Back To The Beginning Of The End

  It’s all clear to me now
But I didn’t see it then
How my world was falling apart
And I was losing more than just a friend

I set out on the road, in search
For something that was already mine
I was sure it was just over the horizon
But with each day I could see that I was blind

Further and further, I moved on
And all the fault was my own
I thought that there was something better
But all that it left me was alone

How can a man do what I did
And dream of lust and fantasy
When everything he ever wanted
Was already his reality

How could I throw it all away
Without blinking an eye
Now I have to live with this regret
Until the day that I die

Thinking about it, Brings nothing but pain
And memories of the past
If I could turn back the hands of time
Then I would be back home at last

But now I live each day and I
Punish myself for my crime
I’ll spend the rest of my life wishing
That I could turn back the hands of time

Back to the beginning of the end
That is where I wish I could be
Back to the beginning of the end
When I thought I just needed to be free

Back to the beginning of the end
Just before our last goodbye
Back to the beginning of the end
Just before I made you cry

Yes right before I made my worst mistake
For now my life is in a state of suspend
And the reality is knowing that I can never
Go back to the beginning of the end

Away From The Lights

  I live in the City,life is lived
In a whirlwind, a quickened pace
I’ve never felt like this was the life
For me, no I feel so out of place

But it’s been this way for all my life
And I’ve learned to adapt
But there’s always been a yearning
For a simpler way, to be untapped

A slowed down way of things with
A porch and a lemonade or tea
A place where the Rooster crows and
Stars fill the sky like the water of the sea

Away from the sirens and crowded streets
Away from the concrete highways
Away from the skyscrapers and malls
Away from the this mental craze

Away from the life of the fast lane
And all of the City sights
I just once want a life of peace
Somewhere far away from the lights

A Whisper In The Wind

Sitting on my deck as night begins to fall
Thinking of a time I thought would never end
And in a sense it still exist
For now it’s a whisper in the wind

A monsters attack in the middle of the night
A child in fear unable to defend
Without warning it sometimes returns
For now it’s a whisper in the wind

A beautiful girl, young loves first kiss
Time separated, love letters I didn’t send
Hope she can still read them
As they are now a whisper in the wind

The sounds of us as children at play
And the promise of a forever friend
Though long ago it’s not forgotten
But now it’s just a whisper in the wind

A mother’s love, and watching her die
Her last breath, her soul ascend
She’s still with me, her love is a comfort
Now as a whisper in the wind

Time has flown so quickly
And it’s hard for me to comprehend
All the faces and voices still echo as
Everything still lives as a whisper in the wind

His Perfection

     I really love Scientists and their
Knowledge of many things
As they tell us about the planets
Like Saturn and her rings

I love them telling us about Jupiters
Big Storm and about the red planet Mars
I enjoy the mysteries of Black Holes
And learning the ingredients for Stars

They amaze me with their genius
It’s really second to none
But the Big Bang Theory is still
Missing the Smoking Gun

They have given us information
That’s now universally known
Our existence is only possible
Because of the Goldilocks Zone

What amazes me even more is how they
Still cannot make the Connection
Still denying our Creator when they
Can Plainly See His Perfection

The Futures Past

     Time after time, see the history
And from history see the future way
Technology continues to improve but
Humanity is still lost in a past day

No matter how many other things change
Humanity stays the same
Hating each other for no reason
And War is just a game

We dream of Space travel and living
On another planet in a new galaxy
We think that we could finally have
Peace but that’s just avoiding reality

The realization factor is being human
And we’re still a million years from humane
Hear the words that I say
What’s happening today is insane

Dream all you want about inhabiting
Another Planet but we’re unsurpassed
And wherever we may go we will never
Be able to escape The Futures Past

Two Faced People

   It’s funny really and sad too
It can sometimes break a heart
But I guess no matter what, life goes
On and we might as well make a new start

There’s those who show you to your
Face who they want you to see
But in reality they’re not that person
At all and they don’t know who to be

Fly by night people flip flopping
On their views and opinions
Using Excuses for not doing things but
Disregarding the excuse in certain conditions

It’s alright yea it’s okay
If they feel that it’s right
It’s alright yea it’s okay
If they can sleep at night

They can live their lives the way they choose
But I find it a shame to be so feeble
Personally I can’t stand them and I have
No time for Two Faced People

