Few witnesses to your young private tears at the age of ten
Why me Why me
No amount of hugs or consolation could provide a reason or answer
I know if I had been there
My heart too would have shattered in a million pieces
Your brother never forgot those Why me tears in the night
Going through unthinkable ordeal foreign to any of us
So young Why me indeed
Years toughened you up till you traded those tears for strength
And people would ask why you were always so lucky
I think it started off with those Why me tears
Then Lady Luck came along to compensate
Thank goodness you were surrounded with love and pampering
You pulled through and knew you could make the most of it
You bit into this crazy world as you would into a juicy red apple
Why me became why not me
And you didn’t let anything stop you
You had a million dreams
You had goals and they were all out there for the taking
And you went for it You went for it all
And I loved you all the more for it

Thunderstorm crashing and hurricanes thrashing,
Tossed and torn by the weather that we try to navigate together,
Window pane mist lets fall the first morning dew, symbolism of the tears that fall from you,
Fingers just touching tip to tip, desperate to hold off the final goodbye kiss,
Defiantly we refuse to quit, there is so much more for us than this,
Down and outs, upon the floor, yet courage is our foot in fates closing door,
Morning glory shines so bright, the floodlights on this lovers fight,
To reach out for you and find you gone, do I have that fear? not once, not that one.
Lady luck forgot our names, but that did not mean we were out the game,
Snakes eyes, a roll of the dice, you're the only sure bet I would make in my life,
My comrade, my lover, my partner in crime, forever united time after time,
I may have regrets at the end of my life, but never my darling that I made you my wife,
So onward and upward our fight still goes on, it's sure been a battle, but hell its been fun.
Two parties with a fifty-fifty chance
Of getting the longer half, but in this game
Of sheer luck, one gets the wish fulfillment
One literally comes up short
When the wishbone splits in two
How sad to end up with the shorter half?
Close, but no cigar. An unlucky break
Then lady luck smiles and disappears
In a split second. Isn't it tantamount to a scale
Tipping the balance to the wrong end?
At one fell swoop, one who holds
The shorter half is out of favor, a gambler
With a snake eyes dice. A wish so
Tantalizingly close, hynotized
Into deep sleep
But there's a technique to improving
The odds of ending up with the longer half
You simply pull instead of attempt to break it off
Glory could be yours, If you grab the upper part
Of the wishbone, instead of the tail-end

The roulette wheel is a silver eye, winking red and black,
And I am a moth with paper wings, fluttering at the crack
With dawn, when Lady Luck wears a mask of shimmering vivid haze,
Drinking gin and promises to last never lacking for endless days.
Ten feet tall I stand, a king of obsidian chips,
The dealer is a statue, a prayer on my lips.
A cascade of gold coins, a waterfall of sound,
I am walking on a ceiling, my feet off the ground.
The cards are sharp as mirrors, reflecting a face
That does not know surrender, that only knows the race.
But the chandelier dips, turning velvet into bone,
The green table shrinks, and I am standing all alone.
The queen of spades is laughing; she rips her paper dress,
And the coins turn into moths, flying from my grasp in distress.
The air is thick with smoke, a suffocating, silent gray,
I am drowning in a pocket, with nothing left to pay.
Now I am falling, now I am flying,
A ghost in a casino, where the time is dying.
The dealer winks again, a slow and heavy descent,
The house always wins, but the magic is never spent.
I reach for one last card, as the world turns inside out,
A beggar in a mansion, screaming without a shout.
The wheel spins, the eye closes, I am smoke upon the floor,
Waiting for the dawn to ask, “Do you want anymore?”
Seek refuge in God, broken, for he'll repair
Repeatedly struggling to break free
With no smile from lady luck
Surrender to hope,
Prevailing
Faith;
Unfailing!
You learn to cope
Like flower stuck in the muck,
Growing into a towering tree.
Seek refuge in God, broken, for he'll repair.

