Time to groove

Has it been that many years? Or have we lost count dodging

As together we fought off another one of those mind-altering

Babe no matter if there’s ten thousand more demons on the

Close your eyes and take my hand, listen to the beat it’s

Lots of things can happen down the road, babe you know that’s

But nothing good will either babe unless I’m standing next

We’d travel, kiss atop the Eiffel Tower, smooch by Mona Lisa

Or snuggle watching it on TV, but babe listen to the beat it’s

We need to do the slide, two lovers cruising the open

Wherever’s our destination, together is the key that starts

As we drive away to some exotic locale, oh honey I sure hope

Cause babe it’s high time we got struttin’, listen to the

Yeah baby it’s time to groove

Scratch my itch

Sometimes I swear the second that I am using both hands

To carry something say, I get an irritation in my nasal

Or maybe something right square between my shoulder blades

Drives me mad and I go off on one of my mindless tirades

There’s a cure for my ills, no I don’t need no pills

Just my baby beside me to reach up under my gills

Stops me wiggling so I don’t pop a stitch, calms my nerves so

She’s my baby and I love her so, but baby right now I really

Babe you know sometimes my issue don’t pertain to my skin,

There’s an empty spot beside me and it grates me within

A rash of insecurity has spread all over making me squirm

I need the warmth of your touch and babe I need it long term

Stops me wiggling so I don’t pop a stitch, calms my nerves so

She’s my baby and I love her so, but baby right now I really

Sidle up close woman, rub away the pain, let your love wash

Walk with me, learn with me, grow with me, laugh with me,

I need that warmth babe, long term, stop all that wiggling

Babe you know I love you forever, mama come to me and

Scratch me baby

Does love promise

Does love promise smiles? So

But what happens when love

Does love promise a sunset? Hop

But what about the days when the

Does love promise to mend?

The day has just started when

Love doesn’t promise us

But it’s a magic shared

Only we can make the wand

To illuminate our faces

Does love promise a tomorrow?

Keep it by my side if I have

Does love promise success? If

Don’t need distractions, just

Love doesn’t promise us

But it’s a magic shared

Only we can make the wand

To illuminate our faces

Love doesn’t promise that, I

Under the midday sun

Thirty-one days above 110 in Phoenix, sweating just thinking

Maui damn near burned to the ground, storms from hells

You wonder if global warming has

Glaciers’ shrinking, calving faster melting away, our eco

Uncovering lands meant to stay frozen, our existence becomes

You wonder if global warming has begun, as I'm standing

Polar ice shrinking, violent storms brewing, time for all

Temperatures can’t rise, not even one degree, or the

You wonder if global warming has begun, as I'm standing

I miss the sounds

Every year in the summer since

Put the Pabst in the cooler

Head to the park to join up

Everyone together man we were

Meeting up with my cousins

Wander off away from the

 Kings for the day we were strolling the

Could hear our folks

The laughter, the love, the combination

Table to table sampling

Card games dealt out on

Drinks and cigarettes, can’t

Pinochle or sheepshead, pass

Marcia and Dorothy laughing, give

Kathleen gave me words of

Nell’s kids were really

Ask him to drop in on them

Or bring them back if you

Bridge the divide

Red and blue, they want to separate you; you’ve got to be

Since my birth, we’re killing the Earth; no one saw, too

Ignoring the science, MAGA-blind defiance; when it all burns

Petty differences expanded; covert actions heavy-handed; see

Women have rights, minorities needn’t fear nights; gerrymandering

Keep ‘em on the ground, pay no attention to the sound; we’re

We’ve come too far into sun, running out of places to run. Time

Despite what he ballyhoos, we share the same values; red, white,

Who wins when warming grows, coastlines are flooded,

So how much of putting wealth ahead of need, protecting a criminal’s

Lady Liberty can’t look, even she wants to throw her book;

It’s not the norm to be rude, use class to exclude; send him

Listen to what’s being said, don’t just vote blue or red; look

Quit hating on rainbows, your actions are where the shame

Rhetoric aside, folks, where do you stand? Cactus are frying

Mark your calendars, incumbent or challengers; be sure and

Use both your head and your heart, don’t let them drift too

Let’s fix this mess, pray to your God to bless! That we can

Wearing a smile

Seen so many women, parading on Facebook reels, showing most

Anything like the thrill I get when I look into your eyes, let

Seen so many women dressed in expensive fancy clothes, real

No matter if they’re wearin’ next to nothing or in the

Seen so many women, acting like they know it all, follow me

I don’t need pictures of you having a good time, cause if I’m

Seen so many women, ask for the moon and stars, dancing all

My babe would rather just cuddle for a while, stargazing

Wearing a smile cause she climbed the hill, cured the worst

Wearing a smile laying across my chest, watching that moon,

Just wearing a smile

Opening doors

We have gone down so many hallways, a maze of doors locked

Third time round the sun losing fall days, another summer

If it wasn’t in your mind playing tricks, it was something

Thought it might be too much for us to fix,  with an ever-closing wall against our backs

We looked into to each other’s souls,

Alone we’ve been

It ain’t made of metal, but baby it sure does shine,

The key is, the way when your eyes meet mine. No matter the

Put me in the game, give me the ball; I’m going to score for

Together we’re the champions, we win it all! A winning

We looked into to each other’s souls, and saw a perfect

Alone we’ve been knocked down, crawled on all fours, but together

Yeah babe, together we will open doors, get to where we want

We will lock it behind us and the future we dreamed of will

Sure we’ve been down, crawling on the ground like a baby on

Honey with you by my side we can stand tall cause we got the

I love you Christina Rose!
