Buddy stopped talking and drinking he begins pacing as he’s thinking 
Tired from walking he...

The sun upon my face blinds me as my boat rocks gently
through the rolling swells that lap against the hull.
The sound of the droning engine mesmerizes my mind
bringing a dreaminess to this bright cool...

Kneeling in the median, crying, crying, what have I done?
Oh the pain, the pain wishing the past was undone.
I have no hope for my wretched life, now that I am alone.
The horror of a dying...

As I wander through my mind, back to years now long gone by.
I stumble over many memories, some now faded and worn by father time.
Others clear, even brilliant, bring a tear, or a smile to...

I know that you watch over us
And lend a giving hand
And every choice you choose for one 
Has reason in the end
So if I may apologize
If I offend you in anyway
But the truth be told;...

I’m a ‘bar-back’, I stack,
I pull up the crates, unpack and rack.
I hump boxes of glasses in,
then I hump them out again.
I roll barrels into a hand-cranked elevator,
then roll the empties into the club cellar
where...

By the side of the loch some boys at play, when into their midst there came
A beautiful white and riderless horse with a long and flowing mane

A redheaded boy jumped up on its back, a...

A spaceship called Hope... made from future's grand mist, 
is perched upon a launch pad of manic chemicals, and loss.
With stun gun emotion, mother earth regurgitates.  
5-4-3-2-1
Her metal finger meets the button...
she releases her...

THINGS NOT TO BE

There are thoughts in my mind
I cannot reach.
Am I crazy?  
But, I know they are there.
I feel, in lonely nights, a sense of them
when I dream a flower, a cloud, 
a...

He wasn't like any other ordinary boy
of his own age, but an explorer so passionately
enamored with the sea,
 which once almost drowned him; 
he was criticized and mocked for his idea,  
and yet he...

Standing in a wooden room, barren, except for sand, 
Three little girls play pretend,
A bee hive hangs in the corner, of the playhouse,
Big and large it stays around,
Busy buzzing bee's fly in and out, 
The...

Spreading like wildfire
through a kerosene soaked forest,
infecting the mind with
its inky black threads.
She’s too fat,
he’s too skinny,
her hair isn’t perfect,
his face is full of pimples.
No matter how they try
no one is able to reach perfection,...

They were playing quite nicely,
My pride and my joy;
My two small, blonde daughters
And my redheaded boy.
Then I heard a commotion.
"Oh, what is it now?"
Their friendly, quiet game
Had turned into a row.
Sometimes he teased them
Until they...

Tomorrow I’m eating fries, Marion,
It gives me full of pep,
Yellows, walleye, salty,
I will eat hot fries.

Tomorrow I’m eating fries, Marion,
Belgians, sweet flamingos,
Walloon girls, redheaded girls,
Out of the oven, all hot.

Eating fries is not stupid
English, golden,...

I have a redheaded angel
she's very special you see;
all of the world adores her
they ask why she married me?

I tell them love is the answer
and love is terribly blind;
fortune was mine completely,
thank you for being...

Perhaps had I chosen another
Instead of the love that I did,
I wouldn't have been left a
Widow so soon and my
Son would not have had
Genetic flaw
That took him
Away

But ..................if I had chosen another
I would not have...

just because his hair was red..
He saw he was different with his bright,
red mane but knew on the inside he was
likely the same..
Most days he just stood there and smiled

I carry a salty plate, hot and buttery,
piled high with Summer’s best corn on the cob —
kernels with a juicy crunch for a lucky towhead guest.

Fresh milk and a boy’s best friend nearby.*
A smile and...
