Some People Look Better From Behind
Some People
Look Better From Behind
There are some beautiful people
And some gosh-awful ugly ones, too
Some people are just too hard to describe
Like people in the genre with you.
I don't quite know how to say this
I don't want you to think me unkind
But you're in that class, (I don't mean to be crass)
Where you look better to me from behind.
Now, Mama would say that's just mean-ness
And the preacher would warn me of hell
But I've got to say it and I can't delay it
My opinion I simply must tell.
You look better going than coming
When you do those wild, wicked careens
Your face blows my mind and the rest of you's fine
But lordy!!! How you fill out them jeans!!!!

Tumbling Down repost
Letting Go
by Tracey Chattaway
by Tracey Chattaway
song inspired the story
Tumbling Down
Tumbling down
Into the midnight's glow
You taught my body
Things it did not know.
We kissed until our lips
Grew tired and numb
And smiled out loud
And wondered what we'd done.
In blankets warm
And fireplace paradise
We held onto each other
With our eyes.
And fingers clasped
And arms and legs entwined
We drowned in new love's bliss
Like vintage wine.
As winter wind sang softly
Round the trees
We hummed along
Like starving honey bees.
And all the while
The snow piled up outside
And true love found
It had no place to hide.
We laughed and loved
Till night became tomorrow
And joy replaced our long-held-onto
Sorrow.
Tumbling down
In bed of rumpled sheets
We found the hidden void
Where wholeness meets.
And wrapped ourselves
In warmth that thwarts the cold
Two lonely broken hearts
Became one soul.

Vision...In The World Of The Blind
Vision
(In The World Of The Blind)
Peering through the darkness growing
I saw the forms of men
Running in the black winds blowing
Their banners raised for sin
Rounding up the innocents
Rallying the troops
Separating goats and lambs
To isolated groups
Whistleblowers silencing
Preachers preaching truth
Scandalized and smeared with lies
Without an ounce of proof
I saw the evil rising
To rooftops and to sky
Spreading chaos through the land
As the blind embraced the lie
Oceans full of grief and greed
Sweeping out the earth
Bringing death to young and old
That never knew new birth
Bullets flying, children crying
Blood running in the street
While drug cartels, the spawn of hell
Walked by on spotless feet
Politicians shaking hands
Making dirty deals
Bought and paid for in back rooms
From power broker shills
Taking from the average Joe
Taking from the salt
Of earth, those good and godly folk
Whose souls cannot be bought
And in the penthouses of the world
Sipping cold champagne
The idol makers strategize
To give their puppets fame
(It's all about the wealth and gold
It's all about the choice
To let them tell you what to say
While they use your voice)
I saw the wars on paper planned
The calculated death
The skies so full of chemicals
You could hardly draw your breath
Marching to the hospitals
Begging for the drugs
I couldn't tell in that sick hell
The housewives from the thugs
Plans and schemes and shattered dreams
Lay scattered on the ground
While hope went up in ashes
And hopelessness came down
And men in thousand dollar suits
Tore down the nations' borders
And bowed before the entities
From which they take their orders
I saw there in the Spirit's light
The plan of old so clear
I felt the cold breath on my neck
The Devil stood so near
Like ants beneath his feet are men
Disposable, obtuse
He drains their souls, throws them away
When there is no more use
I saw there in the darkness growing
From sea to shining sea
Demon and man work hand in hand
And I know that they saw me
They saw me see the ancient Plan
They saw me grasp their dream
They saw me raise my righteous fist
They saw me and they screamed
And in the darkness a multitude
Of lights blinked on and blazed
The Army of the Lord awakened
And their righteous fists were raised
I saw the enemy scatter then
Like insects in the light
The Devil's plan undone, unwon
As the blind received their sight.

