The path for you was already laid down
My wishing well was overflowing and I fell in and drowned
Heaven laughed at me and wouldn’t let me stay
Hell was overcrowded and turned me away
I’ve been there and back putting up with pain and strife
I need your love and your kiss to bring me back to life
I met the boatman he had a hole in his bow
Then came death and he said he was busy now
Allah was preaching and Buddha had to go to a lunch
Where should I go next I hadn’t a clue or hunch
I’ve been there and back putting up with pain and strife
I need your love and your kiss to bring me back to life
I’ve been there and back putting up with pain and strife
I need your love and your kiss to bring me back to life
Shiva was dancing and the Greeks were mad
I just wanted to get back to the world I had
I’ve been there and back putting up with pain and strife
I need your love and your kiss to bring me back to life
I didn’t belong here I was lost and I was in doubt
Then all the religious deities joined together to throw me out
They were together Catholic Protestant Muslim Buddhist and Jew
Then I woke up and I was together again with you
I’ve been there and back putting up with pain and strife
I need your love and your kiss to bring me back to life
Woke up yesterday morning with a dreadful thought -
fall property tax was due last November and this is
the end of January. I am a full-grown delinquent.
I am also recently widowed; my Mister always did taxes.
But God had brought it to my attention (who else,
could I hold responsible?) so I faced the music.
Went to the bank where they quickly advised
me - they don't accept early payment until April/May.
THEN at my confession, they don't take past-due taxes either.
The clerk's office downtown says the tax office has moved
to the county, only seven miles out at the new River Ridge.
BUT they've not been there and aren't really sure where.
With God as my pilot and maps on my cell phone,
I discover the yet under-developed GatewayCampus,
taking delight in God's mysteries of memory and momentum.
Love is strange..
Love what a strange tale it weaves.
I can never see it for the trees.
I go every day as if blind.
I don’t see the meaning of its charm.
And yet people tell it each other every day.
And not long after leave each other, go their own away!
Its like some form of disease it makes people act silly.
Or is it me? Am, I just not Meant to be happy.
Yet I love being alone most of the time.
I know I am intelligent witty and have charm.
Who am I kidding. I am just me. Arrogant and Crappy.
Sometimes I try to be part of the human race.
But too many of them never show me grace.
They say why don’t you smile be happy.
But I am not false I am true so my face will show a frown.
So lets dissect this emotion? Or is it just a name.
Love is a fools game. Been there done that.
Got the t-shirt got the baggage and the baseball cap.
I know how to kiss, how to make a girl go wow.
Make the hair stand on her head. Make her have a hot brow.
She tingles all over at my touch. My words make her lips pant.
Its been a long time since I felt any pain so maybe I cant.
Speak the words to make you fall in love with me.
I love your soul we should be one. I want the stars to shine in your eyes.
Your pulse to race and see the glow in your face. Your sensual smile.
AS you lock my lips with yours. In a passionate embrace.
To tell me to be gentle, be sweet, take your time it isn’t a race.
To hold you in my arms your body so hot you burn my spirit.
Is this love that sweeps across mind as you begin to up the pace.
You say I am the one you want to hold your head.
As we fall asleep in your bed no naughty time.
You drank too much wine. I wont take advantage of your trust.
That isn’t me besides what’s the rush. I Know you have a crush on me.
So who knows will it, wont it. Become maybe a we?
The whitchamagooey on a Saturday night
Was waving and spitting at everyone in sight
spit landed on my brother who shrieked like a girl
We laughed and tossed him and gave him a whirl
Where did the whitchamagooey come from we asked?
No one knew, but he had an agenda, and was up to the task
He painted the sidewalks pink with polka dotted hearts.
While he did this, he let out sixty thousand delicate farts.
We were laughing so hard now, we had such a great time
My father gave the whitchamagooey six bucks and a dime
Buy some lunch on us, he told the whitchamagooey
The beast gave him a bite on the ear and said “you may call me Louie”
We had never had such a great time on a Saturday night
We were laughing all the way home, the moon big and bright
Our mother wanted the story, but you would have had to have been there
The whitchamagooey gave us laughter, while others got a big scare.
