Where Her Spirit Fled
Chuck Kean Jan 12
Where Her Spirit Fled

      Once a body with a breath of life
The Doctors reported she was dead
Instantly the tears began to fall
Though knowing where her spirit fled

From a life of abuse, she now
Sleeps in peace in her best bed
During her days she watches over us
From the place where her spirit fled

She always believed in Angels
And in the Bible stories she read
Now she’s one of them
In the place where her spirit fled

She always loved spring and
Winter she would always dread
I know she’s loved and it’s always
Spring in the place where her spirit fled

A Butterfly Angel forever fluttering near a
Rainbow of purple, green, yellow, and red
In a meadow of vibrant flowers sending
Her love from Where Her Spirit Fled

ZEAL FOR THE LORD
Chuck Kean Jul 2020
ZEAL FOR THE LORD

    As humans we are far from perfect
Though some of us try to be
We all fall short of this task
We are just incapable of this ability

Daily struggle keeps us from focusing
And well it’s just impossible
Most of us believe in a higher power
There’s some who believe it’s implausible

God is known the only form of perfection
And he is believed to be the creator
All that is good and the Devil is known as
The fallen Angel and as the perpetrator

We have two paths we can choose
And we are responsible for our decision
Ultimately though this results in our
Inability to love and causes our division

That’s when we have to have faith
And for thy neighbor still show them love
This may let them see the light
And know the power from above

I do my best to do my part and I let his
Word be my armor my shield and my sword
Second Kings ten sixteen, come with me
And see my ZEAL FOR THE LORD

The Clique
Chuck Kean Feb 8
The Clique

    Follow, follow, follow, we’re such
An individually weak society
You’re either in or you’re out  
Leaving us with no self piety

So consumed with what others think
There’s a desire to be liked or loved
To feel a sense of belonging instead of
Being judged and pushed and shoved

Like sharks to blood they’re quick and
Swift as they move in for the ****
Everyone else is watching you and
Gauging the strength of your will

High School never ends it’s just not
Always so plain to see
Backstabbing takes you by surprise
But you were aware of their ability

You never were one to walk in line
Like ashes of a cigarette they flick
You’re so easily dismissed
If you’re not in The Clique

Suddenly
Chuck Kean Jan 2022
Suddenly

    They were strangers at the same party
Their eyes met, love at first sight suddenly
Wedding plans were made and a month
Later they were married so suddenly

Their love was bliss and it didn’t take
Long a positive pregnancy so suddenly
They were so happy with excitement
And anxiety everything coming suddenly

A house was bought and they moved in
Nursery complete so suddenly
She’s going into labor he’s at work
And they call get to the hospital suddenly

He hears over the phone there’s complications things going wrong suddenly
He’s driving as fast as he can
He must get there suddenly

He prayed don’t take them from me
If you need someone, take me suddenly
And a semi runs a red light and hit him
Broadside and it took his life suddenly

And a cheer was heard loud in delivery
Momma and baby are doing fine suddenly
And someone had to tell mamma the
News and everything changed so suddenly

Our lives so precious, so live and love
And change your life suddenly
For life is too short and temporary and
In the blink of an eye it can end that suddenly

Broken
Chuck Kean Jun 2020
Broken

   My tears they flow
Like rain from the sky
My thoughts, from here, where do we go
So many questions why

The world in despair
The future no longer bright
Are we beyond repair
Forever locked in a fight

Is this the true beginning of the end
Is everyone the enemy
Can no one be a friend
Is this our final destiny

I think of the children, and sigh
This is the world we leave
What do we say when they ask why
My heart and soul they grieve

God we’ve suffered through the years
Now only words of hate are spoken
We’ve all shed the tears
We need your love, for we are broken

Police/Flashing lights
                  (Chaos/Confusion)

  It is just another day
And we are on our way home from School
But good or bad
We had to remember the golden rule

Well there was really more than one, never
Make too much noise coming in the door
Never leave your shoes or toys
In the middle of the floor

Never bring a friend over
To spend the night
It was always best if we
Kept them out of sight

Because we never knew when
There was going to be Police/Flashing lights
Chaos/Confusion-Pain and tears
Another day with on of his drunken fights

Like the time the Refrigerator & Stove
We’re in the yard and he was on the porch
With a Shotgun Holding the Police at bay
Or the time in the middle of the night
My sister had to run across the street to
Get the Police so they could take him away

Paddy Wagons and slurred words
Sights and sounds I’ll never forget
Though I pray that they leave me
But they haven’t yet

