Your Dreams & Drive

Keep those dreams & also your drive

It’s what you want – It’ll help you to survive

You shouldn’t hide the fact – it’s what you strive for

Harder & harder –Push Push –then you’ll have more

Evil, Wicked, Mean & Nasty – beating you to the ground

You’ll find them lurking in every corner around

Give it your best-then find out how quick you’ve adjusted

Remembering your dreams-knowing you’re to be trusted

Tell them what you think –also how you feel

Keeping in mind-your dreams-those you don’t conceal

So be robust-even at times- somewhat demanding

Shortly your there-among the best-withstanding

Now its time-go & get um-tell um- point blank

Making sure you’re understood-it’s not a prank

Move on-give um both barrels-go ahead

Act out your part-you’re a real thoroughbred

You did your share-now-there turn to pay the price

No more shit-no more self sacrifice

All the while-your dreams are in tact-also your drive

Finally a portion of your life- outstanding-a power dive

A Grey Area (lies)

Here’s an area-in which- I don’t want to play

White or black-very simply-gives you gray

Never use cheating-unless-it’s a well know fact

Never say you lie-you’re plainly loosing all your tact

Damn-so many times-you’ve walked that so fine a line

Coming in so elegantly late –breathe-reeking of wine

Repeatedly-told me –an abundance of attractive lies

Plainly- I’m sick-tired-of all your alibis

White on black-standing still- in that gray

Who in hell-has a 20 hour working day

Paling around-so you say-with all your friends

Following day-your sins-you want to cleanse

Possibly-that fine line-where you wish to be found

I’m so tired-of riding your silly ass- merry-go-round

Anything else-purely is needless to say

White on black-undeniably-gives you an area of gray

Your disorder-in my life-has left me in such a state

This love of mine-simply I must abdicate

Never-had a thought of this-so near our wedding day

White on black-puts you frankly in that area called grey

A Beautiful Flower

Girl – so young & shy

Tender – vicarious – neat

Please tell us why

Need faith – need not to cheat

Harvest gold was her hair

Features of a cloud

Young – gracious - & fair

Never cries aloud

Hiding in her life’s time

Eventually only to discover

Life’s elegant wine

Blossoming – to a beautiful flower

A Mask For Money

My sky will still be hanging – once you leave

Holding my own – at a steady rate

Pulling your arm out of my sleeve

You’re wearing a mask – just for the money

An easy way out – spurned my last minute plea

Messing with my mind – no legitimate reason – I can see

So many loopholes – in your trust – I find it so funny

You’re wearing a mask – just for the money

My moon will still twinkle – yet for me you’re gone

A groundless rumor – a chess game with no pawn

You pulled your rug – right from under me honey

You’re wearing a mask – just for the money

You once were a friend – decisively more on time

From you to me – for only $ 9.99

To do and discuss – such a great decision

Simply a woman’s choice – explicitly her revision

Another day – in my life – a 2^nd chance affair

Your yes’s– a breath of summer nights air

Your kiss – claiming only my cheek

Wishing you no sorrow – for your new found honey

Still wearing your mask – only for the money

A Quiet Man

A quiet man – once was I

True – believe it – if you may

Somehow it changes – contemplate that – why

Long ago – quietly did I sigh ?

People would often say – what ?

