Suddenly

 

Suddenly


Floating on memories like clouds

Passing by on a soft southern breeze

I suddenly saw your face in the sky above me


I lay on emerald green grass

With my arms folded behind my head

That was immediately filled with images of you


I thought I had forgotten

I had tried to foget

But there you were as you had always been


And my heart burst

And my tears flowed

And the sky smiled as I fell in love with you again.

If Blues Is A Woman









If Blues Is Woman


Honey, if blues, it is a woman
Well, then, heartache is a man
Can't nobody down here tell me
The devil don't have busy hands.

You see, the boys, they love to preach it
How they love us little girls
Then they love us and they leave us
Where they found us in this world.

Then they sit in bars till daylight
Talkin' how they was done wrong
Chasin' women, chasin' whiskey
Till ever drop o' love is gone.

Now, I've broke a heart or three
Had my share of dirty deals
Didn't love the one that loved me
So I know just how that feels.

But I never meant no evil
Never tried to do no bad
Made acquaintance with tha' lonely
Slept in rooms just full of sad.

Men say blues, it is a woman
Makes  'em hurt long as it can
But I say, if blues, it is a woman
Surely, heartache is a man.

Make Me A Wish

 







   Make Me A Wish


Make me a wish
Sing me a song
Tell me you love me
All the day long.


Tell me my fortune
Make sure it's good
Cook me a banquet
Let love be my food.


Dance me in moonlight
With wine quench my thirst
I'll be your last
Your ever, your first.


Paint my mouth with a sweet smile
That you'll long to kiss
Don't make me wait long
Make me a wish.

Love, Like A Bird

 





Love, Like A Bird


I found some love in a world of lovelessness
It tumbled at my feet like a bird out of a nest
I picked it up and held it in my hand
It spoke to me but I didn't understand.

So I took it home and put it in my room
With lots of sun and space to help it bloom
I tended it and mended it's broken wing
And after many days, I heard it sing.

Never having heard a song of love
I wondered what this unknown thing was made of
And soon the wondrous marvel,  with my aid
Began to find it's strength there as we played.

It hung about my shoulders happily
And sang and kept it's trusting eyes on me
And through the days and nights with stars above
A world of lovelessness, we fell in love.

And love taught me so much I never knew
How to know the false from what was true
How to tell the flatteries from charms
And captivated me within it's arms.

Each day I woke in joy and rose in bliss
Hungry for love's touch and for it's kiss
Tearing down the walls around my heart
I let my fear and loneliness depart.

Who knows what love is truly or can be
A mountain's height or depth of silver sea 
Unbridled passion or a sweet embrace
Love changes form and often times, it's face.

We lived and loved like people ought to live
Giving love like lovers ought to give
No thought had I that it would ever end
That I would lose my lover and my friend.

I danced with it in joy around the room
So unaware of shadow or of gloom
The windows opened wide on that bright day
And when I wasn't looking, my love just flew away.

The Eagle Is In Flight w spoken version





The Eagle Is In Flight


The eagle is in flight, he said
And it made my heart beat so
I wanted to catch him in my arms
And never let him go.

The dream caster from beyond the sea
Is casting out his net
Trying to snare a treasure there
The one he's never met.

He needs her sweet and soothing voice
To whisper in his ears
To placate his need for wanderlust
And calm his waking fears.

The games afoot but what a game!
That only two may play
Dancing in the cosmic realms
That knows not night or day.

But every hour is torturous
And every second, sin
When they can't touch what they need so much
A beginning and an end.

An ending of the longing
A beginning of the joy
As each has sought what can't be bought
Since they've been that girl and boy.

His prayers are filled with her dark eyes
Her eyes are filled with tears
Crying rain down on his soul
So arid now for years.

How do you feel without a touch?
How do you love a ghost?
How do you see with eyes wide shut
What can't be seen by most?

I do not know these answers
I do not understand
I only know I want him so
This wild and wondrous man.

The one I've named The Eagle
This magic man of dust
I dream to meld myself with him
And somehow know I must.

For if  can't, the day will come
As I hunger for his kiss
That all of me will melt away
Like the early morning mist.

