Over Your Head

A river boat runs into a bar                                                                                            and says give me a mark twain

Angels angels all around
Keeping my friends safe and sound
Full of love grace care and hope
Sending faith to help you cope
So each day gets a lot better
And all of the stormy weather
Never keeps any dark clouds
Over your head--A lighted shroud
Will protect you from the rain
Pushing away all hurt and pain

Indian Blessing

The warm winds blowing 
softly…

The great Indian spirit in the
 sky blessing you…

May you always have rainbows
 in your life…

May you always have clothes
 upon your back, shoes upon 
your feet and a roof over your head…

And always have your Indian Spirit 
Angel on your shoulder…

Manage Your Money-(Seven By Seven)

Why do thing behind my back?
Then play like it’s all an act.
Spending money like it’s free.
Taking out loans you don’t need.
Over your head can’t you see.
Stop and look before you leap.
Manage your money wisely.


Just trying on some new styles as taught by spencerj. Also venting a little bit-have 
to keep it real..lol

Dad

I am your dad,
Hold my finger,
And learn to walk;
First few steps are arduous,
Hold my finger tight;
Life ahead is tough,
May have thorns, 
May have bumpy terrain,
Be wakeful on each step you move;
Dad's hands always over your head,
As a brolly for shade;
In bad and tough times,
Follow you as shadow,
to keep you move;

Kissing Me

Hey! step back
Hey! step closer
let me, take a breath 

your, messing up my heart 
your, messing up my first-steps 

and my head can't
tell the rest of me 

STOP! wait, your over your head 
and this is just a kissing game 
and this isn't for keeps 

he just wants
to take you goodies

so, keep his hands above 
and off the Wees  (knees...)

Peace

Your hand is lying over the table.
An aura of innocence over your head
sparkling like a blooming sunflower.
You haven’t slept for million years.
All the hot blooded complainers and
Cruel smiles are hovering in the air. 
Calm like a tomb you are smiling and
dreaming about an unreal dream of love.
Don’t open your eyes before you travel
back and discover the weeping meadow.

HE SAID

I AM YOUR BOSS, YOU FOLLOW ME.

little me said, I thought GOD was the boss.

HE SAID I WILL HIT YOU WHEN I THINK YOU DESERVE IT, EVEN IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN! I AM THE ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD!!

little me knew that if we said “no,” HE had the capability of crushing them all, like Esther.

so, then, the skinny white girl
with nowhere else to go
said
okay

Lovers On An April Afternoon

In the doorway, you stand deliciously; 
I draw you over to the bed.
And kiss your mouth as I pull your dress,
Slowly over your head.

I nip your neck and eye you coyly;
You sink into my kiss.
And as we touch, I see you buckle,
Into a sharp, awaited bliss.

Sweet lover, with skin as pure as pearls,
Like a coin that’s clean and new.
I open up my mouth to speak,
And all I say: “I do.”

Premium Member To Mr Thornton

He claimed I was a young rambuncious lad, very sharp:
He knows how to solve a Rubik's Cube and play the harp!
But did Mr. Thornton know
that I used to be a simple so 'n' so?
Family and friends once said,
"That piano is just way over your head!"
Being the dreamer I took it metaphorically
not realizing they were concerned for my safety.
And just as quick as one would drop a hat,
under half a ton of wood, I became all too flat.

Comparing Clarity With Disparity and Gravity

Comparing Clarity with Disparity and Gravity

With some things we must compare clarity,
As it always does and determine disparity;;
Similarity lacking;
Could be cracking,
Assimilated with variable that is gravity.

Parity has to do with a woman's neonatal
condition and the ability of a variable to
agree with others and be correlated.

This has a high probability that it has
been completely over your head.

Pressure Maketh the Diamond

Pressure from the job and roof over your head 
Pressure from the kids cause they won’t go to bed 
Pressure in traffic on your way to work
Wreck up ahead hope no one is hurt
Pressure from the dentist drilling your tooth
That hit a nerve back to my roots  
Pressure from the tears there in your eyes 
Oh… it’s a wonder…. but you did survive 
All the pressure 
All the strife 
That lump coal ……….
               Has a polished life

This Is My Home

When you feel that bitter
 Cold air in a winter breeze

 Turning a clock back
 Dark mornings early nights
 Tucked up warm inside,
 Have you ever wondered
 With heat a home 
a roof over your head
 All the street people
 Newspaper for a bed
 Some more lucky
 A cardboard shed
 Just for a minute
 Give it a thought
 Their is always one person
 Worse off than you
 So think yourself lucky
 Like the one
 With a cardboard shed.

Home

A home is a place where you feel warm and contralbe.  This house is your home to keep
you safe from all the climates outside. A home can be 4 walls, or a home can be just small
shack as long you got a roof over your head you have a home. My home is full of laughter
and sometimes tears, but most of the time there is a lot of love.  You can always have a
lot of love in your home, when you know it’s going to be there ever time you come home.

Premium Member Breakfast with a Hangover

The party's over
You got in bed with the devil
And pulled the covers up over your head
It's a bed of your own making
Now you have to lie in it 
And lie you have and lie you will 
Over and over and over again
You'll toss and turn until morning comes 
And after that sleepless night 
It will finally dawn on you
It's time to wake up and smell the coffee 
To go with your breakfast of crow
Which costs more than you will ever know
And we're all paying the price

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

the parking lot of a CVS
two minutes from your house
the backseat of a four door sedan

your sister starts to shake against the door
heaving, sniffling sobs
her breath fogs against the glass
exhale exhale exhale

we should go home he says eventually
the girls are upset
you have never seen him cry before

in bed you pull the sheet over your head
and smear tears across the backs of your hands

the phone screen is too bright
2-5 years the internet says
there is no cure