Cautiously – I said things so soft

Words – I used – they sought

Some looked at me & scoffed

Changes – again – what a new me

Quiet – words again hard to understand

Changes can be made happy

Again – a quiet man I am

A Mistake In Manhattan

Riding out there-feeling a little despair

My mind-pouring over it-smoke still in the air

Fire everywhere-thoughts-can’t wait to get back

There I was-all alone-bushwhacked

Strange-it certainly seems-my wishes-got cut straight out

Dire needs-prescribed someone-with a lot of clout

Brand new ideas-options-which seemed to be fact

There I was-all by myself-bushwhacked

No need for an alarm-to get up at six

Knees buckling-like little sticks

Digging-that hole deeper -always looking over my back

There I was-all by my self-bushwhacked

There’s no way out-it’s an engagement with fire

I’ve taken that relaxed route-she responded-your such a liar

An opportunity -shifting into high gear-still no slack

There I was –all by myself- bushwhacked

A pace setting experience- some real spicy advice

I’m looking –not for it all-just for a slice

It was a mistake in Manhattan-that had to be backed

As always there I was-all by myself-bushwhacked

As A Friend

Wake up in the morning

Stirring – yet not a sound

No inkling of a warning

Next to me – she’s not to be found

Out of bed & arise

Someone must pretend

Not a soul there – shock – surprise

No one to approach as a friend

No longer is she to be sought

Still not wanting to defend

This is the way she was taught

No one to approach as a friend

A Stone Stone Heart

She’s a cold cold woman – this much I know

Loves verbal battles – on me she always did bestow

Swore I’d love her – till death did us apart

She has a stone stone heart

She’ll toss her coin – to win or lose

She’ll toss her coin – just to amuse

She’ll toss her coin – to stay or depart

She has a stone stone heart

Chills you down with her intense look

Hang in there buddy – she knows what you took

Hand in hand always – we were never apart

She has a stone stone heart

Expect the unexpected –I’ve always been told

Experiencing everything – drops me – left me cold

Emotional waves – man what an upstart

She has a stone stone heart

Gave her my all – in this there was no debate

I could never breach her gorgeous armored plate

Day after day – it was the same fairy tale

Tried & tried – to no avail

I really thought you were my one true counterpart

Guess Again

She has a stone stone heart

Beautiful People

Beautiful people – I know now

Strange – oh ! how did we meet ?

Casually talking – far from the snow

At a party – off the beaten street

A friend’s friend – whom I just met

Not understanding – as just yet – how to be

Knowing none – as this you can see

Strange – I’m not really me

After the party – to the house I went

Years past – a friendship – really did grow

Happy times – the two of us spent

Beautiful people – I know now

A Woman Of The 90's

Watching the wind caress her face

Catching the glitter from its loving embrace

See her dancing – as if on a cloud

Life’s riches letting her live utterly proud

A woman who respects – what she’s living

Never flaunting – yet ever so giving

Gift’s were given – although never – was she at ease

She is simply a woman – of the 90’s

Watching her cascade – beyond that street

An eerie feeling – of immense heat

Can’t seem to function – nor move any limb

Then someone bumps into you – says – hey watch it Jim !

An angel brought forward – with her creation

You’d love her – regardless of your denomination

Gliding through obstacles – against all grain

Walking in a thunderstorm – never hit by a drop of rain

A woman of the 90’s – appealing – so civilized

A woman of the 90’s – wishing – only to harmonize

A woman of the 90’s – beauty – strength – in her abound

A woman of the 90’s – never looking back – nor to the ground

Bell

Once we were lovers

We thought – it to be right

No one ever discovers

This was our plight

So hard – to find the time

Discovering – our rights from wrongs

Right – thinking she could be mine

Wrong – when the noon bell gongs

Oh – where had the time flown

I sat – thought – could this really be

Bringing back her fragrance of cologne

So hard to believe – she’s gone from me

Another Dangerous Colour

Turn your green light on – shut all others out

Me with a positive smile-and if that’s in doubt

Ask what you will-you’ll even hear me grin

When that greens not on- I’ll be taking it on the chin

Flash me a signal-in as much as you can

Want to be your lover –want to be your man

Want to be the light of your life- oh- no matter how

Still only to pick you up-and not yet by car

I’m that oh so lonely stove in your house

Transforming – when the lights you douse

I’m the lamp – standing on your bedroom table

Oh – so very close to you- oh so very able

I’m that toaster in the kitchen- ready in a moment –to rise

On any of these occasions-don’t forget all the highs

I’m the car in your drive- ready to start and roll

Into your future- through all light-not into a black hole

So say what has to be said- it’s straight to those brass tacks

Truth being- your squeezing my mind-with those hard facts

Glaring-that bright green light-she must have read my mind

Another dangerous colour- unexpectedly so hard to find

Body

Marvelous face – perfect complexion

Eyes of blue – deep with emotion

Cheeks – perfect bone – without deflection

Lips – moving around to a beautiful commotion

Chin – elegant – perfectly sound

Neck – tender – long & Paris white

Breasts – abundant & oh so spellbound

Hips – hourglass type - & just perfectly right

So tell me – what do you really think

Of this woman – so beautiful & fair

Would you be manly – or in the pink ?

