God's honest truth
As she lays in the hospital bed dying,
i have great sadness that my wife of 35 years is at death's door
There was so much more that we could have done together
My only regret is that I never hit her
That's the one thing I would do if I had to do it all over again
i have great sadness that my wife of 35 years is at death's door
There was so much more that we could have done together
My only regret is that I never hit her
That's the one thing I would do if I had to do it all over again

Someday (You're Gonna Pay)
Someday You're gonna pay
For all of your evil ways
Someday, someway
You're gonna regret that
You threw our love away
I would never say
I told you so
When you went astray
You were making a mistake
Playing a foolish game
Even though you hurt me so
I forgive you in my heart
Wish you all the best
It was just so sad
Watching the way you changed
For all of your evil ways
Someday, someway
You're gonna regret that
You threw our love away
I would never say
I told you so
When you went astray
You were making a mistake
Playing a foolish game
Even though you hurt me so
I forgive you in my heart
Wish you all the best
It was just so sad
Watching the way you changed

Hungry Time
Time sits in the golden dusk of the field,
gnawing away the days.
Hungrily it consumes our lives,
the shaded moments that didn't count
or failures to strive.
Extracting and devouring even the thickest honey of happiness from the soul's hive.
Break away memories from the edge of the day, crumbs left behind make our bellies ache.
For the non- memories, things we wish we had done.
Thinking there was a million more sun's.
The echoes of all that was left unsaid, a lead burden, if only a mind could be read.
I must not waste a moment of time, ...
gnawing away the days.
Hungrily it consumes our lives,
the shaded moments that didn't count
or failures to strive.
Extracting and devouring even the thickest honey of happiness from the soul's hive.
Break away memories from the edge of the day, crumbs left behind make our bellies ache.
For the non- memories, things we wish we had done.
Thinking there was a million more sun's.
The echoes of all that was left unsaid, a lead burden, if only a mind could be read.
I must not waste a moment of time, ...

WHAT HAPPENED?
We used to defy
all taboos, cross
all barriers, dare
to take a risk,
say yes against
the odds, taste the
forbidden, indulge
in decadence, and
pick ourselves up after
we were down for the count;
loose our shirt and have
to hitchhike home.
YES! Vegas is what happened
to us and we didn't let
it stay there but we brought
empty pockets with us.
BUT
we're on our way back to
the bright lights and winning
and losing....WOW! Life
gets more exciting every day,
win, lose, or draw...

Guilt
The hour struck delirous
pain spoke of grief
and I ache in its midnight torrent
Harboring the guilt of the day
I labored under the impression I would be free
honesty was silent
and truth glare
It was my hurt to bear
weeping in my need
I bleed
pain spoke of grief
and I ache in its midnight torrent
Harboring the guilt of the day
I labored under the impression I would be free
honesty was silent
and truth glare
It was my hurt to bear
weeping in my need
I bleed

Beggar’s Prayer
i was wailing for you
in my car that day
that promised fate
all day and night long
driving around lost
bawling along to a
hymn of broken hearts
by emiliana torrini
desire echoed infinity
my beggar’s prayer
was a singing bowl
overflowing with emotion
grasping at hope
i never knew love
could hurt so damn much
aching for you but
you were out of reach
so close yet far, i was
alone in the dark
driving around lost
wearing weight on my soul
in my car that day
that promised fate
all day and night long
driving around lost
bawling along to a
hymn of broken hearts
by emiliana torrini
desire echoed infinity
my beggar’s prayer
was a singing bowl
overflowing with emotion
grasping at hope
i never knew love
could hurt so damn much
aching for you but
you were out of reach
so close yet far, i was
alone in the dark
driving around lost
wearing weight on my soul

Redemption and a Cup of Tea - Apologizing Publicly
Yeah
I made a mistake
Bad one too
I'm sorry
I offended a member
Something I wrote as a comment
She then blocked me
I deserve the block
I'm hoping I can redeem myself
I made a mistake

DAWN IS RISING
Dawn is rising,
emphasising
night is over
for the lover
of the darkness,
when the starkness
of the body
in nudity
has to once more
take the cover
of the day clothes
free spirit loathes.

young and fearless
i was once
young
and fearless,
i did
things
to my
satisfaction,
too careless
to be
beat down,
but now
so many
years
have passed,
my youth
long gone,
and i
take
my time,
i'm
a little
more cautious
these days.

Forgiveness
shadows of past mistakes haunts
the heart that nags the soul
for forgiveness and healing
a beacon of hope bestowed
teary eyes beg for forgiveness
showing the depth of hurt and pain
and yet the accusing eyes glare
forgiveness still deep among disdain
.
there's a pretty space somewhere
where healing begins again
like pretty flowers everywhere
sparkling hope of fragrance
release the chains that bind
the heart and soul shackled in hatred
grudges borne like suckling babies
embraced on a burdened bosom ...
the heart that nags the soul
for forgiveness and healing
a beacon of hope bestowed
teary eyes beg for forgiveness
showing the depth of hurt and pain
and yet the accusing eyes glare
forgiveness still deep among disdain
.
there's a pretty space somewhere
where healing begins again
like pretty flowers everywhere
sparkling hope of fragrance
release the chains that bind
the heart and soul shackled in hatred
grudges borne like suckling babies
embraced on a burdened bosom ...

Corporate Shenanigans
It’s an upsetting thing looking back it now
I thought I was just doing my job
But those of us who worked in subprime lending
We were part of that predatory mob
I had access to so many files
But I was just a paper pusher in those days
Get it from one reviewer and then out to another
I never really questioned every bonus or raise
It was a like a freight train on speed
Eventually the steam for the company ran out
And there I was, jobless for a while
Unsure of how all of that came about
Later on as the entire world went...
