Birdie
I got a treat of free golf with a golf cart yesterday
It was at a golf course I used to be a member at in 1994 around May
It was hole number 16 that sits about 150 yards from my parking spot
I connected with a six iron and the ball flew up and hot
Sticking on the green about three feet away
Telling myself to sink the putt there would be nothing my head would say
Clear your mind of all the junk
And into the hole the ball went with a plunk
I had golfed this hole about 100 times before
But since it is rare for me to edit my thoughts, the good shots went out the door
So like in life if you can clear your mind of the bad
You can do things that will make you glad
I'm still working on this as I am 52
So I can enjoy my life till it is through

About this poem:
One of my favorite golf shots happened long ago with my brother. It was a par 3, first shot off tee went into a bunker, second shot stayed in the bunker, third shot rolled onto the green and into the hole, a par.
Salute to Harry
You catch the smell of trouble
like a festering stew
and a good cop knows
the way Harry Callahan knew
that when the low-life breed
there's only one recourse
polish that badge
and apply Magnum Force
like a festering stew
and a good cop knows

About this poem:
Please add a line. Let it take the poem forwards. Allow it to be as open as possible for the next line that follows. You can add more than one line, but no consecutive additions.Let's see where it leads.
Let's try for about 2/3 weeks worth.
I'll compile and publish it on here at the end of that time.
online today!If I Was Your Man
If I was your man
I would help you stand
I would hold you up and pull you out your sinking sands
And I know its hard for you to trust a man
But if I'm anyone, I'm the one you truly can
I know you got your walls
And girl, I understand
You take em all down, let yourself fall
Get your heart broke all over again
Don't take em down for me
Cause I want to break em
I wanna prove to you I'm not the bricks that made them
I'd be your best friend
A shoulder you could cry on
I'd be there til the end
My heart you could rely on
I'd never let you down
Cause I am not a clown
In my kingdom I'm a peasant
And you're the one who wears the crown
If I was your man
You'd never have to feel alone
You'd never have to worry that I had some other women on the phone
Yeah I've made some mistakes
You live and you learn
I've always felt that every fallen leaf deserved another turn
And it was you that flipped me over
You're my saving grace
In a deck that's full of jokers
I could be your winning ace
I'd be your best friend
A shoulder you could cry on
I'd be there til the end
My heart you could rely on
I'd never let you down
Cause I am not a clown
In my kingdom I'm a peasant
And you're the one who wears the crown
I would help you stand
I would hold you up and pull you out your sinking sands
And I know its hard for you to trust a man
But if I'm anyone, I'm the one you truly can
I know you got your walls
And girl, I understand
You take em all down, let yourself fall
Get your heart broke all over again
Don't take em down for me
Cause I want to break em
I wanna prove to you I'm not the bricks that made them
I'd be your best friend
A shoulder you could cry on
I'd be there til the end
My heart you could rely on

Cause I am not a clown
In my kingdom I'm a peasant
And you're the one who wears the crown
If I was your man
You'd never have to feel alone
You'd never have to worry that I had some other women on the phone
Yeah I've made some mistakes

When I met you first
When I met you first
To love you was my thirst
I love in such a way
That none has a word to say
But see the greatest lover on his way
To meet his partner in the bay
Birds fly high and days roll by
But I stand here dusk and dawn
Waiting for you to come and join
To love you was my thirst
I love in such a way
That none has a word to say
But see the greatest lover on his way
To meet his partner in the bay
Birds fly high and days roll by
But I stand here dusk and dawn
Waiting for you to come and join

MIND
When we seek for wisdom, we get events and arguments which also comes as a
method of learning and that's where we learn to become better and smarter.
life is short but not too short to become anything we want and everything we can imagine, we transit from certain levels of maturity, we learn from events and arguments.

Post CommentJust a bit of silliness, really
It's beginning to look a lot like EMO, everywhere you go
Tis the season for crying
the season for lying
on yer bed, alone
It's beginning to look a lot like EMO, everywhere you go
suicide's not an option
just wait, yer adoption
to a tribe's, in tow

About this poem:
I was feeling suicidal a few hours ago, and these lyrics just popped in my head.It made me smile, so I jotted them down
Love
The demon inside me
By night it glides me
By war he sides me
From love he hides me-
The woman beside me
The woman who fights me
The woman who likes me
Sometimes even loves-
The angel above me
The only one that loves me
The angel that needs me
But never feeds me-
And the mortals call this love-
The winds are against me
My sins won't forget me
Love is a strange thing
Like pigs on the wing-
The earth swallows me
Then the earth recalls me
My blue sky is dying
Why are you crying?-
And the immortals call this love
By night it glides me
By war he sides me
From love he hides me-
The woman beside me
The woman who fights me
The woman who likes me
Sometimes even loves-
The angel above me
The only one that loves me
The angel that needs me
But never feeds me-
And the mortals call this love-
The winds are against me
My sins won't forget me
Love is a strange thing
Like pigs on the wing-
The earth swallows me
Then the earth recalls me
My blue sky is dying
Why are you crying?-
And the immortals call this love

About this poem:
I wrote this song 9-3-1997 with the help of my guitar. What does this song mean....hmm? It was like looking in the past (rebellious), present (marriage), and seeing the future long before it happens?
online today!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.
