Game Of Death
I wrote this 11-25-2010. Thinking some ghosts, ghouls, goblins, headbangers, and hippies may get a kick out of this one! lol Have a happy and safe Halloween, folks! Until then...
Chasing after LOVE
Love is worth chasing after...
I’m happiest when…
Some thoughts came to me when I asked myself..."When am I happiest?" When are you?
I HAVE A FRIEND (an original poem from a book of Inspiration that I published in 2016)
Some friendships are very valuable (for at least one of the parties involved),so when things go awry there may be a separation that causes distress.
My Sweetie Pie.
My sister and ex-sister-in-law often say that my dog, Sweetie Pie, behaves much like a real person. They describe as being “a whole human”. She amazes us.
SHE
An ode to my Mother.
Weeding In The Garden
The lovely task of pulling weeds and just enjoying solitude. Nobody will bother you or try and take your job away. It is blessedly peaceful and mindfulness all wrapped in one.
Fear vs Faith
Faith is the victory....
BETTER BELLY BUSS, THAN GOOD FOOD WAS’E
A Trini’s 'over-used' excuse for gluttony. (lol!)
Be careful of what you ask for...
God's own Will for us always supersedes what we want for ourselves, so we need to be mindful of that when we ask, and wait, for His response.??
Truth v Lies. (Yankee Challenge)
Thanks for the challenge Yankee.
Kill
I wrote this one 3-7-2022. There are many ways to describe this song from my travels to today's stance in Europe, but I'll step back and let you contemplate the meaning!
Burnout
A parody of Wipeout by the Fat Boys who did a parody of Wipeout by the Beach Boys.
Vlad To The Bone
Parody of George Thorogoood's Bad To The Bone. I saw protesters last weekend supporting Ukraine, and I stand with them.
A little tune
humming up a tune
The Clouds
I wrote this one 12-28-2021. I wrote and rewrote this in a few different ways just because I liked the stanza part (And now we're here, Dig...) Allow yourself to perceive what the song means on your own accord of thought.
THE SECOND THOUGHT
What is more boring than dying? It’s a terrible waste of time: lying there twiddling my eyebrows or dreaming up words that might rhyme. Why don’t I chant a ‘te deum’ or swear repenting remorse or scream for succour or sanctum or plead for
Farewell to the Wind
Playing with new lyrics
The Magic Man
This one I wrote 12-20-2021. I'm hoping this to be a good sign, for I really haven't written anything "wild, metal, hard and heavy" in quite a while! Who knows, I may play on stage once more? lol For the sad song lovers, fear not. I have many of those I'll sling on here next year (with some metal, too)! Let your hair down and enjoy the holidays! Merry Christmas!!
Rock-n-Roll Star
I wrote this one 4-19-2011. I play, write, look, and fit the part as one! lol
Hallelujah
humming Leonard Cohen's tune I penned some lines
Wild, Wild, Waterfalls
Gentlemen, this is how to write lyrics to woo the ladies, take good notes :), I'm off to find my guitar..
Softly
more lyrics
five to one
chances are
I never knew
lyrics of a song I wrote
GRIEF
A song from the heart Of Allwyn Marcher, ( My alter ego in an Game of D&D), on the subject of grief For any Interested below the song I have posted it again but the way other players would have seen it Verse by Verse in game, Every thing in (* *) are to emote the song he sings It's hard too convey feeling in a game when all *spoken* interaction between players is expressed in text. In the real world I know this is not fantastically good But Allwyn was an amazing bard , His performance score was 62 But In games terms the performance of song brought a whole town to tears Context He sang this song over his family's Graves. They were massacred in a Massive Orc and giant Uprising. A fantasy world is not all "they lived happily ever after" you know
Money
I bought my first tickets to a Brewers game and spent about three hours trying to figure it out, cash is way, way easier!
Singing Out The Truth
This was a response by Allwyn Marcher, (my D&D bard), to having assassins set upon his trail to try and make him either shut up or die.
Neighbors (part 1)
This song (poem) I wrote 1-18-11 should be easy to understand. It's about my neighbor and politics at that time and place; but, a few changes in my writing to fit into today. I once had a neighbor who claimed he was abducted by aliens and the way he spoke sounded actually just like Carl from Sling Blade. At that time Obama was president. This song is comedy.
War And Peace
I wrote this one 1-18-11. It consists of story, myth, to reality; or, just a song depending on how you look at it.
Ball Game
I wrote this parody of Take Me Out To The Ballgame last year when the corona virus was shutting down all sports. I remember seeing the Minnesota Twins play on TV in a bar in Minnesota and seeing cardboard cutouts of people in the stands.
Laughter Of The Wizard
I wrote this one 10-17-94, just barely over two months after I "turned on, tuned in, and dropped out" and went to Woodstock '94! lol Putting this in here, I thought it might put a little change of climate into some readers minds. Something wild and out of the ordinary, perhaps?
WI Dells
I've been going to WI Dells since 1985 when my friend Todd and his mom and dad took me to Family Land(now Mt Olympus, Noah's Ark(Waterpark), and Tommy Bartlett's Robot World, which are still there.
Scar on my skin
my wrists shackled to her feet Laughing at my will breaking a wretch in black lipstick has me without bones I'm crawling she stakes her nails in me scratching my back blood drains free venom seeps in and I'm shaking I sit at my alter she is
I’m stuck in Medford (Oregon)
This is a song that I wrote when I was dating the Scorpio Chiropractor. I'm still trying to get a melody on it - when that doesn't come, it tends to be the absolute most difficult part of the song writing process for me. Wish I played an instrument, I am certain that would help.
Vacation to Maine
I have managed to keep myself busy, but next time I'm flying, the road traffic was too much.
Dog on a Chain
Hold up in the storm comrades
Why you ghostin?
Jeeze, I forgot about this one. When I compile my list of poems to go into my book for publishing, this will be the starting poem.
Brokenhearted blues
writing me some blues
i intend to give you many bowls
what do you think about this poem? any moral lesson you can comment .
Until we meet again
My love my love My sweetest love I will never say goodbye Sea may rise Sky may fall My love for you Will never die My angel my angel My lying angel All the tears I've cried On all you lied I may not hate As you all i loved Go on go on
Happy Birthday to one who left me
Take me back to first day you said you love me To that wonderful feeling you given to me then Even now you cheated and betrayed that love You still my heart everyday with an aching pain You always knew and how I loved you forever I saw your ey
