Youthful
When I talked to the young, they had no reply, except to say,
We are young, it's you that will die,
I tried to explain life does not work that way, its all fun and games,
until the day, the day that you pay,
And no one does know, from day to day, where life will lead us,
or when we will go,
Youthful thoughtlessness, can never be wrong, it's the same hymn sheet
that was our song,
We knew better, we knew it all, now, most of my friends are long gone!
We are young, it's you that will die,
I tried to explain life does not work that way, its all fun and games,
until the day, the day that you pay,
And no one does know, from day to day, where life will lead us,
or when we will go,
Youthful thoughtlessness, can never be wrong, it's the same hymn sheet
that was our song,
We knew better, we knew it all, now, most of my friends are long gone!

The Movie Has Been Over A long Time
Now that I'm older
I have the script I know the lines
But the movie has been over
For such a long long time
For years you have walked beside another guy
And I have never entered your mind
That's what I get for being shy
Yes the movie has been over a long time
But now I would know my mark
I would know every cue
But I was rehearsing in the dark
All the time I was missing you
Softly the music plays and the credits roll away
My name is nowhere on the screen for anyone to find
And I have only one line left to say
The movie has been over a long time
I have the script I know the lines
But the movie has been over
For such a long long time
For years you have walked beside another guy
And I have never entered your mind
That's what I get for being shy
Yes the movie has been over a long time
But now I would know my mark
I would know every cue
But I was rehearsing in the dark
All the time I was missing you
Softly the music plays and the credits roll away
My name is nowhere on the screen for anyone to find
And I have only one line left to say
The movie has been over a long time

online today!Suicidal Games
One day I grew up,
By my let downs and pain,
How I made it this far?,
I really can't say,-
Married with children,
But, still so alone,
Giving them a place to live,
I'm so far from my home,-
Are there people like me?
Life's not the same,
Daydreaming of a possible past,
Suicidal games,-
Prisoner of thoughts,
Everyone is gone,
Places to go to,
A life of their own,-
Talking to yourself,
This time something answers you back!,
And this time you know,
You've gone off the tracks!,
Are there people like me?,
And what do they play?,
Pour souls like them,
Standing in the rain,-
Suicidal games,----

About this poem:
I wrote this 4-20-2011. This was written within the same time frame of when I wrote What I've Done and Rock n Roll Star, within hours I mean. This is one I played around with "shock rock" but it seemed more laid back and mellow; for it sounded better!
Words Hurt
Better to be slapped with dirt
Memory stained
heart broken
piece of soul taken away
want to forgive
To much pain
Beat me down
spit in my face
Verbally abuse
Up for the game
For the love of my beautiful blessing
Memory stained
heart broken
piece of soul taken away
want to forgive
To much pain
Beat me down
spit in my face
Verbally abuse
Up for the game
For the love of my beautiful blessing

Neither
She said no.
The whys do not matter.
Neither do I.
We are not together.
Neither Shakespeare
nor Schroedinger's Cat
can change her mind.
Neither can I.
She is beautiful.
I am alone.
The whys do not matter.
Neither do I.
We are not together.
Neither Shakespeare
nor Schroedinger's Cat
can change her mind.
Neither can I.
She is beautiful.
I am alone.

The Girl with sad brown eyes
Perhaps you saw me walking on the street with my head hanging down and you wondered why..perhaps you saw ne at my desk at work with my head hanging down and you wondered why..maybe you thought to yourself why such a beautiful lady is always looking down. If you only knew ...the beating last night was because I burnt his dinner...This morning it was because I forgot to iron his shirt. So next time you see me with my head hanging down..don't wonder . Speak to me words of encouargement and life..

