Like a late evening buzz
There he was
As I got in my car
And didn't get very far
As I hit the light
Another one was off to the right
I wanted that light to turn green
For this one looked a little mean
And at the store
There standing were four more
Barely letting me get by
As I plucked the coal from his eye
Slipping out the back door
Around the corner there was two more
I got in and hit the gas
And like seven more did I pass
They're taking over the whole neighborhood
These snowmen, they're up to no good
Then back at my parking lot
Who, but old Mr. Frosty does trot
He smiled with that silly little wink
Then yelled, "don't for one moment think
And don't even try getting slick
For I'm on to that old greenhouse trick
As off he and his gang went
But the message had been sent
These snowmen are here to stay
Hey Frosty, "wait till May"
How do you know me? How can you tell?
How can you read my heart so well?
Did God place his hands over my soul?
I will never forget that connection unfold...
I trembled inside..yet I knew from the start,
You knew me without knowing..you read my heart,
And I wish for one day to have my brother back,
I would weep to explain exactly where I was at,
Words left unspoken...yet you already knew,
The love was very real and my heart spoke the truth,
You stared and stared like I was a mystery to see,
But what you saw was the resemblance you need,
I knew it was much bigger than any words I could say,
We are different from the rest..our eyes see through the pain,
We know the process...we understand the time,
We're willing and patient...we have the same mind,
We question..we search..in love we believe,
Our strength goes beyond what we can see,
It was like looking at my twin...it took my breath away,
You could say all the words I couldn't get out to say,
The same heart..the same mind..the same questions we seek,
The only difference was you took your time away before me,
So now I can tell you who I truly am,
When our eyes met..it was a part of God's plan,
It was love and simplicity...it was never a complex role,
It was about sharing the same loss..the same pain that we know,
It was healing to my heart to hear you speak,
That there was actually someone out there with the same heart as me,
The one who dug deeper to see..the one who truly cares,
Who would go out of his way to search and stare,
Of course it's intimidating to meet the same soul,
To face yourself in the mirror and in healing becoming whole,
I will see you again...I will come back home,
But you won't recognize this heart until you're alone,
All the stories and characters and leading roles...
Are opposite of the kingdom that we call home,
Those stories played out with earthly needs,
Our home goes beyond what our eyes will see..
I love working in the bookstore where I am constantly surprised
as I get to watch slices of life play out before my eyes…
I heard them before I saw them…a mother and her daughter too.
“Hey Mom”, I heard the daughter say, “let me hold the door for you”.
The daughter stood there smiling while opening the door wide…
as her mom, now using a walker, slowly stepped inside.
“Hey Mom! Do you want to look for a book?” her daughter ask her twice.
"Come to think of it”, her mother said, “a dictionary would be nice.”
I showed them a used dictionary, the mother’s face turned red…
“It’s just like the one you had growing up!”
“We’ll take it!” the daughter said.
“Hey Mom, do you want to look for another book?” the daughter asked
“If you want…you know you can.”
“No, I’m tired dear I think I’d like to sit down and talk to this young man.”
(I looked around the store, no other customers did I see
I happily concluded as this mother smiled…she was talking about me!)
She sat, we talked together in voices kind and calm
Meanwhile throughout the store we heard her daughter call “Hey Mom”.
“Hey Mom, are you sure you don’t want another book?”
“Hey Mom, here’s something you don’t want to miss.”
“Hey Mom I remember reading this when I was young.”
“Hey Mom take a look at this.”
The mother smiled as she heard her daughters questions, her calls…her pleas…
“It’s nice to have a daughter.” she said, “who takes good care of me.
“Hey Mom, do you want to get some ice cream?” the daughter asked as they headed out the store…
“Hey Mom, watch your step…be careful as you’re walking out the door.”
I love how life is cyclical because as the mother finally cleared the door
another mother held it for her daughter as she ran into the store…
“Hey Mom, can I get a book?” her daughter asked…
“there’s so many in here I haven’ t read…
Her mother smiled as she looked at me..
“Of course you can.” She said.
And as the Mom passed by the counter…
With grace…with confidence…with aplomb
A voice rang out from the back of the store…
“Hey Mom! Come here!…”Hey Mom!”
Hey, Lyric Man
My praise...don’t ban
Cause if you do
I’ll kick your can! ;)
You’re awfully nice
I’ll pay the price
to read your words
not once, but twice
Your thoughts you share
Tempered with care
You sprinkle sugar
Everywhere
You've got the beat
Each rhyme, a treat
I must indulge
a taste, so sweet
With heart and soul
You reach your goal
To make us feel
Complete and whole
So here’s to you
Hope this will do
To let you know
You’re special...too.
Your words: a drug!
So, yes! Feel smug!
with words of mine....
I send... this.....hug!

Echo poem and a small thank you for entering Hot Velvet, a tribute to me, in Silent One's contest. :) You rock, LM!
