I Still

   When I first saw her
My knees got weak
When I first met her
I couldn’t speak

When we had our first date
My heart was beating faster
I was a fish out of water
It was a beautiful disaster

I was under the influence
And my heart was exposed
I fell to the floor
The night I proposed

When she said yes
My heart soared into outer space
She is my Angel
She is my saving grace

Every time I see her even now
After all these years do I get a chill
I can honestly say the answer is
Yes you better believe I still

It Only Takes One

  Just food for thought
Something I’ve been thinkin
Something we all need to comprehend
And let it all sink in

You know how it is on a rainy day and
The rule is we should have our lights on
But you know some won’t
Yes there’s always one

The snow has been falling for hours
Over night so you scrape your car clean
And there’s the lazy one just wiped a spot
On the drivers side you know what I mean

So now there’s this virus we all know
The all powerful COVID—Nineteen
Shutting down a nation and people dying
But some people aren’t so keen

There’s the ones who just don’t care
And some just can’t understand
So what’s the big picture for the
Rest of us here in the heartland

I fear  this is something that will
Continue and  it will never be gone
Because the world is filled with the
Stupid and it only takes one

Like you have a dog and you walk it
And you always pick up the poo
But there are those people out there
That refuse the respectful thing to do

Like when you go to a Gas Station and
Find litter that’s been dumped from a car
Yet there’s the trash can not three feet
Away but that’s how people are

These, the same people that protest about
Bad drinking water and our environment
I don’t like being the man of darkness and
Doom but there’s a need for enlightenment

So now there’s this virus we all know
The all powerful COVID—Nineteen
Shutting down a nation and people dying
But some people aren’t so keen

There’s the ones who just don’t care

It’s Been A Long Time

   It’s been a long time since
I let him come out to play
It’s been a long time since
I let him enjoy the day

It’s been a long time since
I opened up the doors for the daylight
It’s been a long time since
I let the breeze flow, with delight

It’s been a long time since
I turned the stereo up loud like this
It’s been a long time since
I threw on some KISS

It’s been a long time since
I felt that child I’ve left behind
It’s been a long time since
I felt so unconfined

It’s been a long time since
I have, and hope you’ve enjoyed my rhyme
Today I let the kid inside of me come out
To play but it’s been a long time

IT’S  GONE

        Well it’s all in the past
You know the way that it was
You know the way we were
It’s gone

Lost is the tingle
Lost is the wanting
Lost is the needing
It’s gone

I can’t find the passion
I can’t find a reason
I can’t find my way
It’s gone

Lost in the darkness
Lost in the pain
Lost in my mind
It’s gone

I can’t find the feeling
I can’t even fake it
I can’t explain it
IT’S GONE!!!

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

It Takes Two

    When you fall in love
It's no longer just about you
Love is a commitment
It takes two

When things go wrong
You have to see it through
You can't just throw it all away
It takes two

You have to know your loved
One by heart
You should know when they
Are blue
Know what it takes to make
Them smile
It takes two

Know that the best gift in
Life is love
And always be true
Never turn your back on love
It takes two

Don't let your love fade
Find away to keep it new
Always give your love your heart
It takes two

Know the warning signs
When trouble is about to brew
Think before you speak
It takes two

Have faith in God and family
They will always be there
For you
And remember always remember
It takes two

I've been to Hell

  To hell,to hell,
I've been to hell
To hell,to hell,
I've been to hell

I've been beaten and
Mentally scarred
I've been to hell and
I'm permanently charred

I've choked on the smoke
I've felt the fires heat
I've smelt the devils breath
As he took to his seat

To hell,to hell,
I've been to hell
To hell,to hell,
Oh how the devil loves
To ring his bell
To hell,to hell
I've been to hell

I've hit rock bottom
In the shadow of doubt
I was lost in hopelessness
There was no way out

But I was bound and
Determined to survive
And with the help of angels
I made it out alive

I was in the company of
The sinner,thief and liar
I was surrounded by
Darkness and fire

But I never gave up
In the fight
Now I am saved and
I can see the light

But know that I’ve been to Hell

My father was an abusive alcoholic
He was the Devil. I feared him
And he would sit at the table and
Chain smoke and drink his beer
I smelled his nasty breath and choked on
His cigarette smoke
And felt the fires heat from his angry
Hurtful words and felt the sting
Of his fist on my face.
I lost my self in depression and drugs
And bad company. He loved to ring his bell
Bragging about himself.
This was my hell. I am free now!!!
This was the sequel to Words Of Steel.
God Bless!!!

