Grog Monster
Just a quiet young bloke from out near Hay
With a well respected family name
He didn't drink or smoke never swore or fought
Well at least that's what his parents thought
But that all changed on the day he headed off to school
He became a household name for breaking all the rules
He'll be straight arm drinking blind man thinking
How can I go wrong?
Well he's the best he'll show the rest
He's right where he belongs
Bringing to the table how his old man used to play
It's a job it's a duty to
Let the grog monster off the chain
He's a bit of a legend with all his mates
When he ploughs the tractor right through the gates
And he'll drag the dirtbike through the door
Do some doughnuts on the kitchen floor
He'll be spinning from the clothesline
And fighting mates for fun
The centre of attention when he's wearing all his rum
Now he'll go down in history
As an alcoholic inductee
And we won't forget the stunts his pulled
Or the machinery that he's totalled
But he'll use his skills train them up initiate his peers
The grog monster tradition will then live on for years
Party startin' fire lightin' dancing in the rain
Raise that arm above his head and look out
He's off the chain
Tractor driving, bare-fist fighting, going all the way
Damage and destruction is his game
He's off the chain
He's off the chain
With a well respected family name
He didn't drink or smoke never swore or fought
Well at least that's what his parents thought
But that all changed on the day he headed off to school
He became a household name for breaking all the rules
He'll be straight arm drinking blind man thinking
How can I go wrong?
Well he's the best he'll show the rest
He's right where he belongs
Bringing to the table how his old man used to play
It's a job it's a duty to
Let the grog monster off the chain
He's a bit of a legend with all his mates
When he ploughs the tractor right through the gates
And he'll drag the dirtbike through the door
Do some doughnuts on the kitchen floor
He'll be spinning from the clothesline
And fighting mates for fun
The centre of attention when he's wearing all his rum
Now he'll go down in history
As an alcoholic inductee
And we won't forget the stunts his pulled
Or the machinery that he's totalled
But he'll use his skills train them up initiate his peers
The grog monster tradition will then live on for years
Party startin' fire lightin' dancing in the rain
Raise that arm above his head and look out
He's off the chain
Tractor driving, bare-fist fighting, going all the way
Damage and destruction is his game
He's off the chain
He's off the chain

About this poem:
Just a song for all you country folk, So come on and let your inner grog monster, out!Sun Coming Out
Verse I
The darkness had us in its grip,
For oh, so many years.
We feared to move for we might fall,
The night alone in tears.
Choirus
It's been a cold gray moring so far,
But the sun is coming out now.
We got through the long dark night.
Don't ask I don't know how.
It's been a cold gray moring so far,
But the sun is coming out now.
Verse II
The dawn it came all damp and chill,
But better than the dark.
We looked around with blinking eyes,
A landscape bleak and stark.
Verse III
The black and gray have been replaced,
With warmth and light instead,
And now the sun is shining through,
On better days ahead.
The darkness had us in its grip,
For oh, so many years.
We feared to move for we might fall,
The night alone in tears.
Choirus
It's been a cold gray moring so far,
But the sun is coming out now.
We got through the long dark night.
Don't ask I don't know how.
It's been a cold gray moring so far,
But the sun is coming out now.
Verse II
The dawn it came all damp and chill,
But better than the dark.
We looked around with blinking eyes,
A landscape bleak and stark.
Verse III
The black and gray have been replaced,
With warmth and light instead,
And now the sun is shining through,
On better days ahead.