I'm making an observation
Bout the state of the world today
This is what I've come up with
In my own inimitable way
Maybe it's cuz I'm an old guy
It seems there's much more strife
There doesn't seem, like years ago
As much laughter in everyone's life
I know there'll always be conflict
Somewhere around the world
This nation or that one gets aggressive
Controversy begins to swirl
Then one country threatens the other
Military action follows soon
We're like a bunch of nasty children
Yelling, “Hey that's my balloon!”
Seems like there isn't a cure for this
But there's always hope I guess
That mankind will see the utter futility
And realize it doesn't make any sense!
Torpidity encompasses him
as he walks out the door.
He has heard the excuses
a million times before.
The strength in his heart
is loosing the fight.
He doesn't know if
he can take another night.
She tells him she'll stop.
Goes for another drop.
The elixir that makes her cry.
She pours another,
..doesn't know why.
Then she screams and cries.
Tells many more lies.
She's loosing her will,
as she looks for a pill.
She finds it on the floor.
As he walked back in the door.
He cannot deal,
..with all the deception.
He sits down at the table,
to ask her a question.
He says, "I have loved you forever and a day,
I'm not really sure what I wan't to say,
Why do you drink and swallow those pills?
If you do it again, I will head for the hills.
The time has come for this to stop.
Don't pick up that drink, not even a drop.
I am taking you to a recovery place.
In there you will have to face..
..the Demons that haunt you, every single one.
It's going to be scary and not very fun.
I love you so much and I cannot explain,.
..and don't understand..why your in so much pain.
All can say is that I hope that you,
Find the strength, to LOVE YOU, TOO!.
Hey Giraffe, I wonder how tall you are!
In height no other animal, on par
You're the tallest of all seen so far
Though not popular, to me you're a star
Some think you are lean and lanky
But I love you as you're never cranky
None can accuse you of being whacky
Shall I call you by the name Jackie?
You can reach up to any tall tree
Everywhere you can roam free
On flatlands you're rarely seen grazing
With your long neck you're amazing!
Love to watch you with your head up in sky,
Chewing green leaves stationed high.
Flanked with a coat of tawny spots,
Skillfully God has assembled your parts.
Hey man
Why are you always on my mind
Here and there, once again
I can't relax ' cause of you
Hey man
Why are you as hot as that bright light
I feel like that damn butterfly
Attracted by the cruel fire
I'm close to you, my thoughts are full
Of lovely vicious things
We feel it clear, we are almost near
"impress me" is our theme
Hey man
Why are you holding me so tight
You say a word - I have goosebumps
You're so close - I'm passing out
Hey man
Why am I loving you so loud
I use your name as talisman
I dive deeply into your charm
I know that everybody has their own stars*
Their own stars
Their own stars
You are my stars
The universe conspired to help me find us**
Find us
Find us
I've found us

Someone said, Hey Christopher
Someone said, “Hey Christopher,
what’s up with all this love
It seems in every poem
that is all you’re thinking of
Why are you always dreaming,
why is it you can’t see
That love is just a legend,
a made up fallacy
The world is filled with evil,
don’t you watch the news
CNN or NBC
or others you can choose
Clinton is a liar,
Trump is just a creep
They’ll both destroy the nation
for fortunes that they reap
Murders by the thousands,
death is in the streets
I can’t believe you haven’t seen
within the many tweets
Our water is polluted,
we’re choking on the air
Hate is growing rapidly,
why are you not aware
Prices through the ceiling,
paychecks in the ground
Protesters are screaming,
you can hear them all around
There’s war in other countries,
servers have been hacked
Innocent bystanders
are caught in the attack
Little kids are crying,
not enough to eat
Begging just to make it,
sleeping in the street
So tell me, will you Christopher,
what’s up with what you write
Every poem filled with love,
morning, noon and night”
I looked at him a moment,
this person I now see
And then replied, “I’m sorry sir,
were you talking to me?
I was writing out a poem
for the one I do adore
I didn’t hear you talking,
could you say it all once more?”
He just walked away shaking his head
Yeah you
Play me a melody that’s smooth
My heart needs music that will soothe
My mind in the senses
Sounds embraces
Racing to new heights
Moving on from a plight
It’s a lady friend I remember
We danced being loss in the music
That was once upon time
We dined and drank wine
The environment with the dazzle ball
The scene that was our song
That dance floor was where we belonged
The Piano man hit all the right notes
Those ivories had tempo of their own
There was no need to take a vote
Every dancing step was our jolt
It didn’t matter whether it was uptown or downtown
We were a couple in whatever town
Every note a sound to hear
It made our love so sincere
We kissed being our own sound track
Piano man, take me back to a time that was
I am visualizing in my mind now
A time I will never forget
A loss being my only regret
The music is only a reminder
I was the open lock and she had the key and entered
Heart to heart
My moment in time
Forever yours
All time
Thanks for the memories piano man