I think the visions of my mothers face
Every time that he made her cry
Will truly stay with me
Until the day I die

I guess even if I lived a life of illusion
I would still not escape
Police/Flashing Lights, Chaos/Confusion

Another poem from my past from my
First book (New Angel) as I am sifting
Trough it to decide what I want to put
In my new book (Heart Felt Flight)
The events in this poem were a constant
Way of life for us.
He drank all day and by afternoon it didn’t
Take much for the whole neighborhood to
Know that our dad Joe was at it again and
It wouldn’t be long until there
Was Police/Flashing Lights

Living The Dream
Chuck Kean Jun 2021
Living The Dream

    Some may say I’m crazy
But dreams never came my way
Though nightmares were a constant,
To me the difference is night and day

Some people chased their dreams
And they were able to make them come true
But I was always running from my nightmare  And dreams were something I never knew

So I’m not rich and famous and
I’m not some company CEO
I didn’t become a millionaire by being
A self made man who’s in the know

I’m not a homeless man by being a victim
Of circumstances or self destruction
But I feel my life will always Be like a
Growing city constantly under construction

But having said that I’ve realized
The nightmares have flowed down the stream
I have a beautiful wife and a wonderful life
And you could say I’m living the Dream

To Be
Chuck Kean Mar 20
To Be

       To be or not to be
Every day is a choice you see
To be or not to be
It’s a choice made easily

To be or not to be
One who is kind and friendly
To be or not to be
Or to be mean in great degree

To be or not to be
One who values integrity
To be or not to be
Or one without values despicably

To be or not to be
One who handles things with sensitivity
To be or not to be
Or one who handles things carelessly

To be or not to be
One who is Devilishly or Godly
To be or not to be
And Godly is how I choose To Be

Shattered Rose 🌹
Chuck Kean Jan 2020
Shattered Rose

   As a young girl she dreamed about
Marrying a Prince in a fairytale life
And being a Princess and being so
Happy just being the Princess wife

As she grew, she learned the realities
Of life but a girl can still dream
So she would hide away in her room
And imagine lying next to a crystal blue stream

She would be there next to her Prince
On a bright Sunny day
Laughing as they enjoyed their time
Watching the dog and butterflies play

Time passed and love would come and go
The mirror would show she was older
Her heart never felt that kind of love
So it just grew so much colder

Her perception of life was false
She couldn’t handle reality
She withered her life away
Waiting for her fantasy

She lived in the comfort of her room
With the Moon & Stars and shadows
She died alone with her heart in pieces
On the floor like a Shattered Rose

The Depths
Chuck Kean Jan 2024
The Depths

      As I age each day I realize things
That I never realized before
I don’t know if you can call it wisdom
Maybe it’s just medicine for the cure

I see myself in a time long ago
And I see myself in the here and now
Sometimes I feel that I haven’t changed
But boy have things changed and how

As the past continues to get further away
And as much as I love that it’s behind me
I’ve realized that the past has made me
Who I am and now it’s clear to see

I had to live through it and I had to be
Where I Am here in this place
I’m in the present because of the past
It’s all relative to time and space

I couldn’t be this man without the past
And breathing each of my breaths
And sometimes we must re visit the past
To understand The Depths

You Can’t Hold Me No More

    Well you took me by surprise
Just one look into your eyes
I was caught in your witches spell
And your diva head began to swell

I thought I’d never get away
As you were desperate that I stay
And I became a prisoner of doubt
As I told myself there was no way out

And I was just like so many that came before
You scratched another notch another score
And I just needed to believe in me
To be able to set myself free

As the years slowly passed me by
Hope was lost with each tear I would cry
And In my darkness I saw a flicker of light
And I heard a whisper telling me to fight

And somehow I was able to survive
Waiting for this day to arrive
I saw an opportunity to slip out the door
And now you can’t hold me no more

No Rhyme Nor Reason

       Just like the guy who’s feet
Are to big for his bed, I heard in a song
Life is too short for fussing and fighting
That stuff takes much too long

What side of the fence are you on and
The difference can you rise above
Is it worth killing strangers, is it
Worth killing someone you love

In a lifetime so temporary, can you afford
To Really take a stand and draw the line
I laugh at your ignorance and integrity
It’s like fighting over Whiskey or Wine

Over politics are you really ready for
Ignoring the lessons from Civil War
Instead of fighting the enemy of foreign
Foe we fight each other on our own shore