California Studs and Duds (no offense to good guys from there) if there are any....JK
California Studs and Duds
There was a dark cloud over my house
And the sun had been erased
The day you took your pretty mask off
And let me see your face.
The day all the love and all of the trust
You'd been building in me without doubt
Dissolved into reality like the illusion it was
And left me standing there open mouthed..
I should have known, I should have known
Should have seen those red flags flapping
In the breeze of your insincerities
As I fell into your trapping.
Why is it that almost every man I've met
From that California land
Seems to be a narcissist in love with himself
And the mirror in his hand?
Believing his own hype
And legacies of his own making,
Believing he has wisdom and depth
But he's shallow and he's faking.
Is there something in the water out there
That creates these hateful lovers?
Something there that turns real into unreal
When you pull back the covers?
Do all these actors walk around
Playing characters and roles?
Auditioning hearts to play their next victim
As the heart of the last one folds?
I never dreamed upon meeting
These dazzling, daunting creatures
That soon the charm would melt away
And expose such darkened features.
And all the witless, undone wrong
Would be thrown in my face
Stabbed with cold accusing eyes
Then find myself replaced.
I never ever saw it coming
The rug pulled beneath my feet
I stood with shattered mind and with
My heart like shredded wheat.
They hate it when they see you see
Though you've been so sweet and fair
That when their masks are torn away
There's simply nothing there.
Emptiness and hollowness
These California studs........
Are full of that and yet still boast
When they're exposed as duds.
I'm not a cruel and spiteful person
Not a mean bone in my frame
And everyone that knows me well
Speaks highly of my name.
Self lovers play such awful games
They don't know how to love
They only like it you're when down
And they're hovering up above.
Never meet your idols, they say
And that saying I find to be fact
I gave my poor heart to those that I adored
And now, well.... I just want my heart back.
California dude, I've torn down your pedestal
As you're flexing your muscles out there in the sun
Turning and yearning to break another sweet heart
You can turn over now, 'cause baby, you're done.

On The Edge Of Night
I spotted you on the edge of night
Like a waking dream on a morning that will not rise
Your hand waved gently but your eyes held mine with a grip of iron
And across the chasm, our souls touched.
A wolf stood by your side but it whimpered at your word
A raven, nodding with mournful face, cried out a voiceless song
It was a yearning that cannot be spoken
And a darkness that breaks out in sun, and a coming home.
Wonder filled me as I stood dying and rising up again
A rapture and a terror like an ancient thing made new
The moon lay silently about your shoulders
Then fell at your feet, as the shadows passed by, along with my trembling heart.
The chasm beckoned with an unfulfilled hunger
Engulfed me in abandon and a never known joy
And as you watched and waited, in that endless, endless longing
My feet with wings of innocence, found the bridge that was not there.

Like A Breath
Like A Breath
You're like a shadow
No one can see
Nobody knows you're there
No one but me.
You're like a falling star
Falling in dark
Waiting to catch fire
But finding no spark.
You're like a hunger
With no one to bite
Holding to nothing
But still holding tight.
You're like a grapevine
With no fruit on the vine
Needing planting and caring
In a garden like mine.
And I'm like a seer
That walks past you and sees
The heat in your coldness
The warmth in the breeze.
I'm like a doctor
That walks through your hell
Picks up your pieces
Wants you to be well.
And I'm like a lover
That your heart forsakes
A giver with passion
That your heart never takes.
And we pass and we pass
In the dark and the dawn
The shadow and seer
Moving onward and on.
You're a mist and a vapor
Like a soul never been
But to me you're the sweet air
That I long to breathe in.
And I wait for that sunny day
Or that night without sun
When the shadow and seer
Like a breath, become one.

Sudden Kindness from the vault
Sudden Kindness
You spilled the milk! she sharply said
And I, clumsy little bit of a girl that I am
Hung my head and nodded in guilty silence
And that's all there is! she rebuked me further.
Nodding again, I felt a big tear form in my eye
Slide down my face and fall into the small white puddle
I could never do anything right no matter how hard I tried
That much had been established.
Feeling her anger, I sought to run but could not move
My bare feet were frozen to the spot
My tears, falling like rain now and blurring my vision
I did not see her moving towards me.
There, there, she said in a soothing tone
As she took me into her arms and smoothed back my hair
It's alright, it's only milk, it's not gold. We'll go buy more
And I was so surprised by her sudden kindness that I began to weep.
