Premium Member Keep Your Hand On My Shoulder
Let me not say hurtful things,
Or shameful actions do.
Let my words not sow deceit,
And thus bring shame to You.

Let my words bring only peace,
And my actions too;
That I may walk with head held high,
And only friends accrue;

For there are those who look for faults,
And point...

Premium Member Put Your Head On My Shoulder
I went to the dance, all alone and shy
I sat in the corner, I have no idea why
They all seemed to be laughing and high
Dancing and having good times
As I sat in the corner, singing like a mime
I saw her over by the exit door
Tears...

Premium Member White Shoulder Dreams
Oh the images we freeze in time

the sweet, sweet scents that bring recall

the sharp and painful longing that belongings bring

for those lost or lingering on sheets of lavender

on shelves of shaving mugs - Old Spice

soap roped in shower stalls.



Oh the images warmed and torn, sun...

Premium Member Gently On the Shoulder
I know some may
prefer the way
  of folks direct, up front

Some love panache
forthright and brash,
  outspoken as you want

Some may prefer 
the crash and blur   
  of histrionics bolder 

But as for me 
I'd rather be

Cry On My Shoulder
cry on my shoulder
cry a river of tears
let me walk with you in the dark
let me concur your fears
you say your fine
you say leave me alone
im coming to rescue you
you tend to be accident prone
when your drunk
when your high
let me save you from yourself
...just cry

The Chip On My Shoulder
The chip on my shoulder, was the missing piece of the cross ---
Jesus took it off on that day, I accepted Him as my Holy Boss ---
People often told me that someday someone would knock it off ---
All I would do is smile, when they...

There's An Angel On Your Shoulder
Be at peace my brethren
Both younger and older
No matter your struggles
An angel rests upon your shoulders

The messengers,warriors of God
Virtuous beings of life and light
Dressed in light of golden armor
on wings take flight

In our darkest hour of despair
In our ears they whisper words of hope and...

Premium Member Angel On My Shoulder
Angels on my right shoulder
Battling devils on the left
Ever guiding my actions
Saving my soul from bereft

Angels e'er amongst us
Like Clarence on Stewart's bridge
Softly urge us to avoid
Falling from grace at the ridge

My special angel's sweet voice
Sounds so much like my mother's
But you have an angel...

And She Wept Oh So Gently Upon My Shoulder
Bring me dawn, soft
like the first
breath of Spring.
Bring me dusk, brisk
like the Morning’s
fresh cry,
like the Ocean’s
spray caressing my
skin.
Bring me voice,
shaped into a
lullaby,
dampened with cars
and carts from Old
Shanghai.
Bring me time, so we
can be older,
right here, right
now, watching the
seconds fly.
Bring me love, when
my heart grows
colder.

And she wept...

My Shoulder
My Shoulder

My shoulders
Hold the care of someone else
No warning

Heavy weight
Responsibilities grow
Caregiving

Tasks for two
Now are mine to meddle through
Keep Control

Remember
All appointments and the meds
Important

I can feel
The stress upon my shoulders
It grows now

No easy task
I strain to make the effort
Rewarding

Not easy either
Daily challenges await
Days go by

My love...

Premium Member No Shoulder To Cry On
Tears seem to be falling more often now,
as I lay in my bed, alone and helpless,
the darkness and the silence are with me,
my only comfort, offers no real help,
the clock on the wall ticking endlessly,
as my life ticks away, the minutes like years,
I lay on...

Puppy On My Shoulder
I never knew four and a half pounds could be so heavy
A squirming little bundle of sunshine dynamite
Walking around my neck like it was the derby
My first love weighs in at twenty five pounds of envy
And she is standing on my toes wanting the puppy...

Angel On My Shoulder
Angel on my shoulder
has been there from my birth
he's always there beside me
he knows what I am worth.
Angel on my shoulder
picks me up should I fall
his love is never ending
he's strong and ten feet tall.
Angel on my shoulder
has always been my guide
he's there when I'm...

Demon On Your Shoulder, Angel On the Other
This one has been a labor of love, took nearly 3 weeks to write. Just couldn't get the meter right.
But with that said I think it works now.


Demonize the evil, to welcome in the good
A youthful born upheaval, deciding where you stood,
Rebellion touted over, honoring...
