my patience is slowly
wearing down
I can not think
I can not speak
you drive me nuts!
my opinions don't matter
to you
you are always in control
and i am--
just a puppet on a string
playing your games
Our bare feet have shared wet kisses with tar
Our dreams overwhelming every wound or scar
We never thought we would reach this far
Honey, I just can’t forget how we fancied a car
How we prayed perpetually before the morning star
Now that we have His blessing
You’ve become an expert in driving
You drive me nuts
You drive me mad
You drive me insane
You drive me bananas
You drive me crazy
You have forgotten our home
You just can’t drive me home!
For had you driven your heart into mine
And taken a tour through my feelings,
You would have explored a statue of feelings
Sweet, old feelings I miss from you...

I look below
Barbwire fence
Sixteen feet tall
My M-14 in hand
Locked and loaded
One round
In the chamber
Sighted in
Ready to fire
Motion on
The west wall
Sirens blaring
Searchlights spinning
I zero in
My Target
Darn woodpeckers
They never stop
Pecking
No worries
I just sit and listen
I’m a goofy guy and I like to eat bugs
Creepy, crawly, I think they are just so ugs
They live in corners and underneath my bed
I think they are gone but they are all up in my head
They drive me nuts and keep me up at night
I cover up because they always put up a fight
They sleep all day and come out every night
They don’t eat my food, but I still lose my appetite
The big ones are so big and nasty
When I catch them, sometimes they are so tasty
Some nights we all have ourselves a party
Wake up hung over, now they are so ugly
On the wall, just want to run, stupid little bug
Sometimes I think I just need a hug
Stupid bugs
There are so many things I could rant about,
things that drive me nuts with irritation.
Sometimes I just want to scream and shout!
God help me sometimes with this generation!
Printers make it so hard to print on two sides,
What the heck is up with that renoun Dell?
Geez, why can’t all printers make it reverse inside,
I swear I’m going to create a REAL printer to sell!
Or how swear words are too easily used,
it’s so trashy to hear them over and over again.
Swearing too much doesn't make me amused,
especially when dirty words are used by women!
Come on, blaming a waitress for a bad meal?
This just happened to me at Outback yesterday.
Don’t customers take in consideration how they feel?
It could cause the poor girl to have a bad day.
You know what really frustrates me sometimes?
When I slice myself while shaving my legs like I do.
It’s a real problem and I feel it’s a terrible crime…
I could rant all day about these things…can’t you???

I've imagined it a thousand times
all the things that go with 'us'
loving him is truly sublime,
but I'm thinking so much it'll drive me nuts
he's constantly filling my head
his laugh, his voice
all other thoughts promptly leave in his stead
bound, shackled, they have no choice
our time together is of sweet bliss
the tension is astonishing,
the anticipation of the elusive kiss
of which the very thought leaves my heart pounding
with him I'm left flustered
without, he clouds my mind
a storm of him which blusters
I've imagined it a thousand times
mi amore, stay strong for me, mi amore, show me how to be as strong as you can be
mi amore, why can't we be together in this world dancing together eternally
Tell me amore, do you love me so, why can I not let you go
Alas amore I say to you hasta la muerte, I will you true
You drive me nuts but keep me alive, amore, tell me will you feel the same
Or do i drive you too insane, do I make you blood turn, do I cause your chest to turn
Amore, I adore the way you are, you see not what I can see
I see the power you hide from me, though it is hidden well
My heart is deep in your spell, I had forgotten long ago
How to love, and how to live, as i see your life drain
I feel nothing except your pain, mi amore, I pray you see
You are the wind beneath my feet in the air
Even if I can see no face, I know it is you right there
Holding me above the ground, giving me the adrenalin for my heart to pound
Dreaming sleeplessly
I'm in a deep sleep regardless
Of what you say thotlessly
Damage the distress in progress
You sent me letters and emails
Thank you...I'd like to say Thank You
Every time I walk - five thousand fails
Thank you for not making me blue, boo
In perspective, I'm trying so hard
Yet, I'm still this pathetic bard
I feel and see music
It's so darn epic and enthusiastic
So therapeutic and exquisite like a perfect pic
Flicker the lights on and off
I guess I wasn't enuff
I suppose I like the pain ruff
Hey, be quiet, silent tears that fall from the inside
You can only see my outside
Fading like the atmosphere
The blue and grey waters of the oceanside
Leaves me with no fear,
For I am your chocolate,
Wrapped up in chandeliers of hopes...
Wrapping paper isn't that expensive
But, my love isn't cheap...
Let that sink deep
Get me a ride
By your side,
My beautiful future bride...
Subside from my side afterwards...
I see words and letters backwards...
Dyslexia does drive me nuts...
No if's, and's or but's about it...but I don't hate my guts
I'm becoming the new me
Let me be me and set me free
Hello, all my fuzzy friends
Embarrassed, but I gottah tell you that cats and dogs are my buddies
Loving my family and friends...so...much
Live life to the fullest and to the best of your ability
Ohhh...what a world full of positivity and negativity...what a messed-up world
Krazy kool kats drive me nuts
Idolizing their cuteness and their noisiness
Totally tricked by their fickle ways
Trained to make an excuse that it's "one of those days"
Yeah...my pets are the best and cutest!
I am going to write a funny poem now
All this figuring out is driving me bananas
Have you ever thought why God is so hard to figure out?
He likes to drive me nuts
I am beginning to think so
So now I don't want to do it any more
Any way the wind goes is fine with me
Comsi comsa lol
He likes to test my limits I'm beginning to think
Well this girl has a limit
And she has it
Wonder who would He bother next?
Because everything is smooth sailing here
He got it
He makes all the decisions
No input from me
That is just fine and dandy
NOT NOOOOOOOOOO
The way you sit and comb your hair,
with languid strokes and shoulders bare;
your gazing at the looking glass,
reveals your pedigree and class.
The way you walk with swaying hips,
the way you kiss with melting lips.
I love the way you come to bed;
it’s in your smile. No words are said.
And furthermore, as time goes by,
no mists have melted from the eye.
If truth be told, no ifs, no buts;
it’s very clear - you drive me nuts!