And I'll hang there in the midnight
Just a pair of weeping eyes
Spectral form without hands and arms
To hold him when he cries.

The eagle is in flight, he said
I'm soaring or'er the sea
And oh, God, I pray, let this be the day
That he finds his way to me.

Just Another Day

 

Lean On Me

Too Cold To Feel The Fire

 




🔥Too Cold To Feel The Fire🔥


Fire lives in me

It always has........

Even though I love the rain

🔥

But some people only want the rain

And run to it

When fire comes near

🔥

Their hearts are cold

Perpetually cold

Though their facades portray a warmth

🔥

I've never understood that

The attraction of fire to water

The pull of warm to cold

🔥

But that's the way it sometimes goes

In life, in weather,

In love

🔥

Some, maybe most

Crave the heat and the flame

And the passion that blazes

🔥

Some, maybe most

Of the loves of my life

Ran to, then away from my fire

🔥

Their hearts, I thought warm

All too soon turned to ice

Ice, that my heart couldn't melt

🔥

A conundrum is a puzzling word

But apropos of love

For love is this and love is that

🔥

And one would think that love's a liar

For my love burns hot but always falls

For those hearts too cold to feel the fire.

🔥

My Darling Among Them Devils a song

My Darling Among Them Devils....a nutty song written on myspace for a guy

My Darling Among Them Devils


Let's see: Verse 1

Oh, my darling went north one dark cloudy day
To work with the yankees and such
To work in the factory to make us some money
And oh, Lord, I miss him so much.

Verse 2

Now, we've been a living with his momma and daddy
For nigh on about thirteen years
And we dream of having our own little trailer
But he never could find a job here.


Chorus

Oh, darling, my darling among all them devils
Up there in the cold all alone
Don't let them yankees change you, little darling
Work hard and then hurry on home.


Verse 3

Down here in the South, we're so loving and giving
Up there in the North, I've heard tell
That all of them yankees are cold hearted strangers
And most of them came straight from hell.


Verse 4

Your momma has baked you a big ole opossum
Your daddy has brewed you some "shine"
We miss you so much, dear, down here in the holler
Tell them yankee gals you are mine!


Chorus

Oh, darling, my darling among all them devils
Up there in the cold all alone
Don't let them yankees change you, little darling
Work hard and then hurry on home.


spoken sad part:

Oh, darlin', my darlin', among all them devils
A drankin' and livin carefree
Send me your paycheck or you'll find, little darlin
That they aint half as devilish as me.....

A Thousand Words





A Thousand Words


A thousand words
On twenty-five balled up pieces of paper later
I still have no idea how to say
What needs to be said
What should have been said
A hundred heartbreaks ago.

It 's just so hard
To find the words to properly convey
A tender farewell
A loving tone and a gentle goodbye
That will not wound
Someone already walking wounded.

I start and stop
Rewrite a refrain, revise an old rhyme
Throw in some honkey tonk lyrics
Soften it all with some bubblegum pop
And images of violins playing softly in the background.

I don't know why I bother
You would only sneer at the above stanza
It's heavy metal and anarchist beats you love
Punk rock so loud your eardrums bleed
And anything to do with pain. Especially mine.

See how my little hands shake?
I can hardly hold a pencil
I can barely see to write
My eyes are black, my soul is bruised
And I sit here trying not to hurt you.

If I could talk, I wouldn't
For that only makes you mad
Only makes you crazy..er than usual
When you walk through the door
Hell bent for hating and still needing love.

I don't know what happened to you
To make you be this way
To make you into a hollow man
But I've got to find a way to go
Before there's no me left.

I hear your footsteps now
Coming up the stairs
Hear you rehearsing new slurs
That you haven't used yet
Though their cold jagged points
 Have already hit home.

I hide the balls of paper
Underneath the bed
Throw the pencil into a drawer
Brush the tears from my cheeks
And turn up the corners of my mouth into a hideous smile
As you and your pain walk into the room.

A thousand words
Form in my brain
A thousand words stick on my tongue
I look at you and remember how you used to be
Before you let down your guard and took off your mask
You look so alone, so small and alone
But tomorrow, for sure, I'm writing that letter.