Dear Lord
I turn to you today
to take all theese emotions and feelings away
I have liked a guy for sometime
and thought in your time all things would be fine
he still is huming and haring
and is still unsure what to do
so Lord I turn it all over to you
I carnt keep going on like this one minute hes talking to me
then he is not
it's time to move on and time for this guy I forgot
I know you asked me to wait a while
but it is dragging me down and taking away my smile
I have tried to be a good friend and always have been there
but is still as if he just does not care
I carn't stay in this situation there is nothing left I can do
but Dear Lord
I turn it all over to you
I will focous on what lies ahead
and focous all my love and energys on you instead
I Love you Lord with all my heart and there is no doubt
I know this guy I can live without
you are first in my heart Lord now and ever
you love me always and will leave me never
so hear my plea as I pray
I am sory Lord but from this situation i now have to walk away Amen
An ethereal vision
Iridescent her hues
Locks of spun gold
A mermaid I'm told
This mythical creature
from Atlantis it's been said
In the blink of an eye
In the minutest breath
In the tenderest heart beat
I was feeling bereft
Did I really catch a glimpse
or was it wishful thinking
Searching the horizon
with eyelids a blinking
No signs were left
There was nothing - no inkling
As searching in vain
For proof she had been there
upon some distant rocks
gently combing golden locks

HONOURABLE MENTION
When do you decide to stand and fight
When do you not let them walk all over you
When do you take pride in you
When will it all come around
After you have cried useless tears
Lost sleep
Revolve on what ifs
The secneios all so scary
What will it take
When you are Contemplating suicide
When you are feeling so low even those around can't bring you above the deep
Those few you let influence you
Happingly take their feet on your face
I don't care what you have done
How you have failed
You dont deserve to be treated like crap
You are way to special
Way to beautiful
Way to wonderful
To let others take you down
Fuel your demons
I've been there at the end of a rope literally
I've tried to end all their suffering
But it is their suffering not yours
Not for them to decide
This is your life be grateful be gracious be strong
Carry on hoist your weight above your head and fight
Because drowning is not the answer
You are much more.

PERMANENTLY!
Where were you when I was three, where were you when I was crying out for thee, I lived in the bosom of the sea but no one came and look for me, I learn to fend for myself and when the times get tough, I had to take care of myself and make up my own bed.
Where were you when the bomb explode in the town and the people took cover on the ground, I had to crawl on my belly to the sea and bury my face in my hands so that I could breath and if it wasn’t for the snail in the sand, I would perish in the clustered air. I recall this moment so that you can feel what nature has in store for me.
Where were you when I was hungry, cold and sad, and all I needed was an helping hand, I wasn’t asking for much, all I needed was your trust, and now that I am here you have turned my life into a nightmare because I have nothing to share. I will live the life that was destined to be until the universe set me free.
Shadows of the evening creeps upon the mystic shore with silent feet walking in an unfamiliar space leaving footprints in the sand and a message that no one could understand, the water rides upon the shore and somewhere a tiny hole in the ground that leads to nowhere became their biggest fear.
Strangers spread out all over the beach sitting in little chairs absorbing the stench of the salty evening air; the sun passes through the wavering clouds and absorb the moisture from the wet sand but the boisterous waves keep rolling on and somewhere in the underworld ancient souls buried with time return to the surface and mingle with the universe to break the wicked curse.
There is a hole in the ground that no one can see, it is the hole that leads to the bottom of the sea. When mankind become exhausted on the land and the poison of the earth pollutes the air, that is the only place to escape to breath fresh air; the pilgrims know where it is but the travelers are still searching for it beneath the bridge. It has been there for many year and nature has more to share.
Where were you when you were trapped in the sea, where were you when I called you to come and rescue me?
Where were you!
You Found Me
My love, I haven’t seen you in a while
I long for your touch, for I will be humble as a child
While the candles burn in the night
I will wait for you in the light
One day we will meet as emotions runs deep
Once I was lost, but now I can see
High above in a beautiful blue sky
All of my worries inside, have passed on by
Perhaps it is meant to be
For a beautiful woman to be next to me
I truly adore you in the fire
For you have rescued me, you're the only one I desire
Who am I to ever deserve you
You reached out to me and said hello
Underneath all of my anxiety
You believed in me, held me up by the sea
You are the light and spirit that I need
We will finally be together as one evidently
For you have told me some dark secrets to be
There are no words to describe the love you have given me
Together we walk along the river
As the reflections of the light from the water glimmer
I want to hold you close deeply
From all of your past troubles I want you to be free
I want this bond to be forever
For your skin is so delicate like a feather
I don’t want anything to ever come in between us
Your eyes sparkle like sappier just like your touch
I just wanted to write you a new letter
In a song, you have made my life better
Deeply you have decided to give me a chance
From my heart to yours, I want this to last
I have finally found the one with determination
You have always been there, for you are my inspiration
The song you play is a wonderful melody
All that we have shared will be a sweet memory