In the middle of Summer I feel the Winter
Closing in with its cold season
Must love die in the battle of stupidly
In the darkness of No Rhyme Nor Reason

Democratic Propaganda
Chuck Kean Jun 2020
Democratic Propaganda

  The hate spews like the water that
Flows over the falls of Niagara
And it burns in the veins to the hearts
Like the fire from volcano magma

They so desperately want to keep
Their power and their control
They will do anything for the cause
To the Devil they’ve sold their soul

First lie, deception was the Russian Coalition, since they’ve been loading the platter
With a Covid pandemic and now with the
Rioting and Black lives matter

The Devil is working over time through the
Dems but they are failing to realize
The country they are trying to deceive
Has opened their eyes

And now like young lovers forbidden to
See each other,they always rebel
The country will do the same and the Dems
Will be putting themselves through Hell

Four more years of the Trump
And Republicans will rule for many more
The actions of the Dems have let us see
The Devil like we never have before

So since we all have a voice, I figured
I would speak with every stanza
Just Incase you’re not able to see the
Media and the Democratic Propaganda

River’s Soul

     Twenty first century blood
Is the new blood I reflect in my art
Inside my body I feel the pain
Still beating is my shattered heart

Though cautiously I walked to the
Edge I felt compelled to take the dive
Now I’m swimming for my life
Praying that I can survive

In the beginning my love for you
It burned like a wild fire
But the words of your truth were
Spoken from the mouth of a liar

Now I feel the pulling forces from the
Gravity of deep Space black holes
And we can’t recover from our mistakes
The power is lost from the controls

And when I’m alone
I dream that I can runaway
The damage is unmendable
And I’ve no reason to stay

The copper bullets fired are just as
Deadly as lead in the battle we fight
I’m praying for the way out, can
Anyone show me the light

Or has it been exterminated and for
The rest of my life I’ll be unwhole
And I’ll drift through life a broken
Man with a River’s Soul

The CD title is 21st Century Blood,
The Warning are three sisters from Monterey Mexico who fell in love with American Classic Rock and began playing their instruments and writing songs at a very early age. It’s Phenomenal when this CD was released the Bass player was 11, the Drummer
Was 14 and the lead guitar player was 16
They all do vocals and play Piano.
Black Holes is my favorite and the Drummer is singing and playing Piano.

Find Your Own Way Home

Find Your Own Way Home

   I’ve walked through the valley
Of shadows and despair
I’ve been surrounded by darkness
In a world so cold and unfair

I never understood it
And I know I probably never will
But somehow in the chaos and confusion
There came a calmness and still

Over and over it happened, Time and time again and I realized I wasn’t alone
I knew I didn’t have to fight the forces
Of Evil all on my own

So I prayed for guidance so desperately
Needing a new life to begin
I had to come to understand that humans
We’re born to sin

So I asked for forgiveness
And Jesus saved my soul
I had to find my own way home
And trust in letting him take control

So if you’re lost and wondering
Aimlessly as you roam
Reach out for Jesus so you can
Find your own way home

It’s Very Deep

       Sometimes I feel fuzzy and full
Of love and happiness and affection
And other times there’s a darkness
And life is going in the wrong direction

Sometimes there’s no philosophy
And thoughts are worthless or cheap
But then there’s times when I can
Surprise myself with something deep

Thus is the case with this but you might
Want to smack me and call me a creep
So you might not want to continue
Reading this and take that leap

Poetry is something that I dig
And I know you dig it so true
So we dig it and he digs it and
She digs it and they dig it too

And so now that it’s done
I hope you feel that it wasn’t too steep
But I hope we can all agree
That at least It’s very deep

Why
Chuck Kean Dec 2021
Why
Why

     When I was younger,
I just wanted to die
There were times I didn’t want to get
Out of bed, I still did but I don’t know why

There were so many times that I
Would just lay there and cry
Through my darkness, I couldn’t see
And I was constantly asking why

She was broken and she
Was barely getting by
Her past was nearly just as bad
And she couldn’t understand why

We both had bad father’s
And her Ex was a bad guy
Neither one of us ever felt really loved
What was the reason why

We both survived somehow
Though we really didn’t try
There just had to be a reason
But we didn’t know why

Then one day by chance or was it
We happened to pass each other by
But we missed our chance at the time
And we’ll never know why

And as I look back on it now
My memories around my head they fly
My thoughts drifting in the wind
I realize nothing is by chance, ask me why

