POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
For A Day
I wish... we could meet
With the secrets we keep
Sit by my side for awhile
Find the things that made us smile
If you held my hand
It would touch my heart
Do you think they'd understand
How much it hurts being apart
Sometimes In the middle of the night
My dreams can't take flight
Broken wings... when I hit the ground
Searching for pieces, that can't be found
Did I give them all away
I'd trade forever just for a day...
I know I'm probably better off
To leave this alone
But these...

Broken wings... when I hit the ground

Part of Me
My grandma was a teacher in a one room school
She taught me how to live by the golden rule
I still have her bible that she read
I remember the things she said
I still get down on my knees before bed
My grandpaw stood tall
He plowed those fields in summer
Harvested in the fall
He taught me how to plant a seed
To give to those that are in need
That strip that lies between Flat and Savage Creek is more than a piece of land
It's a part of me and it's who I am ...

Thousand Upside Down
You always wanted to take too far
I wanted to wait on that magic star
We found pleasure in a room
In the darkness of the moon
It's now a empty tomb
Like a Roman Soldier standing strong
I never felt I was wrong
I counted on every letter you wrote
Like the ones that carved on a tree
Just above me
Fifty never found those shades of grey
A thousand just turned upside down
I hope you understand someday
I lost more than I found
Like a berry that fell to the ground
It never makes a sound
If you ever...

Sixty to Seventy-Nine
Here in Daytona all the cars look the same
Ony difference are the colors and names
Wish I could go back...
When a Superbird was running the track
Sixty to seventy-nine was the highlife of time
Car, music and girls
Were the best in the world
It's all been in decline since seventy-nine
So take me back... take me back in time
Music today, has nothing to say
Computer generated, lip sync song
Where did it all go wrong
What happened to Fleetwood Mac
Skynyrd on an eight track...

Words
Words are easy
Words are cheap
Words can cut, oh so deep
If I had a dime
For all the words that rhyme
It wouldn't be enough to pay
To correct the things you say
The truth in your lie
Only there so you don't cry
Words cut to the bone
There chiseled in stone
From my heart, there never gone
Words are cheap

Words cut to the bone
There chiseled in stone

Your Memory
When it hurts this much
I think of you and just get stuck
Like a needle in a grove of a broken love song
I drift back in time and just let it play on
No, I can't out run your memory
It's always chasing me around
Like my shadow on the ground
It just want let me be
I guess it's a part of me
I can't out run your memory
I can't out run your memory
I still can feel the softness of your hair

Let It Be
I climbed this mountain... I got so high
Just to see why you make me cry
Coming down, I thought I was going to die
Oh, let it be... don't judge me, Oh, let it be
The path of destruction, you left behind
In all the wreckage... there's nothing to find
I hold onto the memories.. there just a waste of time
Oh, let it be... don't judge me, Oh, let it be
And I know... those times were good
With all the sunshine, I never understood
How I never saw the clouds
I guess Im a stranger in the...

Here I Am
We been friends for life
We had our up and downs but never twice
I heard you got the news today
It's okay, I'm on my way
Held your hand
As you told me the test results
I hope you couldn't tell
I was breaking down inside as well
I'll be there, I'll go every mile
When you can't, I be your smile
Gonna go down to the alter
Bow my head and pray
Pray you'll find... find a sunny day
Guess I'll never understand
God's greater plan
I'd sell my soul
Just to take your place...

Four-Barrel Gone
It's two am
Me and jack been at it again
She never did like my friend
This time will be the end
I see her bags are packed
This time she won't look back
There's nothing I can say
That's gonna make her stay
At first morning light
She'll head for that Judge
And make things right
I chased her down the driveway and into the street
Just to find a yellow line a two black streaks
I heard that quadrajet moan
Cause my baby is four-barrel gone
She was born in sixty-nine
And knew how to red line
She...

My Girl
Maybe I'm just too late
But then again maybe it was you
When I think about all the years
I wonder if they were true
Somehow I got lost in time
Just too afraid too let you go
Not knowing which heart was mine
I stole another with a church bells chime
Now I see the age in my face
My life, I would not replace
When I stand at the edge of the world
I know you will always be my gril
But then again maybe it was you
When I think about all the years
I wonder if they were true
Somehow I got lost in time
Just too afraid too let you go
Not knowing which heart was mine
I stole another with a church bells chime
Now I see the age in my face
My life, I would not replace
When I stand at the edge of the world
I know you will always be my gril

Boy Meets Girl
I saw you on frozen foods aisle
I bumped my cart into yours
Just to see you smile
But when I gazed into your eyes
I saw more than I could ever realize
So I took a chance
Asked you to the cotton festival dance
You said maybe I'll see you there
You walked away like you didn't care
Didn't need no Farmers Only .com to keep me from being lonely
Didn't need a Match. com to start a fire
Didn't need some E-Harmony.com to find my love song
Didn't need a hook-up from a friend of a friend to find mine
Just the magic when...

Beyond Your Looks
I wonder if you ever think of me
I'm so afraid to know
Sometimes I just can't let it be
Like a ship upon sea
Fighting a storm
From a red sky morning
I never see the warning
You gave more than you took
I could never see beyond your looks
Wished I took the time
To see your heart was mine
I never knew you where that strong
Was I wrong... so wrong
I miss the way you do
And how time was true
You're always on my mind
The sun won't shine
The world don't rhyme
Your memory is all find
The glass is clear, the sand...
