Trains, planes, stations.
We leave and
We settle in deaf
Stagnated places,
We take off
And fall down
Sleepless nights,
Shaky ash, cigarette light
And our poems
Just like that,
By the way.
But don't be afraid
Of not enough love
In your life.
Just teach me to part
Trains, planes, stations.

If you could read my mind
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
Now tell me what you gonna do
When judgement comes for you
No one to blame
You know I love you, 99
Let me hear you say
Fight the power
Living in a promise land
Our dreams are made of steels
Sundown you better take care
If I find you been creepin round my back stairs!

I was never very sociable.
I never fit in those circles of friends
Where each one tries to show off more than the other,
I never liked being the center of attention.
I like simple things, simple people,
Eternal loves and lifelong friends.

The weather is too hot to go outside
I've watched so much tv my brain is nearly fried
If I could find a cave I would have a cool place to hide
I would like to go somewhere but I hear they started having earthquakes in Alaska
Well it's either climate change or a pole shift
Or maybe the aliens have taken control
With all that's going on I would say psychics don't have a gift
What do they know I just want to go but I hear they're having earthquakes in Alaska
The ac went out on my car so I'm stuck where I'm at and it's not much of a flat
So I'm looking wall to wall and I'll be here for a long while
My eyes are getting very big I hope no one mistakes me for a crocodile
Just forget about a long distance call don't want to hear about earthquakes in Alaska

You're loving
You are kind
You are tenderhearted
You are romantic
And affectionate
You must be faithful
And big hearted
You should be trusting
And a little bit lusting
If you are these and more
Contact what are you waiting for

Tells you what I'm wanting in a woman
Post Comment
She's down there somewhere in the Carolina way
She knows the history of Dixie you know every woman's a mystery
I wonder if she has missed me
Since she's been down there somewhere in the Carolina way
She can cook she can sing
She can make a man feel like a king
She wears a wedding ring
But I only want to know one thing
I wonder if she has missed me
Though it's all still a mystery there's only one thing I can say
Farewell to the lady down there somewhere
In the Carolina way

I'm alone
All alone
In a world that's gone away
The scenes have changed
The names have changed
What was two is a four lane
No more hello's no more goodbye's
And there's nothing left for me to say
Strangers criss cross before my eyes
In a world that's gone away
I sadly walk to find the quiet
When once the quiet use to find me
Now I watch the hours pass the day
All alone in a world that's gone away

I walked blindly in the night
with no hope of seeing spiritual light
Until my beloved appeared with her insight
She called unto me so lovingly
"Come my beloved take my hand walk with me and let me show you your plight
My beloved, you are quite clever in your search for love
Yet, often refuse to see, it all comes from the heavens above
You think you can choose beauty and what may appeal
Yet, refuse to accept that which can heal
You design an ideal image of what may seem real
Yet, true love and beauty is often concealed
You chase after dreams yet, not everything you see flows so gently down the streams
Your search for truth always questioning the proof
It could hit you on the side of your head and still you cry alone in your bed
My beloved I come to you in many beautiful forms I try to reach you that don't follow the norms
In your stubborn denial I still come to you in my usual style
You ask for my guidance and you place false hindrance to your own demise then push away the truth for a song and dance
Yet, its only a matter of time you come crying and whining with your thoughts of me sublime
Such a fool you are like a shooting star I know who you are
Yet, do you know who I am when you are stuck in a jam?
You call unto me with your songs of joy and misery
Asking for meaning to life's mysteries
You cry unto me for all the ills of the world you made in the hope that love will not fade
How many times when convenient you forgot about me but, suddenly remember with life's adversities?
I could send you many in my behalf and offer you a rod or staff
Yet, in your stubborn ways you still walk in a haze
Just remember I am always here for you til the end of days

The fake,
The hollow fake;
The Impostor.
The one-dimensional one;-
Shallow as a wading pool.
The empty vessel.
The one, who puts on another's robes;
But who, underneath, is just a monkey.
The one who wishes,
To turn the freely given;
To a profit.
The one, with no discernible talent;
Will be exposed.
Beware, the anti-plagiarism software;
Beware, the originals, on my USB.
Beware, the original Time and Date Stamps;
Beware, the CS Copyright Warning.
Beware!

For those who cut/copy/paste/print out another's original work, from this site; and claim it as their own.
Advice to other (original) CS poets: copy your work, to your own personal USB

I have just looked at time of viewing stats for my work here; and seen that about 40 of my poems have been "viewed" in the space of ten minutes, which, to put it mildly, is pretty far-fetched. This leads me to suspect, that some mischief is at play here (I may be wrong).

Infestation of Communism Republic shall overcome
anti-liberty the worlds leader won't become
Woke Cancel Culture THE menacing distraction
Soros behind every anti-American faction
Rioters getting bail money raised by Politicians
Liberal's ability to deceive greater than Magicians
Truth is Americans have forever been played
governing for societies betterment a masquerade
History of centuries past fallaciously spun
victim tool indubitably a nefarious one
Open borders isn't compassion it's f*ck legals
where's passion for future victims of illegals
Themselves our corrupt establishment care about
today's Authoritarianism should remove all doubt
Present regimes leadership defines a**-backward
Biden's vilification of Liberty totally awkward
Desire for freedom has become one-sided
on actual REALITY we're greatly divided
'Gaslight' the sinister agenda of Fake News
