Last Night With The Girls
WARNER BAXTER Oct 2014
I jump up out of bed ‘cause the alarm clock is ringing
got a song sittin’ on the tip of my tongue, I start singing
I’m staring at myself tryin’ to make my lips turn pink
with the blow dryer in my ear, it gives me time to think
on the cocktail naps, can’t remember what we wrote
last night with the girls drinkin’  *** and diet coke

I smoked my last cigarette with the girls last night
the lyrics came fast from the left and from the right
something ‘bout a dance and dare to take a chance
could this be the one, be that one true romance
it’s only been a day, but I could **** for a smoke
last night with the girls drinkin’ *** and diet coke

(chorus)
in this chameleon color world filled sky high
let the rainbow colors just fly on by - fly on by
even those not usually seen - makes it all feel so pristine
and the ones that bleed and the ones that fade
shine bright in the light and in the shade - in the shade

I fall into bed and set the alarm clock to ring
can’t get to sleep this song on my tongue I sing
I’m staring at the walls lyin’ flat on my back
tossin’ and a turnin’ tryin’ to make it all turn black
can’t remember what we wrote, I wish I had a smoke
last night with the girls drinkin’ *** and diet coke

(chorus)
in this chameleon color world filled sky high
let the rainbow colors just fly on by - fly on by
even those not usually seen - makes it all feel so pristine
and the ones that bleed and the ones that fade
shine bright in the light and in the shade - in the shade
me and the girls got it made in the shade - in the shade

The Solid Gold Heart
WARNER BAXTER Dec 2013
This heart was once steadfast and solid gold, but now it is
empty and solitaire
This heart, even though empty, is still pure and shines as brightly
as it ever has with values unchanged
This heart stays tactile smooth and comfortable to hold
This heart has a shape that remains true and always will, just it's
center has been taken
This heart is hollow now, waiting to be full, to be solid, solid gold
to be The Solid Gold Heart

THIS HEART NEEDS YOUR HELP

This heart, as you can see, has no chain to support it, to carry it
to hold it
This heart could not possibly join with a chain in full complement
to engage your neck
This heart needs to share a chain with other gems, bobbles and trinkets
for now
This heart is for all to see, this heart is for all to know the story of
The Solid Gold Heart
This heart will serve as a reminder of how truly remarkable and wonderful
The Solid Gold Heart is
This Solid Gold Heart belongs to you

Destiny or Dream ?
WARNER BAXTER May 2015
As I turn to see a dark silhouette, I realize it is you.
Your sultry form is illuminated by the moonlight glowing
through the window shrouded by tightly drawn curtains.
I become instantly aroused. Your silken gown clings
to your shapely body, like hot liquid gold dripping
into puddles beneath your bare feet.I approach, slowly,
step by step. Anticipation is heightened. I reach out and
take the thin straps of your gown with a single finger.
First the left, then the right, I hold the straps outward,
with eyes fixed, staring deep into one an others souls,
I let go. Your crimson clothing falls to the floor.
You are covered only by your long beautiful hair cascading
over the curves of your naked body. I take your bare
slender shoulders with both hands. You feel my strength,
but you are not afraid. You feel powerless as a warm
sense of comfort fills the very essence of your being.
With eyes still fixed, we move even closer, so close
I can feel your breath on my mouth. Your tongue
sweeps across my lip and then as sudden as a star
falls from the sky, our lips meet with the power and
the passion of the Genesis of Earth. My hands have
moved to the small of your back pressing our bodies
firmly together. I kiss the side of your neck, you gasp!
As you chase after your breath, I take the lobe of your
ear between my teeth and bite very gently, your
body trembles. I pick you up and carry you across
the room. You seem to be floating, I lay you down
on the bed, a peaceful smile envelopes your face,
as you would see on a child when they feel raindrops
for the first time. My clothes have mysteriously
disappeared. I lay down next to you, then in symphony
we explore each other's bodies completely.We make love
over and over again. The pleasure is overwhelming.
You scream in ecstasy, your fingernails pierce the skin
on my back as you grip and grasp, twist and writhe
and squeeze me tighter and tighter. You scream again,
and again. You have never felt like this before.
Our bodies kinetically charged to the power of a
freight train speeding out of control. We have become
moist to the point of drenched with our hot sweet sweat.
We collapse completely in each other's arms with
exhaustion in total surrender. We awaken at first light,
still in lucid embrace,and say "good morning, I love you."
It is at this very instance we both understand our lives have
meaning and enlightenment. We are under the power of love.
It is destiny.

