Words carried by the wind
From the mountain to the bend
Spoken sweet words without hope
Her mind clouded by dope
Men coming and going
Her true self showing
She was trying to be cool
Making me her special fool
Words sounding pure
A lie has no cure
Taking is her goal
Till she has your soul
Broken hearts and empty pockets
Who would have thought-it
Should have learned
Before I burned
Now running away
to love another day
When your past is done
Go make a new one!

Heartless
<a name="#017"> Heartless </a>
My love for you was priceless
My biggest mistake, I must confess
Your love came with a cost
True love not found, but lost
Demanding more than I could give
Eventhe home where my sons live
How could you take it all
Smiling and standing tall
You still wanted more
You'd never be poor
Leaving me homeless
Driving me to madness
You forced my removal
Seeking friends approval
You're not on a roll
You've bankrupt your soul
Love is in your cashflow
That's as low as you can go
A love based on money
Makes you a heartless bitch, honey

Isolation
<a name="#018"> Isolation </a>
Couldn't find myself today
Waking to sorrow and confusion
Depression throughout the house
Asking the walls, they answered not
Dressing to go, not remembering where
Opening the door, I couldn't go through
Imprisioned without bars or locks
Keeping me away from myself
And the monster I'm becoming
Loosing the past, afraid of the future
Comtent with not bothering anyone
I talk to the walls, they answer not...

Tapestry
<a name="#019"> Tapestry </a>
Tattered and torn
Many loose threads
Looks proudly worn
Though in shreads
Tapestry of my life
Can no longer repair
Living with the x-wife
Must handle with care
This tapestry many have tore
Afraid to loose another stitch
Can't unravel any more
Ain't life a bitch.

What a tragic blow
Exploding compassion
A shining light
Never to brighten
My life again
Always smiling
Joyous laughter
A wonderful friend
Scent of cigar smoke
Lingers around me
While I sit
Sadly looking
Seeing his image
Remembering stories
He and I shared
Another best friend
Cast to memory
Fighting the sadness
Embracing the friendship
Accepting the grief
Of the heartfelt loss
A very special man
I'll miss you Baby John

look inside
must abide
legal beagles
killing eagles
man forgetting recovery
children ending discovery
bargain deals
training wheels
as parents stumble
childrens dreams crumble
everyones frantic desparation rising
who's left for realizing
child reaches
poet teaches
seeds and pleads
keep off weeds
smoke this, shoot that
blind as a bat
hindsight to insight is outta-sight
damned hard remembering it right
leaders lying
futures dying
learning to hate
devils best bait
turn on, tune out
living with self doubt
loaded guns and hotdog buns
naked warfare and pregnant nuns
never smoke in a pubic place
don't blow chow in someones face

Tattered and torn
Many loose threads
Looks proudly worn
Even though in shreads
This design of my life
Is beyond repair
Living with the x-wife
Must handle with care
Can't unravel anymore
Must cherish every stitch
Not much left to adore
Ain't life a bitch!

I don't mean to alarm
Today could bring you harm
Living under stress
Danger with no address
Rigid words spoken
Offered as a token
Of a false assurance
For a suspected occurance
Just be alert
Not much to assert
To help our nation
Through this duration
You must be calm
It's not yet Saddam
But Usama Bin Laden
Who's making us down-trodden
So enjoy your day
We've nothing more to say
Just live normal
This warnings not formal

Forty-nine
<a name="#024"> Forty-nine </a>
The gray was a sign
So was glasses with a line
I'd just turned forty-nine
But my eyes still shine
And yes...those wrinkles are mine
I still go out to dine
And drink from the vine
It's not quite time
For that box of pine
So forget about that shrine
I'm not near ready to resign
Hell, everythings just fine
I'm like a very fine wine
And you can call me...Mr. Nodine

Rising?
<a name="#025"> Rising? </a>
Been down this road before
Usually sliping and sliding
This time diving head first
No road in sight, water rising!
Treading life's murky waters
Needing that life line
That never seems to come
Mind's "storm waters" rising!
This inner evil dooms me
Pushes me, prevents me,
From never returning
To this negative flood rising!
Gasping and grasping
Reaching and beseeching
Darkness surrounds me
Fearing, feeling the tombstone rising!
I can see my death
My future lost in the past
I have fought it many times
Courage no longer rising!
Failure becoming routine
Disappointments every day
Joy and happiness a stranger
The pain of living rising!
There is no resolve
This problem I cannot solve
Ignored, hiding from myself
Regretting each day's rising!
