Things are crazy, some people acting lazy, and it seems that

They think you’re the Energizer bunny, you can’t take much

How much does it take, how can you make them see?

I know it ain’t flattery, me sayin’ your battery is on empty

I need you to get a charge, babe the task ahead is large

Our future awaits us, it’s time to act, pick up the cars set

Right now, you need to dream; REM’s deep, as Mr. Sandman

And when you open those pretty eyes, don’t worry that it’s

Your little head will be so busy as you’re drinking, your coffee

Go see everything’s good mark it with an X, Double G will

Back she goes to load up the car, try once more, hoping

Yes that future has been so close she could taste, like over

Persevere and try to maintain composure, this is one chapter

But we both know there’s only one way you can keep, that

And kiss me in the morning!

Leaves are few, mostly blowing; birds are flocking soon they’ll

And another year of opportunities will be blanketed in white

Months go by, surroundings change, shuffle the furniture,

No matter the background when you’re not here the whole

Look up and down the street at the new faces, been here so

Walk my dogs and greet neighbors, I see you in my mind as I

This is where we should be holding hands, walking along

To see you drive up to the house would cause me to go down

You’re the glow from a nice warm fire, throwing off warmth

You’re the arms that fulfill my desire, make me loose yet

You’re the ebb and the flow, you’re my tide, drink you in or

You’re my future and my past, you always come first and babe

We’ll always last

Babies cry and the pain just grows, forsaking your sanity

Close your eyes and picture a perfect day that comes and

Money and evil share a room, seemingly pushing you closer to

But baby we’re not ready for the end, and we’re not heading

You’re the glow from a nice warm fire, throwing off warmth

You’re the arms that fulfill my desire, make me loose yet

You’re the ebb and the flow, you’re my tide, drink you in or

You’re my future and my past, you always come first and babe

We’ll always last

As we lay sleeping

Babies stolen from their parents sight, sometimes in the

At dinner I hear news on the TV , it makes me feel uneasy as

You work your job, live your life, love your kids and you

There’s terror afoot in every city, news anchors says it’s a

Cities are leveled somewhere far away; in the ruins the people

When revenge is exacted, they say they over-reacted, and the

A fight for land, or maybe over oil; the very thought of the

In tunnels or by air, bombs causing destruction everywhere, innocent

When you wade through the tears, look into the eyes at the

Which one of us is next, experts seem to be perplexed, arguing

Then a virus or unknown disease, grab ahold of us and puts

While doctors in the labs, work furiously to keep us off

Ignoring commands, politicizing every chance; a cacophony of

Making great what he tried to burn? You’d think people would

That seat is taken

Table for two, place set for you, smiling at me in my mind

Skies are blue, warm breezes too, in dreams you always find

Despite the lack, we got off track, those memories forsaken

Dinged some, maybe a crack, but she’s coming back, yeah,

On the couch I can’t get right, need you to roll me tight, wrapping

Seems it happens most every night, ask the dogs it’s a hell

Nobody need try to sit, only one that can truly fit, I

She sends my heart into orbit, beating like a drum that won’t

Table for two

Skies are blue

She’s coming back

Can’t get right

Roll me tight

Wish you were there

Knees are shakin”

Holding on cause

that seat is taken

Looking

Looking round but feeling square, seems I just don’t fit

You jam me into a shape that suits you well as you say you

Looking up yet I’m feeling down, I’m no king, it’s just a

Nothing to rule I just need some faced paint cause I feel

Where are the rest of our days? Have I missed them or are

Loving comes, but never too long, tell me how long till it

Looking out, but I keep it all in, shouldn’t start, if you

Sitting on the front porch a dog on either side humming to

Looking happy, but I’m really going mad, relaxing sunsets

Sharing tomorrow’s, enjoying today’s, dreams that I hope

Looking to the Heavens, feeling like hell, am I lost in love

Things get so crazy till I hold you; you know sometimes I

Where are the rest of our days? Have I missed them or are

Loving comes, but never too long, tell me how long till it

Looking for the day it stays

Hole in me

Hole in me

Whole of you

Fill my heart and soul

Patch the hole mama make me whole

Hole in me

Whole of you

Cry me a river ride a boat in the stream

Be my port baby be my dream

Hole in me

Whole of you

Set me free

Babe you know what to do

Patch the hole in me

With the whole of you

No more pain

Saw the news,

Men, women,

Centuries have certainly not improved, blood-stained scars so deeply grooved

When will it end? Despite mega ton blasts leveling buildings the needle hasn’t moved

We hate them and they hate us even more, kill innocents to prop up your cause and even the

Pound them with artillery, no humanitarian pause, too bad about the civilians, damnit this

Pray for peace, hope for a better place, plant trees; drop seeds instead of bombs end

Heal the planet, save the fishes. Help children void of wishes. Put a smile filled with

Stop killing each other in the name of the Lord, shake hands instead of neighborhoods, join

Time to let

Build

Rains of peace flowing through the land, no more gunfire in the streets, take your neighbor by

Prosper under the sun, enjoy the fruits of your God living as one just the way I’m sure He

No more pain

Happy Ending

They say ease up with your flacks, man you’ve got to relax

 Take a breath and be

Come to fruition, but it’s straining this condition

Hits me like a drill in my head and I spill

Out comes the ignorance, reeks of abhorrence,

Words to inflame, cause harm and maim

Thoughtless barrages, insecure collages,

Wonder not from where it came, we’re trapped in some evil game

Somewhere there’s a happy ending, somewhere there’s a golden

Close my eyes there’s a wish I’m sending, tomorrow finds us

Standing tall beside a happy ending, with a basket of eggs

So, I figure then maybe silence is golden, there’s a vision

I got to stop all the wailing, crazy babble arms flailing

Chillin ain’t really all that bad, cause you know one day

Dream about it as you’re foldin’, laundry thinking nights

Why do you want sulk and cowl? Say I quit and toss in the

Pain is not exclusive to your heart, but she’s been dreaming

Reassure her and embolden, offer praise and support not

Wrap memories of joyful screams, around all of your nightly

Remember how empty my heart was till you strolled in? When

Somewhere there’s a happy ending, somewhere there’s a golden

Close my eyes there’s a wish I’m sending, tomorrow finds us

Standing tall beside a happy ending, with a basket of eggs

And the love of my life under my arm

My Christina Rose

Before another sunrise

Lord let me see her eyes

Before another sunset

Let me kiss those lips I can’t forget

I lived for more than six decades

Been through fantasies and charades

Lead down the aisle with a hook in my nose

None of it means a thing since my Christina Rose

Before another sunrise

Lord let me see her eyes

Before another sunset

Let me kiss those lips I can’t forget

Shorter days, lower temps, sad sights

Babe let’s snuggle through the nights

Warm my heart as the cold wind blows

Share my life my love my Christina Rose

Rest in my arms

No sun today, looking rather gray and in fact it’s mainly

Despite my usual cloudy day aches, mama I don’t feel pain

Cause today’s the day she’s driving through the marsh, past

Spread the news today the love of my life is coming to rest

I got a case of jars,  full to the top of the sunsets she missed that

And too many empty Tylenol bottles that’d ease my head when

Lamenting about the lost time that I should’ve been buried

It’s behind us at last thank God! The love of my life is

She’s been through days where she couldn’t distinguish the start

Patching wounds in and out, two more appear before she can begin

She thought she would never break free, that everything she

But her man is still standing tall, calling the love of his

As tomorrow’s become yesterdays, and next years are in the

The pages will be filled with happiness and joy for anyone

No more long sad faces, no more panic rooms, no more alarms

Now she can take solace that every day she can come to rest
