POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
One of a kind
If I had to place
a label on me
Id brand myself
a living breathing mystery
Somewhere between
a good strong cup of coffee
before church on Sunday morning
And that lost or lonely Saturday night
one past too many, shots of whiskey
you just can't keep from pouring
One of a kind
aging like yesterday's wine
strolling around with no sense of time
living like there's no tomorrow
up here in the mountains of Colorado
There ain't alot I haven't seen ...

In Too Deep
I know I'm not the only one
But the only one I neeeed
is someoooone to love
What is it that makes me feel
Gotta find somebody
Somebody Thats real
Lord knows
that I muuuuust
I just don't know who
I can truuust
please help find the one
You made for me...
come show me
what love really means
The only thing that my heart needs
Someone to hold and love me
To keep me
from running these streets
I wanna feel that rush
That makes me...

Out in the rain
Through my days,
Due to all my
stubborn ways
I'd never truly found the one
Then you walked into my life
I made you my wife
But it still seems like
I've yet to see the sun
Now these clouds that were under
Honey they're
starting to Gray
As the drops start to fall
I can't help but wonder through it all
how in the hell
do you and I
find our way
What does it take
to break through,
to your world
tell me how I make
it to you
baby...

These blues
Tomorrow
They say theres
always tomorrow today
but you rarely hear theeem saaaaay

Dont give a daaam

As long as theres nooo
way to wiin

Wanna come home
I wouldn't mind dying
If only it'd
bring me closer to the truth
And Id be lying
If I told you
I could somehow
make it through
I wouldn't be here
if I said
I never would
But you know
Least I can say
Ive done all that I could
Taking all of the bad
Hoping to make it good
Getting back to your love
And all That its made of
If you could reverse the hurt,
could you?
If you heard the tears here on earth?
Would you ? ...

Can't help but smile
Even if it was only
for a little while
he melted our hearts
with that big ol smile
He stood taller than most men I've seen
and if mad,
man he was meaner than mean
He was smart, keen ,clean
and sharp as a tack
if you did him right
he'd forever have your back
He was a grizzly bear
with a lambs spirit
If you had to get
something off your chest
he'd be the first that wanted to hear it
He loved too much,
everything and everyone
this is true,
He'd give the shirt off his...

Out of the cold
When the winds of life
keep changing
The soul of the beast is alive
The whole world is waiting
On which way
your gonna decide
I feel it in my bones
We all got
some of that
devil inside
And the same
goes for the light
that saves our soul
Burning so bright
aint no way to hide
you wont catch me
digging my own hole
lll be damned
if I ever get too old
To find my way
out of the cold
I have to let go
of the pain ...

Im still here
He had his demons
the ones that kept him up at night
the kind of evil
only Darkness would bring to light
he would weep for the Forgotten
the Fallen and the ones left behind
he felt so broken, alone and scared
just longing for some peace of mind
I would listen with pain as he described his cause for grief
I would reach out and embrace him trying to offer some relief
I'd say
I'm right here
have no fear you
don't have to do this alone
remember you're not on your own
you can always count on me ...

"Would he do it again"
There was a time,
he didn't have a thought about life
No opinions on what happened
good or bad
no choice on what to do or how to feel happy or sad
It was a dark time in his young life adulthood was forced upon him
at a very young age
his emotions had to remain hidden
he masked his pain
and suppressed the rage
His own well-being wasn't the only
he had to look after
For 3 little Angels depended on his care watching over them, keeping them safe
that's just how it was
for him life wasn't fair ...

Ready for the show
So much life
in a lifetime
Its plain to see
Theres not to many
different than mine
In A world full of questions
Like do We all belong here
for a reason,
And Who really knows
what waits for us in the end,
Well let me share something
with you my friend,
Just look in
the mirror
Maybe you'll
see a bit clearer
See that you're not the first
that hopes for the best
and
prepares for the worst
I promise You're not the only one
who feels...

'Feel inside'
I know the beat
Keeping my head up
putting out a reason
for me
To make it thru a time
Thats so tough
Finding someway
for my soul to heal,
With only a feeling
Oh with a healing
that I wanna feel!
Just set me up
with that sweet
soooound
So these blues
no they wont
hold me
doooown
Pass me some
of the good stuff
let me go son
and ill
Make the rest upppp
Stand back
Watch me burn
Pay close...

Many different strokes
Ive been told
by some I'm a rambler,
To many I'm known
a weary eyed
wanderlusting traveller,
and by a few others
I was lucky enough
to be called their brother
Ive spent my life
as a firm believer,
Of enjoying my time
as an easy
peaceful dreamer...
Always Looking to the stars
for the light to guide my heart
And help me On my way,
With the faith and love
to lean on
i never have
too far to stray.
