A Pink Rose In Bloom

A PINK ROSE IN BLOOM


She was like a pink rose in bloom
As she drifted into the room
She was totally unaware
Of my alluring stare
A glass of Chardonnay, she quickly consumed

I walked over and offered my name
Unassuming, I thought she do the same
She was quick to decline
Said I was wasting my time
And she turned and left the way she came

Well, she left me in scorn
And feeling a little forlorn
My dad would say, if you meddle
Sniff a rose's pedals
She always reminds you she has thorns

She's There Then She's Gone

SHE'S GONE


One minute she's there
Next minute she's gone
How could a day that started so right
Have ended so terribly wrong
Married twenty years
My friend, my wife, my love
Now when I talk to her
I will have to kneel and look above
Life is so delicate
So precious being who you were
When the stress of life is over
All that's left is remembering her
Somehow that should be enough
But it never is
I want her back
If only to have one more kiss
So I go to bed
Sleep to morning and rise
I get up and walk aimlessly
Till I meet my demise
Once I was king I had it all
I had a queen I loved
Then in a second it happen
Now she looks down from above
My story is just one of thousands
That travel the highways we drive
The difference is that for a moment
Their wife is still alive

Fly Away Home

FLY AWAY HOME


A Canadian girl Amy one night on the prowl
Found some eggs of wild geese fowl
Amy took the eggs home to hatch
In the morning Amy inspected her catch
The geese hatched and thought Amy was their mother, who knew

###

So Amy raised her brood
She found each goose had their own separate mood
The geese followed Amy everywhere
Threw the barn, through meadows, even on the porch chair
What was Amy going to do

###

Amy knew the geese had to fly south in the fall
There had to be someone Amy could call
So she called a wild game refuge in southern USA
And here is what they had to say
They're glad to have the geese as their southern refuge

###

Now, There was just a couple of other things
How were they going to fly home in the spring
And if we were going to discuss the travel after all
How were the geese coming south in the fall
But Amy had an idea or two

###

Amy's father made Ultralight airplanes from scratch
Maybe he could make one for Amy and her catch
Then when the geese flew south in the fall
Amy could show them the way after all
She found her quest to take care of her brood

###

Amy and the geese set off on their fight
Flew across Lake Ontario and into the night
She landed at sun-set and with pen and paper made that recording
Got some sleep and set out in the morning
Amy thought, there won't be any problems, she just knew

###

She flew across New York State, past New York City, to the coast
Straight down to North Carolina Wild Life Refuge her host
The geese made the trip with out any serious situations
Amy thought the wild life refuge had a wonderful reputation
She was proud of her brood they all came through

###

Amy worried, coming back would the geese blunder
All through the winter she wondered
But in April as a flock they all flew
From the North Carolina Wild Life Refuge
Right to Amy back porch which they all knew

What Are You Thinking In There

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING IN THERE
(The Dog Is Man's Best Friend)

There you sit with that stoic stare
What are you thinking in there
Is it simply, how can I please
Or are you thinking, know more of me
Every day you're at my beck and call
Ready to give your all
Is what you want a simple plea
To change both our thoughts to we

###

Together we will have more fun
Running and playing in the sun
And in a world that's complicated
Two different species feel liberated
Living life not worrying about knowing their place
Or show social expectancy to save face
Because we are quick to discover
We in truth love each other

Little Eyes Are Watching (The Cat's Meow)

LITTLE EYES ARE WATCHING
( The Cat's Meow)

Do you know I'm watching you in everything you do
That everytime you make a move, I follow you
You are my world, you are my life, your everything
When I jump into your lap, I hope your heart will sing

When you look at me we don't speak, but deep inside I know
I sense the feeling of love, in your eyes I see the glow
We two have a special bond, our lives thrive because of the other
Sitting for hours with loving glances and no sounds ever uttered

Climbing Jacobs Ladder

CLIMBING JACOB'S LADDER


When your young you don't think of death as part of life.
You know death's there down a windy road far out of sight.
You're to busy, things to do and important people to know.
Living the good life is tough, but you must keep up the show.

When your young, you're so unsure, you don't know what to do.
But life is complicated and stressful and all that stress is on you.
You start to think, life's not working, there's got to be a better way.
So you make adjustments and you start to have better days.