When Comes The Rain

      Though I know we set each other free
It still hurts to see you with someone new
I guess my heart must still be breaking
It’s telling me that I still love you

I could see it in your eyes, you were in
Love and loving the way he made you feel
But I could see his eyes were roaming
And his love for you isn’t real

I see a forecast of a brewing storm
And it shouldn’t be so surprising
The atmospheric pressure has been
Hinting of a bad Moon rising

I know you think it’s my jealousy but I
Tell you I’ve come to terms with my mistake
I just want what’s best for you and you
Can’t see what is so obviously fake

I want you to know, I’ll lay down on the
Tracks in front of this doomed runaway train
When the lightning flashes and the thunder
Rolls, I’ll be here When Comes The Rain

Black Diamond

      When you look into the mirror
Do you see your own reflection
When you reach into your soul
Can you feel any connection

Are you the person that everyone
Sees, are you as happy as it seems
Have you settled for your life
Or do you still have dreams

Are you in control of your own destiny
Are you the one at the Helm
Or have you surrendered your heart
To a power from another Realm

I’ll never know the depths of your
Feelings or the reason for your dark light
I’ll never know the path you walk
Or the many Demons you fight

You’re such a Toxic soul
Never to have been Enlightened
Your like a Jewel in the rough
You shine like a Black Diamond

Beautifully Broken

    I was lonely and in despair
I turned around and she was there
Just when I needed someone in my life
I thought she would be my wife

But on a rainy day she said goodbye
A million tears we both would cry
She said it wasn’t her she said it wasn’t me
She said it just wasn’t meant to be

For awhile I was lost in darkness
I was a person that seemed heartless
But time would land me in a new day
And with the Sunrise I knew I was okay

Though I never thought I would love again
Because I was such a shattered man
But my life was turned around
When there was a new love that I found

Sometimes we do get a second chance
For love and for romance
She took my hand,no words were spoken
For she too had been beautifully broken

Loves Whisper

        Loves Whisper
It’s soft like a baby’s skin
Like the feel of silk
Gentle and warm like a Summer Breeze
Comfortable like fully fluffed feather
Pillow, suddenly you’re in tune with
The vibrations and ways of nature
Like the leaves turning to the rain
The wonderful relationship of the Honey
Bee and the flower it’s like a lovely
Blessing that’s hard to explain
It’s like trying to describe a Butterfly KISS
Or floating on a cloud because there’s nothing we can compare it too
It’s like seeing everything with Kaleidoscope
Eyes and walking beneath glitter dust
Skies and when it’s right time stands
Still and forty years later you find yourself
Still under the spell of Loves Whisper

Yeti Rocks

   I’ve always felt a connection but it’s
Something I could never put my finger on
It’s like seeing a clear vision and in
Just a moment the vision is gone

It could be something very real or at
Least real to you with every sensation
Or it could be something from stories
And just a figment of your imagination

But I’m sure of it as clearly as night and
Day never being someone who lies
Less than thirty yards away from me
I swear I saw it with my own two eyes

In the early morning misty fog
On a dock on the edge of a lake
I saw a Yeti with sunglasses and a
Guitar and red sneakers no fake

He was jamming and having a blast
I noticed he wasn’t wearing socks
And the connection finally came to me
The day I discovered that Yeti Rocks

But Not You

   I was willing to sacrifice myself
With love and passion and vow to be true
I was all in with no lies or alibis
But not you

I told myself a thousand times
That I shouldn’t
But against all odds I did
But you couldn’t

You asked me to take a leap of faith
With hesitation I did it
Then for whatever reasons
You didn’t

Love for me is like Russian roulette
I took the gun and I held it tight
I pulled the trigger for you but
You killed it and said it wasn’t right

I poured out my heart and soul, my fear
My hopes and dreams in a pile of spew
I let myself be vulnerable
But Not You

I Am

      As a young man I asked the mirror
Who am I and the mirror replied
I am worthless yes worthless
Therefore worthless I am

As an adult I asked myself
Self who am I, a voice gave a reply
I am a sinner yes just a sinner
Therefore a sinner I am

To the voice I asked, who are you voice
And the voice quickly replied
He said I Am yes truly I Am
Therefore he is I Am

I said if I am worthless and I am a sinner
Then who am I and I Am replied
You are loved, he said I am loved
Therefore loved I Am