When we finally met face to face
We couldn’t fight it, so it was best to comply
The feeling was overwhelming
We couldn’t explain why

Some things are meant to be
Just like in physics certain laws apply
God and his band of Angels
Are the answer and the reason why

Edge Of Suicide
Chuck Kean Jul 2020
Edge Of Suicide

   How sad does one have to be
How dark is the soul inside
For the brain to begin the thought
Process to stand on the edge of Suicide

When does one start to withdraw
And from society hide
When does the depression push
The sanity to the edge of Suicide

When does the light fade and ones
Passion for life subside
At what point does the rationality switch
To think it’s ok to be on the edge of Suicide

When does happiness and sadness
Like a storm front of hot and cold collide
It frightens me to know the answers to the
Questions for I’ve been to the edge of Suicide

I know when sanity and insanity
Become ones reality as they coincide
And when insanity over takes ones hope
So they find themselves on edge of Suicide

But I was given an Angel, someone
To whom in my feelings I could confide
It reversed my steps and I began
To retreat from the edge of Suicide

So if your days are as dark as the darkest
Night, I pray for enough sanity so you decide
To reach out for something or someone
So you never stand on the edge of Suicide

The Angels Tears

   It’s only logical, listen to me
And what I’m about to share
You don’t have to live a life alone
If deep down you can prove you care

So you’re a tough guy
You’ve got your pride
But if you want love
You’ve gotta put it aside

You’ve gotta be willing
To open up your heart
You’ve gotta be gentle and genuine
Be a soul mate and counterpart

If you want an Angel, be her Heaven
And treat her well
Because my dear friend
Angels don’t live in Hell

You’ve got to be able to comfort
Her and take away her fears
And never be the reason
For the Angels tears

  A million to one would be an
Understatement of impossible possibility
For true love from the vast sea of humanity
And to feel the completeness of tranquillity

As a lost soul with no direction
Like an asteroid floating aimlessly in space
Searching and longing for a magical embrace
To suddenly seeing her beauty her face

As if it was destiny without reason or rhyme
Opposites attract like a magnetic force
Nothing could ever have changed it’s course
Logically it must have been a higher source

For I was in a pathetic state of being
Drowning in my worthlessness and pain
Listening to the demon voices in my brain
In my own darkness and never ending rain

Then God looked down upon me and smiled
Seeing the disaster of my event in my venue
He sent an amazing Angel to my rescue
I was able to heal and start a new

I’m alive and well and very blessed
From one whom seemed to be *******
Matched with one so vestal
And now living a life so amazingly celestial

The Doctor Will Say

     I’m a man in my late fifties
My body has been abused
I wish I could have a new one or
At least from life be excused

I still need to work and so
Each day I must carry on
As each day arrives though I can
Feel the weakening of the pion

For I have been beaten by an abusive
Father and by bullies too
I’ve been injured playing sports
And to me pain is nothing new

Car totaling accidents you
Know I’ve been in a few
I’ve also had surgeries and here’s
something I need to share with you

I’m sensitive to the Anesthesia
So I die and they bring me back
I’ve always survived some how but I
Don’t wanna be a surgery crackerjack

Years ago I had a forklift accident and I
Injured my right shoulder but no surgery
I was much younger and tougher
But now that old injury is killing me

The pain is getting unbearable and I don’t
Take anything afraid to be a drug addict
But the pain and my brain are now in
A constant bitter conflict

Mind over matter is not an option
My shoulder is now in a rapid decay
Still though I hesitate to see the Doctor
Because I know what the Doctor will say

     I can be sitting right next to you
And I can be in my darkest place
You’d never know where my thoughts are
I’ve got an unreadable poker face

Go ahead and ask me how I’m doing
And even if I’m going through Hell
I’ll lift my head up high and smile
And say I’m doing well

Though I’ve been damaged
There’s still love in this heart of mine
There’s a light refusing to die
As it fights every moment to shine

When I wake up everyday
And the world hits me with its best shot
It may knock me to the ground
And I’ll smile and say is that all you got

You will never know the battle I’m
Fighting and I will never surrender
I can play the role better than the best
I’m The Great Pretender

     The world is beating to the rhythm
Of a different drummer, out of tune
It has become comfortably numb
It has no doubtlessly become immune

To the missing children, to the killings
On the street at the hands of a goon
To the drug addicts and homeless
Yes it is so totally immune

To the rate of abortions, to the hatred
Sweeping over us like a typhoon
To the political division, to the separation
Of family, yes so very immune

