Picking Up the Pieces
He tore my heart apart
no real love there had ever been
ripped it into a million little pieces
and scattered it to the wind.
Never having any feelings
not one teeny tiny shred of decency
he brought my world down
crashing to my knees.
But then you came along
from out of nowhere it would seem
picking up those pieces
and filling in my empty void.
Asking me to marry you
wanting me by your side
it’s been forty years together now
and it’s been a beautiful ride.
no real love there had ever been
ripped it into a million little pieces
and scattered it to the wind.
Never having any feelings
not one teeny tiny shred of decency
he brought my world down
crashing to my knees.
But then you came along
from out of nowhere it would seem

and filling in my empty void.

and it’s been a beautiful ride.

Lost in You
Whenever I come home from a long day at work
All that I want to do
Is to get lost in you
As my head is filled with your sweet laughter
All that I want to do
Is to dream about you
Yeah,
-Cause you’re the only one
that can light up my world
You’re the only one
that can lift up my soul
You’re the only one
that can make me feel whole
Cause you are the one I love- (Chorus)
When it gets hard to see what matters most
All that I want to do
Is to be close to you
When you lose your way down the...
All that I want to do

You’re the only one

Black Hearts and Withered Roses
From a time of interest I married thee and took thy hand in matrimony
Poser!
My squires were great and vast and proud, your ladies noble, sweet and loud
Loser!
From the castle, I took thee and we rode into the wood, into the grove where many have stood before
Thinker!
Still at this time, it was just us and we danced and pranced as only we could together
Drinker!
As we danced and drunk ourselves into pleasure another figure joined and stepped his steep gait in from the heather
Raining!

Don't Leave me Behind
He walks ahead of me,
at a faster pace than I.
He’s always several steps ahead,
it’s either do or die.
What’s the hurry?
Why can’t we just enjoy this time?
Try taking it a little slower,
let me finish this next rhyme.
There's no race to be won,
not that I can really see,
then he stops and waits,
ever so patiently for me.
Sometimes though I wonder,
if eventually the day will come,
when he finds it in his heart,
that I’m not his only one.
at a faster pace than I.
He’s always several steps ahead,
it’s either do or die.
What’s the hurry?
Why can’t we just enjoy this time?
Try taking it a little slower,
let me finish this next rhyme.
There's no race to be won,
not that I can really see,
then he stops and waits,
ever so patiently for me.
Sometimes though I wonder,
if eventually the day will come,
when he finds it in his heart,
that I’m not his only one.

John comes home with some unsettling news. “Gloria, my TV land wife is with child and wants to be a stay-at-home Mom.”
“You called her wife instead of the leading lady.”
“Think but this, and all is mended, that every pout advertises some lipstick and each wink is a sales pitch for mascara, while kisses are the promise of a lost passion to find its song again with Aloe Vera skin glow.”
“Your kissy-face costar is a sore subject, but not so different from me. You need a new girl on the set.”

To the groom
Hey buddy, Mr. Groom
You have always been optimistic, I mean... Look you have just put a tick in the last box, the rhetoric "it will end tears" has always been irony, you just solved the riddle.
You have put the thread right in the middle of hole in the needle.
It only meant tears of ecstasy and joy
It is your time and moment to enjoy.
It makes sense to me now that I see you teary-eyed but I tell you my brother, Even if some thing pricks your eye, don't blink as she walks down the aisle but just in case you do, videograhers have got you covered for...

the dreamless
The Dreamless
Now that he had freed himself of the past looking forward
to think thoughts not hampered by dreams of childhood and
the embarrassment of teenage years and sexual clumsiness
falling in love with the most unsuitable and undesirable person possible because she made hot waffles with blueberry jam and sometime strawberry; he still thinks of his horror when his mother thought that woman was a suitable bride for
him mainly because she was stupid and malleable.
It was that beginning that in the end made him break with his past and declare families...

The Battle for Independence
Going up the stairs leading to her flat the steps appeared to be in pain not used to anyone walking on them at this hour
The kitchen door was open I entered into a bare, but clean room no modern kitchen equipment here, but an old wash basin made of tin hung on the wall
The living room was equally bare Pictures on the wall had been taken down yellow squares showing where they had been, and simple furniture except for a big table near the window, I pulled out a chair and sat down to a profound silence, so awesome I fell asleep.

Late afternoon the sun has left the terrace and is in the back throwing up dust before reluctantly slinking west and sinking
into the sea beyond the seas.
The town-scape, is charming red roofed dwellings among the many trees that are deep green this time of the year.
Near the sea two big edifices, one has luxury flats on top for the people called the “jet-set” It is here scrawny women live
on lettuce a day and Valium.
Next to to that house, a white elephant, a skeletal hotel that
was abandoned when the would-be owner went...

Pope Frances
Pope Frances
It is a warm sunny day in Lisbon, the pope sits atop of
Mercedes Jeep, he looks like an easy target for assassins
Men in black suits and open jackets hurry alongside the jeep
except for one lifeguard, who wears a gray suit his black suit
is still at the cleaners
The pope is heading for the big park, along the route
There are thousands of young people, waving flags from many nations
Russian flag, Ukrainian banner, it is all here, except perhaps
the Israeli flag, I assume there are no catholic Jews.
Where the road narrows...

Betrothed
Betrothed, bombarded.
Abode, a conflict.
If so, incarnate.
Connoted, carnage.
To sew, this garden.
Atrophic, heartland.
In foes, our farmland.
Too cold, for cropping.
Condoning, comets.
It's stolen, stardom.
Denoted, bottom.
Below, imparted.
Control the con men?
Their soul's but wanton.
Hypnosis, hardened.
Remote, unguarded.
Commotion, causes.
Implosion, gothic.
Behold, embalming.
Disclosure, Godless.
Encroaching, offset. ...