So would you dream – or only stare

Breaks A Camels Back

It’s the straw that broke the camels back

Never from all your love- only from its lack

Begging you for another chance-just one more time

Swearing- never again-nor to fall over that line

Repeatedly saying-sorry the damage is done

Spiting-pointing out the door-your not the one

Screaming-get out –don’t ever come back

That straw you laid – broke the camels back

Doubtfully-you can say-it’s neither love nor hate

My wheel of love –I had to eradicate

Reading me –isn’t as easy as an old paperback

That straw you laid – broke the camels back

Guess- if at all you can- or choose if you dare

Your attitude – towards me-simply say –the devil may care

So demonic at times-not just a matter of fact

That straw you laid-broke the camels back

Easily read-your games-purely a double deal

Spinning me around-as if I were a dial a wheel

My time-I’ve chosen for that counter attack

No longer the straw that broke the camels back

Finally realizing-how I am ever so satisfied

In addition- I’ve regained all my hidden self pride

So if any one ever- wants to give you a real good smack

Ultimately -It’ll be the straw that broke the camels back

Call

Oh woman – how you called me

Say – you’re no longer as you were

You are the one – all for me

Always to me – you were so fair

Let me view you then

Standing – I drew you so near

Glad – you said – remember when

This time – no mention of fear

We’re now moving forward

Love – around us falling

Two people in the west – onward

Oh – love – glad it’s me your calling

Brown Paper Bag

Hey how do you like it – let me see

In a brown paper bag - & baby it’s free

How many times have people gone to see

What’s in that brown paper bag - & open it to me

How many times – we’ve checked it out

That brown paper bag – really has some clout

Some of those people – haven’t got a thought

That brown paper bag – the trouble it has wrought

Try so hard to open it - & look inside

That brown paper bag – got you hypnotized

Carrying it down – to your place to rest

That brown paper bag – really looks a mess

Now try & think – is it worth my time

That brown paper bag – got a hold on your mind

If you let it pass – what have you lost

That brown paper bag – it’s free to you – at no cost

Open it up – like a strong man of war

Carrying it around – makes you feel the part – commodore

Peek inside now – could be your last chance of hope

That brown paper bag – may have been in your horoscope

Chasing

It is very true – a mistress I now chase

Down – the fields of my mind

Love – wanting to grasp that embrace

Thinking – I’m not openly that unkind

You my darling – I could love so much

As you know – I also can adore

Longing for your body – to touch

My love – you leave me in such an uproar

Into my dreams I think

Next to me – your sizzling body heat

So close – I know I’m on the brink

Fantastic – Elegant – my love - oh so bittersweet

Chased (for some strange reason)

