Sounds my raspy voice.
Brought on by winters onslaught,
Sounding unrefined.

Dusty road covers your shoes
scratchy throat, raspy your blues
Keep walking, keep going, it’s all you can do
phone’s dried up too, ain’t no more good news…

Bells
with blues
play bent cup dinged;
discordant, dongs and dings.
Soft and raspy tones that mumble,
rings rung as fuzzy rumbles and grumbles,
rather than clear resonate rings.

Rod Stewart his name, a weaver of dreams, his fame
His raspy voice was apparently appealing all the same
Can't argue with that
Pulled success out of a hat
His sexy voice made ladies melt and become inflamed

Raspy, sexified tones began tightening
Like nooses around my throat
A trail of corpses appeared nonexistent
To millions of natural eyes
Catastrophically I was yet another victim
In the pages of murder that she had composed
She must be found…

Verse
Muffled screams
Blurry voices
Heavy doors
Reality or in my head
Tired eyes
Raspy voices
A stabbing silence
Reality or in my brain
Heavy thunder
Camouflaged talk
Letting go
Reality or the end
Muffled screams
Blurry voices
Heavy doors
Reality or...not this again

Arm, lightly wrapped
in the soft grasp of your paws
Hand, gladly receiving
the tender ministrations of your raspy tongue
We lie together on the floor
with the November sun bathing us
in its subtle warmth
and I say thank you,
to our gentle God
for these small
pleasures

There was once an old geezer named Bernie,
Who was nearing the end of life's journey.
With a raspy voice he cried,
"Life's been one helluva ride!"
As he was whisked away on a gurney!

don't misunderstand
i love feeling happy.
i live for the moments
that make my voice raspy.
gazing up at the moon
and i'm wrapped in a trance.
a willow tree waltzed around the lagoon
and asked me for one last dance.
warm waters, i see the river flooding.
warm waters, i know a change is coming.

So many are saying things unkind,
disparaging or hurting some other.
Saying whatever crosses their mind,
and often the truth they will smother.
Often each story is slightly slanted,
with a straight face, many belie.
Once it’s news it can’t be recanted,
and half a truth is still 100% lie.

Lyric
THE SUN BURNS ON MY FACE LIKE THE CRUST OF THE EARTH.
MY FLESH FEELS LIKE DEW AS IF I WERE FRESH FROM BIRTH.
I LONGED TO HEAR UR RASPY VOICE BLOWING THRU THE TREES.
AS IN OLDEN DAYS WHEN THE SOUND WOULD BRING ME TO MY KNEES.
I'VE OFTEN WONDERED WHAT I'D SAY IF I SAW UR FACE AGAIN.
BUT NOW THAT I HAVE IT'S BITTERSWEET AND NOW THIS IS THE END!!!!!!

Dramatic Verse
FATAL TRUTH
It was the innocence in your eyes
That poured out a dawning glow
You smiled and a thousand worries
Unbundled the heart
Your flow was raspy but gentle
Melting through every breaker
But your sudden thunder
Brings a wholesome wonder
Thus to every darkened" sun
There arises a lone voice
Stirring the heavens
To spread its lights
Only on one

His voice, commanding attention
Deep and loud, raspy around the edges
Slight twang, powerful, engaging
I raised my eyebrows
My attention was arrested
Social media, topic of conversation
Idiotic people skills, his point of view
I stood up and grinned
Amused, I surely was,
Fingers talking, rubbish content,he rasped
Just like silicon boobs
I burst into laughter

We mourn the
death of Tina
Turner;
her raspy voice
was simply the best.
A mix of
pop rock,
soul, and blues.
Her songs
earned her the
title of
Queen of rock and roll.
And her worldwide fans loved
her;
androgynous voice.

Verse
At the mention of death
everyone freezes
And so draw in their last breath
Lay very still in your coffin
with faces looming
don't worry; its common
high over their heads you are,
they're chanting something,
I'm not headed to a car.
This roads kinda bumpy
you open your mouth
my voice sounds raspy,
I'm being dragged like a doll
they're lowering me
ahh, I've finally reached my goal...

You can feel the breath of fall
as she blows cold air across the plain
she whispers to the sun
asking it to shine a few more weeks
while she gathers the bountiful yield
bringing closure to the seasons warmth
night temperatures begin to plummet
her breathing becomes raspy
as coldness encases
her labored breathing ceases
with a final breath she
brings forth winters frost.

Personification
Glaring shadows orchestrating the shape
Of searching for the rainbows sparkling end
So yellow beyond the airy dreamscape
The raspy wind with a howling ascend
Looking intently at the wide sky gape
The mountains worshiping from blue yonder
Celest rainbows born of peeping sunshine
Beyond the reach, betraying no wonder
Through veil of another sparkling design
With eyes of shadowy, landscape ponder

Quintain (English)
The unforgettable wild stare in his eyes
?The tenderness in his raspy voice,
?His slow lingering touch melts my core
?The caress of his lips on my neck,
The rising heat consumes me
?He knows he has me right where he wants me,
Pushed on to the bed.
?Lying naked before his wicked his smile,
One last look taken,
?One last touch felt,
?One last kiss tasted,
He left me lying on the bed in a heated mess.

I see blue sublime haze of Joni's voice
singing us this song to set us free
I see Joni's raspy, wispy, blue sublime voice
taking me back to college days when we spoke of freedom
immersing that wounded child in love
backed by a chorus of angels
on the pale white horse
riding into the sunset
telling me that truth is coming
love in every soul on planet
all but the last parasites of humanity
dawn is coming brothers and sisters.

Was there when it first happened
In crimson red
New instantly it was bad
Tests confirmed worst fears
Stomach churning and eyes burning
Things would never be the same
Months and pounds pass
Looks of concern routine
Well wishes get old
Thoughts of frustration mount
Somehow spirit still intact
Raspy breathing barely audible
Beep…beep…exhale
Last lucid thoughts not of self
Lying limp in my arms
Goodbye momma
Goodbye

The stars dance across the sky
A nightly recital of spinning and whirling
They’re in the spotlight here
But I know they’re invisible to him
Playing hide-and-go-seek offstage
I scream his name to the cosmos
In some sort of harrowed cry
Or desolate plea for redress
It comes out raspy, choked
The faraway stars have no reply
The echo returns not
I’m left standing in the dark
Mourning his mindlessnesses
Bombarded by the silence

For Timothy Lee
I oft lose my composure watching you near
for love as a muse stays our passion infused.
My insides are deliciously alive
within delights your persona designs.
Deep love still flames your ardor to ignite
me in smolders scored by surrendered cries.
Your calloused hands always feel like alpha plies
of paradise your cravings ignite and
I recall my first touch brought your raspy sigh,
“Your soft slow hand feels like flitting fireflies.”

Lyric
Thunder rumbles lightning flashes.
Druids chant rhythmic runes.
Electrifying tonights mood.
Tis Draculas Halloween bash.
Wolfman arrived in a mask
And his houndstooth zoot suit.
Six witches with red sashes
Flew loops on hickory brooms.
If Frankensteins' bride laughs
It sounds like raspy kazoos.
Ten fashionable tom cats
Wore bat festooned top hats.
As The Ghouls band played bassoons.
At Count Draculas bashes
Each dance is monster's Madness.
But the punch was new hemlock brew.