I’ve Decided To Write A Book

I will write a book of short stories and
My poetry and it will be titled

I Will Re Evaluate
          My Own Intelligence

   It is the year twenty, twenty
We have come a long way right
So our intelligence should be high IQ
Our future well and bright

This was my thought as I go about
My every day simple task
But I look and see intelligence must
Be blocked by some type of casque

The brain of modern mankind
Has not advanced as it was perceived
Intelligence is far from reach
And is going un received

A media panic was put upon our nation
And for whatever reason everyone needed TP
Some one please help me, for now I feel
As if it’s fifty billion BC

What is the connection between the
Coronavirus and this
Was there a memo or warning of
Some kind, what did I miss

Are we a people of caveman brains
I really thought we were smarter
If we are, I guess everyone’s brain
Just left town on a charter

But the reality is, no we haven’t advanced
At all and so now with great diligence
Because I was wrong About us humans
I will re evaluate my own intelligence

Jesus And Dogs

    As we go through life and
Just live the life we are living
There’s one thing we know
Jesus and dogs are always forgiving

When people give up on you as they
Become inpatient, it can be so frustrating
But again here we are knowing
Jesus and dogs will always be waiting

Love can be so hard to find and yet
Love can be such an easy thing to lose
But you can never go wrong with love
If Jesus and dogs are what you choose

I’m not an expert on anything really so
Maybe I shouldn’t be giving advice to you
But if you investigate I’m sure you’ll find
What I say of Jesus and dogs to be true

You won’t find it in magazines or catalogues
Nor will you get it from cats, frogs or hogs
You might as well just have a pile of logs
True love only comes from Jesus and dogs

P.S. Jesus gives his true love with gifts
Wives,husbands, family,friends,and especially
Dogs. This poem is dedicated to the dogs in
My life. Prince,Freely,Harley,Doby and Buckeye.


How could you not believe in Jesus
Getting unconditional love from my Buckeye.

Jesus Christ

   Unconditional love is the gift
Eternal life is the promise
Accept the gift and forever
You can embrace the calmness

One creator our God
One race is the human race
The truth we all know but refuse
To come face to face

One blood we all bleed
The color is red
Listen with your heart
And not with your head

There’s just one problem
And the problem is sin
But we don’t have to lose
When there’s a way to win

There was an answer when
He offered himself to be sacrificed
There’s just one solution
And it’s Jesus Christ

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

Jesus Saved My Soul

    I’ve never been known for being well dressed
I sometimes can get so depressed
I can let life leave me so stressed
But I know that I am blessed

Literally you know I’ve been to Hell
I’m not sure what it means to be an infidel
Don’t know about a higher clientele
Could never seem to get off the carousel

My hearts been stabbed by the impeller
I feel like I crawled from a cellar
A real low life bottom dweller
My past is sadder than the story of old yeller

But I can say now it’s all behind me
From the chains that use to bind me
I have clearly broken free
Through the darkness the light I can see

The Devil has lost his control
Though I know I sin and love Rock & Roll
And I look like an ugly troll
It’s all good because Jesus saved my soul

Judgment Day Is Coming

     You think you are a sly one
Yes it seems you’re in the clear
But now you’ll always be looking over
Your shoulder in constant moments of fear

Your manipulation skills are grand
But this was like taking candy from a baby
You took advantage of your own parents
You’re such a classy lady

I know that you convinced them that your
Advice was sound and right
You presented everything in their best
Interest your plan was solid and tight

They were elderly and you circled like
A buzzard waiting for them to die
It wouldn’t surprise me if you murdered
Your father, when you called you didn’t cry

Sixty four thousand at least and a possible
******, Are you tossin and turnin at night
Or are you so smug and uncaring that your
Conscience is clear, you just turn out the light

You made sure the documents were signed
So everything went to you without suspicion
And now the ***** deeds are done
Your tricks were as smooth as a magician

I wonder as you smile with your arrogance
Can you hear the bag pipes humming
Earthly death will arrive some day lady
Judgment day is coming

This is a real life situation of family
Medicaid Fraud —$64,000 Thousand Dollars worth That we know of
Plus a possible ******
Main suspect is one of the Daughters of
My Father in law on my Wife’s side,
The man my wife’s mother married
This is under investigation.

