“a mute tongue is a slave to silence” - Silent One

You rouse the proud, sung praise all wowed
     Who draws the crowd and plays so loud?
Sway befits a rock star jam

You’ve reached a certain age when life has set you free
You can cock a hoop at protocol; do things that aren't PC
You can swim in just your underpants; be a gentleman or lout
Speak your mind...

THE PRINCESS AND THE SWAN

As the storm raged, there were several knocks on the door,
She stood the completely drenched, from her head down to the floor.
This stunning princess was looking for somewhere to stay
Her name...

October Country's the darkened moonlight sky is reflected in your eyes.
You have nothing hidden, and do not wear a disguise.
Whenever did you learn wisdom, and the golden keys
to becoming wise?  You no longer are...

Alone he stands silently but is not at his best,
And life it has crushing blows on him, hammering kept.
Thoughts keep flooding his mind as never ever,
And no one but him can fathom his life’s color,...

MAESTRO

He knew all along that it would be pressure
Not just to conduct but bring out the best 
This brass band from a mining community
Trying to keep it alive, almost their duty
An almost forgotten tradition, going...

I dated Mary Browne from out of town
 She was a lovely lass.
 She'd auburn hair and freckles and a perky little ass .
 The donkey carried her to Sunday school
 And all seemed well...

A hot and summer evening breeze
In jest tickled the napping bees
Incandescent, of floating musk
Shadows like dancing glow at dusk.

Hugging pine trees from branch to branch
Down on the grass gaily they hopped
Such a beauty I'd like...

The lovely smell of roses,
upon a Summer breeze!
Robins in the treetops,
singing happy melodies!

Precious purple, violets,
dandelions, in gold!
Queen Annes Lace on hilltops,
are treasures, to behold!

Spice Bush with its fragrance,
dogwoods bloom in white!
Bluebells in their sunny glow,
it's...

You are a water lily in a wetland,
The scholars surround you,
They did not expect to find beauty,
In a place like this,
Where did you come from?
With your eyes greyer than glass,
And your mind like the sun,
You...

as I neared it from afar,
still not so near it and more far than near,
it seemed a little grey at corners and middle,
as I walked for it nearer,

Another year older
Yet I feel just the same
Except my hair's turned greyer
and my knees are getting lame

I once had buns of steel
My mind was like a trap
But now that I am older
I don't put up...

Is it over, is it really now over,
Are we just dreaming or simply misled,
Can we resume the rest of our lives
Outside these four walls and the shade of our bed.

Can we now fill our lungs...

I'm really much too young to get old
Something's drastically out of whack
I'm still this handsome, charismatic stud
Why's my body giving me flack?

A strange bump just formed on my neck
Don't think it was there yesterday
My hair...

WANDERING IN WINTER WONDERLAND 

Season’s face dons new hues at nature’s call,
spring’s verdant foliage changes color,
shimmers in last golden glow of the fall,
listens to chilling northern wind’s whisper
in rustle of leaves swan song of winter
as...

He doesn’t like to socialize, nor does
he laugh at funny shows the way I do.
He suffers chronic pain and frets because
he’s worked so long and hard his whole life through.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
But man is slaved to fate,
No fun or spontaneity
Unless you speculate

You can’t keep a good man down
The candle’s sturdy wick,
Yet alcohol and ageing
Seems to do...
