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.

In This Corner
IN THIS CORNER OF MY WORLD
WHERE THINGS ARE QUIET AND DARK
I SIT AND THINK ABOUT MY LIFE
AND WHAT'S LEFT OF MY HEART.
IN THIS CORNER CHERISHED THINGS
COME TO MY MIND ONCE MORE
THE WAY SHE LAUGHED WHILE LOOKING BACK
AS SHE DANCED THROUGH THE DOOR.
IN THIS CORNER LITTLE THINGS
LOOM LARGE AND GIANTS BE
HOVERING IN THE STILL OF NIGHT
TO TRY AND FRIGHTEN ME.
IN THIS CORNER MEMORIES
STILL COME AND GO LIKE BEAMS
AND I RELIVE THE HAPPY TIMES
WHEN MY HEART BURST AT THE SEAMS.
IN THIS CORNER I FIND MYSELF
THE MAN I USED TO BE
THE MAN I WAS AND THAT'S COMING FORTH
THE MAN THAT'S TRULY ME.
IN THIS CORNER I BOW MY HEAD
AND THINK ABOUT THE PAST
THE FUTURE HESITANT ON THE HORIZON
AND THE DREAMS THAT LIVE AND LAST.
IN THIS CORNER MY HEART CAN SMILE
EVEN ON THE DARKEST DAYS
AND I CAN GRASP IN MY TWO HANDS
THE JOYS THAT COME MY WAY.
AND WHEN FROM THIS CORNER I TURN AWAY
TO FACE LIFE AND WORLD ONCE MORE
I'LL LAUGH WITH HER AS SHE LOOKS BACK
AND COMES DANCING THROUGH THE DOOR.

The Story Of The Storm
The Story of the Storm
I hear it now, the thunder roaring
Warning me of rain to come
Warning me of winds to blow
Waiting for you here at home
I hold my breath, anticipating
Waiting for the drops to fall
The first hot hits of lovely lightning
The violent wind to howl it's call
And where are you, my best beloved
In this prologue of gothic weather?
Are your ears tuned in to the thunder
As my heart aches to be together?
You know how I love the thunder
And I've always danced out in rain
Never feared a lightning bolt
For it's a storm that takes my pain
Look, the skies grow darker now
See the clouds scroll back to let
The rain pour down on dry dust as
I run out into the wet
Ah, there it comes, the pouring rain
And here it comes, the wanting you
And there you are, the welcomed home
Into my hungry arms on cue
And the tale is told
And the deed is done
And the end finds it's place
In the sleep of the sun
But what of the epilogue
And what of the end?
When the storm has passed over
And has taken the wind?
Will we lie down in wonder
Or cower in fear
That the storm sought to keep you
From meeting me here?
For the same thing that l love
That I anticipate
Will one day take you from me
And that storm I'll berate
But of this we don't know now
And you will never see
As we lie in the aftermath
Of the storm, you and me.

What Survives of us is Love repost
What Survives Of Us Is Love
When all is said and done
And all is done and dead
It’s not the declarations shouted
Or hard thoughts in the head
It’s not the way we walked
And not the turn we took
It’s not how much we spent on shoes
Or how fashionable we looked
It’s not how long we waited
How strong the stance we stood
How many days we held the fort
Wondering if we could
It’s not the might or money
Our fall or rise above
But when we’re gone, one thing lives on
What survives of us is love.

Sometimes In The Morning
Sometimes In The Morning
Sometimes in the morning
While the sun is still in bed
I lie and watch dream figments play
On the big screen in my head.
Sometimes in the morning
When the day begins to fall
I lie and watch the shadows dance
On the blank spots on the wall.
Sometimes in the morning
When I don't want to rise and shine
I think of you and your sweet smile
And wish that you were mine.
Sometimes in the morning
When the night is slowly dying
I wonder why I love you so
Without my heart even trying.
Sometimes in the morning
I crave your tender touch
And I put my arms around myself
But boy, that don't help much.
Sometimes in the morning
Before the alarm clock starts to scream
I make myself fall back to sleep
To finish my unfinished dream.
Sometimes in the morning
I just lie there till it's gone
And waste the day thinking of you
Till the lonely night comes on.
And nights, they are the hardest
With no one to hold you near
I just lay there till the sun shows up
And wishing you were here.
Some time in the morning
On some day I can't foresee
I'm going to find you and make you come
Stay in this bed with me.
And we can watch the world go by
And the moon and sun above
Will come and go but we won't know
For we'll be lost in love.
Sometimes in the morning
I think that's what I'll do
Cause I'm so tired of lying here
Just dreaming about you.