Someone – save me –from that nasty man

Expertly knows-exactly were I am

Finds me-with his means-where ever I’m at

Heats on me- like turning a thermostat

Had no idea-she was forbidden fruit

All she wore- that skimpy bikini suit

Eyes on him-every where I’d turn

With me –end up burnt-in an urn

I’ll put miles between us – thought I could hide

Strangely enough-I believe there to be a homicide

Hey-all I did –was meet –party- with this chick

Who’d think-she’d have eyes-for a lunatic

Think I’ll cruise on down to Mexico

Or north-hang out with some Eskimo

Still-don’t think any of this will ever help

With luck like mine-I’ll probably end up a pelt

Just confront him-cut the crap-act like a real man

Well-he’s here-in his shinny new sedan

Say-why are you always running-away from me pal

Just wanted to congratulate you-and your gal

Thanks For A Little Mercy

Content

A miracle – finally a yes

Keep that thought – it’s no jest

Classically happy – a man in light

No longer do I daydream

Impartial – yet keen

Content – the word of life

Never again to despair

Horizons – it’s the largest lair

Content – from my deepest

Dancing To The Top

Sweet thing-push yourself-right to the top

Those tight jeans-sweater-makes everyone-just stop

Your dancing-imitates a snowflake-in a blazing fire

That magic-in your dancing-leaves naught for desire

Looking absolutely cool-you’ve never been this high

Watching –your distinctive moves-see it in there eyes

Body’s moving-like a snake-on an oiled floor

Those guy’s-sneaking in –through the back door

To get a glimpse-of your strange hot style

People-from everywhere-lines longer than a mile

There checking you out –now baby-lets keep it cool

There in awe-like students-leaving Sunday school

Oh so high on life-don’t think you’re ever coming down

Accomplishing it-you’ll soon be moving uptown

Round-round-this way and that-there on your hook

Ask-anything you dream of-opening there check book

An authentic goddess-that’s what there calling you

Hearing about you-all the way from Timbuktu

Final jump-spinning-doing a mesmerizing twirl

Up in arms-audience-yelling-clapping-you made it girl

Cries

A man never cries

People even say yes

To me – they are heavy sighs

Myself – I say oh really guess

People really don’t know

When someone you hold dear

Is taking a lover from far below

Loving so – never again to be near

At times it’s hard to talk to someone

Love I had – knew - & lost

Telling no one – no one there

Very deep & definitely heavy – was my cost

Deserted

Rakes my soul-knowing its going to be a while

Won’t be visioning your effervescent smile

Many an evening- giggling –at what I had to say

Now- I’m feeling in oh such disarray

Jokingly- you answered- I’m seeing someone new

Very little did I have to reply-except- the daring do

Hurts- to the core-when you spit out that ridiculous talk

Feeling –so ground up-as if I were a piece of chalk

Only so many times –can a person say I Love You

Wanting to see-your elegant smile-much to long overdue

No way can I hold you-knowing I was so mislead

Deserted-not a tone-nor an utter-when that I said

Mentioned-in passing-I’m fighting a losing battle

Wanting in-on your future-yet still not to rattle

Knowing-I’m going to see you-if only in my dreams

Needing your touch-your feel- by whatever means

Ponder –my answer-I’ve changed my mind

To that question-of us being – intertwined

Seeing into our future-us-so close-so warm

Deserted- I’d forge any port – through any storm

Death Call

Love – such a capturing power

Oh ! how I have know its hold

Much longer than an hour

The tragic loss of your love

Let me describe it

Like a frightened dove

Eminent – death comes to all

So live on my dearest

To another’s death call

Do As I Please

I’m my own person – not caring what they think

Live life to its fullest – right up to its brink

Do as I please – where body & mind agree

Do as I please – where there’s everything to see

I’m my own person – striving – to be absolutely right

It’s how I like it – the sharpest of my might

Do as I please – always needing to do my own thing

Do as I please - never on a whim – never on a fling

Trying to be sensitive – like any other guy

Being all American – like mom’s apple pie

Do as I please – above all – to be honest

Do as I please – anything less – is just second best

Being you own person – also means to be straight

Yet doing it for other – you can also demonstrate

Do as I please – there’s always a hint of doubt

Do as I please – smiling sincerely – no sign of a pout

I’m my own person – can’t see it – then your blind

Stick around – watch as I unwind

Do as I please – where I feel – it’s the best

Do as I please – not listening to: May I suggest ?

Death

My love – I’m writing this for thee

Wishing – for loves bell to ring

True to myself – I’ll try & still see

Whatever for you I can bring

Try & catch a falling star

Catch it ! How happy you can be

Please not so far

Come with me

Forget me no more

Tired – no words – no breath

I beg you – I also implore

Who actually knows – love – the meaning - death

Down Home Sounds

Down home sounds-what we learned to play

Foot stomping-knee slapping-we were his protégé

Saturday nights-grandpas shine-giving us a lift

Down home sounds-always causing some type of rift

Hot to trot-very brutalizing

Hot to trot-always improvising

Hot to trot-so deeply laid

Hot to trot-knowing we’ll make the grade

Bodies-all the time swaying-it’s the way we felt

Forever giving-exactly what we were dealt

Good days-bad-playing 100%-oh so hard

Mama-Mama-everyone needed a bodyguard

Down home sounds-those southern blues

Busting our humps-certainly-paying all those dues

Naming-that one-the only descent game

Glancing-getting a peek-to that road to fame

Mama-Mama-think were an image maker

Women- always around-each time we start to play

Afterwards-if you wished-you could –carry them away

Laughing-joking-just having a great old time

Down home sounds-chilling- your very lifeline

Mama-Mama-were going to be a real heart breaker

Despair

Despair – no longer just a word

Despair – knowing it must be heard

Who then – will hear the sound ?

Once you’re beaten to the ground

Arise – think cooling and fair

Quietly – hear the sound of air

Hope – hope – finally has come

I see it – knowing it can be done

Trying hard – harder to see that light

We know – now our original plight

Happiness – like a summer’s fair

Come now – lets no longer despair

Eight Skate & Donate

Remembering those days-when we were young

Out on the front porch-its were we all hung

Watching-those lovely ladies-walking by

Whispering-to your buddy’s-wishing-someone would say hi

Eight-skate &donate-words you heard all the time

Then roll box sixes-watch them-into there prime

You make that point-raking in that cash

You roll again-snake eyes-shit-I crashed

All types of gambling-it was simply –the rage

We were young-easy-we all went through that stage

Although those young girls-were always on our mind

Being young boys-it wasn’t what you wanted to find

Now-being a little older-who’s saying were any wiser

Still-shooting craps-playing cards-don’t be a miser

We just don’t spend it as much-like in our younger days

We bring it home to mama-for all the bills-she can pays

Dreaming

Forever – you’re on my mind

Why then – are you so unkind ?