Bat Delicacy

   China is a place known for exotic
Foods things like perhaps Horse or Rat
Dogs,Cats, Scorpions, Snakes and more
Including yes you know it the Bat

So this Coronavirus upon us now
Is you guessed it from the Bat
They were killing one and in the
Process the blood did splat

Of course they were unaware of what
Conspired and so this virus did spread
And now the world is getting sick
And some are ending up dead

Now here’s the thing about this particular
Virus that most people don’t know
They aren’t telling us but it is available
But I will enlighten with another blow

You see this one is a cell with thorns
Making it easier to attach
And the other thing is even if you survive
The initial there is still a catch

The damage that it leaves behind
Can lead to heart or liver disease
So I caution you to be very careful
Be very careful I beg you please

Now I am not a racist but I’ve always felt
To make America great again
Then should we like years before
Have products made by the American

I also wanna say please wash your hands
Keep them away from your faces
And know that it survives the heat too
Florida, Australia, also  have known cases

Anyway here we are under attack by a
Virus, so I will say this sarcastically elegantly
The world is in some real danger all because
China likes their stupid Bat Delicacy

Kool Aide Kids

        Well unfortunately it’s that time again
Those political adds are dominating
I don’t care what side you’re on
And I don’t care who they’re nominating

I’m not here to sway your opinions
I’m not trying to tell you how to vote
But I am here to give words of caution
To give you something to take note

The media will feed you only what they
Want you to see and hear
They are servants of the Devil
And the Devil thrives on your fear

I just want you to do your own research
That’s my true and best advice
Don’t be so steadfast to stand your ground
Because you might be standing on thin ice

They want you to blindly accept their lies
They don’t want you to do your own thinking
They’re just here to supply the Kool aide
And the Devil smiles as we keep drinking

So please stop and turn off the noise
Don’t replicate like the Plasmids
You don’t need the sugar to decide
Please don’t be the Kool Aide Kids

Thunderstorm

  We've been avoiding each other,
trying not to collide
But there's only so many
Places we can hide

Like a typical spring day
The cold clashing with the warm
The clouds are rolling in
I think it's gonna storm

(C) Like a thunderstorm
When we fight
You're like lightning when
You strike
With your burn coming as
Quick as a flash of light
And I'm like thunder when
I come down
I can smash you as I stand
My ground
And our love shakes apart
As we break each other's heart
In the wrath of a thunderstorm

Why does it always have
to Be this way
It's like we're walking on
Broken glass every day

I come home to you
I don't know what to say
I get this feeling that it's
Just a game you play

(C) Like a thunderstorm
When we fight
You're like lightning when
You strike
With your burn coming as
Quick as a flash of light
And I'm like thunder when
I come down
I can smash you as I stand
My ground
And our love shakes apart
As we break each other's heart
In the wrath of a thunderstorm

(Music interlude,solo)

(Bx2) With all of the wind
And rain
We've suffered to much
Damage and pain

(Cx2) (Bx2) End in Music

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

Save Me From You

    I was happy go lucky
I was wild and free
I didn’t want anyone
Getting their hooks into me

I’ve seen too many friends
Take a bite of loves cake
But I was determined to
Not make that same mistake

I was minding my own business
Living my life on the fly
And in a smoke filled bar, I caught
A glimpse of you out of the corner of my eye

You walked over and whispered in my ear
You said you were here to save me
I told you that I was fragile and
I was fine with being so free

You began to walk away and I felt
My heart heart beating like Hell
I called you back without thinking
Like I was under some kind of spell

I gave you my heart and I lost myself
I was powerless to your witchery
I became a slave to your every whim
Forever chained to you my Miss Misery

You said you loved me but this isn’t
Love, if I’m to be forever blue
You said you were here to save me
So why didn’t you save me from you

The Color Of Night

    I woke up this morning to the
Sound of the birds as they sing
And for a brief moment I had that
Fuzzy feeling of spring

When everything is Sunshine &
Roses I’m walking in the rain
My Happiness got left behind like
Lost luggage on a midnight train

My heart has an empty void and
I’m lost in foggy haze I can’t explain
I’m angry and I’m sad and I just
Want to scream but I refrain

My brother Steve has passed away
And I feel I’ve been stripped of joy
He’s probably up in Heaven trying to
Teach the Angels the words to Rapid Roy