About this poem:
This poem is about how domestic violence can go unnoticed.Had You Told Me Yesterday
Had you told me yesterday
I would not be waiting on tomorrows tears
The silence of your precious heart
Is still ringing in my ears
Such a distant goodbye
As you drove down the road
The smoke from your old car
Has left a giant scar as it strangled my soul
Now a man of solid blue
Is what I'll always be
Had you told me yesterday
Now I'll always remember that's when you turned twenty three
Tractor broke down in the garden
Clothesline on the ground after a strong wind
Had you told me yesterday
I would never see you again
I would not be waiting on tomorrows tears
The silence of your precious heart
Is still ringing in my ears
Such a distant goodbye
As you drove down the road
The smoke from your old car
Has left a giant scar as it strangled my soul
Now a man of solid blue
Is what I'll always be
Had you told me yesterday
Now I'll always remember that's when you turned twenty three
Tractor broke down in the garden
Clothesline on the ground after a strong wind
Had you told me yesterday
I would never see you again

Post CommentThe Cowboy
My mind is racing my mind is torn
I lie here waiting for the morning sunlight to be my alarm
The firmness of the ground is a cowboy's bed
I pour another cup of coffee my eyes are still red
It's been a few days since I left that town
Wondering if I will ever settle down
But I must be like the roving wind
My destiny might be around another bend
Riden' and ropen'
Driving cattle to and fro
Drifting and dreaming
As the days keep trying to make me old
Get along little doggie going down the chisholm trail
A cowboy is always lonely he never gets any mail
There's a mighty lot of cattle to drive to and fro
Drifting and dreaming as the days keep trying to make me old
I lie here waiting for the morning sunlight to be my alarm
The firmness of the ground is a cowboy's bed
I pour another cup of coffee my eyes are still red
It's been a few days since I left that town
Wondering if I will ever settle down
But I must be like the roving wind
My destiny might be around another bend
Riden' and ropen'
Driving cattle to and fro
Drifting and dreaming
As the days keep trying to make me old
Get along little doggie going down the chisholm trail
A cowboy is always lonely he never gets any mail
There's a mighty lot of cattle to drive to and fro
Drifting and dreaming as the days keep trying to make me old

Post CommentIt Always Sounded The Same
I don't like the numbness in my brain
I don't like the poverty in my name
Destiny was never here
And I could never tell where
No vibe to guide no wave to ride
No choice but to collide with pain
And the sound that's mine to cry
It always sounded the same
From a poor boy to a poor man
In a poor land where the wind carried me like the sand
And between a rock a hard place is where I got caught
With no luck and nothing to add up pull on the reins and call it naught
After plowing ground I can turn around and see that very little grew
And the only change my hair is less my hair is gray my chances left are few
So write it down write it right write it wrong write a song
Just another dream another chance to sing another day has come and gone
I don't like the poverty in my name
Destiny was never here
And I could never tell where
No vibe to guide no wave to ride
No choice but to collide with pain
And the sound that's mine to cry
It always sounded the same
From a poor boy to a poor man
In a poor land where the wind carried me like the sand
And between a rock a hard place is where I got caught
With no luck and nothing to add up pull on the reins and call it naught
After plowing ground I can turn around and see that very little grew
And the only change my hair is less my hair is gray my chances left are few
So write it down write it right write it wrong write a song
Just another dream another chance to sing another day has come and gone

Post CommentIs Anything Slow Anymore
Is anything slow anymore
A slow day a slow way
A feeling of belonging to a place and time
Now try to rest your mind
In the land of milk and honey
Is there anybody
Somebody who can tell me for sure
Is anything slow anymore
Sunrise sunset fast train fast jet
And the newsman reports the news faster than you can place a bet
That everything is going down the drain
People don't even know your name
Now it's digital preplanned programmed
Life has become just a scam
And here am I
Wondering who I am
We use to live on less
Now we can't live on more
Now time is faster than regret will it ever be like before
Is anything slow anymore
A slow day a slow way
A feeling of belonging to a place and time
Now try to rest your mind
In the land of milk and honey
Is there anybody
Somebody who can tell me for sure
Is anything slow anymore
Sunrise sunset fast train fast jet
And the newsman reports the news faster than you can place a bet
That everything is going down the drain
People don't even know your name
Now it's digital preplanned programmed
Life has become just a scam
And here am I
Wondering who I am
We use to live on less
Now we can't live on more
Now time is faster than regret will it ever be like before
Is anything slow anymore
