The Brutal Truth collaboration with Sandra Weiss
My mirror tells the brutal truth,
a woeful tale of vanished youth
Where one eye squints and one eye shines
and broken dreams are long dark lines.
Emotionless and coldly callous
Honesty without spite or malice
Shamelessly silent yet telling all
Reflecting the writing on the wall.
An image appearing all too clear
Becomes too telling, too austere
Once colorful hues seen on display

Love Is, Love Isn't Collaboration with Sandra Weiss
I know the pain that love can bring
How hurtful words can bite and sting
When lies are told, love will take wings
That real love doesn't come with strings
Love, liken to a pendulum swing
Taking it all not giving a thing
Once I listened to my heart sing
When I thought love was everything.
What happens is, that we don't see
Sometimes

Happy Birthday, Sandra
Dear Sandra, here’s a little note from my heart to yours.
May it bring you a smile whenever you read it.
From your heart to your home, you’ve always opened the door,
Even late at night when I may have scared you a bit.
Let’s face it, who would stop by late at night, except me?
Hence, the reason you

So, the next time that you look at a

Dave's Girl's Named Sandra Mcspark
Dave's nuts 'bout his girlfriend, Sandra McSpark
She doesn't bite much, but Man! - Can she bark!

Sandra Lee
Sandra Lee was a woman alone, but not lonely.
An artist, full of flair and ideas of flamboyance and fantasy.
She wrote poetry, drew portraits, made glorious watercolors.
Others married and moved away, but she stayed in her town.
Enjoying her life, her work as a social worker made her happy.
But don’t you get lonely? Others asked her.
They

While You Were Sleeping
There are only two movies I watch more than once a year.
While You Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock is one of them.
Sure, I love her. But I love Bill Pullman too and Peter Boyle.
You know how sometimes you want to recast a movie?
This is not one of those. Each person was cast perfectly.
They are comedians,

The Family Portrait
The windmills swallowed
Don Quixote,
Ocean spat out Atlantis.
Nothing will surprise their hearts
Captured by stony aortas.
The boy from family portrait on the shelf,
Dag his bitten nails into remains of rotten orange
(which left the trail in colour of the burning hearth
across the sky),
And probably not even then,
Not once, has he wondered
What are

Underdeveloped Inspired By My Friend Sandra
As a young boy with older brothers
A father who was either drunk or in prison
My big brother had a one on one talk with me
About being developed
But first this story about Tom Sawyer
He read in school about Tom and played me for a fool
Somehow he talked me into painting his room blue, fact!!
But

Morning Whispers Collaboration With Sandra Adams
Taking in all the beauty of
this sunny brand new day
As squirrels scurry about,
caught up in their play
Watching brilliant colors
blend together up in the skies
A soft gentle breeze whispers
Good Morning in silky sweet sighs
amidst the threads
of autumn trees
i listen as the morning speaks
a sigh within its silky breath
rustles through the leaves
within its golden branches
nested

Spend Some Time With Me Collaboration With Sandra Weiss
This Lyric is written by Sandra Weiss and I have written and played the music for it.
We enjoyed bringing this song together.
Spend Some Time With Me
Feeling a bit lonely
Maybe feeling a bit blue
This is what I ask of you
What I need and it's free
Would you spend some time with me?
So much time

Sandra Intimidated Men
Sandra was enchanted and glamourous
Men were intimidated
Giddy when meeting her
Her winsome winning ways delighted them
None of the lot suspected
It was women she liked

Bingo the Gambeler and His Wife Sandra With the Long Ponytail
Bingo goes where he does;
Throws his money on the table;
Sandra braids her ponytail;
Says she not in love with no man;
All hail, all hail, yeah;
Gambler goes to jail;
Sandra talks to Mable;
Bingo doesn't get bail;
Shouldn't steal the money;
All hail, all hail, yeah;
Mable ask Sandra isn't she married to Bingo;
Sandra said while touching her long hair no