About this poem:
What it's like to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel...White Liar
Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar
You better be careful what you do
I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes
If they ever found you out
You better be careful what you say
It never really added up any way
I got friends in this town
Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar
You said you went out to a bar
And walked some lady to her car
But your face has more to tell
Cuz my cousin saw you on the street
With a red head named Bernice
Turns out you don't lie too well
Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar
Here's a bombshell just for you
Turns out I've been lying too
Yeah I'm a white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of my tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White Liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why

If they ever found you out
You better be careful what you say

And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why

Here's a bombshell just for you
Turns out I've been lying too
Yeah I'm a white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of my tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White Liar

A Long Haired Angel
A long haired angel,
staring back at me,
she looks so happy she looks so free.
She looks so peaceful
hanging out in that tree,
oh I wish, she was still here with me.
A long haired angel,
her eyes are closed,
I love the way she stood, and the way she posed.
Now that she has,
gone away,
oh I wish, I had the nerve to say.
That long haired angel,
I miss her so.
I wish she did not,
have to go.
Her brain was not
in the right place,
oh I wish, I could just touch her face.
A long haired angel,
is up above,
that is where she thought she belonged.
She took her life
with a rope and a tree,
Now she feels, so nice, nice and free.
That long haired angel,
I miss her so.
I wish she did not,
have to go.
Her brain was not
in the right place,
oh I wish, I could just see her face.

About this poem:
This is a song I made for a girl I knew that comiting suicide.
The company of a gentleman
Occasionally…
I desire the company of a gentleman,
Someone mature and wise.
A man who knows his own worth,
But is also aware of mine.
A man who…
Doesn’t feel the need to pretend he knows it all;
He listens and reflects.
The things we’d share would bring to bear
Our mutual respect.
Kind and content, faithful and true,
These would be some of his traits.
Understanding, strong and brave too,
Would certainly suffice as good gifts.
And what about his company in places of privacy,
When there’s nobody else there but us?
Well, just as a gentleman never kisses and tells,
That’s not something a lady’d discuss.
I desire the company of a gentleman,

About this poem:
I'm seeking the company of a gentleman. Do you qualify? ;-)
Hope
It comes quietly
with the advent of dawn.
It scares away bad thoughts
morning by touch.
Squats in the corner
with a slight smile,
to dance in a moment
with joy of breath.
Looks longingly
into open eyes
grading emotions
giving a will to live.
And laughs sincerely
from a planned plan.
Hope stubborn
hope unknown.
with the advent of dawn.
It scares away bad thoughts
morning by touch.
Squats in the corner
with a slight smile,
to dance in a moment
with joy of breath.
Looks longingly
into open eyes
grading emotions
giving a will to live.
And laughs sincerely
from a planned plan.
Hope stubborn
hope unknown.

The Definition Of Insanity - 06/18/19
I am the definition of insanity
My Love for you keeps throwing me into the flames yet I keep running back into your arms, hoping something has changed ....
Nothing Ever Changes, We continue to run around in this endless circle,
Me: Lost & Confused, Hurting inside, tears on the outside, running down my face
You: Laughing, telling jokes, happy in your love, clueless that I'm in pain, caused by you.... Can't seem to explain....
Here we are, so many years later, so many tears I've cried, so much my heart has been through.... All For You and You have no clue that I've died!!! You swear you love me but Only in words!!! Only in Your words!!!!
How can you say you love me when all I do, upsets you
How can you say you love me and say such mean and hateful Words??? Your Love is insanity.... That is so clear to me..... And Yet...
I've made excuses, so many excuses for the way You've been treating me.... Excuses as to why I return to allow more pain to come from you....
You have broken my Dreams of You, of Us .... You've broken me. I was already broken when you met me, swore you'd fix me..... I was the one trying so hard, dying so hard to fix You...
Insanity, The Definition Of insanity is Me here now, still hurting as I try to keep my distance from you, while finding myself falling for it All, All over again.... Over again
So tired of feeling broken and dead watching you live like nothing has ever happened.... Listening as You Tell me you love me!!!! Swearing I've hurt you just as much as you have me!!!
If that were so true, Why am I always the one with tears in my eyes and scars on my heart..... Tell me.... Why am I the one with tears in my eyes and scars on my heart and you seem to prance around careless and free....
That's what insanity is.... Insanity is this crazy little dance you & I seem to share .... I give you my all and you take everything ..
I Am The Definition Of Insanity!!! Over and over and over again
I am the definition of Insanity...
Insanity is Me.....