And then I started thinking about something my father read.
An ancient fable of Jacob's Ladder and here's what my father said.
Jesus told Jacob about a ladder to heaven on angel wings.
The ladder was lit by the brilliance of GOD's love while angel's sing.

As I thought further, Jacob's Ladder starts at the beginning of life.
The bottom of the ladder is dark and you climb into the light.
The light is really knowledge and it gets brighter as you age.
Jacob's Ladder and the light turns brilliant as life turns a page.

So we continue to live our lives and do the best that we can do.
To try and always do the right thing in life and to believe in you.
Some people that read this poem might say it doesn't matter.
In truth it matters, all through life you're Climbing Jacob's Ladder.

Our Life In Mankind

OUR LIFE IN MANKIND


Man's success is working in numbers
Through achievements and blunders
Man tries to achieve
What he truly believes
And puts doubters asunder
Man can be selfish
Wanting to keep
Some sow and others don't reap

###




Man strives for his constant perfection
Guards against rebel insurrection
To temper his greed
And continue to lead
With strait forward direction
Constant believer in dreams
With conviction through screams
With freedom his biggest spiritual connection

###

Man continues his dominance on earth
Adapts through changes in re-birth
As man changes nature
Through his errant behavior
Trouble is it's worth
Keep this in your mind
Lately changes have been adverse
Damnation is just a matter of time

The Birds Of Joy And Sorrow

THE BIRDS OF JOY AND SORROW


The feelings of joy and sorrow
Resonates through my soul
The taste of love together
That are gone from me forever
So I sing with the birds of joy and sorrow
Sing of hope for my tomorrows
To hopefully find again what I once knew
To fill my body through and through
This is my quest my sole ambition
Again to find love is my mission
Until I find love I continue to borrow
The songs from The Birds Of Joy and Sorrow

A Man and A Woman

“ A MAN AND A WOMAN “


A man and a woman have different wants and needs.
Of deep primal feelings and ones society breeds.
It is unreasonable to think that a life long friendship
could be derived. With out sex or marriage between them,
as a part of their lives. But such a friendship exist and
has for years. A friendship of admiration, secret
dreams and tears. The friendship that will last a lifetime
to out live their peers. So lives the friendship of Tim and Lynn
that all shall revere.

Ghost Of The Abyss

“ GHOST OF THE ABYSS “


Deep in the dark and blue
Stealthy shadows slither through
Monsters most never see
What you don’t see won’t hurt you
To a child a parent’s labored virtue
Is now known to be false
Because down in the deep of deeps
A ghostly creature floats and seeks
To leave prey without a pulse
The behemoth in question
To my recollection
Only once has ever been seen
The ghostly giant squid
Savagely puts in its bid
Architeuthis greatest legend of the sea
So the journey continues in the abyss
With more questions than answers to list
Ghost of the dark and blue

The Ability To Have Gratitude

ABILITY TO HAVE GRATITUDE



Wake up to life; turn your life into enough and more.
Take your chaotic mind, give it order, leave it free to explore.
Confusion becomes clarity, denial leaves, now truths your own.
A stranger becomes a best friend, where you live becomes a home.

It turns a simple meal into feast.
Suddenly your pass makes sense, it gives you peace.
It gives peace to your soul for today.
Gives you vision for tomorrow, so you will see the way.

Your appreciative soul takes advantage of every moment.
Makes opportunities to right wrongs for atonement.
It spreads kindness in other people’s thoughts.
Over looks mistakes of others, the way God has taught.

Gratitude inspires confidence and shows you too can be admired.
It instills self-awareness and others notice your desire.
Gratitude compliments people, that’s essential.
So that everyone has a chance to reach their potential.

He Walks Amoung Us

HE WALKS AMOUNG US
(with evil on his mind)


He walks among us, without us being aware.
Of the unimaginable atrocities that he dares.
Spawned by greed and self worth, that is shown.
He takes from others, believes everything is his own.

As a child he was neglected, derived he had no worth.
Fought for his survival all the way from birth.
His mother conceived him on one of her drunken nights.
His father raped his mother, then fled out of sight.

We want to hate him he has no purpose in our world.
But he deserves our pity when his story in unfurled.
This tragedy didn't have to happen and it's plain to see.
That this poor anomaly could have been you or me.
