You Don't Know What Love Is

 

You Don't Know What Love Is

You don't know what pain is

Till your heart's been sliced in two

You don't know what tears are

Till it's turned your brown eyes blue

You don't know how rain stings

Till it's rained inside your heart

You don't know how wholeness feels

Till your soul's been ripped apart.

You don't know, will never know

How my love cries out to you

You, who left me easily

And never loved me true.

You don't know the sunshine

For you never liked the day

You only liked the midnight

When your love came out to play

Look at me. Look at me, boy!

See the heartbreak in my eyes

See the longings I still have for you

Though you only gave me lies

If I could hear just one sweet word

It would mend my heart, I think

But our love was like the Titanic

Doomed, destined to sink

You look at me and wink your eye

Like it's all a silly game

You say you miss me and mentally thumb

Your little book for my number and name

"Oh, sweet girl!" you say and give me a whirl

In the rain on the street by the tree

Where our lips first touched and I loved you so much

When you carved that big heart there for me

And I think of the day when like school children at play

We yelled "She's my love and I am just his!"!

But to a scoundrel you turned and my heart crashed and burned

Realizing that you don't.... know what love is.

That Night In Hot Springs In The Rain (a true story told in prose form)

Gentle rain sounds

Play both at same time. Adjust volume to taste

That Night In Hot Springs In The Rain

I had to get away

And get away I did

Drove to Hot Springs and got a hotel

Ordered some pizza

And tried to watch some tv.

But I was bored

So very bored

And it was raining a sweet Spring rain

Yeah, rain has always

Made my blood run hotter

And my feet want to get loose and dance.

I got all dolled up

In a black jumpsuit of spandex

Curled my long hair

Put on perfume

And silver.

Drove the streets of that town

Looking for a place that was alive

With music and men

Some place or cool scene

To let off some steam.

The high end clubs

All seemed too dull

Though I was dressed "high end"

But there was nothing in any of them

That made me want to stay.

I was about to give up on the whole idea

When something shiny caught my eye

I pulled over into the parking lot

And surveyed the neon lights

As the rain fell gently 

 And Phil Collins sang "my song."

It was a biker bar!

(You know the kind)

The kind you see in movies

With Hondas and Harleys parked all around

And men all dressed in black leathers.

I was terrified

But so enthralled

For I'd never darkened that kind of door

But I was bored and feeling dare devil-ish

And my body was starved for dancing.

I checked the rear view and tousled my hair

As "Hold On My Heart" played on repeat

(You know sometimes when you get obsessed

And you just wanna hear that song?)

Well, hold that image in your mind....

I walked in like it was a movie premiere

And the crowd held it's collective breath

No exaggeration, I kid you not

(But I was scared too death!)

Yeah, me, the girl you think you know.....

I was scared too death!

But I made my way through

The whistles and smoke

And found a place to sit down

Looked around to see if I was the only female

And I was but for some Motorcycle Mamas..

Then the beers started coming

(And I do not drink beer)

And the boys started swaggering

And making boy noise

But I didn't look up and meet anyone's eyes

(Though they all seemed to be willing toys.)

After two or three beers

I was losing my shyness

And feeling my boldness

And losing my blues

And began looking 'round 

For a partner to choose.

And then it hit me:

The wildness

(You know that wildness)

And I tossed back my hair

Oh no, not that!

Oh, yes, I did!

I tossed back my hair

And got to my feet.

Downed the last of that horrible

Horrible beer

And then I kinda lost my mind

Grabbed me a startled cute guy by the collar

As Def Leppard started screaming out "Sugar."

 "Come here, boy, let's dance." I said

And all eyes glued to us

(Well,  mostly on me but.... you know, you know 😉)

The cute guy ate it up, grinning like crazy

And didn't put up much of a fuss.

To be continued....................(maybe)

Take It Like A Man

 

Take It Like a Man

lyrics

Boy meets girl it's a delicate thing

So much time spent wondering

If what you see is what you get

I keep looking for a friend and a lover

When I find one he ain't the other

Sometimes, I just want to quit

One wants a maid one needs his mother

They either want space or they want to smother me

And my poor heart needs somebody who

Can take it like a man, steady and strong

Not a lot of fuss and carrying on

True to a promise I can ride in a storm

Take it like a man who knows about love

And every little thing that a girl dreams of

Someone wise enough to understand

If you want this woman's heart

Take it like a man

I met somebody the other night

Started thinking he was Mr. Right

Wrong, I might have never known

If a friend hadn't brought it to my attention

He's got a wife he forgot to mention

Girl, leave that fool alone

I keep hoping and telling myself

Somewhere there's one good one left

'Cause my poor heart needs somebody who

Can take it like a man, steady and strong

Not a lot of fuss and carrying on

True to a promise I can ride in a storm

Take it like a man who knows about love

And every little thing that a girl dreams of

Someone wise enough to understand

If you want this woman's heart

Take it like a man

Can take it like a man, steady and strong

Not a lot of fuss and carrying on

True to a promise I can ride in a storm

Take it like a man who knows about love

And every little thing that a girl dreams of

Someone wise enough to understand

If you want this woman's heart

Take it like a man

Take it like a man

Well honey if you want my heart you gotta

Take it like a man

Take it like a man

Marching For You

Someday We'll All Be Free

 by Donnie Hathaway

Marching For You

We marched because we had to, son
We were tired of dying slow
Burned and beaten with whips of hate
For reasons we didn't know.

