ana maria
you can ride of the zest
of a smile, girl
if you want to
you can walk on the side
of the earth, girl
like I do
like a bird who can sing
but never will
like a tide that sleeps
but is never still
or a line from from a film
that won't be seen at all
I can see by the way
you sleep, girl
your a broke shoe
and when dawn meets your eyes
I'm up and gone
like morn dew
so go go to the place
where the sea meets the sand
dive into the time
and away from the land
you can turn it round
if you want to, don't you see?
of a smile, girl
if you want to
you can walk on the side
of the earth, girl
like I do
like a bird who can sing
but never will
like a tide that sleeps
but is never still
or a line from from a film
that won't be seen at all
I can see by the way
you sleep, girl
your a broke shoe
and when dawn meets your eyes
I'm up and gone
like morn dew
so go go to the place
where the sea meets the sand
dive into the time
and away from the land
you can turn it round
if you want to, don't you see?

online today!?????????
So we walk in different fields, don't know how it feels, for me to be you, or you to be me, we just cant see, and our blindness creates that void, was it you? or me that lied?, human things, problem brings, spirits show, high and low, our insanity, our creativity, and it always ends the same, because we decided to play this game, and we take it to the high, to feel the wonder,, and fly, then we drop into the abyss, and its all over!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, what did we miss?

Post Commentonline today!Another day
So the wind chill factor is -5 but I'll stay alive, this doorway is cold but I have cardboard boxes to fold, I can be ok, I can be alright, I know I'll get through another night, and tomorrow will be another day,,, and I hope, maybe better, somewhere for me to stay!

Post Commentonline today!Who? What?
So will I write a poem with no reflection, nothing that will give any direction?
The wind blows loud and shrill outside, the doors they creak, the windows rattle about to break, but yet I feel serene, I dont care about life or where I've been, I'm just wondering WAS there a big bang?, hmmmmmmm,, we all came to be,,, was it a big bang?, hmm or a gang bang?, our Alien creation,, our distant relation?
Were they just bored and decided to create,???,Found this world, decided it was not too late, to recreate,,? Who knows?, are we part alien?,, hmmm or are we just apart?
The greatest minds have never come back, so, there's something that we lack, smart beings?,,, and nothing else, it's all about nothing,, because nothing makes sense!

Post CommentVanessa, explained
If I could hold
the quill of truth
over the page
of unfolding story
and hold it still
and let the page itself
write the words
of your defining glory
if I could see
the candle
that lights the table
beside your bed
and see that light
in constant fight
against the dousing
tears you shed
but bitter winds
comb the sands
of the fragile breath
that you release
and war minds wait
in the long grass
as foil
against your peace
I would pray
with actions
outside the gate
off all you hold.. most true
and guard from devils
and unworthy men
the very thing
that makes you.. You

Post Commentmountain man
I'm rough hewn Lil
you picked me still
to your North star
I'm the black
trace elements fly
to fill the sky..
you bring the things
I lack
I'm running Lil
I'm running still..
from the law
and from my sound
the man who fell
can lodge in hell
he tried to put me
in the ground
I found the Earth's rhythm
it bonded in my core
I get to trace a human face
each year at the General Store
you picked me still
to your North star
I'm the black

to fill the sky..

Easy Living
Easy living,
Is this what it takes?, ( ex.1- da de da doo)
Play it by ear?,
You wake and you bake!,
ooh, (x4) - Easy living, -
The party begins,
When you arrive!
You wonder if it's the right place?,
While you - are greeted with smiles!,
Easy living, --
You jump on a Harley,
Cuts circles in the grass, (ex.2 cha che cha cha cha)
The neighbors call the cops,
Then ask for your autograph!,
ooh (x4) - Easy living, --
People pay you!,
To play on the stage!,
But even you don't,
They love you anyways!,
Easy living, --
Easy living,
Is that what it took?, (ex.3 de da dow ba da ba da bom bom boom)
To play that six string thing?,
To have the looks?,
ooh (x4) Easy living, -
And you have it all!,
Where else can you go?
If you are (reading, hearing) this,
(de da doo, chada chada chada ching ba da boom)
Let me know?!

About this poem:
Wrote this 6-9-2023. I thought of writing something Rock off a scale of the days of yore of Rock! Perhaps something like a modern-day oldie with rock, blues, and jazz style, or maybe something more The sound somewhat modern studio wise, but the vocals, the group, very old school style. Let's day the 50's early 60's? An interesting aspect, eh? lol Until then
Sound, Music, and Timing
All the Rhymes in the world as big as it can be.
The Truth and the Lies we will never see.
A Glimpse here and there is not what you want.
That knowledge by chance will certainly Haunt.
If it is big enough to get you killed but by some reason.
You have a skill . To beat the odds till they cant handle it anymore.
God bless You

About this poem:
Just venting to myself. You just happened to red it.LOL Hugs
Canadian girl
I met her in the winter
in a bar upon the hill
when the dark
was carved by starlight
and the moon
had paid the bill
I stepped in from the wilderness
from the howling wind and rain
I was weary from my journey's
around other people's pain
"you are bearded broad and ugly"
said the prairie girl in fright
not one for moralising
we shared our bones that night
I told her of my story
from the famine ships I came
in a world of madness hunger
where I killed men to my shame
corruption took our homelands
our humanity and our dead
I hated a world that priced our lives
in the currency of bread
I left her at the dawning
as a coyote fought the moon
one night was our forever
she'd be over me by noon
my journey is a lonesome one
thrown far by the devil's hurl
so I bellow out two fires
for the prairie and the girl
in a bar upon the hill
when the dark
was carved by starlight
and the moon
had paid the bill
I stepped in from the wilderness
from the howling wind and rain
I was weary from my journey's
around other people's pain
"you are bearded broad and ugly"
said the prairie girl in fright
not one for moralising
we shared our bones that night
I told her of my story
from the famine ships I came
in a world of madness hunger
where I killed men to my shame
corruption took our homelands
our humanity and our dead
I hated a world that priced our lives
in the currency of bread
I left her at the dawning
as a coyote fought the moon
one night was our forever
she'd be over me by noon
my journey is a lonesome one
thrown far by the devil's hurl
so I bellow out two fires
for the prairie and the girl

I went to Vegas a year ago, and gamble all day through. I lost a hundred thou and had to sing the blues. There was no clocks on the wall, to tell the time come true. But the manager seen me cry , and said what can I do I said I needed cab fare a hundred bucks or more the manager gave me a travelers check , then through me out the door.