SNOW CRUST
WARNER BAXTER Jul 2015
simply started with a little smoke
then it grew into the daily ****
now every weekend lines of coke
you’re addicted and it aint no joke


so do your dust if you must
just because of empty lust
around your nose it is a bust
two rings of white snow crust


make a change put a plan in place  
if you don’t you’ll fall from grace
on the floor flat on your face
what a waste such a disgrace

MARRIAGE IS...
WARNER BAXTER Jul 2015
Marriage was intended to make babies
not statements!

Marriage is a covenant before God
not governments!

Marriage is a promise to family and future
not quick investments!

Marriage is sacrifice and hard work
not daily entertainments!

Marriage is a mortgage and college fund
not tax entitlements!

Marriage takes a Father & Mother for a child
not village managements!

Marriage is lived and enjoyed in private
not public amusements!

Marriage is between husband, wife and God
not life partner arrangements!

Capitan Blood Head
WARNER BAXTER May 2015
The Jamaica Jewel's sails are full with skull & bones on high mast,
canons thunder, I pillage & plunder with a trim keel my ship is fast.
My boots and vest are leather black with sword & buckles of gold,
when sunlight reflects, landlubber's quake & their blood runs cold.
I always dress in black except from my hat a plume of vermillion,
A pirate's chest full of treasure and pieces of eight by the million.

Just the sound of my name sends shivers to timbers of all,
I am Capitan Blood Head, on mermaid lips and ports-o-call.
On sand & beach Capitan Blood Head wanted alive or dead,
where rivers become waterfalls posters for bounty is what's read.
So the legend lives on, from Key Largo, San Juan & St. Kitts Cay,
from Trinidad and Tobago to Saint John and Montego Bay.

Don't you dare cross Capitan Blood Head and his Scallywags,
and don't even think about The Capitan's favorite Sea Hags,
or walk the plank to Davy Jones' locker you sank. AGRRR!!!

a family of friends work hard and play

they're a team led by spirit and heart that's true
with 'luv' in their blood red, gold and canyon blue

together they soar noon and night each day
customer service, warmth and pride, that's their way

they come from Texas, up North and way out West
news travels fast when they hear you're the best

now try to remember the ones laid to rest
the likes of Braniff, Midway and America West

from PSA to ****** and even Value Jet
on-board with Southwest is the winning bet

the mission was written for all to share
I commit to it's spirit I promise and swear

thanks for your time and I would be very proud

PAGE OF OBSCURITY
WARNER BAXTER Aug 2015
If I wrote it all down, would you know it?
Could you see what I want you to see?

Would you think me a clown or a Poet?
If the words flowed in tempo from me?

If I showed you my soul would you wear it?
You should know what I'm trying to be

Would you care it was me if you knew it?
If I looked you in the eye would you see me?

If I handed you my heart could you hold it?
You should see it drip into obscurity


(chorus)
drawn on the page of obscurity
gone from age of what was you and me
drowned in the depths of eternity
turn another page of  hostility
drawn from the pages of obscurity



If I sang it out loud, would you hear it?
Could you hear the song inside of me?

Would you think me a fool and deny it?
If the words were a melody of me?

If I shouted out in anger, would you bear it?
You who screams of another’s destiny

Would you share my love or ignore it?
If I gave it to you would you give back to me?

If I took my love away would you know it?
You should feel it fade into obscurity*



(chorus)
drawn on the page of obscurity
gone from age of what was you and me
drowned in the depths of eternity
turn the next page of  impurity
drawn from the pages of obscurity
of obscurity
drawn on the page of obscurity
gone from age of what was you and me
drowned in the depths of eternity
turn the last page of impurity
drawn from the pages of obscurity

Seven Riddles Answered
WARNER BAXTER Jun 2015
even though Brothers and Sisters I have none
that man standing there is my Father's Son
He is my savior, Jesus the man from Galilee
if your faith is strong, He will be easy to see


what is it that gets wetter the more it dries
it could be anything that you see with eyes
evil lies, goodness dies, causing a thousand cries
starry eyed I look to the skies as the angel flies


it goes in dry and it comes out wet
the longer it stands the stronger it gets
water in the cup turns to tea,the bag steeps
hotter the better with sugar by the heaps


what goes up a chimney down
but can't go down a chimney up
can be used as a prop for a clown
or to cover yourself or your pup
raining again, grab the umbrella
this is the day I met my Cinderella