Just One Twenty Four

   As we turned the corner
We could see the flashing lights
But there was more than normal
Usually a couple would suffice

It was just my little brother and I
And I could feel my stomach churn
This was just another day in the life
The way our world would turn

As we got closer the Police were backing
With Mom and their guns were drawn
The stove and refrigerator were thrown
Out on the back lawn

Mom rushed to hug us and we were put
In the back of a police car
They sped away with lights and sirens to
Grandma’s it wasn’t far

We were supposed to be safe there,
And as we were being taken away
We saw Dad on the front porch with a
Shotgun holding the Police at bay

Now at Grandma’s safe from harm
Just caddy corner from the Sugar Shack
A biker bar where there was a fight and
Police came, Bikers shot Police shot back

Bullets flying coming through the windows
Of Grandma’s apartment, we’re on the floor
We were crying and Grandma was praying
The bikers had ammo but the Police had more

The Sun went down and rose again
The world outside was very violent
Sirens were whaling and bullets flying
The night was never silent

I could tell you stories about getting beat up By Bullies and Gangs and so much more
They were also the world I survived
And the above was Just One Twenty Four

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

Kalee

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She’s family and I will love her always!!!

Kaleidoscope Eyes

   The first time that he saw her
She was such a beautiful surprise
It transformed his whole world, he
Saw everything with kaleidoscope eyes

Love at first sight is an understatement
Love is a phenomenon we can’t explain
The wheels were set in motion for his
Journey aboard a runway train

Head over heels he was for her
But she was just a modern day Delilah
She despised the male species
Their only obsession is the ******

She saw him coming from a mile away
She thought she’d take him for a ride
He was made to believe it was love
But she was laughing on the inside

Then she chose her time wisely to
To reveal her true self under the disguise
His heart was broken into a million pieces
But he still sees her with Kaleidoscope eyes

The Warning —A Rock Trio From Mexico.
Three Sisters who learned English from listening to American Classic Rock.
They are very talented and they are very pretty and I love them!!!
They have Three CD’S and a fourth one is being released in June. I used the titles of all four and my favorite song from their second release. I use them in order, this is my way to share my new music passion and love for them. Also included is a Spanish translation of my poem that was done by another fan Please enjoy!!!!
Twenty First Century Blood
Queen Of The ****** Scene
Song from this CD is (Dust To Dust)
Error
Keep Me Fed


          Keep Me Fed

       Hear the warning, hear the warning
It’s so refreshing unlike the recent crud
I was sold from the very beginning
With their Twenty First Century Blood

My life has been reborn and you can
Love or Hate but there’s no in between
As for me I surrender, loving Dust to Dust
From Queen Of The ****** Scene

I am blessed even more and Its been
So long since I’ve received such pleasure
My stereo echoes with music from
The treasure of their latest Error

And it thrills me so very much it’s like
Making love for the first time
It’s hard to explain to the ones who have
No clue, hear their poetry sublime

With another one coming in June
On the cover they’re dressed in red
And I’m so hungry for more, oh
The Warning Keep Me Fed

Mantenme alimentado

     Escucha la advertencia.

Es tan refrescante a diferencia de la basura reciente.
Me vendieron desde el principio.
Con su sangre del siglo XXI

Mi vida ha renacido y tu puedes
Amor u odio pero no hay término medio
En cuanto a mí me entrego, amando a Dust to Dust
De la reina de la escena del asesinato

Estoy aún más bendecido y ha sido
Hace mucho que no recibí tal placer
Mi estéreo resuena con música de
El tesoro de su último Error

Y me emociona tanto que es como
Haciendo el amor por primera vez
Es difícil de explicar a los que tienen
Ni idea, escucha su poesía sublime.

