what was a real deal
after a wound had to heal
would have much appeal
Pulled from the depths of despair
by the hair
my own hand doing the yanking
Never forgetting as I struggle
to shore
Who I really should be thanking
Given the strength by ONE
greater than
All situation or cause
I marvel at his long suffering
At his mercy
meditatively pause
A peace soon comes upon me
flailing in this
dark troubled sea
Of mankind roiling
Within white capped wave
help me no part of it to be
As I pray that HE patiently
continue please to
Work on me to bring me to life to revive
Without HIS power
HIS kindness His Love
I'd scarcely be found alive
I will not fight
God's life saving effort
given freely when all was lost
To bite the hand
that has spiritually fed
Will not stupidly pay this cost
I put before you today
HE spoke
The blessing or malediction
Know as you choose friend its
You making the choice and
That this is no work of fiction
Vegas
betting
playing
blackjack
i've got
an ace
of spades
and a jack
of spades
but say
actually
plead
hit me
the dealer does
and yet another
spade it is a four
i walk away
smiling
i wanted
to see
twenty-five
The Real Deal
By: Tom Wright
10/2/98
Yes, I'm genuine,
this I can honestly say.
I'm the same man this morning,
as I was yesterday.
I'll be the same man tomorrow,
should it come for me.
I'm but a wandering spirit"
desiring to be free.
Most drive by and stare,
otherwise paying me no mind.
While the truly curious stop,
sensing, that I'm one of a kind.
With the looks of a Mule Skinner
or Mountain Man they feel.
Most just need reassuring
that I'm sane and for real.
Of the many that visit
a few become good friends.
Our trails to cross later
before life's journey ends.
In daring to be different
I've caused some, grief and pain.
But causing discomfort
was certainly not my aim.
I've but this one thought
for you as I leave.
Are you doing those things
in which you believe?
Existing within each person
is hidden some small part.
That desires to be different
But most won't follow their heart.
We were committing unabominable crimes -
Rhymes that are rewarded to us since ancient times
I think I'll be doing fine
While our souls combine
As long as our love is yours and mine
Lord, just show me a sign
You're like a meal with wine
Your love clings on to me like a vine...
Here, we'll happily and peaceably dine...
As long as our love is divine
Lord, please show me the stars align
Your vitality is the loveliest of pine
I do believe you and I will be all fine
As long as You are our vivacious vine
As long as the moon and sun shine
Lord, Your glorious joy is next in line
You...yes You...are two less than nine
Which is completeness beyond time...a dime without grime...
The real deal beyond its sublime prime...a Corona with lime...
You're in my blood,
the essence of your soul,
digs into my arteries,
slowly
without
any air of counterfeit.
You're the real deal,
although I seldom see you,
the heart knows it's other half
as you stay
in my blood
as its softly
makes it's circulation,
til you leave me standing
like a deserted village.
POEM 16 REAL DEAL FOR YOU
WE ARE ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR SOME SPECIAL THING IN OUR LIFE FOR US.
THAT THING IS THE LOVE WE DON'T HAVE IN OUR LIFE SO WE FLY.
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES I SEE HER WONDERFUL LOVING FACE THAT IS EVRY SINGLE NIGHT.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
? Maya Angelou
Some guys are bold; they’ll court you with great zeal,
while timid guys might not know what to do.
Some men will treat you to a fancy meal,
bring roses or boxed chocolates to you.
And some will let their darker side show through!
Although a man can say and do things right,
he isn’t necessarily the real deal!
But there is one you’ll want to kiss all night.
With ring in hand, upon one knee he’ll kneel -
the one who knew the way to make you feel!

THE REAL DEAL
HOW LONG I HAVE WAITED
TO FEEL THIS WAY AGAIN
IT HAS BEEN SIX YEARS
THAT MY HEART WAS DEAD
AND LOVE HAS SINCE
BEEN HARD FOR ME
TO EXPRESS MYSELF
WAS AN IMPOSSIBILITY
NO ONE COULD BREAK
THROUGH THE HARD SHELL
THAT IS UNTIL YOU
CAME INTO MY LIFE
AND I BEGAN AGAIN TO FEEL
FOR LOVE THAT I THOUGHT
I WOULD NEVER HAVE AGAIN
I FOUND WITH YOU
MY DEAR FRIEND

Real Deal Woman
Flit
Now, honey don't you play around
You know that it ain’t right
You be the man who brings to me
A man-size... Appetite
Don't need to go so fast
Just let me set the pace
Turn my green light into Red
There ain’t No need to race
I’m all that you need
You've already won
I’m all that you need
I’m your real deal woman
It’s something we got cooking
mix it till it hits the spot
because I’m full of loving
I'll keep it extra hot
You’re fueling up my heartbeat
My engine starts to roar
Cos now it's time to show you
You don't need her anymore
I’m all that you need
You've already won
I’m all that you need
I’m your real deal woman
I’m all that you need
You've already won
I’m all that you need
I’m your real deal woman
As the drop of saline slowly rolls
The ragged_ irregular exposed
As the mighty river flows from holes
My heart_ spring flood; since of me disposed
A flood so strong that the levee is broken
A bridge is carried away rushing to the sea
Left dry bed of pebbles_ token
Heart given with love not lessee
Lacrimal gland overworked dear
Red swollen eyes_no great surprise
Constantly shedding a warm pointed tear
Now my heart totally revise
The tear in my heart slowly heals
No more will I deal with such a heel
On that broken levee are seals
New love happens to be real deal
Scared, anxious, and tearful
Hopeful, wanting to get it over
Thoughts random and racing
Not the life I want or need
Wells of brine, release the tension
Vibrations, spasms of grief
Haven’t made a cent
Writing poems,
Only sense.