At times – we did talk

Wishing for a slow – lonely walk

Times – I awake in the night

Wondering – does she care – oh the fright

Times – I awake – so insecure

Happy – my dreaming made her pure

Times – I awake – in the night

Realizing – my love was right

Love awake – out of that dream

We both awake – peace & serine

Electric Fantasy

My sweet sweet angel – a glorious state of perfection

Beauty & station – movements absolute in every direction

Brought me back to life – through resurrection

Your gentle touch – needs no correction

Reminiscing – loves glowing & intimate accord

A cause for our love - to receive that beautiful reward

Sending days & nights down a spiral loving chase

Our time to feast – without saying grace

Difficult to say what’s honestly in our heart

When someone you adore – will soon depart

Yet life does dispense a reward or two

Electric fantasy – a special love & only from you

Oh how reality briskly opens our hearts door

Still in our minds eye – were looking just to score

Your love – perfectly honest – through out my reflection

Electric fantasy – my heart grows with the utmost affection

Feels so good –feels so great – as you so rightly know

Your there standing in my desert – watching it snow

Electric fantasy – reviling in your undying choice

Electric fantasy –whispering loves phrases –only to rejoice

Eternity

Eternity – the other night I saw

Each – had a speck of flaw

Dazzled with – also by her treasures

Within her – lovely flowing pleasures

Tears – thousands – along my face did run

Hands reaching – to my cheeks did come

Of sadness – of joy – I know not my place

Advancing – my tears to your face

Striving – each for a similar goal

Together – our love we hold

Eternity – a reason to pretend

Darling – let our love never end

Every Day Is A Monday

Days forever enduring-hours never to identify

Watching-unmovable hands-they seem not to satisfy

Days-constantly dragging-will they ever cease

Every day is a Monday-seemingly-never to increase

Monday’s- five of those-constitute my entire week

Not a one-with a stable type of physique

Making no difference-how one breaks it down

Five hard Mondays-pressuring-rolling around

Terminate these days-endlessly they seem to multiply

Growing-repeatedly-they just intensify

One –following another-knowing they are counterfeit

Every day is a Monday-a dark bottomless pit

Mondays-five –that do not make for fancy work

Mondays-that last one-you came with that smirk

Mondays-even that fifth one –isn’t very pleasing

Mondays- exceptional-only during football season

That fifth one- has finally arrived-a shadow-a slight overcast

A mini two day vacation-I’m about to forecast

Look at the hour teller-one hand up-the other to the right

Big man walking-says-I need you tomorrow night

Every day is a Monday-maybe a beer- a Monday night fight

Face

Eternity – the other night I saw

Each had a speck – of a flaw

Dazzled with - & by her treasures

Within her – lovely flowing pleasures

Tears – hundreds – along my face did run

Hands reaching – to my cheeks in unison

Of sadness – of joy – I didn’t know my place

Advancing – my tears – to your face

Striving – each for a similar goal

Together – our love we did console

A beautiful face – glistening all around

Your face – leaves me happily – spell-bound

Eyes Of Brown I

Eyes of brown – so pretty they are

Shining beautiful – like a heavens star

Hair so long - & pretty brown

So young – beautiful – eyes of brown

Eyes of brown – a girl of your age

Like a beautiful rose – in a budding stage

Lovely are you – stay as you are

Eyes of brown – beautiful art thou

Eyes of brown – Eyes of brown

Always smiling – never a frown

Such eyes – in heaven they need

Pronouncing – your every deed

Eyes of brown – tender they are

Tantalizing & sweet - & adoringly gay

So true – as a new born flower

Warm & tender – drenching as a night’s shower

Eyes of brown – a flower in the spring

Canaries – so beautiful – as you sing

Your youth – with age’s glory

Eventually – your own true story

Eyes of brown – sun glistening in them

Falling like the petal of a rose – from the stem

Small is the worth of these lines

Tomorrow – still beautiful – different times

Faithful Lover

I’m a faithful lover

Holding us together

You will discover

Cloudy or even fair weather

I’m a faithful lover

Proving it – easily to do

Not hard to uncover

Giving love to you

I’m a faithful lover

The truth is – I can say

Wish you to be my lover

Love me - please please stay

Eyes Of Brown II

Eyes of brown – ever so calm

Serene – as a tree called palm

Into them staring – mans mind is lost

Lovely girl – so is the principle cost

Eyes of brown – they’re ever so true

Heavens honor – dispensed to you

Fair & quiet – I have thee known

Words to you – from me – this poem

Eyes of brown – soft & un-cried

Sweet child – sleep – sandy eyed