Con otro llegando en junio
En la portada van vestidos de rojo.
Y tengo tanta hambre de más, oh
La advertencia mantenme alimentado

KISS-K-I-S-S
        Definition-(Keep It Simple Stupid)

Whispers in the wind, shadows glistening
Enchanted silo-wets naked together
In a longing embrace on a majestic cloud.
The universe to your beauty
Is why the weeping willow weeps
As the wind blows, hear nature speak.
The epitome of what is meant to be,
A stream in the meadow, a birds song,
A soft butterfly caress, a good witches spell
Never to be broken. Voices carry a love song everlasting with words that linger
All thrown together, never understood
And make no sense but because they are beautiful it seems they were written by a genius. Though I could write them if I tried I Simply just like to leave you with a KISS

KISS TIL I DIE

    I’ve just been destroyed by my father
In my room now with tears in my eyes
My head in my pillows
To muffle my cries

When I was through sobbing
I put the music of KISS on my stereo
It brought me out of my darkness
I keep them in my heart wherever I go

There was something about it
That kept me from suicide
I wear my T-Shirts proudly
My love for them I’ll never hide

No one knows what it’s like
What my past was for me
But I can honestly say that it
No longer exist, I am free

I may write about it as a testimony
To show the darkness I’ve been through
I wear my heart on my sleeve
And on my back and chest too

So you can put me down for
Liking KISS or at least try
You may say they **** but
For me it’s KISS TIL I DIE

Knights Of The Dammed

    Twelve were sent out of the Kingdom
On a quest to slay the last Dragon
They’re journey has just begun
As forces of evil make the sky blacken

In the wilderness they encounter pale
Hairless large creatures of the Devil’s spawn
So many in number that they could
Fill the vast prairie of Saskatchewan

The battle was long and exhausting
But the lives lost were surprisingly only four
They had to continue on with only
Eight remaining as the core

The next few days were uneventful
And they all got a great needed rest
But little did they know that they were to
face another challenge before the final test

As the Sun was setting on the fifth day
Dusk  revealed colors of purple and red
They also quickly noticed that they
We’re surrounded by the walking dead

Five more lost their lives and now
They must face the Dragon with only three
They were now at the edge of a desert
As they prayed beneath a Joshua tree

The Dragon came with nowhere to hide
They fought with heart and soul
And two survived as the Dragon was slayed
They were worthy of the extol

They arrived back to the kingdom victorious
Every challenge they were able to withstand
A new Army would be formed, trained by
The legendary Knights of the dammed

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

Kryptonite

       I thought that I was invincible
Breaking hearts without caution or yield
But I wasn’t going to fall in love, no
Not with my love deflection shield

Every time I felt myself fallen, I’d search
The depths of love so profound
I’d put the brakes on and skid to a stop
And I’d just turn myself around

But as fate would have it somehow, like
With fall the color of the leaves change
The law of averages would take love
And put it on center stage

Every time you would come near
I found it difficult to see and speak
I’d feel my stomach turning and I’d
Lose my strength and my knees got weak

That’s when I knew what it was like to
Be Superman with his Super Human Might
And I realized that I didn’t stand a chance
Because I knew you were my Kryptonite

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!!!

Land Of The Blind

   Like illusionist on the big stage
They use lights and things to distract
As they make all the rules and take all
The money and stab us in the back

People are losing jobs as they are
Sure to receive their check
They say that they care about us
But they really don’t give a heck

They tell the media what to report
And we hang on every word
This is hanging on the edge of insanity
This is really getting absurd

A free nation in where we live
But we must be inside by ten
Someone please tell me what I’m missing
The line is getting thin

We must wear mask and we cannot go
To Church or gather in a group
Next thing you know they’ll be
Telling where and when we can ****

The whole ironic part about it is
No one at the top needs to be a mastermind
Because we’re all just like sheep
And living in the land of the blind

Last Sun Rise

   The chaos has only just begun
The innocence of yesterday is lost
There’s no turning back the hands of time
The world is slowly being degaussed