Tired of standing in the back of life
Awaiting the freedom of death
Tired of bowing with downcast eyes
And holding our angry breath.

We were tired of living like cattle
Sold in the markets of men
Cursed with a curse, (not mankind) something worse
When existing was our only sin.

We were tired of working for nothing
Owning no thing but our souls
Watching our labor make other men rich
As they reached, (on our backs) for their goals.

Son, we only wanted what was rightfully ours
A family, a home and some land
To be treated fairly and given respect
Like any other color of man.

We marched because we had to
Through this country we call home
(A million miles from the place we were born)
But to which we will ever belong.

In Selma and in Memphis
In Atlanta, Little Rock
Downtown D.C. and Kentucky
And they could not make us stop.

Many died and many cried
As we marched our way through hell
And what our pain has helped us gain
Only God can tell.

Injustice hides it's face from those
Who dare to shine the light
We marched to show our dignity
And to change our wrongs to rights.

We marched because we had to, son
We were tired of hearing "no"
We fought for the freedom that you're taking for granted
In ways that you never will know.

So, don't scorn these tired and graying heads 
We're feeble and old, that's true
But as you dance down the street to this new century beat
Know this, son, we were marching for you.

The Secret That Was No Secret

 

The Secret That Was No Secret

Lying here with you

I wonder if I dare

Tell the secrets of my soul

I wonder should I share......

Lying in the darkness

Of this warm and cozy room

The only light comes from our eyes

And the softly glowing moon

Lying in this tenderness

With our hearts and forms entwined

The taste of love is on our lips

Like a sweet and honeyed wine

Do you want to know a secret?

I finally dare to ask

As I pull away to await response

To my long awaited task

And what is that? you whisper

Barely breathing as you gasp

Wondering if I need to tell

Some misdeed of the past

I let you lay in mystery

And drown in lover's pain

And then I turn to pull you back

Into my arms again

I love you so, I whisper

The words I'd never said to you

And you exhaled your breath and laughed and said

Girl, that I already knew!

Jealous Of You

 

Jealous of You

When the wind touches your cheek,

Blows back your hair,

I get jealous

Jealous because I don't want

Anyone, any thing touching you but me!

When the sun's rays fall on your face

And make your eyes squint

As it turns your skin a sweeter shade of brown

I get jealous

Because I don't want anything in your eyes but me.

Jealousy is torture but exquisite torture

It stings with the pain of a honeybee

But makes you know, indeed,  how much

You want, you crave, you need

That honey that comes with love.

The soil of love's battlefields

Through time immemorial

Have been stained 

With the blood of that jealousy,

Made sacred with the blood of that love.

The heart wants what it wants

And will not settle for less

Will not release until the bands break

And even then, 

Will not let go though the heart has turned to dust.

Some say jealousy is evil

But I say jealousy is pure

For what is love that can be passed around

Through different hands and hearts

And not kept holy and cherished in the heart of the One?

And you are my One

And I am Yours

I want no other lips, no other arms

Kissing me, holding me

Nor kissing you, holding you.

I am jealous and I make no bones about it

Neither do I apologize or make excuse

For what is love that does not care who touches it, soils it

When once it lay like a precious pearl

On a bed of priceless gold?

That is my love for you:  A precious pearl

And I will not give you up or let you go

I will not share you with strangers who do not know your worth

I will not stop wanting you, needing you, loving you 

Even if you walk away from me.

WARM ME

Start song before reading

warm me


warm me, my love, i am so cold.........
i can't feel these fingers tracing the frozen tears
falling from my eyes
flowing down my cheeks onto your heart.

warm me, my love, i long for flame
red like passion, hot like fire, strong like wine
melt me like the glacier that i am, i was, i am.....
i no longer want to be.

warm me, my love, with the glance of your eyes
the touch of your hand, the breath of your mouth
so cold.....so cold....
so cold......as you were, too.

in the waiting of the wanting of the needing, 
of the void that grasps the loveless.... 
and pulls us down into it's depths
to lie frozen in the silence of a darkened sky.

warm me, my love, burn me as i burn you
coming to life now in this desperation of desire
this heat that flickered low but never died
never died. never died. never died......

but lives now in this newest of days and nights 
and dreams
warming......warming......blazing now with love
your touch is like fire, your love is like a potion
i drink......i feel.....i love....i burn....i melt


the glacier gone forever.