To the bullying and shootings in our
Schools, to the liberal buffoon
To the lost morals and respect of
Others yes it is so immune

To domestic violence and runaways
And Suicide and darkness and gloom
To the loss of soldiers lives for our
Freedom, so unconsciously immune

To the littered city streets and country
Side, as if we’ve put ourselves in a cocoon
We’ve closed our eyes to evil as if it
Doesn’t exist, oh so immune

To the Lost good will of man, to the
Terrorism of 9/11 and the Antifa loon
To the acceptance of evil acts and lost
Teaching of God, oh so very immune

To the fact that even the Devil believes
And as my tears flow like a monsoon
I can’t help but wonder how and why
We’ve become so heartless and immune

When Jesus Comes

   It doesn’t matter where you come from
The richest of Hollywood or from the slums
All that matters is what’s in your heart
And soul when Jesus comes

Your decisions take you on your path
And determine what your life becomes
So please choose wisely so you’re in
The right place when Jesus comes

No one is perfect so don’t be quick to judge
We must control the flame of our tongues
Hate has no place in Heaven and it won’t
Be acceptable when Jesus comes

So I pray that you ask for forgiveness
And let his love flow like the River runs
Give thanks and praise so you’ll be
Prepared when Jesus comes

Let there be no doubt when you hear
The trumpets and the drums
That your heart mind and soul are where
They need to be when Jesus comes

Under Your Midnight Sun

    I took a walk in the forest of your love
But through the thick I could not see
I heard the howling of the wolves
I knew you were coming for me

I knew my life would never be the same
What was written would be done
I knew that I had to surrender,
I saw the rise of your Midnight Sun

(C) Under Your Midnight Sun
I was frozen in my tracks
I didn’t dare to run
Now I hunger for the Darkness
Under Your Midnight Sun

When you got your claws into me
Your cut was quick and deep
And when I bled and screamed
You knew I was yours to keep

You know I saw the warning signs
But they were something I chose to ignore
I try not to think about it too much for
You always leave me wanting more

(C)Under Your Midnight Sun
I was frozen in my tracks
I didn’t dare to run
Now I hunger for the Darkness
Under Your Midnight Sun

(Music interlude—Solo)

(B) And like the waves crashing on the shore
You always come knocking at my door
And I see the Animal in your eyes
And it doesn’t take me long to realize
I’m just a man and I was born to sin
And I always let you in
Because I hunger for the Darkness

Defying Gravity

     It’s hard to hide in the dark when you’re
The Darkness ruled by your own personality
And it’s hard to walk in the light when you’re
The Brightness struggling with the Duality

There’s always something to keep you down
Life at times can be such a Calamity
And every day we encounter cruel people
And suffer from their insensitivity

Sometimes I just want to close my eyes
And live a life in a wonderful fantasy
But I know I can’t do that and if I did I would
Eventually have to open them to my reality

I have come face to face with Death
And I know about my own mortality
But just maybe with my poetry I’ve
Found a way to achieve an Immortality

And with everything that tries to bring
Me Down I keep my strong mentality
But I couldn’t do it on my own and Jesus
Is the one that keeps me Defying Gravity

Something You Should Know
Chuck Kean Dec 2024
Something You Should Know

    People always say that I don’t know
People always turn and walk away
People are lost in the darkness of the
Night even in the light of day

So many people seem to be
Paralyzed by their pain
So many people without an umbrella
Walking aimlessly in the rain

Searching for love and searching for
Answers and searching for peace
Living their lives on their own terms
Until one day they decease

We have the freedom of free will
We have the power of choice
It’s time to turn off the noise and
Listen to the still small voice

No Jesus and there’s no peace
The seed of love will never grow
Know Jesus and know peace
And love is Something You Should Know

Silence
Chuck Kean Jul 2020
Silence

    You were warmth,you were love
You were life, you were the essence
You were the light, but now it’s dark
And it’s cold in your absence

I visit you when I can
Especially when I feel so alone
But I cannot touch you or hold you
But just stare at the stone

So much life you’ve missed
But today life isn’t worth living
The world has gone crazy
There’s no more caring and giving

If I could join you I would, so badly
I wish there were some mechanism
For some type or form of communication
To hear your voice of wisdom

But I come and I talk and talk
And I cry in desperation of my reliance
But I’m left with more loneliness
And the sound of silence

