Stupid LifeI really live a stupid life
With an even dumber wife
My car is a ford
Mechanic tells me time to pull the cord
My credit is practically zero
Not even a loan can be my hero
All my friends fled...

Rainbow's EndI’ve walked
Many a mile
Since every Rainbow’s End

Many a mile
Through smoke-filled haze
And alcoholic daze
Melody now gone
From lonesome cities
I took no time
To listen...

StitchesStitches
A wound, deep and wide.
Gaping, Ragged, Bleeding...
Cover with the cloth of
False Smiles.
Cover with the cobweb gauze of
Empty Sympathy.
Clamp it shut with fingers of
Chemical Laughter.
Hold it together with shaky hands of
Liquid pain relief.

The fixNervous hesitation
The fix is close
But scared there chasing
Shaky hands that

On my way
Too Never Land
I've...

Thoughts on lifeLife is so strange,
Nothing stays the same.
Everything change,
But who to blame?
It is like a game
Where you lose,
Before you gain
And to win you have to face the fearful rain.
The closest people you need, go away
When you...

So you find your light down there in the dark, down there the light burns for you so bright.
You feel the warmth of the cold street light where rain finds the tears you cry.

Beacons of hopeThere are people who are beacons of hope,
Who keep bitterness at bay,
Despite all that comes their way,
Each and every day.
Of course they feel anger,
Despair, sadness, and loneliness,
And want to scream out loud,
But bitterness they keep...

22-5-2024I’m not amongst them
You’d think I’d been taken along with the breeze
I’m not so fussed
The stem doesn’t typically part with the leaves
In relations we trust
Why so quick to condemn then?...

No don (except me)

WHEN I WAS A LOVERIn my young life I loved,
In my young life I was loved,
Love at the time was given.

Love at the time, was part of life,
When I was a lover I was...

Just one more beer
Time passes slowly when the mind is clear
But when the mind gets muddled, like mint in a jar,
There never seems enough liquor by far
And you tell yourself just one more beer
