Watching The Storm Roll In
I sit here on this wide, stone porch, the farms stretch for many miles, even on sunny days you can sit here and drift for a while… but this is not a day like that, the far horizon tells the tale, a billowing of distant gray, the storm is coming, without fail. The first slow pickup of wind comes, scribes rippled patterns in the...

Premium Member Plagued by Memories, Roll Credits, a SawTooth, Lyrics
The reality be told, it was not long past, Flabbergast by an unfold from my mind’s vague vast, In reflections of the accounts of my youth, Echoes formed, all claiming to be truth. Must be fabricated, they’re so over the top, Consulted a friend, a retired old cop, He said no evidence on the inquires I’d send, Crazies, PTSD’s, false memories blend....

Premium Member The years will pass, calendars will endlessly roll over the land of forgetting
The years will pass, calendars will endlessly roll over the land of forgetting, But the moment I saw you, that moment suspended in the eternity of a gaze, The flame of love kindled then will burn silently in the hidden corners of my heart, Like a solitary lighthouse in the night, illuminating the secret paths of my soul. Seasons...

Bourbon Street Blues
Neon haze on cobblestone nights, whispers ride on the southern moonlight. Shadows dance in the lamplight’s gleam, bourbon burns, but so do my dreams. There's a preacher on the corner, selling sinners one last prayer. But the devil’s got a table, and he’s pulling up a chair. Oh, Bourbon Street, take my soul, drown my sins in rock and roll. Golden whiskey, lace and lies, where...

Roll Tide
If in my beginnings I saw a photograph I saw that somethings was a mortal fact A mortal sympathetic pack My body sympathetic to instrumental tracks In our relationship in our position within it Where so relentless on the inside My heart must beat , I didnt even have a heart My wasnt cold my heart wasnt there I brought my heart...

Premium Member Buddy
Hopin' and flyin' high Still somethin' was amiss, Just you know why ... It had to end like this Not fade away a shining star With three million records sold, Yet, silent fell his guitar ... And, glasses rest infold A sound never to be heard Soon after that final show, Boy, give us a clue, a word Maybe one day we'll know What happened that...

Premium Member ROLL AWAY BED ROLL OUT AND ON
Imagine sleeping on a roll away bed not holding steady Overnight sleep ride That’s what every roll away bed provides It comes when a person turns over in twist and turn The roll away Bed is not firm It’s about move You certainly wouldn’t be smooth nor soothe You would find yourself somewhere all over the room Travelling without ever getting up at...

Premium Member Sitting on the dock of the bay
I was sitting on the dock of the bay listening to a song when Otis Redding happened to come walking along. He said, "You watching the ships roll in?" I said, "Yeah, and then watching ‘em roll away again." He said, "That stuff's really dug by some. I think it’s all pretty much ho-hum." ...

Roll in Sin
Roll In Sin Rulers are just straight measuring sticks Buddy clubs and straight jackets Ladders behaving like flowers Black rose bush learing over the pastel shined Tulips grown A different life green and blue People can represent and stay true In a suit What is common with people that don't have the loot What did I learn What did I...

How many heads need to roll
Who to blame, For the lack of heads taking a stroll down the lane, Not easy to pin point a main culprit to blame, As just about every content provider has given us, examples of people with heads taking their bodies, out for a stroll down a lane, We cannot hold health professionals to blame, ...

Roll up Roll up
Roll up, roll up, and take your seat, Enjoy the show, it's bittersweet. The world we know is upside down, But the circus has arrived in town. No charge or an admission fee, For politics, the seats are free. The ringmaster he cracks his whip, A Prime Minister and his premiership. With a government full of appointees, Clowns painted with sincerity. Politicians with no policies, Just...

Jelly roll Watch em fall Sadness of a lost season No time to reach out and touch a life or a song Jelly roll Theres so much a child in you Things we talk about appear nothing extreme But although my mind always wants it all A hang glide in the sky won't happen today Ill tell you what I hate You can...