The fire of Hell is rising from below
And coming through the surface cracks
Time is running out on humanity, God and
The Devil take all, browns, whites and blacks

There’s just a decision, a simple choice
Standing between you and Heaven or Hell
There’s no real pressure for you to decide
The end is near it’s no bombshell

Yesterday is gone, so live for today
But we all know Tomorrow may never come
I ask you are you willing to take the chance
Are you just completely numb

What path will you be on, when the time
Comes and no one hears your cries
Where will you find yourself at the
Time of your Last Sun Rise

Lately

   Lately I've come to a new
Kind of an understanding
I've noticed my universe
Is progressively expanding

Lately there's a change in
What my eyes are seeing
And there's a feeling my
Soul has been receiving

Lately life seems to be Something
that's worth living
I've got a heart that has
Love that's worth giving

Lately there's a voice my ears
Have been tuned to hear
And suddenly it seems
To be all to clear

Lately I've seen a new light
Shining brighter every day
And my darkness feels
A million miles away

Lately there's a message
Powerful but sedately
And the man that I am
Has changed as of lately

Legend Of The Black Swan

     The oath was taken and there’s
No turning back now at all
You’re a part of an elite brotherhood
Sworn to answer the call

You’re the best they’ve seen in a long time
A ****** who’s shot is sure and true
Your reputation is growing with each ****
The best of the best, there’s only been a few

This is who you are, you’ve joined the dark side the oath taken under the black rose
You’ve mastered every trick, to perfection
Allowing for wind and the use of shadows

Though this isn’t the life you’ve dreamed
It’s the life that you were born into
And it doesn’t matter how much you wish
It could change, there’s nothing you can do

So you tell yourself lies to make yourself
Feel better after each assassin
You tell yourself that you will still
Join the Angels like a Saxon

After countless murders, in the distance
You hear the toll of your own bell
You’ll spend your eternity in the
Deepest fiery debts of hell

Yes this is your destiny and long
After your extinction like the Mastodon
Your legacy is that of the Angel of death
Known as the legend of the Black Swan

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

Happy Birthday Jesus ❤️❤️❤️

Let Me Be Your Light

     I can see you when you put
Your head in your hands
And I know of your anger when
You feel that no one understands

I watch you as you struggle
Trying to get by on your own
And I know that even surrounded
By people you still feel all alone

You’ve never needed anyone
You’ve made it this far
You’ve showed everyone just
Just who the heck you are

But you’ve spread yourself so thin
And your world is falling down
And your reaching out to anyone
But there’s no one around

I know you so well because I’m Jesus
I can help you in your plight
Just give yourself to me and
Let me be your light

Let The Old Man In

      I was born into poverty
Just another worthless soul
Abused physically and mentally
But I began to listen to Rock & Roll

Somewhere along the way, I was able
To grow a tougher skin
With every grain of salt sprinkled into
The wounds, I developed a stronger chin

On my own off and on at age thirteen
And completely at eighteen years of age
I left home and never looked back, and for
The story to continue I had to turn the page

I had a young care free attitude and
Over the years I have kept it in my Heart
Never wanted to accept aging or let my
Youth slip Away and become an old ****

And now even at age Sixty Two I still feel
The Rock & Roll kid deep within
And each day though the struggle gets harder I still refuse to Let The Old Man In

I found out yesterday that my KISS buddy
Paul, Passed away yesterday and this morning
My wife had a stroke 🙏🏼 Please

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

Life Things

    We think my mother in law’s husband was murdered
By his daughter for money,
$64,000 total. We also think she had Mom erased from his history and we don’t know why she would do that. The legal stuff
All the papers from the Lawyers office
Don’t even have mom listed as his wife
and only list her with her maiden name.
No mention of her in the will and nothing left to her. He was a Christian man who loved her dearly and he would have never done anything like this to her, I know that for a fact. The daughter portrays herself to be an Angel but she’s the Devil.
and now my mother in law is in a nursing home in Hospice Comfort Care.
She’s dying without her husband and with
No life insurance money to help pay for her own funeral. My Mother in law is also her mother in law, how could someone be so cruel?