Post CommentTAKE MY HAND
Free up your mind and wonder
take your hurt away
when all your head is gone
when you know you don't belong
sentimental journeys all
take my hand and we'll fly away
Lay your head on mine
share the heavy heart
its over now
if i can i'll help you anyhow
turn a frown into a smile
take my hand and we will fly away
Some may even say
to hold a truth in lies
i'll be moving on
love should sing to me a pretty song
all i hear is minor keys
take my hand and we'll fly away
On angels wings we ride
heaven surely hides
keep us from safe from harm
shelter lessons learned that hate derides
i'll let you go so long, goodbye
my only love you can, fly away.
fly away, fly fly away,
fly away fly away……... fly away……….
fly away……….....
fly away
take your hurt away
when all your head is gone
when you know you don't belong

About this poem:
The words to a song i wrote a year ago. Its one of my favourite songs written by me and i always love to play it on piano. Very simple haunting melody with no chorus or bridge but i like it that way so i left it. If anyone wants to hear the musical version with me playing piano let me know."Because I know what love is"
Because I know what love is
I ask nothing in return
Because I know what love is
I ask no evidence
Even if you're not here
Love is here
Now
Even if you have to go
Love to go there
Though
I know it's forever
As long as
I only ask
What I can give
Because I know what love is
I know that every word matters
Because I know what love is
I know that there is only one answer
Without why I bring you here
Love is here
Me
Without why I take so
Love is in me
More living
Because I know what love is
I ask nothing in return
Because I know what love is
I ask no evidence
Even if you're not here
Love is here
Now
Even if you have to go
Love to go there
Though
I know it's forever
As long as
I only ask
What I can give
Because I know what love is
I know that every word matters
Because I know what love is
I know that there is only one answer
Without why I bring you here
Love is here
Me
Without why I take so
Love is in me
More living
Because I know what love is

Dry Land Crop
My jeans are ripped, my boots are dry and muddy
You can tell that I drink beer and not champagne
I'm the kind of girl who likes to keep things simple
I've never longed for fortune of fame
My best friend is my dog, not a diamond
Diamonds don't snuggle up to you when you cry
And I don't like the thought, of being bought
A girl in love is something you can't buy
Yeah, I'm happy just the way things are, boy
There's not much more that I need
A dry land crop doesn't need alot of rain
A shower now and then will get it through
And in a way I am like that barren bit of land
All I need is a rain drop from you
So cancel those dinner reservations
Instead let's take the dogs down to the creek
We'll pack a picnic lunch, we'll lie there in the sun
What a perfect way to end a working week
Yeah, I'm happy just the way things are, boy
There's not much more that I need
A dry land crop doesn't need alot of rain
A shower now and then will get it through
And in a way I am like that barren bit of land
All I need is a rain drop from you
A dry land crop doesn't need alot of rain
A shower now and then will get it through
And in a way I am like that barren bit of land
All I need is a rain drop from you
All I need is a rain drop from you
All I need is a rain drop from you
You can tell that I drink beer and not champagne
I'm the kind of girl who likes to keep things simple
I've never longed for fortune of fame
My best friend is my dog, not a diamond
Diamonds don't snuggle up to you when you cry
And I don't like the thought, of being bought
A girl in love is something you can't buy
Yeah, I'm happy just the way things are, boy
There's not much more that I need
A dry land crop doesn't need alot of rain
A shower now and then will get it through
And in a way I am like that barren bit of land
All I need is a rain drop from you
So cancel those dinner reservations
Instead let's take the dogs down to the creek
We'll pack a picnic lunch, we'll lie there in the sun
What a perfect way to end a working week
Yeah, I'm happy just the way things are, boy
There's not much more that I need
A dry land crop doesn't need alot of rain
A shower now and then will get it through
And in a way I am like that barren bit of land
All I need is a rain drop from you
A dry land crop doesn't need alot of rain
A shower now and then will get it through
And in a way I am like that barren bit of land
All I need is a rain drop from you
All I need is a rain drop from you
All I need is a rain drop from you
