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.

Poodle Dancing To James Brown

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.....

Inside The Bud

Inside The Bud

Inside the bud, the bloom

Inside the bloom, the scent

Inside the scent, the memory

Of all that you have meant.

Inside my mind, the pictures

Inside my heart, the joy

Inside the pictures, the progression

Of the true man from the boy.

Inside the boy, the lover

Who longed to be set free

To be loved and be loving

And who now lives to love me.

upon seeing this rose

I Play For You A Violin

I Play for you a Violin

I play for you a violin

And song so soft and sweet

I keep my eyes downcast, demure

As I sit at your feet.

I play for hours at your request

Till time has lost it's meaning

And candles burn down to their wicks

And night is slowly weaning.

Before the dawn has fully come

You hold your hand up high

And bid me stop my melody

Arise and say goodbye.

You do not look back at my face

Tearstung and raised to light

You do not see the love I bear

As you pass from my sight.

A servant girl, that's all I am

With gifted hands to play

Sweet melodies to comfort you

From torments of your day.

A king of royal dynasty

A man of power and yet

You find no peace in power's grasp

No love in life's plan set.

And so I play and so you listen

In silence, just we two

Night after night till daylight breaks

And my heart breaks for you.

You have no inkling of the love

I feel there as I play

Pretending you are mine alone

Till morn takes you away.

To kingly duties, kingly demands

The power of life and death

There in your words, there in your hands

There in your very breath.

All day I wait till midnight comes

For the summon and the call

Your weary face so full of woe

Till at your feet I fall.

And I play for you my violin

Pray peace into the gloom

Wait for your sigh with tear filled eyes

As my love fills up the room.