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

Like Dracula


   Take a look inside your heart, search
For any speck of love that remains
You can take the hate and throw it away
and break away from your chains

Somewhere there’s got to be
Something there to remind you
Of a heart and soul that you left
Somewhere far behind you

The damage and suffering came to
You on your journey through life
But the damage and suffering doesn’t
Have to be a continued strife

Know this deep down in your heart
The darkness fears the power of the light
So it’s time to rise up to the challenge and
Find the strength from inside to fight

We have the freedom to choose
We can Love or we can Hate
We have the power and it begins with
Each one of us, I pray it’s not too late  

We can’t be separated by minor differences like the black widow and the tarantula
We’re all humans and a spider is a spider
Know the dark fears the light like Dracula

Like Leaves Turn To The Rain

     Life takes us on a journey
Like being on a run away train
There’s things that happen along
The way that we just can’t explain

So trying to put this into words would be
Like crossing into unfamiliar terrain
When I think of all the scenarios
It’s something that boggles my brain

We can’t see the future and write it
Down like Nostradamus in a quatrain
And when it comes to knowledge or the
Science it’s really not my Domain

So when it comes to our love, what
Description can I use to make it pertain
To take something of complications
And make it simple or plain

It comes down to just another one of God’s
Miracles like blood runs through a vein
And it comes to me so easily and natural
Like leaves turn to the rain

Lingering Lyrics

   As another dawn approaches
And the Sun kisses the sky
Nature is waking up and in lingering lyrics
In my head I hear a dog and a butterfly

When I was younger music was everything
Now when I listen, it takes me back in time
I still love listening and I savor all the
Songs of remembered rhyme

There’s too many to mention here and
I wouldn’t want to favor one over another
But I’m sure you know the ones I’m
Talking about like Sylvia’s Mother

The songs you don’t have to hear
But in your mind they’re as clear as day
Like American pie and who’ll stop the
Rain and let’s not forget Maggie May

Oh I could go on and on listing them
Especially if I mentioned songs by KISS
But this isn’t about that and besides
There’s still so many songs that I’d miss

And even if they were political like
Ohio and they remind us of violence
They are still songs we’ll never forget
Songs with substance like Sound of Silence

And as always there’s Hotel California
And I know our opinions will always vary
We all have songs we choose for our best
For some it’s Manic Monday or Voice’s carry

And believe it or not I like them too so let
Those speakers crackle with atmospherics
And crank up the music and enjoy all
Of those songs with Lingering Lyrics

Little Lies

     I really don’t know, I guess pathetic
Is the only word that comes to mind
Yet you knowingly still tell your lies
When the truth isn’t hard to find

I’m not a wise man by any means
But it doesn’t take much to realize
You’d never be a good actor because
You can’t even fake a poor disguise

I can see the evil Aurora that surrounds
You as it invades attempting to Demonize
And as you utter your words, I can see
The fluctuation in your eyes

I don’t know who you’re trying to impress
But none of us were born yesterday
So just some information I give for free
No one believes anything you say

Only God can save you, I can only pray
But as long as you believe you
You’ll be lost in your own whirlwind
Never knowing what is really true

Under your feet, you’re slowly losing
Any solid ground upon which you stand
There’s nothing but fire below
I’m just trying to help you understand

So if you wish to turn it around
Then quickly a plan you must devise
Because I can tell ya all roads to Hell
Begin with just telling Little Lies

Live, Love, Forgive And Pray

      Sometimes I feel like a ship in the
Middle of a storm trying to stay a float
I fight back my tears with everything
I’ve got but there’s that lump in the throat

I wish I could be just like a river and
I could take the path of least resistance
But the heart inside of me refuses to
Yield and continues in its persistence

When the rain comes the river rises
And the gentle flow begins to rage
When times get tough in life if our story
Is to continue we must turn the page

Life is a journey and we never know what’s
Over the next hill or around the next bend
When the rest of the world lets us down
We know Jesus can be our only friend

This life is too short for our troubles and
Our past and tomorrow can be a better day
If we all take a deep breath and learn
To Live, Love, Forgive And Pray

