Dream Light

Hardened solid is the clay
That shapes the way I am today
I dream escape from endless grief
Restoring child-like belief

Experience has made me cold
Stolen who I was before
Left behind half of a whole
Changed the essence of my core

I wish to dance in brilliant light
Cleanse my soul with gentle rain
Slumber sound in dark of night
At dawn awaken without pain

Soar up high in skies above
Gaze down upon meadows green
To once again believe in love
To have faith in things unseen

Memories that formed the clay
Although impossible to do
Will them all to melt away
And live the bliss that I once knew

The Stiff

(the word (moll) means a mobsters wife or girlfriend)



I heard of a wiseguy named Guido
Who suffered a waning libido
His disgruntled moll
Made a quick call
Now Guido is incognito

Dead Silence

dead silence
the big hand strikes
my final hour
little hand on the five
time for me to go home

Dream Light

hardened solid is the clay
that shapes the way I am today
I dream escape from endless grief
restoring child-like belief
     experience has made me cold
     stolen who I was before
     left behind half of a whole
     changed the essence of my core
          I wish to dance with brilliant light
          cleanse my soul with gentle rain
          slumber sound in dark of night
          at dawn awaken without pain
               soar up high in skies above
               gaze down upon meadows green
               to once again believe in love
               to have faith in things unseen
                    memories that formed the clay
                    although impossible to do
                    will them all to melt away
                    and live the bliss that I once knew

Ole Jim Goes To Chuch

Driving into town
church his destination
Body weak and weary
in need of inspiration

Just a retired handyman
short and rather stout
The Lord's been good to Jim
since surrendering his doubt

Started reminiscing
'bout a visit way before
in this same old church house
forty years ago, or more

Large cabin, high beamed ceilings
same pews to break his fall
Back then Jim didn't trust a soul
even maker of us all

What a long road it'd been
since he was last here
So much pain and tribulation
loneliness and fear

Running down a weathered face
were tears he could not hide
'bout 'foolish spent' vitality
when youth was on his side

Wondered if he stole a piece
of the church that he revered
Would it restore vigor past
if he held it near?

Startled church was over
Jim stood up with a grin
"Fancy, wishful dreams made me
forget why I came in!"

While walking through the lot he spied
an old oak by his truck
Jim cut a snippet off a branch 
and brought it home for luck

Night Owl

Dark and safe, the sinking night
Emotions stir before dawn's light
proceeds to hide the awakening heart
be it whole or only part
Alive! Awake and questioning
the truth concerning everything

Before the moon sets down below
the restless soul longs to know
true meaning of this pulse inside
that which no one can confide

The soul retreats with morning's glow
never to find what is to know

Disappointing Love

love unrequited
burns like a moth to a flame
alas forgotten

Owl

Dark and safe, the sinking flight
Emotions stir, before dawn's light
proceeds to hide the awakening heart
be it whole or only part
Alive! Awake, and questioning
the truth concerning everything
Before the moon sets down below
the restless soul longs to know
true meaning of this pulse inside
that which no one could confide
The moon retreats with morning's glow
never to find what is to know
