Riffing - Resubmit
Quiet! Quiet!
No distraction or reaction
to the situation
of creation
unfolding syncopation ...
a blues distillation.
As the sax-o-phone
does groan into a tirade
the parade of ticks and tocks
licks and knocks
reverberate from the drummer,
bass strummer and pi-an-o
to congeal into real
high fueled blues.
Up and down the scales
the moan wails
a lascivious groan
lusty riffs thrown
by metal and ivory
into the ether to
sway with

My Playground (Resubmit)
If you open your heart and close off your mind
Leave all preconceived notions behind
Shut your eyes and close out the light
Just let your soul drift like a thief in the night
Let it drift straight into your heart
For this is where true understanding starts
People believe you understand with your mind
This is because people are blind
I've come

Shedding My Tears (Resubmit)
When I was a younger man
I was taught
Men don't cry
I learned to bottle in my tears
I suppressed my feelings
At a young age I found myself
In a world
With no room to cry
Life was hard
I had to be hard with it
I used drugs and hate
Anger and violence
To harden my soul
Then one day
Alone
I cried
The tears flowed
Like a river
Falling

Angels & Doves (Resubmit}
I have heard angels fly on golden wings
And I believe they do
Doves represent the purest form of love
And I suppose that’s true
Sweetheart there is a simple fact
That I wish you to know
The beauty of both the Angels and Doves
Live inside your soul
Sweetheart you are an angel
Precious as can be
With a love that is pure
As a

Addiction {resubmit}
I have laughed as you have cried
I have lived as you have died
I love to make you hated
Being held above as you are degraded
I steal your future and prey on your past
I am socially accepted, as you become an outcast
I am a dealer of darkness, a deliverer of pain
I smoke your lungs and collapse your

One Second {resubmit}
I once heard and had myself a taste
The emptiness of hell is as vast as space
I entered the vortex trying to find
How to drive the demons from my mind
Like a snake I learned to shed my skin
Found the door to my soul and crawled on in
It was as hollow as hollow can be
Full of pain,

Angels Tears {resubmit}
I once opened up my heart as I looked to the sky
Then the clouds opened up and they started to cry
I had not thought about this until that very day
The rain is angel’s tears that wash the dirt of life away
What that leaves behind don’t you know its true?
Is a world that is left fresh,

I Would Write a Song {resubmit}
So much of my life I spent doing wrong
If I could write music I would write a song
I have done things a man shouldn't do
These words are written for they are true
If you open your heart and look to the sky
Ask of the Lord then hear the reply
It won't come in words not words you

The Hill of Life {resubmit}
Think of life if you will
As a big giant hill
At the bottom there is a road
Each of us start with a equal load
Just as every up has a down
There are forks in the road to be found
At these forks I'm here to say
The right road is a steeper way
The wrong road without a doubt
Is a
