Premium Member Sam Cooke: You Send Me

Time is short but feelings are strong
Of course you’re singing our song
First cranberry kiss sets me on fire
Making my knees weak as I perspire 

Oh you send me on a long journey 
With the sun blazing the world turning
Despite the times lack of civil rights
Everything is fine in your arms tonight

Your pearly smile plays me like a harp
Words you weave now are amethyst art
You whisper in my ear that I have your heart
Marry me dear and we shall never part

You send me to the moon and far beyond 
Like a flower I bloom in your sunny charm
And the red hickey you leave on my neck
Is like jewelry I hide least my folks be upset

You thrill me honest you do
Just like the song says it’s true
And I loved you from the very first look
Heavenly sounds of us sang by Sam Cooke

Son of Sam Lady-Killer

I can only just imagine you and Sam

Whilst working close together on
the butchery counter at your local
supermarket

At the site of both of your 1st job's at 
the tender age of just 17

1 day somehow however whilst
putting out the ham on display

Locked eye's and figured out she's 
the 1 for me as he is the 1 for me

And then you became childhood 
sweetheart's for thee foreseeable 

As unfortunately and to your cost
you found out much later 

He was in fact sadly a real lady-killer
in reality not merely just actually playing
the role of 1 as an act

Until the day you told him you were
pregnant with me and then he upped 
and left the both of us behind 

Well that all now makes perfect sense
to me 

And I am so sorry for not only just for me
my mummy but for you as well 

As he sounds like a lowdown dirty filthy pig
of a man 

But thankfully I am lucky enough to be your
son and proudly call you my mother 

As opposed to ever having to admit even
to myself

I am the Son of Sam himself

Hokahe, sam chon

My uncle died yesterday
He was an octogenarian
His stroke made him slur
To me, he is ever youthful
Riding a nicotine stained Mustang
Breaking free from his bridle
Breaking free from his bride
Leaving his two sons and wife
Long time since he whittled for me
A while since he carved driftwood
Since, he enticed a second mare
A girl to ride shotgun when broken
I wrote to not cry his passing
Though I never really knew him
I cried for the end of a generation
Now old, I inherit his vacant seat
Someday  my son will cry for me
My mother says all things die
Even soju spilled evaporates
When the bottle tips I’ll pass away
Feel myself burbling away
Few will mourn a falling leaf
Few see Mustangs falling off a cliff
Even fewer still will see their art
In his imperfections I see myself
Do his estranged sons grieve?
When he is buried in Forest Lawn
When laid to rest by his parents
I wonder why I cry for an old man
Was it for him or myself behind?
Perhaps it is to honor any life
Ahead will be my parent’s rest
Behind me my son’s mourning
Find peace in a falling leaf
Winter is coming for us
We have only four seasons
Ride that broken-down Mustang
Never let go of the reins
Watch him canter ahead
I'll be joining him bareback
Help me to not feel jealous
Today is a good day to die
Uncle

I don`t believe in fate,where your path is chosen
                           i take my own steps,lifes door is always open
                           there`s no lock,a pin nor combination
                           glide through the entrance,with talent and i imagination

               

                         There`s a sign post ahaead it reads " DESTINY"
                         achievments are earned,when you live willingly
                         life` just an episode, a demo,a trial
                         seek triumph,sucess,it may be worth your while

                        Follow your your  heart,and sucomb to your track
                        my minds navigation,will create it`s own map
                        the crossroads of confusion,may bring you to a holt
                       your an indivudual alone,it`s not your fault.

Great Uncle Sam

I was a child, yes, even little old me, 
curious and happy, my smile wild with glee. 
But at the tender age of seven, 
I learnt that family go to heaven. 

My aunt, a distant, great, great one, 
who I'm told baked Welsh cakes second to none, 
passed on by in her sleep, 
no sickness, no hospital stay or cardiac bleep. 

Too young to mourn my mother said, 
too far to go for distant dead. 
To be honest, it wasn't until that time, 
that I learnt about my family's line. 

My grandad had two sisters see, 
each as unique as one could be. 
One died some time before my birth, 
now sadly this aunt was laid in earth. 

Yet, along came a parcel, a letter, a note, 
'To Charlotte' , from 'Uncle Sam' it wrote. 
The parcel, I opened, like any young child, 
ripping at the packaging, like kid gone wild. 

Inside was a teddy bear, my aunt had owned, 
given at the same age as me, seven years old. 
The letter was written in cursive, neat, aligned, 
with a twenty pound note, how beyond kind? 

It said 'use on something you will treasure, 
please write me a letter, at your leisure'.
Who would have known that I'd do just that,
buying a fishing rod, a reel, tackle and hat. 

And sooner than later we visited, on my request, 
he greeted us, in wellies, lumberjack shirt and vest. 
Such a marvellous man, such stories he told, 
from sheep stealing dinners to finding lost gold. 

