Wayward, frolic into left wings
That which brings me different
Wave of introspection
Putting myself into harm’s way
If I stay where I’m at
I could become nothing
But I desire to be more than
So I harvest a new timeline
Belonging to myself only
But truth be known
It’s just a left wing 
Nut...

What Rhymes With Cupid Other Than Stupid
I am the ocean
You are a cave
I am entitled 
But you,sir, are brave
Into your crevices 
I will creep
I am vast 
But you are deep
I am the season 
You are the reason
I am the horizon 
You are a well
I am the hour
You are a bell
I try...

Other Than That
11/11/2020


Unlike most, just speaking facts
At times I met my match
And had to start over from scratch

Wasn't out to put others on blast
I'm just not one to hide behind a mask
Focused on the task
A helping hand was lent, regardless of if asked
This life moves oh so...

Free Cee But Other Than That Mrs Lincoln How Was the Show
OTHER THAN THAT MRS. LINCOLN,HOW WAS THE SHOW?

Gettysburg has long since grown cold by too many graves
Because a tall man yearned to free the slaves
Those who white thought darkness a curse
As John Wilkes Booth stood ready to rehearse
How dare this man with a top hat...

Other Than You-- (Part I)
Again I am at my favorite coffee shop, sipping cappichino wanting
 to write about something other than you.
  Wanting half-heartedly to move to a different page in my life.
 Needing someone else to fill that void you have left.
 When I shut my eyes,...

Other Than Me
only you will walk on my streets
the darkness will end

to follow the traces of abandonment
it will be finished in one place
gave a whistling mark
nobody will not know other than me

only you will smile from mirrors
ices will melt

a hidden hand wiil touch to my soul
the dream...

I Used To Be a Super Man, Now I Am Nothing Other Than a Regu
My stomach is hurting 'cause I haven't eaten.
My feet, they are swollen from sittin' up sleepin'.
I'm cold and I'm damp from the wind and the rain
And I won't last long 'cause my life's in the short lane.
l've once had a home,full of love and of...

None Other Than Kelly Ann

When Trump and his circus came to town
We knew that he would be a big clown
And many of them there had stressed
With him they never could be impressed.

Trump sure had raised a lot of static
About budget cuts meant to be dramatic
A...

Other Than You (Part Iii)
We have exchanged few words today for I know you have the need to problem solve, fire watch deep in your mental cave. 
 
I shut my eyes,  to take in the atmosphere, there is something alluring about your study. A fire burning,the arid...

None Other Than Tom Sessions

Should see home and prominent possessions,
Owned by none other than Tom Sessions;
Are Great by mile;
All Southern style;
With ornate objects in his many obsessions.

I even like this one myself. Also like 
the way his holds...

Nothing Other Than Time
Time, time is the cliché.
Time decides how we live,
Time is short, things take time,
Lost time. 
It's time to defy time....

For Someone Other Than M
In the early light of dawn 
I want your hair 
To fall all over me 
Like a Rand McNally road map 

And I 
Want to travel 
All those highways and byways 
Exploring your mountains and valleys 
East, west, north and south 

Especially 
Those hot humid...

Who Do You Believe In Or Faith Other Than God
If you are wandering into a dead end street
All out of hope
No one to guide you
Let your instinct take whole
A spirit will complete you when you allow
So if you don't have a clue who it is
Just be greatfull and take the bow...

Other Than You (Part Ii)
Leaning against the door frame. Slight smile on the face of this slip of a woman. In her colorful turtleneck sweater
 rising over a slender neck to greet the curve of her jaw..
 Long brown hair now streaked with grey piled high on her head....

Words That Start With L Other Than Love
This beautiful dream is nothing more than my lingering longing confession built to spill I languish to loudly on this lazy summer afternoon
Licking the blood off my papercuts...