I should be celebrating my Birth
And though I know I’ll be alright
At the moment I’m morning his Death
And wearing The Color Of Night

Music Interlude

   The hustle of the day to day
Can leave us tired and drained
Working so hard just to pay the bills
With nothing really gained

The weekend comes I just want to relax
But I gotta run to the BMV
The salon and the dog groomer
With no time just for me

The Sun is shining and I just wanna
Be by the Ocean on a beach
With a drink in my hand but that’s just
A fantasy a dream out of my reach

Knowing now of my lover music
Her best quality un like life being so crude
I wish I could be more like my music and
Take a break a music interlude

Missing Beautifully Broken

     She was smart and witty
But her pen name told her story
It tells us that she’s been hurt
And her heart lives in purgatory

Through her pain
Her wit made me smile
But our friendship lasted
For just a short while

We shared our poetry here
And in doing so we shared our soul
My darkness from a childhood past, hers
From a love washed down a drain hole

But through our pain, hello poetry
Gave us a place to bond
And it allowed us to be vulnerable
And to correspond

But now she has disappeared
Her face and poetry are gone
Just like the night disappears
To give way to a new dawn

Now my heart breaks because words
Written and read are like words spoken
Hello poetry will never be the same
Now that it’s Missing Beautifully Broken 💔

Time Again, Again In Time

     I’ve seen you before I know
It can’t be a case of Deja vu
But how could it be, you don’t know
Me and I couldn’t know you

But I feel the forces of the universe
Within this majestic galaxy
That you and I are connected somehow
In a fantastic and wonderful odyssey

Through a misty haze, I see us together
In an enchanted place
The music of nature has us locked
In a dance and we’re face to face

In the realms of time and space
Some things are just meant to be
No matter how many times we drift
Apart there will always be you & me

We will live a million reincarnations
On the vibrations of the wind chimes
Our love will truly last forever
Time Again, Again In Time

My Friend Paul

     My words will never truly express
And I really don’t know how to begin
My heart aches and I’m numb inside
Yet it’s only the tip of what I feel within

I’m a firm believer in nothing is by chance
But we may never know the reason why
And I hate talking about this in past tense
Because it hurts to say goodbye

If he hadn’t worn a KISS shirt
We might not have talked to each other
But he did that day we met and
To me he became like a brother

We went to several concerts together
We had so many good times over the years
Now he’s gone and I’m in shock
And I’m fighting back the tears

His favorite band was Rush but he also
Loved KISS and so much more
His passion for music was beyond compare
And his heart was never a closed door

He was a man of God and when I think about
Him only the good times I will recall
And whenever I hear Rush or KISS
I’ll smile and remember my friend Paul

On A Feather In The Wind

      As I continue to age, it just
Keeps Getting Harder to pretend
I’m past the point of no return
And life is closer to the end

I’ve Rock & Rolled all nite and partied
Every day and now I must comprehend
Holding on to sixteen as long as I can is
Crazy, now I guess it’s time to transcend

As the cloud of depression covers me
And the Demons begin to descend
I have a Butterfly Angel watching over me
And against them my life she will defend

But even she can’t stop my natural decline
And time will pass with out a way to suspend
And my time will come and no money
Can ever buy any time to extend

But baby If I should go before you
You’ll still feel my love deep within
Every day you’ll still receive my love
I will send it On A Feather In The Wind

Someone I Use To Know

   In the darkness
I’m sitting all alone
The silence is broken
By the tone of my phone

The caller ID reveals your name
I just let it ring
The memories of you began to flow
Once you were my everything

I remember falling in love and holding on
Like taking the bull by the horns
Forgetting that love is fragile as the rose
As the tears flow I feel the pain of thorns

It’s unimaginable to be here now
With a heart that’s broken
As the phone rings again I can see your name
Again but I have no words to be spoken

I remember how seeing your name on my
Phone would make me glow
But you threw it all away and now you’re
Just someone I use to know

Parasite

      Love is a lie, don’t believe it
Love left me broken and beaten down
Love left me in the darkness, I walked
Crowded streets but it was like a ghost town

The people were invisible or was it me
I could feel the burning fire of Hell
Even when the clouds followed me
And the rain constantly fell

I was always told that love was wonderful
Love was bliss and ecstasy
So when I fell in love I had great expectations
Of a love like a fairytale fantasy

