South America or Africa (on location).
In a diamond mind.
The protagonists (lovers), the diamonds, the miners and the minders.
By minders we mean watchers, organizers, supervisors.
As all art must:...

And smile at each other as we overcome the storm
And look into each others eyes with great relief
And hold each other in each others eyes
As we...

or that crowd will toss...

Seven in the morning, first toddler arrives
Extreme hope for the day in his eyes
You are the reason his look is glazed
He expects your wit to entertain and amaze

You are his Disneyland, his Chuck E. Cheese

Write it down, write it down,
Write it down when you are really down.


Write it down, write it down,
Write it down, when you are really down.


Or push them down, push them down,
Push those feelings...

Make sure you say what you mean, because you may not get a chance to take it back
Tomorrow isn't promised, we can die at any moment

What is Love

It’s meaning known to those who reach out
With-out fear or favor, sharing body and soul
Their body language enhancing the feeling

Without hesitation, or being confused,
Not holding a fear of what others may say,
But to say what you mean in every way,
It liberates your soul, by setting...

on the other side of the phone

Get in shape, lose some weight.
Every year it’s always the same.
Read a book, stay home and cook,
And I only have myself to blame.

Till some land, lend a hand.
You’d think that I’d be smart enough,

There was nothing not honest about my clever Aunt Ruth
The whats-its and fruts-its were scared of her though.
Especially terrified that she was way off in the...

 I’ve really missed you
I know I’m not around much
Things are just so busy
And I know,
Lately I’ve only used you as a crutch.

A lot has happened since you’ve left
Heartbreak, suffering, and much more pain.
And all...

You never mind


Sign your name in blood, or just give up.
What it is you think you need, will never be enough.
Think for yourself or get some help;
Throw away all of your wealth.


Iron all your clothes;...

An open mouth issuing words
Is a better tool if
The thought processes are first engaged
With the intention of choosing words
That are calculated 
For best effect 

A funny thing is a word
It takes on a life of...

Me and the wall

Like an imaginary friend when we were a child.
My thoughts bounce off the wall and then get filed.
Mrs. Beasley, Shilo, and Winnie the Pooh.
No matter what you said, they believed it was...

Confrontations

Confrontational season
but I’m not chasin’ broken dreams
I’m chasin’ dreams so real
They’ll make you forget 
how you really feel
Erase all crazy emotions
and take away bad memories
You can’t treat her like a princess
when she’s really a queen…

Present Unwrapped

Plan for tomorrow
live for today
the moment redeeming
 future caches 

Say what you mean
do what you say
the circle enclosing

Fake it


You can’t fake it, to make it;
You can’t fake it, if you want to make it.
If you have got talent, then you will make it;
But whatever you do, when you reach the top, don’t...

Talk is cheap
That’s what they say
Say what you mean
And mean what you say.

Words of wisdom
For what they’re worth
May or may not ring true.

Verbiage can appear as anything
Close or far from fact
One has to listen carefully
To...

Say what you need to say,
but mean what you say
& say what you mean.
The ultimate gift of a God.
The ability to create or destroy
anything!
Spoken into existence,
but first conceived as a thought.
Be conscious of your mind...