The Irrational Mind
Chuck Kean Feb 5
The Irrational Mind

    I’m writing this here today
To bring awareness of the unstable
As we move further into the future
More and more will be set upon our table

Trans Gender is just another example
Of the overwhelming new trend
Whether it’s drugs or alcohol or dementia
Or just a mental illness unable to mend

The number of people suffering is rising
At an alarming out of control rate
It’s something that isn’t talked about
Though we’re beyond the crisis state

I’m talking to you as a man who’s had
More than my fair share of experience
And in each there’s a difference in the
Aspects and the individual variance

If you find yourself face to face
Ones mannerisms are well defined
And you must maintain a mind rational
When dealing with The Irrational Mind

The Other Side
Chuck Kean Jun 6
The Other Side

     Well I’ve given my life to Jesus, it
Doesn’t mean I think I’m better than you
It just means I’m going to try to be the
Best I can be with everything I do

I feel the love of Jesus so powerful
The Demons just can’t bare it
I feel compelled by a force I’ve never
Felt pushing me to share it

You have the choice to believe
And you have the choice to deny
I’m not gonna say you’re right or wrong
There’s no judgment in my eyes

All I can do is tell of my experience
I hope you can feel the passion
When you see me in my Jesus apparel
I hope you know it’s not for fashion

I’m proud of the Man I am today
My love for Jesus I’ll never hide
And when our time on Earth is over
I pray I’ll see you on The Other Side

Your Sad Eyes
Chuck Kean Jan 9
Your Sad Eyes

     Looking back on my memories
I know I’m lucky to be alive
Struggling with emotions, thoughts of
Suicide and the instinct to survive

Witnessing the violence and abuse
I saw your dreams turn to nightmares
And all of your glimpses of hope
Turn to blank and empty stares

I saw all of your once joy
Turn into a life of pain
And all of your sunshine turn
Into darkness and rain

I saw your beautiful smile
Change to a half hearted grin
I watched your willingness to fight
Surrender to a battle you couldn’t win

With all of your might you prayed
For a Hero with a cape
But he never came to rescue you from
Your fate and you never could escape

And all of the emotions you ever had
Were completely drained
Except for the strongest one
And it was fear that remained

All of your love was hanging onto
Broken promises and lies
And your vision of a bright future
Became blurred in Your Sad Eyes

My Ninth Brain

My Ninth Brain

       Well I’ve procrastinated and
I’ve wept many of tears
I’ve dealt with it now literally
Almost for a good 15 years

It’s really just common sense
But it’s a manipulation of words
The phrases and ways of questioning
The creators are turds

Most of the stuff isn’t for me
There’s not a lot pertaining
I think it’s just how they avoid boredom
For them it’s entertaining

I’m getting certified for things I
Know Nothing about or need
I never retain the information
And the videos make my ears bleed

My employer is like a Master
Making me jump through hoops
It’s your typical micro management
It’s how they manage the troops

It’s like pulling teeth no lie
An agonizing throbbing pain
I dread getting on my laptop
To engage in My Ninth Brain

Light House

Light House

Light house, light house for all sailors to see
A beacon to warn the dangers of the shore
In the thickest of fogs or stormy nights
You will keep them safe for ever more

Built to last on a hill or cliff
You will stand strong and true
Lives are saved every night
When your light comes shining through

Warning, warning you’re getting to close
The rocks beneath me are jagged and large
They are capable enough to sink your ship
Whether it be an ocean liner or barge

I was put here to shine for you
I won’t let you down
As long as you heed the warning
And turn away or turn around

Thank you light house
With your light so bright
Helping all ships at sea
Sail safe in the night

You are a hero to all
Who’s lives that your light saves
You deserve all recognition
Accolades and praise

Goodbyes
Chuck Kean Aug 2024
Goodbyes

      The first comes with the loss of your
Innocence in your walk of life
When you realize that love
Can cut you like a knife

When you’re no longer Naive
And not so willing to trust
And you wonder how many times you
Can get knocked down into the dust

When your heart breaks because
You have to leave your love behind
When you think that love again is
Something you’ll never find

And again when someone you love
Passes away and you drown in sorrow
These are the times when you wonder
If the Sun will rise tomorrow

Living life can be so wonderful but it can
Also drain all the tears from your eyes
Over time through the passing years as
We come face to face with all the goodbyes

Enchanted Kiss

Enchanted Kiss

     In a misty vision
She still comes to me
So many sleepless nights
I close my eyes but I still see

