THOUSANDS OF WORDS ARE SPOKEN EACH DAY.
YET TRUE COMMUNICATION IS RARE,
WE SPEAK INADEQUATE WORDS OF POINTLESS CHIT-CHAT
TO COVER UP OUR FEARS.
RARE ARE THE FRIENDS TO WHOM WE CAN SPEAK ,
OF THINGS THAT WE FEEL INSIDE.
BE IT TENDERNESS,LOVE,OR NONSENSE OR JUST OUR FOOLESS PRIDE.
TRUE FRIENDS WON'T BE SHOCKED BY YOUR WEAKNESS.
THEY KNOW YOU ARE LESS THAN A SAINT.
SPEAK OF THINGS THAT TOUCH YOU,
AND DON'T TRY TO BE SOMETHING YOU AIN'T.
YOU MAY FIND YOUR FRIEND HAS BEEN WAITING ,INSERCURE WITH FEET OF CLAY TO FIND SOMEONE TO TALK OF THINGS,
HER HEART HAS TO SAY

Shawnee woman
walks the earth
lost to love
not to worth
good looking woman
getting by
stateside woman
been tossed aside
deck of cards
play the game
win some
loose some
midnight rain
shawnee woman
in the hall
love has seen her
love will call
days of dark cloud
horizons black
good time woman
shes coming back

I am not the nice person
I am not the friendly one
I only try to tell the truth
My word is like a knife
My story is like a thunder
Nothing can make you smile
Nothing can make you happy
It is not about a beautiful lie
It is all about a horrible truth

How is it?
I don't know...
I bear my soul to you and you accept it.
You tell me of your fears, I take them as they are.
I say thing I would never say, the secrets deep within.
No condemnation, no judgement, only understanding.
You reveal the torment, anxiety and pain you could not share,
My heart is cut, I weep with you.
You give me words, advise or thoughts. You never push.
I hug you from afar and see in you what you can not see.
We give, we take, we laugh, we love.
We cry, we curse, we shout, we stare.
That which we can not see, into the dark we stare.
Together.
You push upon me nothing but your care.
I offer up to you only that wich I have.
Never taking what is not ours, Never pushing upon the other.
How is it?
Coincidence? No.
But for a reason.
Two paths that met,
Two friends that bind,
Two hearts that share,
How can it be anything,
but friendship.
This
is what it's meant to be.
Thank you my friend.

Disarm a frown
with a smile
in your eyes
in any language
the world has known
with a smile
in your eyes
you can break a barrier
make a person welcome
smiles are for free
come from you and me
disarm a frown
with a smile

DIFFERENT
IN THE WAY WE LOOK
DIFFERENT
HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
DIFFERENT
IN OUR MAKE UP TOO
DIFFERENCES
CLOSE OR OPEN DOORS
DIFFERENCES
DECIDE OUR PREFERENCES
DIFFERENCES
IN RELATIONSHIPS
DIFFERENCES
HOW ONE VIEWS YOU
UNFAIR LINE
SUCH A THIS
MAKES THE BORDER
MAKE THE CHOICES
ABOUT THOSE
AROUND WHOM WE LIVE
LAY ASIDE YOUR DIFFERENCE
AND PREDJUDICED VIEW
MAYBE THERE IS STARLIGHT
OUT THERE TOO
PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT
ARE PEOPLE JUST THE SAME
ALL THEY ASK IS FRIENDSHP
IN THIS DIFFERENT GAME

it's so true
Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
'Tomorrow' I say! 'I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him.'
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
'Here's a telegram sir,' 'Jim died today.'
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

When the raindrops fall
on the garden of your heart
outside the sun is shining
roads wrongly chosen
memories so frozen
though the catalysts
of summer bring a smile
when memories had style
run far and wide
nothing to hide
talked in the darkness
as planes flew overhead
she loved you as a brother
file with a memory and time
catalyst of past years
yesterday full pockets
coins and currency
lined you so very well
but today empty pockets
is all you have to show
bought up memories
paid in friendship
secured in love
