Premium Member Soul Window

hard man needs to heal
open soul window reveals
closed fist can not give

nor can it receive 
rise wise like smoke embracing
spiritual goals green

one of Brooklyn's best
her quotes were more witty than kind
like "A hard man is good to find"

Eighty today
Thirty years gone
Time doesn’t balance those numbers

He was a hard man
Built from things he never talked about
But what he taught me holds

I still feel his presence
In the parts of me that don’t break

Cheating On His Wife

He thought he was a hard man
Talking behind your back was his plan
And his thought was I’m so tough
But he was first to scream enough

Cheating on his wife made him last
While she didn’t know it was a blast
And in the end there was isolation
For him there was no elation.

Gold

I got this woman, she bleeds love, 
As warm as possible, 
This woman love's me, 
True as content, 
She's my best friend and lover, 
I build my life in her skin, 
Cross every barrier, 
Close each monster, 
Drive through all my mistakes, 
she only sees me, 
I'm a hard man with a tender caress, 
True and the bliss is gold...


The Hard Man

Ramrod straight and true blue 
With just a gaze he would look right through
He could tell those who were weak
And were hiding something to secrete

He would walk into a room 
And would turn the jukebox to his tune
Always sitting with his back to the wall
Drinking his beer slowly was his call

The stories told were of tough men
Who could use their fists in the end
But they could never beat him in a fight
So he would go and do whatever he would like.