Living In A World New

   Once not long ago, the birds use to
Sing in the trees outside my window
But where are they now
I’d give my life to know

Once not long ago, the Sun use to shine
Life was as beautiful as a rainbow
But where is it now, its warmth
And its light it refuses to show

Now the sky is grey and heavy with rain
The leaves whither and fall
My days are filled with darkness
And life doesn’t feel worth living at all

Even the Stars refuse to sparkle
And the Moon has lost its glow
Old man river is dry and his
Water is stagnant without flow

Once not long ago, you were mine
And I thought our love was true
But now you’re gone and I’m alone in
Darkness, living in a world new

Living In The Horror

   Life we took for granted
The Sun will rise tomorrow
But now the cloud of darkness has
The world in the threshold of its sorrow

Even the addicted, with so many
Attempts of suicide they try
Are clinging to life because they
Really don’t want to die

It feels like we should all paint with
The lambs blood above our door
So that the death cloud passes over
And swear to sin no more

For now we face a real pandemic
And life seems to be an uncertainty
And we are a world facing a new
Challenge and a new reality

It is now we must all realize, precious
Yes life is and we must hold on
And instead of taking learn to give
For a day soon we may be gone

As the world is playing out a most
Enormous powerful scene
The scariest one ever anyone has
Witnessed upon its screen

For it seems there is no end to this
Coronavirus as it continues to devourer
And we will all play our parts
As we are living in the horror

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

Looking For Bigfoot In All The Wrong Places

   I’ve looked under the bed
And I’ve looked in the closet too
I’ve searched in the man cave
And even in the Loo

I’ve checked the state house
And I’ve looked at the town hall
I’ve been to the bowling alley
And even the food court at the Mall

But there’s no signs of him anywhere
He’s an illusive creature to say the least
And I’m not really sure that I’m
Prepared to meet such a big hairy beast

But people swear they’ve seen him
Someone said he was down by the Lake
But when the witness was questioned
It turns out he was drunk and his story a fake

I’ll keep searching for him among
The strange and familiar faces
But I’m beginning to think that I’m
Looking for Bigfoot in all the wrong places

Lost

   Lost in the world of the shadow
Lost in a place without a rainbow
Lost where darkness is as dark as it seems
Lost in a world without dreams

Lost even in a large crowd
Lost and just wanting to cry out loud
Lost in your own prison with no escape
Lost in an unfamiliar landscape

Lost with a feeling of no way out
Lost with an overwhelming sense of doubt
Lost in a never ending Labyrinth maze
Lost in a psychedelic purple haze

Lost In hopelessness and a different reality
Lost and hearing the wale of the banshee
Lost in a depression so very deep
Lost in no inspiration and no sleep

Lost with nothing left to give
Lost hold on to a reason to live
Lost, if so find yourself at all cost
Lost, you never wanna be lost

Love Is A Villain

    When I was a young man
Love was a scary thing
I listened to the rock stars
And the lyrics they would sing

So I would heed the warning
Whenever love had me in its sights
KISS Love is a slap in the face, Nazareth
Love hurts,Def Leppard, Love bites

So needless to say, when it came to love
My heart rejected made me a skeptic
I always felt that love was a fairytale
Love was something synthetic

But against everything, I trusted love
I feel for you hard and fast
I told myself that this time I
Found a true love, one that will last

In my heart I truly felt love and I thought
You were the one in a million
But you were what they warned and
Proved that love is a Villain

Love Prevail

   Well now that the work day is done
I’m looking out my window at the setting sun
As it marks the end of another day
I close my eyes and begin to pray

Lord the world is spinning out of control
Let your love heal every soul
So that we may erase this hate
To start a new life with a clean slate

We’ve got to find a way to come together
Like the birds of a feather
We cannot continue to fight
Let us find a way to unite

There’s always room for love to be found
We all share a common ground
Knowing that life is so minutely temporary
We still get lost in the ancillary

As the Devil has us in division
Open our eyes to see with new vision
Destroy forever the Devil and his domain
And let peace and love forever reign

As I continue to look out my window
Lord please remove this great shadow
Help us fight evil so we may not fail
Once and for all let love prevail
