I have seen many years;
They have not changed me
I have lived life;
Life has not defeated me
I have seen death;
Death has not altered me
I have known love;
Love has not abandoned me
I have seen darkness;
Darkness has not frightened me
I have felt failure;
Failure has not weakened me
I will sing my songs;
My words will comfort me
Old Age
No sex
No alcohol
No smoking
No drugs
No greasy food
No walking
No standing
No breathing
No living
Each New Day I Wonder
Will this be the last time?
Your warmth draws me awake and
My lips caress your beauty
Each New Day I Wonder
Will this be the last time?
My arms pull you to me as
I whisper I love you
Each New Day I Wonder
Will this be the last time?
That you will comfort me or
Ease my pain with your touch
Each New Day I Wonder
Will this be the last time?
That I will dream of you
Running down those country roads
We were sixteen, free and alone
Didn’t care what life had in store for us
Just singing the songs of our own
Where did those children go
They spread their wings and flew away
I lost track of them so long ago
If only I could go back to those days
I would not worry about the hypocrites
Or all the other ne’er-do-well
They should have followed their own advice
As far as I can tell
But we listened to all of their lies
Instead of letting our hearts sing
I watched the sunrise fade from your eyes
And now I know what the future brings
Gravel Roads
The plumes of dust spew from beneath my wheels
As I drive headlong into the darkness
Thick clouds hide those things I have left behind
They will only show me what lies ahead
Down those back roads I drive like a demon
If I can go fast enough then maybe
I will break the barrier that holds me
To the river and back again is the
Cruise of my one horse town. No burger joints
No main street cafes or crowded drive-ins
Someday I will drive beyond the river…
Rock & Metal Reviews That Hit Hard
Life is a story, waiting to be told
Daydreaming and then, maybe, writing a poem about it. And that's my life.
Our thoughts define us, so let's focus on a few.
Poems, prose, and observations