*
Father and a Son on a motor bike accident
the Father is taken to the West end hospital
and the Son is taken to the East end hospital
the doctor there goes to operate on the Son
the doctor says " I can't do it, it's my Son"
the E.R. is full with this, that and the other
The Chief of Staff today is  Dr. Mother



the man that made it, never needed to use it
and the man that used it, has never even seen it
He made a system of raised dots, Louis Braille
so the man who lost his sight could stay on the trail



*
only thing that will constantly go up never to come down
it has never been up in the sky or even under the ground

steadfast and so sublime
just let me sleep so I can dream
of sunsets in my mind

every room she appeared would be instantly lit

She’s more than celebrity She’s a culture icon

Mean Mr. A$$HOLE
WARNER BAXTER May 2015
I am so smart, I can fool myself
but I am too stupid to figure me out.
What's your problem?
If you don’t stand for something,
You will fall for anything.
Now pick yourself up, get a number and wait for your turn.
I think, therefore I am over qualified.
And that’s why you work here.
No, it’s not ignorance nor arrogance
I’m just smarter than you.
Were you born deficient or are you just stupid today?
Do not believe or even read every word that I have written.
Do not believe everything you think.
Remember you are special, just like everyone else.
Remember to take your smart pills.
I can see you had an extra bowl of stupid for breakfast this morning.
Then stop pretending to be stupid, that’s just dumb.
When you leave home, don't forget where you live and
don't forget your pants, again.
Ask me about my ability to annoy anyone any time.
That’s Mr. A$$hole (aays - ol - aye) to you, it’s Esperanto.
And yes, it is part of my charm thanks for asking.
Are we having fun yet?
The daydream is the free thinkers nightmare,
what do you think? never mind
Perjury murdered imagination, without an assault rifle,
or second amendment rights, without mass media
or an internet connection. What's your excuse?
I didn’t say it was your fault, I said, I was going to blame you.
So, how does it feel to be back on the hamster wheel?
C’mon man really?

Lost and Found
WARNER BAXTER May 2015
I once was lost
in the dark, with high cost
unable to see, keeping distance
unwilling to be, holding resistance
upside down  and  turned inside out
nothing  but empty and  full of doubt
fighting with myself,  not  ever  to win
diving deeper and darker, driven to sin

Addicted to shame & overdosed on blame
it’s always the same like a moth to a flame
greed is need always need never to succeed
poison amaranth as my soul dies & I bleed
like a sacrificial  lamb led  to the  slaughter
all my senses stunned to the scent of water
old and wise is just the disguise of wisdom
a promise of  God’s everlasting  Kingdom

Faith is hope and love is grace you realize
evil is hate & fear is the cause to fantasize
into the night out of the dark once more
so much more than there was before
I am the way the truth & the light
born again, life after death
I once was lost now
I am found
the shape is a seed, the beginning of life

I can’t get through the dark side of you
I can’t get through to you


She is the storm that blacks my sky
frozen chest no breath for good bye
can’t think, can’t feel can’t find reason
there is no refuge from her changing season

(chorus)
She is the storm in human form, in human form she is the storm
I can’t get through the dark side of you
I can’t get through to you
She is the storm in human form
I can’t get through the dark side of you
I can’t get through to you*
(repeat chorus)

Insomniac
WARNER BAXTER Jul 2015
counting sheep, to get to sleep,
racing the sunrise

Mr. Sandman, if you can,
sprinkle sand into my eyes

jeepers creepers, open peepers,
wide as deep blue skies

toss and turn, comfort concern,
no dreams or no lies

R.E.M. I wonder when,
even in dark's disguise

insomniac, heart attack,
sleeping would be wise

a wink, a nod, a sigh, a yawn,
still can't close my eyes

hanging on a paneled wall

SNOW CRUST
WARNER BAXTER May 2015
Simply started with a little smoke,
then it grew into the daily ****.
Now every weekend lines of coke,
you’re addicted and it aint no joke.


So do your dust if you must,
just because of empty lust.
Around your nose it is a bust,
two rings of white snow crust.


Make a change put a plan in place,  
if you don’t you’ll fall from grace.
On the floor flat on your face,
what a waste, such a disgrace.
