cross to take all sin from everyone and I mean everyone if only they believe in him and believe he is the Messiah and except the gift of Grace and salvation.
This frees us from the ******* of the laws and the pressure of perfection and the temptation of breaking the laws.
In turn a righteous person does good naturally with their faith in Jesus he/she doesn’t have any desire to covet lie or steal or ****. It’s complete freedom from any sinful thought and of any pain and it is pure love and it gives us more willingness to love as well. Love thy neighbor as you love yourself, there’s no hate in the soul of someone who has faith in Jesus. It’s really amazing when the light bulb comes on and you can see the light and you can become the light. I’ve never felt so free.
The old covenant of the laws of Moses
(The Commandments)
Were made obsolete and basically useless debris with the new covenant made with the crucifixion of Jesus. Those who believe in me shall have eternal life in Heaven.
Everything I just explained I tried to put in my short poem. Jesus crucifixion was the victory of the Clash of the covenants the new destroying the old. It’s really Beautiful!!! God Bless!!!

Sheila The Bahamas *****

    His name was Dixon
Women were just notches on his belt
None of them were ever aware
Of the deal they were about to be dealt

He chewed them up and spit them out
As if they left a bad taste in his mouth
Just as soon as they were hooked
He’d cut the line and things went south

His time was coming
Believe me there was no doubt
A man like that you know surly
His luck was running out

He met a woman in the Bahamas
She had a reputation of her own
Her name was Sheila
She had a heart of stone

He fell for her in an instant
Her beauty was beyond compare
But just like his victims
He didn’t have a prayer

He was handsome and debonaire
The heart breaker known as Dixon
But He met his match when he fell for
Sheila The Bahamas *****

The Hurting Lingers

    Above any thoughts of infidelity
Our love I thought was strong
But in your eyes I see your quilt
And I realize that I was wrong

You threw it away like it was trash
A bond that never should have fallen apart
But carelessly and thoughtlessly
You had no regard for my fragile heart

Why is love so hard to find yet so easy to
Lose and cause so much pain
Love’s bliss lives in the warmth Of Sunshine
Yet the heartache lives in the rain

As the tears fall from my eyes
I see the promise of love turn to rust
This heart of mine bleeds and in
Love never again will it trust

Forever when I reminisce I’ll see
Love as it slips through my fingers
Forced to live with a broken heart
As The Hurting Lingers