Dream of days – so beautifully spent

For you my young love – are so innocent

Eyes of brown – youthful & free

A beautiful girl – you are to me

Young – thoughtful - & oh so true

Remembering – how nice of you

Eyes of brown – a sea of stars

Capturing planets – as far as Mars

Your beauty – now in life’s change

Growing older – funny isn’t life strange

Eyes of brown – soft in my heart

A lovely girl – we will never grow apart

These lines – are not meant to be blue

Always remember my phrase – I’ll always love you

Feeling

Behold her – walking through the skies

Radiant – sun glistening – in her eyes

You heavenly face – I can restore

Without your love – I am no more

I have this touch of sorrow – or is it pain

When seeing you – its there again & again

Your voice – so soft – as you spoke

Just can’t answer – love is in my throat

A wonderful feeling – has finally come to me

She said – oh how I love thee

Now total sweetness – throughout our day

The two of us – never ending in our own way

Face Of Dreams

Their names-always seem to be changing

Oh how much-we want them to be real

My love for her-exactly-how I want to feel

Face of dream-I just want to steal

She’s the world-wearing that beautiful dress

Blue-green eyes-beaming-ever so bottomless

They’ll cut you open-letting that love flow

Face of dreams-the passion-we’ll always know

Your love is absolute-so extremely good

Still from you-I’m highly misunderstood

With out you-time is an endless flight

Face of dreams-don’t just reply-it was alright

Those naked flames-love- always situated in my mind

Exciting-on the edge-begging-don’t be unkind

Relentlessly-a wonderful lover-this I know to be

Face of dreams-flavor my love-setting my heart free

Sooner-not later-I’ll see that demanding elegant face

No where on earth-would she be called common place

Face of dreams-please- your unleashed offering

Face of dreams-anything-besides you’re imprisoning

Face of dreams-I’ll love you- unfaltering

Gentle

Softly – you lying beside me

Your check – upon my chest

Joyful & happy are we

Sleep – I say – we need the rest

Mornings here – no longer a iron gray

Bright – sun – so all aglow

The day long – all she could say

Happy were not just – status quo

Evenings we heard echo’s ring

From her shoulders – did slip her dress

As is our love – we’re here to sing

Each others love – did we caress

From The Bottom Up

Life at the top – when you’re upside down

They think your smiling – reality – it’s just a frown

Anyway – it’s forward & upward – or is it down & around

Depends –if you’re crying –I won’t make much of a sound

Some people say; Life’s a bitch & then you die !

Believe them if you will – but wait – it just may be a lie

Definitely – make the best of it – no matter what they say

Can’t give a damn less – no options – no other way

Life at the top – when you’re upside down

Believe if you will – if not – I’ll watch you come around

The harder you try – the better it’s going to be

By striving – ultimately more – this you can see

So damn them if they don’t – hooray if you do

I’m busting ass for myself – in no way for you

The best of my capabilities – I’m trying to achieve

From the bottom up – I’ll gladly make – every one believe

I’m not looking at it – like everyone says they do

Looking out for number one – it’s more for me than you

Bust your ass- move up that ladder

It’ll make you better – others a little sadder

I’m not saying that it always comes true

Still I said before – better for me – zip for you

Now – it all depends – on how hard you want to succeed

Do it for yourself – let them talk – that B.S. - you don’t need

Life at the top – when you’re upside down

May be controversial – your life must go on

Moving up or down – no matter – you’ll grab that crown

Life at the top – when you’re upside down

Heard

So beautiful – a union to remember

We had such soft dreams

Could this really last till December

Wishing we had the means

We walk hand in hand

Saving so much of what we said

Exactly like “Snow on Sand”

Wishing for us – never to be dead

Don’t take your love from me

Nothing will ever change my word

I know both of us can’t be free

“Bye” the last word I ever heard

Grapes Of America

Sitting here – waiting for Ma-Bell to ring

Through those currents – your cords would sing

Fingers are linked – I’m leaning on the wall

Drinking grapes of America – feeling like a fireball

Peering through the windows of the world

Recollecting – how together – our paths were hurled

Watching me trip – then those bottles being tossed

Drinking grapes of America – in my eyes mind – you’re embossed

Struggling – Regaining composure – as must as I was able

Hey I said: As I tripped – fell forward on our table

Reaching – I thought for help – I ducted from your slap

Drinking grapes of America – like opening a water tap

People sneering – pointing at guess who !