Struggle with the loneliness
gun in my hand
Thinking of the cold steel bullet
just laying there within
Picture your face
throughout the grim, dark day
If you could see me like this
I wonder what you'd say
Thinking back of the times
and knowing you're the one who left
That's one thing to drive me nuts
one thing I can not forget
No one is around
I've looked hard and long
The streets in my heart are empty
cause everyone is gone
I could take it all away
to not take another breath
Falling so fast
without having a safety net
Feeling of the cold steel bullet
thought of you is the last I think
Into the fiery pits of hell
for eternity I shall sink
I'm not sure why!???
if I love you,
just because,
you make me laugh.....
or.....just because
you remind me to plug in
GPS on my way home,
so you....
don't have to worry sick to your stomach,
did I make it to my home,
Or , just
I love you....because
you have kissed me ,
like no one else will ever do.....
Why do I love you,if I do?
even though you drive me nuts,
when you say I'll call you,
and guess what,
you never do,
so ,please , don't ask me why,
I don't even know ,
and don't care to know,
but ,
I think ,it's just because ,
you,
make me laugh
like no one else before,!!!

Uhh, hun how I wish I could show you how much I love you,you make me smile when I feel
like crying you make me laugh when I am down.Even though u drive me nuts that's why I love
you,you keep me on my toes which is why I love you so much.Kiss me in the rain,act like a
nut with me .Be crazy catch me when I fall.You make me feel like no one has before I just
wish I could show you.You call me beautiful which means the world.You hold me when I cry
never let go because that would hurt me way to much to stand.When you kiss me it feels
like I could fly.When you hug me don't let anyone hurt me.
Tick tock tick tock
Out window with that clock
Each and every frigging day
Tells me to get out of hay
Brushing teeth
Breath smelling so sweet
Another dam hole in sock
Oh how I hate that clock
Blue jean entire
God I'm really tired
Clean sand bugers out of eyes
In rush to say goodbye's
Gas light engine on again
This crisis is such a sin
Scrounging pockets for a buck
Pulling out lint what such luck
Morning greetings from the boss
When all I wanted to do was stay in bed and toss
Paper work piling up
No coffee to fill my cup
Tic tock tick tock
Come on hurry up dam clock
For shopping still has to be done
And let me tell you it's no fun
Kids husband dogs and cats
Drive me nuts like a pack of rats
What can one do
But not to come unglued
So I want to give a big thanks
To my alarm clock that doesn't play pranks
And gets me up and out that door
So I can pay for those things I truely adore