I see her on her Pegasus
I feel her powers as they begin to impel
I feel myself falling deeper
And deeper under her spell

I know I can never break free
I feel the tug of a greater force
This is not where I belong
I’ve got to let life take its course

Into a land of make believe
Or a world of another galaxy
Can this place of fairy tales
Be my strange odyssey

Is this just a crazy dream
Or does this place really exist
Am I losing my mind
Or did we share an enchanted kiss

Just Walk Away
Chuck Kean Jan 2020
Just Walk Away

   For most of us we’re taught to do
Unto others as we wish they do unto us
It’s better to be nice and
Not give cause for a fuss

For others it’s do unto others
Before others do unto them
It’s a dog eat dog world, When we’re
thrown into the water it’s sink or swim

When someone treats us badly
The first instinct is to seek revenge
This has always been human nature
Even before the age of Stonehenge

So you live for that moment and
Again you come face to face
You want so badly and with anger
To put that person in their place

But I tell you from deep in my heart
Just take heed to the words I say
Your heart and soul will be better off
If you just walk away

Sovereign
Chuck Kean Jan 26
Sovereign

     Well I am pretty sure this World
Isn’t supposed to be this way
It breaks my heart to think of its once
Complete beauty and watch it decay

When I say complete beauty I’m referring
To how we’ve stripped the land
And how it seems we’d rather fight with
Each other rather then lend a hand

How we have so many Religions and
Biblical Interpretations that separate
God is Love and he wants us to Love
And with all of this it generates hate

The Religions are nothing but Crap
They manipulate what’s really True
They tell you their interpretation and
Take your money as you sit in their Pew

I survive this world every day,behind
Me walks a full Angel squadron
And I set the Religion of it all aside
And let Jesus be my only Sovereign

Flutter,flutter
This way and that
And on a flower land
Like a raindrop splat
Then fly away high away
high away high
With a quick swoop back
down as if to wave bye,bye
So effortlessly and light
Then flutter,flutter
Out of sight

Inside The Walls
Chuck Kean Aug 2021
Inside The Walls

   In the darkness all alone, I can hear something but  I can’t figure it out
I could just be losing my mind
Which leaves me with some doubt

The sound is faint but it breaks the silence
It keeps me awake as I lay in my bed
Both scenarios frighten me, is something
There or is it in my head

I have all of these thoughts just
Racing through my brain
As the night slowly creeps, I find myself
On the edge of becoming insane

I find myself being paralyzed, unable
To make a sound, let alone a scream
I begin to pray that in the morning I
Will awaken to find it was just a dream

But even so I wonder if tomorrow night
I will hear the same whispered calls
And I’ll wonder if it’s just in my mind
Or is someone inside the walls

Twas the night before Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas
And KISS is rocking my house
Not a creature can be seen
Not even a mouse

The neighbors are all checking
To see what the heck is a matter
For none of them,not one
Has ever heard such a clatter

When they looked in my window
They saw me rocking around my tree
A nightmarish sight I am sure
They wish they didn’t see

My windows were shattered and I was
Screaming on Peter,Ace,Paul and Gene
And turning the volume up louder when
The Police arrived on the scene

They said man it is Christmas Eve
It’s obvious to us you are a black sheep
Why do you feel the need to rock when
Your neighbors are trying to sleep

I told the officers that it was in my DNA
I was born to rock & roll
I have always been on Santa’s naughty list
And have always received bags of coal

They turned my music off and took my
KISS CD’S and gave them to a trooper
I waited until they all drove out of sight
And I began to listen to my Alice Cooper

Chuck Was Here

    I’m just a nobody, just another forgetful
Face in a world of so many faces
Like one drop of water in the Ocean
Touching the shores of so many places

I do my best to care for others but I know
That I’ll be forgotten like yesterday’s news
I love my Rock & Roll but I can identify
With its origin as it comes from the blues

I talk to Jesus on a regular basis
I think of him as my best friend
And I understand that my life here
On Earth will come to an end

I still see the world as a beautiful place
But it’s getting uglier every day
And I don’t know why because it still
Won’t matter when the Lord takes me away

I wonder will I be remembered or not, yet for
Reasons that are still not completely clear
There’s something from inside me that
Wants The future to know Chuck Was Here

The Wolf You Feed
Chuck Kean Apr 2024
The Wolf You Feed

    The forces are real, invisible but
But obviously they can still be seen
If you observe your surroundings
It’s as clear as red and green

