Be Optimistic
Write me a poem about the light
About how strong you are despite
The challenges you face in life
When balances don’t seem right
Sing me a song about your hopes
How you cheer even when broke
No tears in beer nothing used like dope
Except music near as an antidote
Paint me a picture with your heart
Light and airy with glee

This City's Chorus
I opened up the window,
the street noise came crashing in.
Pushing sadness in the hole
where my heart once should have been.
I see the crumpled bed sheets,
where the two of us would lie.
It’s hard to see what happened,
through these tears filling my eyes.
It feels like a hundred years,
though it’s just been a few days.
You walked

Workin' Man's Blues
I got me a second job last week,
now my mind is all filled with rage.
Cause when I opened up my paycheck,
they'd took half my minimum wage.
Now the whole damn thing didn’t look quite fair,
I snuck a peek at it again.
Guess their mamma forgot to tell them,
that robbing folks is still a sin.
Chorus:

A Song
there is a poem
written in your flesh
that commands me
to read it loudly
my lips
are trembling
the words
are burning
my tongue
your breath
in my ear
such a…
beautiful song
i listen
your body
singing alone
what a wonderful
music you are

A Love Song
I once wrote a love song
with my soul. A Shakespearean
love sonnet we could sing together.
I thought it would always keep
your body close to mine. But,
our harmony became off-key,
the words muddled.
We lay in the grass seeing faces
in the sky. (Is that cloud your face
drifting from me? Is the sky
really falling? On us?)
Your words, "I'm leaving"

Into a Song Poem Created
Story of Jesus poem did mention;
Which had become my intention;
Into music my poem was created;
When they had read it celebrated.;'
Jesus for me a great picture drew;
What I did want he always knew;
Subject of what was His creation;
Me saved from sin and my salvation.

Ghost In the Clouds
I remember the two story frame house
surrounded by a gold sea of wheat
and the summer morning before the heat
the sounds from the creek would be my rouse
the sound of water running over rocks
held no fascination as it ran
it was the clinking sound of a tin can
that made me run to the door with no

Sing a Song Poem
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars alone
How could I have ever known
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Please forgive me – I know not what I do
Please forgive me – every word I say is true
Please forgive me – I can’t stop loving you
He put

Irving Fields Sing a Song Poem
When you look at me, my heart begins to float.
All the world seems bright and gay.
There's not another one could take your place.
You make me happy, when skys are grey!
I can't give you anything but love, baby.
Let me hear you whisper, that you love me too.
Put your arms around me honey, hold me tight.
Let me

The Storm Song Poem
i hear the storm is coming
the wind is howling again,
blowing through the trees
the leaves are falling down,
the rain starts beating
on the window pane
lightning is flashing
and the sound of thunder and rain,
a sitting here shaking
don't know what to do,
tiles of my rooftop
its making me feel blue,
the birds are not singing
and no

Christmas Song Poem
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Frosty the snowman
Grandma got runover by a reindeer
Jingle bells
Silent night...
The most wonderful time of the year
Walking in a winter wonderland
Rudolph the rednose reindeer
Up on the house top...
Rockin' around the Christmas tree!
Hark the herald angels sing
Joy to the world
It came upon a midnight clear
Angels we have heard on high
Away in a
