POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Break Free
I close my eyes
Look into the sun
Watch all the colors
As they come undone
Shades of orange
Change into red
Thoughts of her
Flashing in my head
Gotta break free
From the chains
The chains that bind me
Just once, I wanna know how it feels
Just to let go of the wheel
To look into the sky
And let my spirit fly ...
Look into the sun
Watch all the colors
As they come undone
Shades of orange
Change into red
Thoughts of her
Flashing in my head
Gotta break free
From the chains
The chains that bind me
Just once, I wanna know how it feels
Just to let go of the wheel
To look into the sky
And let my spirit fly ...

I Always Fail
So...
So the sun will rise
Blue skies
Will never prevail
Always a story to tell
Like a queen I should hail
Somehow I always fail
Passion is kept under lock and key
But not for the world to see
They all think she cares
It's a masquerade she shares
But for me it's never there
Stuck here
Here in my mind
Somewhere between seven and nine
Cold words and silence is all I find
Is it shades of green
That imprison me
Have I been blind
In a game of control ...

Freedom
Well there's a boy
With long hair
Driving his grandpa's truck
He's got the windows rolled down
Music turned up
He thinks he's got it so good
There's a girl
Riding shotgun
Got her feet on the dash
Peace sign anklet on
Says she's a superstar
Ain't that freedom
For you and me
Ain't that freedom
Why can't they let it be
Ain't that freedom
From the ones that gave all
May freedom never fall
There's a young woman
Love is on her tee-shirt
A...

Little Wendy
Sttin' here by the river
In a field of stone
Under these oaks
Like Gracie
I guess we're all here alone
Hey Little Wendy, where have you gone
They say good and evil is what you hold
I think they misunderstood
As they chipped away at your soul
Your bowls were never empty
They just couldn't see
You were here to remind us
To watch over our heart and give unselfishly
The garden is empty, the birds have lost their...

What's Wrong What's Right
When I see that harvest moon rise
Above the cedar trees
I think how you looked and a warm summer breeze
The way you held me that night
I get lost in those thoughts and lose touch
With the things that surround me
I'm a man, I believe
What is wrong and what is right
I hold my wife and children close at night
But now and then
Your memory comes crashing in
I'll ask for forgiveness
I'll love you until the end
When I hear the wind whisper
Through the Georgia...

Empty Pen
Divided by space and time
You're the poem
I'm the rhyme
Just an empty pen
No paper within
Searching for words
Something you never heard
I love you is such a cliche'
Reaching into the night
What do I say, what do I do
To make this story come true
I need a clue from you
My heart explodes when we touch
I didn't know I could feel so much
Your body against mine
It feels like the first time
I'm loosin' control, you say take it slow
(I'm loosin' control)
You...

Helluva Life Without God's Grace
Walking on the edge
Of life's highway
Sometimes the good
Brings the bad our way
Failures are reminders where we went wrong
If we learn, they make us strong
Livin' on faith is never a compromise
You'll find the truth without surprise
This merry-go-round
Goes round and round
In this life of a playground
Jokers and clowns
Is all I found
Helluva life
Without God's grace
You're only paralyzed
If you lay by the pool and wait
You can't...

Racing The Devil
Like a stingray
Moving through the shadows of the night
Street lights like lightning
Flashing across the dash
Wheels turning against the highway
Singing out a new song
No one will understand
If am right or wrong
Sun comes up
The world keeps turning around
Salvation just can't be found
Crossroads are always in the way
When you're racing the devil
Down a lost highway
Her beauty was like no other
She took me by the hand
She showed me the way
I sold my soul
On that hot summer's...

Pinky Swear
I can't say
If our paths will cross again
But I refuse to believe
This is the end
Like prison walls
It keeps me from the falls
If you want the truth
I miss you
And the things you do
When I hear our favorite song
I turn it up and sing along
I get lost in the rhythm and rhyme
I drift back in time
I think of you
Wish you were here
If I said I still care
Will you be there
I'll always love you
I pinky swear
I see you everywhere I go...

Six Pack Kinda Love
There we were
Sittin' on the bench
In the game of love
They say three strikes and your out
Somehow we hit a home run
We're not crazy
Just crazy for those six kids
Without any doubt
We grab that six pack
And never looked back
We had good times
We had our share of bad
We been happy and we
We been sad
God blessed us with love
From heaven above
You and me
And...

One Memory At A Time
Oh.. I'm lost
lost in this sea
Uncharted waters
For sure
No wind
For these sails
Out here is hell
I've seen better days
She buried all
Your memories
No treasure map did I fine
I'm a pirate
Sailing the seas
Searching for love
In your memories
I'd beg, borrow and steal
It's the only way I can feel
To find my way to you
One memory at time
I'm weathed and worn
Broken and torn
I guess she knows...

Two Hearts
Cloak-and-dagger love
Not for the world to see
Bittersweet and full of mysteries
She was a daddy's girl
Livin' in a husband predisposed world
All she wanted was to feel loved
He was a country boy
Married to a city girl
He wasn't included in all her cloy
Two hearts search for desire
Two others feeds the fire
Two hearts that now belong
Two others will never see the wrong
Two hearts on a one-way street
Two others will never try to compete
Who will be the lonely ones
...