So explain it to me, I need to know
Is this a lesson we all need to learn
Because I don’t understand why
Love hurts or why it has to burn

Why my love was a leech
Why was it evil and why did it bite
Why does the pain linger in my
Heart, like it’s the host of a parasite

Actually I am happily married
37 years come April 14

Crazy/Sane

     I’d like to think I’m stable
If I am, I’ve gotta be on the edge
If you examine my mind, I think you’ll
Find you won’t have to dredge

For I’m sure it’s alive just beneath the
Surface, just milliliters from escape
So I warn you, be careful where you tread
For the outer layer is as thin as a crape

I’m trying desperately to hold it all
Together but it’s a shaky reality
If you listen to my words, they’re
Screaming like the wails of the Banshee

It’s not like I’m hearing voices
It’s more like an annoying itch
The best way I can describe it is,
It’s like a video game with a gli -gli-glitch

I know it’s just a matter of time
Before I lose myself inside my brain
The circuits are blowing, if you look
Closely you’ll see, I’m Crazy/Sane

Our Brother Steve Is Dead

     There was a time when we were
Close, but with time we drifted apart
You might say it makes it easier
But still it’s heavy on my heart

Memories of the days of our youth
Flash before me like it was yesterday
And the times as young adults how
We’d talk the night away

His heart was gold but he angered quick
He held on to grudges and couldn’t forgive
He was stubborn with his point of view
It was the way he chose to live

There was a time when we were there
Through thick & thin for each other
Sometimes we didn’t always agree
But he was still my brother

Lord I pray he’s with you in Heaven
And comfort our family in the days ahead
As we come face to face with the reality
That Our Brother Steve Is Dead

I’m so very happy, I’m so very sad
This is the flipping of the mind controller

I love you, I hate you
There’s Sunshine and rain
How does this happen in an instant
There’s joy and then there’s pain

I want to live, I want to die
There’s no in between
You know it’s not my fault
Sorry you’re witness to this ****** scene

I know you just saw me full of life
But now I’m on the edge of death

My Shattered Heart

     My life is a miracle, I’ve fought
Many battles, I’ve got many scars
I’ve spent a lot of years in my own
Prison behind impenetrable bars

I’ve been my own worst enemy
I thought I had to make it on my own
I’ve always done my worst damage
When I find myself alone

Life has always been so hard to face
When I’ve been so broken
And words have been so hard to find
And usually have gone unspoken

Now time has passed me by
I’m slowly beginning to feel my age
As my life’s journey begins to enter
It’s last mortal stage

But by fate and Grace I’ve been saved
I can reflect my feelings in my art
And I can live my life while Jesus puts
Back the pieces of My Shattered Heart

SOMETIMES

   Sometimes I see her shadow
And sometimes I see a Butterfly
Sometimes it makes me smile
And sometimes it makes me cry

Sometimes I cry out for her
And sometimes she lets me know she’s there
Sometimes I’m happy she’s in Heaven
And sometimes I scream it isn’t fair

Sometimes I just want to hold her
And sometimes my life I want to share
Sometimes everything is faded
And sometimes I smell her scent in the air

Sometimes it’s too dark to see
And sometimes I feel so lost
Sometimes I recall the memories
And sometimes the pain isn’t worth the cost

Sometimes it feels the rain is never ending
And sometimes I walk in the Sunshine
Sometimes all is well with my life
And sometimes, well there’s sometimes

Just missing my mother
She passed in May of 1991

Rising Hope

       I open my eyes to a new day
And I think about its opportunities
I know that things can go both ways but
I’m trying to be positive of the possibilities

I give my thanks to God for waking
Up to another day of life in the light
Because I understand the miracle
Of surviving the death of the night

I’m just a simple man living in the moment
I’m not a wise man always giving advice
But I’ve experienced both extremes from
The heat of the fire and the cold of the ice

I can tell you only what I know when I’m
Confronted by the Demons in the shadow
When I’m in the middle of the darkness of
The storm I search for the rainbow

It’s the comfort of the promise and it’s
What gives me the strength to cope
When things are going wrong my heart
Is always filled with Rising Hope

Like the smoke from a fire, the evil she
Speaks from her mouth,the words billow

She’s old and she’s bitter, she thinks
It’s funny like she’s playing a game
I warn you all of her evil schemes
And reveal that Pelosi is her name