It’s as simple as our morals
To do what’s wrong or what’s right
To live in the love of the day
And not die in the darkness of night

The bottom line is it all depends
Upon your own wisdom and choice
When the Demon and Angel whisper
Which one becomes the strongest voice

Is it the Wolf of light and hope
The Wolf of darkness and despair
Tell me you’re not oblivious to the
The forces you must be aware

My words of wisdom are already your
Knowledge to which is your Creed
Because your survival and happiness
Depends upon The Wolf You Feed

Writers Block

     Forget the pen, the crayon, the chalk
Throw the words in a wok
My brain is in a complete state of shock
I hear it whisper to me as if to mock

The words un flowing as if they’re in a loch
I try but it’s all just a bunch of schlock
From my wheels I forgot to remove the chock
Can’t even free myself from my frock

So badly as before I want to rock
Everything seems like seagull squawk
Un organized and separated from the flock
Nothing logical desperately needing Spock

Beginning to feel somewhat of a gawk
Thinking I should seek help from a Doc
Because the word inventory is of low stock
This is officially known as writers block

Resurrection

Resurrection

    It was the ultimate gift of Love
One man sacrificed for all mankind
You can search for other stories such
As this but there’s none you will find

If you don’t believe it’s your choice but
Can we agree that love is the message
With love there’s forgiveness and
Forgiveness frees us from wreckage

I may be a dreamer and maybe Naive
But I’m a believer in our Lord above
I don’t believe in fighting and I don’t
Believe every push deserves a shove

I don’t know the lines we draw
And the ones that others may cross
But when this happens ultimately
It’s the love that gets lost

I urge everyone that has reached
Their point of disconnection
To reconnect on the account and
Purpose of Jesus’s death and Resurrection

I’m Not A Robot

      There’s so many versions
Of how the world ends
Some have brother fighting brother
And friends against friends

Others feel that it’s time for another
Asteroid from Space to strike
And some see the likes of a planet
Ruled by Apes and that’s what I like

Because it would be funny to hear the
Conversation of Apes about evolution
The high powers writing their history
Ensuring they have the only solution

Evolving from Humans the proof
Was discovered in the vaults of Shang
That nothing spontaneously burst
Into Everything by virtue of a big bang

Yet I think the reality is the takeover
By AI though our destiny we know not
I am seeing evidence right on my phone
When I have to prove I’m Not A Robot

Bless The ****

      It’s a cruel, cruel world
It’s no secret, it’s nothing new
So don’t take it personally, it’s just
A fact that’s undeniably true

The Government and the media
Is nothing but ******* and lies
Time is something so precious
And it’s true that Time flies

So if you find one day you must deal
With a Dip **** take it in stride
It’s really just a small World
Sooner or later you will collide

There’s always his **** or her ****
And someone who is the **** too
Just laugh it off and live your life
Tomorrow will be brand new

The **** will always hit the fan so
This is my message I wish to Transmit
Thank God for everything in life
And just Bless The ****

Take It Back

       Since The first time we met
Somehow I guess I stole your heart
And you gave me your love ignoring
All the red flags from the very start

You told yourself you were the Angel
That was here to save my soul
But clearly you were blinded and you
Couldn’t see the Devil was in control

Despite all that was against you it
Amazed me how you always gave your best
Though you never really made any
Progress and you always failed the test

I had truly convinced myself that
There would never come a day
No I never thought you could give up
On love and you’d just walk away

I kept pushing your limits to see how
Far you would bend before you would break
I guess this was the last straw and
It was more than you could take

I shouldn’t be surprised after constantly
Shaking the foundation, it would crack
And as easily as you gave your love to me
There’d come a day you’d Take It Back

The Night Of The Dolls

The Night Of The Dolls

       They are creepy and so life like
Their eyes seem to follow you
You pass it off as silliness yet down
Your spine a chill passes through

You tell yourself that dolls can’t
Hurt you and you denounce your fear
But something inside still makes you
Tremble when the night grows near

Like the stories of the werewolf and
Dracula at times the Moon is full
You know deep down there’s something
About it that let’s Evil rule

You’ve heard the myths and know
Of the legend of a baby’s cry
You’ve seen the tombstones of the dead
And know a possessed doll needs no alibi

But stuff like this isn’t really real
Yet there’s still this Erie feeling
You lay down in your bed and you
See a strange shadow upon the ceiling

You’re paralyzed and you’re about to die
You’re surrounded by a hundred eyeballs
And you realize the stories were true
And this is the night of the dolls