A friendship of two, age didn't matter, 
we were both unique, quirky, mad as a hatter.
Fast forward ten years, he is so gravely ill,
me at his beside, in the hospital on the hill. 

I speak of stories, now tales of my own, 
a distraction from his internal body groan. 
I hug, I smile, bless him for his love, 
and that next morning he was called above. 

Through bereavement and loss, I gained a friend, 
we remained close right until the end. 
Love like that, so unique, and so raw, 
changed my whole outlook down to the core. 
My heart still skips, like I was seven, 
when I reminisce about my uncle, now in heaven.

The locks cut off, 
Power dissipates,
empty, he walks along, 
as mere mortal without  purpose. 
A man of destiny, 
grinding in the mill,
revelling to stupor,
 Years rolls bye . 
Ignoring the signposts.
Contempt for inner  guides, 
shut the conscience. 
Soul searching  reflection severed 
On Delilah's lap like a fool, 
gave up strength for Lust, 
Youthful days speeds away,   
Tender whist  were days of yore, 
Hearts now  hardens 
Conscience now seared 
will now  weakened. 
Vices takes  roots  deeper 
Habits  formed.
Imprisoned without walls. 
They go on 
On they go still.
in vain search for Peace

The Bear vs Uncle Sam

The Bear to the East of Uncle Sam, what is Uncle Sam doing in the territory of the Bear? Uncle Sam behavior is that of a moron.

Uncle Sam is like a mad child ,trying to kill himself out of his own madness. Uncle sam is ruthless and power-hungry. He lacks empathy, and he always blames others for his mistakes. He takes credit for the work and ideas of others, and he puts down and belittle those who don't share with him  his views or support them.

Everywhere Uncle sam goes, he creates chaos and miseries, and his madness now is making him to start poking the bear in the eye.

Uncle Sam, please stay away from the Bear the  apex predator, you cannot win any fight with the bear. You will be"beaten out of existence," and don't push the Bear too far, you have been beaten down by your own pride and arrogance, every odds are against you so much so that it is  suffocating your pride. Leave the Bear alone and mind your own business. 

Uncle Sam, you have created allies, but just  morons in your presence, "When a blind man leads a blind man, they both end up in the ditch.”

Only morons ask for a fight with the bear, Uncle Sam, together with your allies, you'll be badly humiliated should you continue poking the bear..!!

Uncle Sam, stop provoking the bear. Stay away!

Your end lies in your greed, and your collective fate  has been sealed.

Premium Member Uncle Sam

Sam, Sam, the drunken man
Hiccup, hiccup, stagger
Sprayed by the skunk again
Stench replaces swagger

Uncle is a rebel
Standards sinking lower
His Lust rings the death knell
Evil hands him over

Hiding in the closet
Moving from the shadows
Twist the truth to posit:
"Counterfeit their credos."

Urge grows ever stronger 
Evil, even bolder
Acts are growing wronger 
Sin the grim slave-holder

Sam, Sam, I know your plan
Play up victim chatter
Play down the bogeyman
Censor subject matter

Uncle is a front man
Paid to shill and tell lies
Lots of circus but no bread
The simpleton complies

Mocking moral wisdom
Bucking discipline's yoke
Twist the honor system:
"'Love your neighbor,' a joke."

Your debt is piling up
God's wrath, boiling over
Closer is His shake-up
When judgment takes over

Sam, Sam, you feckless man
Your gambit won't pay off
You shortened your life span
Your dying branch sawed-off

Uncle is agnostic
Paganish and profane
Justice is sarcastic
His rulings are insane

God's kindness towards you
Will no longer remain
Vengeance is overdue
Consequences are plain

Cut from His olive tree
Due to your unbelief
Uncle's owed penalty
Acquits God's faith motif- 

"Faith is not a Schemer"

Joon and Sam

Inspired by the sweet, whimsical movie, "Benny & Joon", starring Johnny Depp, Mary Stuart Masterson and Aidan Quinn. A stellar cast and performance. 

Joon and Sam
By Michelle Morris

Wearing a helmet in the car
Watching the world pass by
See a man sitting in a tree
A connection is formed

Lose a bet and gain a roommate
Enjoy new ways to experience life
Painting together and sharing a sweet kiss
Feelings and emotions became entwined 

Sam and Joon became close friends
It blossomed into a true love
Two hearts became one 
In unusual circumstances 

Two eccentric people
Trying to navigate their path
Finding love and acceptance
A chance to have a new start

An artist and a performer
Delightful moments together
Ironing cheese sandwiches
In Joon's new apartment

Independence and freedom
Dignity and respect
Choices that are made
To live and learn and love

Joon and Sam together
It's a sweet, whimsical love
To remind us that anything is possible
In our Universe so beautiful