She’s ****** reincarnated and her
Presence feels like the end is truly near
Her only motivation is hate and destruction
And for the world’s survival I truly fear

She’s a speaker of the house for the criminal
soon we’ll all be victims of her slaughter
Look closely people into her eyes and
You’ll see that she’s the Devils Daughter

My Sweet Madam Blue

       I’m deep in a feeling, you know
It seems it will last and last
I look to my future and I can see
It’s the same as the past

Happiness is always just out of
My reach, I’m lost in a trance
I’d give anything to find my way out
To be given half the chance

Forever I know I’ll feel the heat from
This Fire of your loving Hell
There’s no remedy to release me
From the power of your spell

For eternity I’ll live my life dreading
The harsh and yearning for the tender
I’ll always put up a valiant fight but
I’ll wave the white flag of surrender

Every time I find a way to escape
I’ll find my way back to you
My heart forever breaking as I lay
In the arms of My Sweet Madam Blue

I dedicate this to any and all who have
Suffered with or who may be currently suffering with depression.
When you suffer with it for so long
It feels like it’s the only feeling that’s right
Nothing else feels right so you always find yourself back in the arms of sweet Madam Blue. I’ve been there and my heart breaks for you!!! God Bless!!!

Upside Down

        Sometimes it makes no sense
In the light it’s still too dark to see
There’s no chains binding
But still I can’t break free

I can do everything just right
And ultimately I’m still wrong,
I feel like I’m just a broken melody
A Crackling sound without a song

I can be so high and still rising up
Yet I can feel so down
Like I’m driving on the highway
And all the signs are telling to turn around

It’s a phenomenon that I can never explain
Let alone try to understand
Like having my body and my brain
But to each they’re foreign land

I’m always alone in a crowded room
The voices are loud but there’s no sound
I’m walking through life but it’s not right
It’s like everything is Upside Down

Apocalyptic Sky

Time will come a day our
Earth will see its last
Chaos and confusion are norm,as
thoughts turn to days of past

Those whom never accepted
Thy gift of thy Christ
Whom never had faith nor
Could comprehend
his life he sacrificed

Will see his wonder and know
In death be unforgiven
And each heart like wood
Beneath the Axe be riven

And shortly it be realized
The decision of chosen path
And swiftly succumb  
to the Power of his wrath

The air be filled with sounds
Of humans cry
Beneath a dark, devilish
Apocalyptic sky

Dusk Before The Dark

    In a dream last night I saw you
It was just before you said goodbye
The vision was clear and I could see
The tear in your eye

It’s been the same dream now
For seven nights in a row
And I wish now that I knew all
The things I didn’t know

Like how to be a lover but more
Important,how to be a friend
In the darkness I scream out your name
But it’s just a whisper in the wind

You’ll never know my regret or how
Deep I feel the cut from my mistake
And now until the end of time
You’ll be the memory I’ll never shake

If I could turn back the hands of time
Would I know what to change
My mind is so confused it’s
In a state of derange

I don’t want the night to fall and
In the distance I hear the song of a lark
I can’t stop the inevitable and I begin to
Cry here in the dusk before the dark

A Place Called Shadeville

Well I was on the road of the straight and
Narrow and everything was going well
But my baby up and left me and now
I’m driving on the highway to Hell

Faster and faster I’m spiraling
Further and further down
I think I’m past the point of no return
And I can’t seem to turn myself around

A cloud of darkness is hanging over me
And I have no hope for a better tomorrow
I know a man ain’t supposed to cry
But here I am drowning in my sorrow

Up ahead in the distance I see a neon light
I need a place to stop so that I can think
I need some food for nourishment and
I could use a nice stiff drink

So I pulled into the parking lot to get a
Grip on the way that I feel
The sign outside says The Grumpy Goat
And it’s in A Place Called Shadeville

This is not a poem

Ladies/Men/Gay

  Ladies you are beautiful
Ladies you deserve the best
Ladies you deserve everything
Ladies to avoid a broken heart, listen!!!
Ladies find a man that makes you their world
Ladies anything less is an invitation for
Your broken heart
———————————————————————
Men you are not beautiful
Men you deserve a woman
Men she deserves the best
Men she deserves everything
Men make her your world
Men anything less is an invitation for
Your broken heart
Men you would only have yourself to blame
Men give her respect and give her your
Unconditional love or just shut up because you don’t deserve her otherwise
Because you are lucky to have a woman
———————————————————————-
Gay find a partner that does the same
Treat each other with love or you don’t deserve each other.
———————————————————————
Seriously it takes two too make any relationship work but guys seriously you’re
Lucky if a woman loves you stop with the wondering eyes and thinking the grass is greener on the other side for if a woman loves you it’s better than any lust you will ever find
Give her 100% and there’s no broken hearts for either of you!!!