Clarity – a virtue – but not while holding that corkscrew

As bad weather moves closer – then it rolls in

Drinking grapes of America – too much – your head will spin

I tried to stand – helpless – there on my face I went

Felt so childish – oh so full of embarrassment

Expressions & words – wouldn’t think of coming out straight

Drinking grapes of America – I certainly did celebrate

Lonely

Crying of a lonely man

She just may hear

Still – who can understand ?

She might laugh or even jeer

Hoping – that no one will look

Hiding – still not to my delight

She has enough to write a book

I have that certain look – fright

Not only to be depressed

Someone may hopefully understand

Also not ever to be distressed

Cry quietly – my oh so lonely man

Half My Life

Half my life – to a job – I dedicate

I’m home the other half – trying to reciprocate

Half my life I’m traveling down that road

Moving very quickly – forward & bold

Sneaky Pete left nothing for his campaigning

Day or evening – he must keep training

Half my life – I spend trying to find a mate

Half my life – I hold in awe – so willing to relate

Fact of the matter – you’re usually extremely beat

Be it winters cold or blazing summer heat

Half my life – watching my forward pace

Half my life – pulled toward our rat race

Out through the door – exposing my inner core

Hurts so bad – when they want so much more

Half my life – I’m on hold – so no one can steal

Half my life – I just don’t – wish to reveal

Half my life – an uneventful kiss

Half my life – unfortunately – I’ve missed

Half I believe – should be looking very nice

Half I believe – is just a roll of the dice

Loveliest

I’m now seeing the loveliest woman born

She came from loves beauty horn

Loving her truly – oh so good

Her loving me – freely – it’s understood

Her love really is exceptionally innocent

Mine – like always – so hesitant

Of her own sweet will

Love bursting – she’ll be happy till

My heart – approved of her giving

Together – the two of us living

Our love – never again to be torn

I’m now seeing the loveliest woman born

Happiness

When this makes you happy I’m happy to

Being down, I’m sad only for you

Your not deserving of the wrath you were given

Such feelings were not to be felt, simply driven

Happiness is so much more then what we think

Money & power- you can toss them in the drink

Bringing this message home –healthier than hell

A first class in your body & mind – all’s going well

It’s not always as you like it – times do really get rough

So don’t gamble – life’s not all bad stuff

You’re a wide receiver – not playing just to fate

Its price may be ok – yet still not all that great

Happiness –it has but one simple rule

Put that idea on hold – quit acting the fool

Thinking hard now – finding hero’s of our time

Sooner or later –were breaking down that old design

When you see such changes- it’s a deceivingly new wave

Accept this short notice-never let your mind be a slave

Happiness- grasping that last drive –in the right direction

Happiness – an honest state of being- not a misconception

Lover

Beautiful lady – be my lover

In a room – no one to discover

During those precious moments of the day

Within us – our love can slip away

I know you’ll always understand

My love to you – like no one can

My heart constantly moving

My love – ever so soothing

None of those single lonely regrets

Our love – never any vengeful threats

Hold me closer & be so fair

Beautiful lady – be my lover

Her Soul

Oh girl – I’d receive all you give

If only together – we could live

Intimate moments – we have had

Each sounding – like we were glad

Your heart – wishing it would ask me

My soul – happy it would be

Seeing you – the hours long

Relief in my heart – never that lonely sound

Beauty – in all our powers

Loving each other – throughout the hours

Heaven – she put her hand in mine

Together – Lovingly – so divine

Marvel

Sweet sounds her beautiful voice

Serenity – give me the choice

Together are all her feelings

Seems to me – we’re always reeling

Believe me – I’ll be tender

Such loveliness – is your splendor

Take me by surprise

Marvel – that gaze in your eyes

So in your distant mind of dreams

Directing those flamboyant schemes

Tell me – just say yes

Making me so happy & never have to guess

Hot & Cold

Hot & Cold – is how you been lately to me

Hot & Cold – something I can’t handle or even see

Just can’t cope – with that garbage any more

Sure wished it were different – I’m sick – I’m sore

Why do you do all these stupid things to me ?

