Brilliant radiance

Brilliant radiance resilience paid recompense

My angel appears through the fog heaven sent

Shining across my fears, platinum hair wipes my tears

The lingering steam clouding tomorrow suddenly clears

Brilliant radiance

Layers of yesterdays heartaches, a mind can be strong until

Forget devoting thoughts to the pains and catch a break on

Brilliant radiance, resilience paid recompense

Enjoyment of those dreams and where have those troubles

Brilliant radiance

Here comes smiles over frowns, chuckle freely while we dance

Closing out their caterwauling tap dancing on their noses to

Two lovers joining forces bound together, swing round the

No need for lights, just see the fire burning night and day through

Brilliant radiance

The last of his twenties this year

Ran into some friends who asked about my kid

Just like always, I recounted all the things he did

How old is he now they asked, and I  suddenly choked back a tear

Could it be true? Time flies, he’s in the last of his

Seemed the other day I marveled as he came to be

Climbing from the crib to college so much to see

Seems funny now my neuroticism from the first-time

Overblown by this dad and now he’s in the last of his

So proud as walked to me, prouder still the day he drove

Pokémon to podcaster, though they reside together to this

A home of his own, lovely wife, cute dog hell he’s thinking

My son never ceases to amaze me, he’s in the last of his

Happy Birthday Ti!

Love, Dad

I know what I want, no more window-shopping

Stay home at night, don’t ever go barhopping

Cause I found love, beauty, and heavenly charms

The first-time babe, that I had you wrapped in my arms

After years of wandering finally my heart’s centering

On a lady who flipped my heart just upon entering

You sent my head code red, tripped all of the alarms

The first-time babe, that I had you wrapped in my arms

I knew I was hooked, like a big old salmon on the line

I’d swore I’d give anything just to be able to call you mine

Protect from life’s slings and arrows, shield you from its’

The first-time babe, that I had you wrapped in my arms

And I ain’t never letting go!

Well-traveled

Well-traveled

Tragedy

Again, we’ve

Unforeseen delays

The panorama,

Deliberation,

Lose the

Catch as many

Tomorrows

Flocking

So snap go

Remembering,

Clearly back

No worries,

Ready to roll

Just the

Ice melts,

No problems,

Jaws drop,

Low lights, silhouettes,

Lonely times,

Despite best

Still, we

Chasing down

No matter how

Straight to

When you

Looking for

I love you more

Sunny days with people who make me smile

Tokin, playing Kart and laughing all the while

Juicy red steaks, fries and a large ice-cold Coke Zero

Dreaming of saving the world and becoming a folk hero

All of these things are really great

Each one I would greatly appreciate

Be a happy stoned satiated legend of lore

No matter what though I love you more

Watching the Pack crush them all and win every game

Then later tune in to the Bucks to watch Giannis and Dame

Cruise to a championship, then get to see my Brew Crew

Take it to the World Series can you imagine the flips I’d do

All of these things are really great

Each one I would greatly appreciate

Be a happy stoned satiated legend of lore

No matter what though I love you more

I tell you I love you and you always say you love me more

So, I wanted to let you know exactly what’s in store

Cause I would give anything to be lying right next to you

Every single evening when our day together is through

Place a sign saying a happy couple lives here over our door

I love you forever baby, c’mon let me hear you say I love

Angry words, violent actions; a nations hinges on the furor

The right ballyhoos ballot box trickery fueling their constituency’s

Election season unlike any before; based on the last imagine

Me? I have had more than my fill of fanatical delusions Mein

America you’d best be paying attention. Our democracy teeters

There’s a mad man who wants to rule the world as a king, despite

It’s no secret it’s what he’s got planned

No red or blue tell me where do you stand?

Drill for oil, wall out foreigners, keep the perimeter

Retribution for those who won’t bow, where do you stand?

Still trying to rewrite the pages, pleading insurrection

Guilty stains, like the black dye running down Rudy’s cheeks,

Blame the machines or the volunteers, prey upon your

Some say it’s pointless to try to change their minds, after

Does he hear the cries from across our land?

No red or blue tell me where do you stand?

Are we Rebs and Yanks, choosing sides like that Civil War

Brothers and sisters in the home of the brave that we must

Those horrible too many days away blues

She said they took away my eyes, I can’t see my babe she

Said she is feeling beat down from all the failed things she

But you can see me babe

She said I can’t hear you babe they took the sound, this

We two flying hand-in-hand across myriad skies of future

But you can hear me babe

She said I can no longer seem to speak; I know what I want

I have so many things to say to you babe, all about our life

But I will always listen to you babe

Every time I close my eyes and think of your face

A calm feeling pours me a new mood to replace

Those horrible too many days away blues

A gentle glance into your tenderness I hear you say

I love you forever and ever until our very last day

Those horrible too many days away blues

The only way I know to beat them back when I feel like this

Reliving that passion, softly moaning as you gave me a kiss

Those horrible too many days away blues

We can beat them honey close your eyes and open your mind

I’ll serenade you until the beautiful morning sun does find

We beat those horrible blues and we’re basking in love!

Too many trips to the medical center

Baby’s getting tired but the doctor sent her

Too many pills make everything turn to fuzz

Can’t see the point, she wants it like it was

Breathing hard just to feel more pain

Life was good I want to be back there again

Relax honey, lonely nights but just a couple more

Sunrise shines ,two lovers, picture window, open my door

Too many curves on this road to salvation

Won’t find our song playing on any station

You’ve got to hear it in your mind, and it will come

First you tap your foot and then you start to hum

Then you’ll start singing, first softly then really loud

It could be storming like mad, but you can’t see a cloud

Cause it’s a beautiful day to go home, you know what’s in

Romance novel loving from the moment that you open my door

One heart

Say I’m sounding like a total jerk, ranting like a lunatic,

Once you get coffee to perk, better take it from the burner

Clean it up fast before it can burn, grab a couple of mugs, time

Here’s a lesson to learn, kissing tears, sharing hugs, pump

Baby that highway calls us to ride, down love street onto

Quell the hunger screaming inside, Niagara Falls couldn’t douse

Our love rolls on like tires steel belted, over angry words

Passionate lovers naked bodies melted, every wall between us

Strongly as one heart

Tim Windisch

What goes through your mind

What goes through your mind, what image do you find, when

Are you straddling my chest, what’s the place you love best,

Memories play too big a part, tired of things keeping us

Pounding head cannot explain, leads to short fuses and I

The plotting to tear out your past, you bite your tongue it

But the revolutions around the big old sun, time lost well

And what goes through your mind, keeps getting harder to

Backwards thinking as futures languish, kill love buds ‘n you’ll

Like our great big Christmas cactus, just telling you what the

A lot like you straddling my chest, it’s the thing we both

So tell me mama what goes through your mind