Let His Love Reign

     There’s no reason for jealousy
There’s no reason to covet
One man his life he sacrificed on a hill
body nailed to wood made to decussate

There’s no reason for un solicited hate
There’s no reason to be mean
One man taught us a better way
His blood washes us clean

There’s no reason for this madness
There’s no reason for this world insane
Jesus gave his life in the name of Love
Let his Love Reign

The Heart Of America

  Together we stand
Divided we fall
All for one
And one for all

This is what was
This was the heart
Beating strong and true
But it’s now broken apart

Now it’s divided we stand
And I don’t care if you fall
There’s no love for thy neighbor
There’s no love at all

Only the strong will survive
There’s no future or hope, it’s just hate
When the weak are dead, they’ll turn
On each other and this is the fate

Destiny when they don’t know how to
Farm or hunt or cook
They think they can take and take
Then they’ll see what they took

I can see the future clear in their world
The farmer is dead and his crop too
His cattle and chickens as well
With nothing to renew

Then they’ll have it all and have nothing
All the money with nothing to buy
The cars the houses no fuel no law
Not a thing no factory for supply

This is the Liberal way
They think this is best
Back to the days
Of the Wild Wild West

**** or be killed
Nothing left to live for or die for
Just empty city streets and barren land
And time ticking away to hell’s door

The liberals, what’s yours is mine
Though they didn’t work a day
But it’s not fair if anyone has it
And they don’t, are the words they say

But in reality when they get what they
Want, they will have nothing at all
Everything will be worthless when it’s
Divided we stand and I don’t care if you fall

Because now there’s no love
Only hate and hysteria
That’s what we have beating
In the heart of America

Evil Within

      For sixty one years I have been mostly
In control except every now and then
But there’s been times when the world
Has caught glimpses of the Evil within

Everyone has this problem but most
Are not as capable and strong
However some remain in complete control
Their Evil never to harm or do wrong

Daily I see the battle unfold before my
Eyes between Evil and the Good
And it breaks my heart knowing that we
never treat each other the way we should

There’s been a shift in the Matrix and more
And more I see Evil slipping through the cracks
The worlds train is derailing and it’s
Running off of its tracks

I can feel it in the Atmosphere unfolding
Before us, I see the Apocalypse begin
And I myself am losing my control
Over my own powerful Evil Within

One Bad Apple 🍎

       Take yourself self away to
The garden of Eden, with Adam and Eve
And from the very beginning you can
See the Devil had something up his sleeve

The serpent whispered in the ear of Eve
And persuaded her to eat the forbidden fruit
It was so much temptation she couldn’t refuse
But that fruit was rotten well beyond the root

She became aware of all of the universe
And convinced Adam to do the same
The Devil was smiling so evil for he knew
This was just the beginning of his game

Now you are back to modern day and
And see the evil that’s all around
It’s so bad that you can almost feel
The heat from beneath the ground

The Devil so great at his deception
Putting himself in positions of prestige
As priest taking advantage of children
And now it seems we are being besieged

As the battle rages between the dark & light
We must recognize and avoid the shrapnel
But in looking back now to that day
That sure was one bad apple 🍎

Far from my best but in
My defense, I started writing
And got pulled away and I
Couldn’t get it back.

