Wondering where the time all went -
The time not really given, only lent.

The first day of fourth grade,
In the next desk a new girl stayed,
With honey colored hair all in a...

These long and lonely days
Are very dangerous roads
Too much time for me to ponder
Can my heart carry this load
Plenty of time has gone by now 
Enough for healing to start
I can tell that to my...

After all of these years


This is my spot, just outside these green coffee house doors,
my piece of sidewalk, my place in this world
A small square of concrete where I try to bring smiles

Maybe I want to be.
I can’t help it
I feel like I have some sort of right
To be part of your future
Even though
Your idea of me
Is stuck in the past.

"I love you"
These are the three ripe words that 
I wanted to whisper in your ears.
So, I
Fixed a date
You came
We met 
We spoke
But I couldn't propose:
Though tattooed on the tip of my tongue,
at my dismay...

I remember dancing under stars in the dark

Suddenly I looked up as something caught my eye
A very pretty girl saunters in and buys herself a coffee

Death's Messengers
by Rick Rucker


Death's messengers came for me today,
I eluded them, though, I crawled away.

Seeing just the smallest chance,
I sneaked into an ambulance.

That I'd soon be cold, and pale.

Noting...

Sherry was the one that got away,
I remember her to this very day,

She was quite a winsome lass,
I was far below her class,

You were the one that got away from my grasp angrily
You said your apologies, but face the music

What the Butler Heard
Extract from a memoir

Lord Illustrious Penge of Lampwicker Hall,
Welcomed local Toffs, to his Name-Dropper ball.

At fifteen I was filled with passionate dreams
God breathed possibilities through my ambitions
I learned to feel with my heart, visions of a caress
Whispering through me when I first met him, my fantasy

At twenty-three I was...

Always sitting, on the same bench.
Class one - till twelfth, he was all mine.
Both of us always on cloud nine!
Mornings in the school and evenings under the sky.
Aww! we were...

I began to dream about an elderly gentleman sitting

Dudley, he started telling a story about...

Well, here's another fishing tale
But not about the one that got away
It's a tale about me and friend of mine