I was riding a streak with the dice in my fist.
Lady Luck was with me, seemed I couldn’t miss!
Then this babe caught my eye,--I crapped out time and again.
Lady Luck stomped out, when True Love walked in.
I was anchoring third with a pair of aces.
Going for the split, needed tens or faces.
But when ‘you know who’ sat down next to me,
The blackjack dealer dealt a two and a three!
Lady Luck stomped out when True Love walked in.
She gave me that look. I sent her my best grin.
I’m gonna go bust if I see her again.
Lady Luck stomped out when True Love walked in.
I put a dollar chip on every black and red.
Three spins in a row came up zeros instead.
The old croupier said: “Son I’ve seen this before.
You better take that gal to the chapel next door!”
Lady Luck stomped out when True Love walked in.
She gave me that look. I sent her my best grin..
I’m gonna lose my shirt when I see her again.
Lady Luck stomped out when True Love walked in.
I kept the Queen of Hearts and folded all my hands,
And never set foot in a casino again.
When the urge to play overpowers me –
It's Yahtzee, Trouble, and Monopoly.
(To add insult to injury, our kids always win, you know!)
Lady Luck stomped out when True Love walked in.
She gave me that look. I sent her my best grin..
I haven’t won a hand since that fatal day when
Lady Luck stomped out and True Love walked in.
"We don't see things as they are,
We see them as we are. " -Anaïs Nin
Its all about the perspective
And depending what mood we're in.
When joy is what your feeling
And Lady Luck is on your side
Your more likely to see the good in things
It'll make your smile real wide.
But when life becomes much harder
And things become real rough
We tend to see the worst in things
Being happy is real tough.
We don't see things as they are,
We base it on how we feel.
Our mood effects everything,
And makes things feel very real.
If it's a grey day, or
were are feeling blue
Our answer to, "Good morning"
Might be, "it's only good for you!"
We might see things a bit differently
If our mood is happy and light
Because things are going our way
And our future seems real bright.
How we feel when we wake,
The kind of mood that we're in,
Sets the pace for the day and
explains the quote by Anaïs Nin.

Taking on an odd challenge - committed
Ideal forms, fired in keenest kiln
Trespass pages torn out, inmate omitted
Anguish arms, firm steely shield
Tigers eye eclipse rolls out a rosy moon
Rising icy on closed encyclopaedia
Thick black book unlocks fabled fortune
Weighty trust instilled immediately
Figure of founding, supportive substance
Dad proud serves duty’s obligation
Blind mice sheltered held to his sentence
Prickly wife handed down probation
Gifted a ginger ring fingers, grand future
Lady Luck spun an oily halo roulette
Leather bound night bite slim smile Luna
New moon on red her high fate met
17th December
Sentence ended
The ecstasy of adoration and the excitement of exploring a new love. The successful completion of long-held dreams. The times when lady luck smiled and it was thought that things might always be that easy, that rosy. Yet life here on planet earth, because of its nature, there will be that element of losing, always the losing! Even still, wisdom lies at the bottom of a lifeboat, after the titanic sinking of a life. Sailing off the edge of the world, that the ancient mariner feared, is symbolic of that which ties us all together in life, but in death, we trust that our God will have mercy, and that with him, love will not be denied!
Urgent Surgery, A C-Section in three seconds
Look lady!
I'm trying to save you and the baby
Nurse Fox prepare the Incision sit
Nurse D please hand me a scalple
To save the Mother
Science says its impossible
And I'll be lucky
To make it out the room alive
Whoosh! They rush past me
There goes the team and staff
Now it's just me
And I aint even a freaking Doctor
And inside these reactions
Creations are made in high rates of radiation
And inside my mind there is a Chemical Lab
It unfolds and rolls out straight
Now Lady Luck sit up you aint even pregnant yet
Now there you go
I speak the word... Poof! theres you a wishing well
I pull the lever down now
It's amazing! ain't it lovely how your wishes fell
And a kiss?
Yea on the cheek and not the lips
That always makes you naughty girls go crazy!
I'm like it's daytime
So lets take away the Nightmares
It's the same day
It's okay, you can hold my hand
Now I'm there in the nights
The knight that fights inside your dreams
And don't ask me why
These lights they just twirl into red and green
And when I say blue
I'm accomindating you by making changes
A snowflake Falls on the same site
where we just had basketball size hail
And another casket goes into the ground
No more suffering!
Another one of my brothers just fell
Zip the body bag up
I ain't got nothing on my team but a bunch of ignorant fools
And when I drop it's like a star goin off into a supernova
I toss em and they land into a pile of schizophrenics
And now these Two nurses Know
Ceratintly Life is taken serious
Together we're a Dream Team
Piss on some forensics
Cuase I cut you a slice
2 times Twice the psychic
I can take you to the body
But your furture use of me is undecided