Life & Existence

     Just get all you can get
Work is everything, greed and money
Stay focused, dismiss the wife and kids
You’ve got your biscuits and honey

Big house and fancy car
It takes up the time you had to spare
But as long as you keep up with the
Joneses,you never seem to care

Sure you still take vacations with the
Family but to them you’re still a stranger
Because even when you’re there you’re not
Your stress is high and you’re in danger

You asked me how I can live my life
Without the same wants and desires
I tell you that life is easier and more
Enjoyable when there’s less that it requires

So like a river that flows,  I always
Take the path of least resistance
And I just thank the Lord above
For my Life & Existence

Jesus & Rock & Roll

    Well I ran into an old friend of mine
And it was clear something had him down
So I just gave him a hug and I said
Hey man what’s up with the frown

He said since I saw you last, I gave my
Heart to a woman, I guess I’ll never learn
She took my heart and what did she do?
She put it on the fire to burn

There was nothing I could do
To bring him a smile or any cheer
So I said let’s go to a bar
And I’ll buy you a beer

We sat and talked about old times
And we had a laugh or two
But the damage was done, I fear
That he’ll be forever blue

I said I gotta go and I was headed to the
Door and as I turned and waved goodbye
I saw that mans lip start to quiver
And a tear fell from his eye

And the words he said will haunt
Me until the day someone finds me dead
To be clear he said them twice and
Forever they will echo in my head

He said, take my advice my friend
If you want to save your soul
Do me a favor and just put your faith
In Jesus & Rock & Roll

Yes he said, take my advice my friend
If you want to save your soul
Do me a favor and just put your faith
In Jesus & Rock & Roll

Nurse Angels

      It’s an evil world we live in
And the Demons hide in the shadows
Down below is where they call home
Where the fire burns and the smoke billows

Satin is their king and he loves his little
Games and he whispers in our ears
He loves to cause chaos and he uses
The media to play on our fears

Every day problems can bring us down
But we must see our way through
It gets harder each day to keep our faith
But it’s something we must all do

And if you ever find yourself in the hospital
Because life threw you a curve
There’s something I know from experience
And I’m sure you too will observe

The Devil and his demons are no match
For God and he’s covered all the angles
And one of those many ways is because
He gave us all Nurse Angels

I dedicate this poem to my daughter
Karissa, she is one of the Nurse Angels
This poem is about.

Shambhala

   Is it a fantasy or is it just a dream
A mythical place free of hostility
People living in harmony and in
Complete enlightenment and tranquility

Here upon this Earth somewhere between
The vast desert of the Gobi
And the mountains of the Himalaya
How wonderful it would be

I’ve heard the songs they’ve sang
And one by Three Dog Night
A beautiful image of walking the streets
And halls an overwhelming delightful sight

To be one with mind and body
And with each other in peace
The hatred and division at an end
So divine as the fighting would cease

Should we have to venture far out in
Space or even in our Milky Way to Aquila
Or is it really a possibility to come to
This achievement in a place like Shambhala

Unseen Reality

     Since the beginning and eternal
In the realms of time and space
The battle for souls rages on as
Physical death constantly takes place

So it was written so it shall be done
Good verses Evil Earth, Heaven & Hell
In the words of the ancient text
It says that Good will prevail

Jesus was Crucified on the Cross
The Blood was Shed
Nothing was Left undone
No words were left unsaid

You can stand your own ground
You can hold steadfast and deny
As the final hour continues to grow near
Where will you be when things go awry

I’ve put my Faith in the written word
I have chosen Jesus and the Lords Decree
It’s time for you to open your eyes and
Let them see the Unseen Reality

The Rap

       I love my poetry and I will say
It time after time after time
I know poetry doesn’t have to include
It but I have respect for the rhyme

There’s a certain element you get
When you hear it in the song
And it can be quite beautiful even if
It’s about a good love gone wrong

I know that I’m not Shakespeare
So I just take the advice of KISS
Keep it simple stupid so that’s why
I write my poetry like this

Though I say to each his own
I question the beauties cost
When the artist can take happy birthday
And it sounds intimidating and it’s lost

There’s nothing about it that is good
It just sounds like horrible crap
Go ahead and call me old fashioned
But I say **** The Rap

Deadly Is The KISS

      She’s the human equivalent of the
Killer spider known as the black widow
And she’ll get under your skin
Like the penetrating chigoe

She spins her Webb and awaits her
Un expecting prey to fall into her lap
And she’ll quickly incircle as he slowly
Dies in the grasp of her death trap

In her world she is the dominant one
She will forever reign
Falling in love with her will bring
Even the strongest man a life of pain

I warn every man of the danger
Of love, it can tear your world apart
You might think you’re tough but
Yet fragile is the heart

Beware the pretty face and the fragrance
Of her perfume, though it’s hard to resist
Her stunning eyes and her smile are just
Her tricks, remember Deadly Is The KISS