Can’t you sense you’re losing something – can’t you see

Hot & Cold – I really think you’re all wet

Hot & Cold – count on it – on it I’ll bet

Have we or even I – changed all that much

Hell – even your picture – I’ll have to retouch

Hot & Cold – is the way you’re always talking

Hot & Cold – once you’re staying – next you’re walking

I really wish you’d make up your watered mind

Still only for you & not for all womankind

Hot & Cold – I hope – is not a new way of life

Hot & Cold – just cuts me like a Bowie knife

Now here’s a chance to come back into my heart

For that perfect relationship - & reclaim that new start

Hot & Cold – something I hope will be never more

Hot & Cold – words I wish you would ship off to Singapore

Means

Give all your love

Obey your own heart

Be as a dove

Reconcile – never part

Scope – we two have yet

Never – were there any dreams

See you a day – only yet

If only we two had the means

Hope – for much more hope

Pray for a higher high

Here again – we have our scope

Ascending – loving in the sky

Imitation Fantasy

Wow ! check her out – classic – what a sexy voice

In my wildest dreams – I’ve made my choice

How can you not like her – how could you not stare!

Imitation Fantasy – Wow! – just to dream of an affair

Fanaticizing about her – chills the marrow in your bone

Wishing to hold her – as if she were a holy stone

When she’s talking – you melt right on the spot

Imitation Fantasy - dreaming - a beautiful grassy plot

Can’t help yourself – fantasizing day & night

Away from her friends – holding her in the moonlight

Why can’t I have her – probably because you haven’t tried

Imitation Fantasy – when you wake – you’re all bright eyed

Dream darling – I know your very well to do

The love of my life – the things I’d do for you

Yet – you always have someone right by your side

Imitation Fantasy – making love on the morning-tide

Sweet darling – let me love you – all body – all being

I’ll tell you how I feel – with all my answering

Yet if you tell me to leave & just kindly stay away

Imitation Fantasy – will bring you back – until I’m silver-gray

Mind

My expressions – hoping it always appears

Always within your hemispheres

Taking over your day & night

Never ever losing sight

We each have such honest hearts

Realistically – we’re not different parts

Holding you forever in mind

Uniqueness is your only kind

Our love – simply one

Both of us or none

Now – it’s just you & I

Neither loses – Neither will say goodbye

Ladies Of The Night

Dreams of money – flowing through your head

First thought in mind – someone’s dead

As it passes by – you see that glare

Your second glance – makes you just stare

What in the hell – is he doing around here

Checking the scene for someone – they must be near

That black cadillac driving down this lonely street

Coming out of the shadows – I caught a peek

That black cadillac – slowly down the street it glides

Dark windows all around – behind them – that man hides

Off those ladies of the night – he makes his money galore

Gives them next to nothing – to him they’re just a whore

Ladies of the night – methodically waving that hand

For some guys – it’s definitely a magic fairy land

At a passing car – bus - or even a truck

Most of them wishing – for a change – in their luck

Some of them – as gorgeous as our day

Others – uglier than a freezing day in May

They are the ones who’ll definitely say

No unwanted gifts – do I want to bring home today

Fleet footed they are – when they see that blue & white

Full of fear & hate – drenched with fright

Getting caught again – just one more time

Means their ass is grass – their life’s on the line

That black cadillac – tooling down the street

Once in awhile – you’ll hear that beep

Those Ladies come running – a sneer – crossing their face

Slow down bitch – I’m the man – where’s my grace ?

Motions

Where ever it is that you may be

My heart – you’ll always command

Simply by your motions to me

Or the magic of you demand

Call me anytime – my divine

With your words – your wishes

I’ll build for you that shrine

For all you love & all your kisses

Motions – enjoy them – I hope you may

Within all your glory

Call me any time of day

My motions – will tell the story

Life Of A BMW I

I came to you – early one day

With great new of our flight

Very early one May

Hoping you wouldn’t have any fright

The beamer – already on the plane

Some luggage in hand

Delay – a little rain

Gut feelings – oh so grand

Flight was called – an hour late

Happily – sitting holding hands

Down – through the hall – then the gate

Another 8 hours till we land

Pilot announces – Frankfurt is near

Laughing with each other – a time to relate

Leaving the plane – we’re at our gate

Sitting on the beamer – accelerate

In Europe – oh so happy are we

We stop – for a glass of wine

Maybe tomorrow – we’ll wind up in Paree

Relaxing & feeling oh so fine

Back to the hotel – into the room

Enjoying ourselves – we’re both so free

Love is blossoming – to full bloom

We’re both so happy – you and I – just to be

My Glass

Drink with me – a little wine

While still hours are so divine

Leaving that kiss – upon my glass

My total being – you hold within your grasp

We drank together freely

Your love – it’s all I want – really

I’ve tasted those tender lips

My hands – grasping your lovely hips

Your perfume – always floating in the air

Knowing it belongs – only to that golden hair

Your love – I’ve known so long & had

Now being so ecstatic - & simply – oh so glad
