Regret of Men and Women
I regret when men
and women cheat
because they ruin it
for all the good men
and women out there
looking to get to
know each other
It's hard to do this
because we all fear
rejection or if they
will cheat on us
Remember one thing
Always treat the
Woman with:
Kindness and Respect
and women cheat
because they ruin it
for all the good men
and women out there
looking to get to
know each other
It's hard to do this
because we all fear
rejection or if they
will cheat on us
Remember one thing
Always treat the
Woman with:
Kindness and Respect

BILLY - THE REVOLUTIONIST!
I feel like a revolutionist today, folks!
Armed & ready to fight prejudice -
With my words!
I had a dose of it last night.
Was told I was not welcome at a certain wine bar,
Situated here, near where I live.
Was told to watch my back -
Just because I'm English!
I only went along for the Karaoke...
Unfortunately,
The guy never saw the person behind the mask -
Never gave him a chance!
After all, I could've been the English guy,
Who fought to save his daughter's life,
The surgeon; instead, fighting...

inscrutable silence
deafens
imagined slights
and invisible papercuts
firing test shots across the bow
She sits frozen, waiting.
The latchkey kid
with a sandwich
and a voice on cassette
It was supposed to make her feel
cherished

Nutshell
of who in a nutshell,
either is or not
with a clang of a lock,
or born to squander
devoid of face
without expression,
you are in a nutshell,
so to speak
but faith in God
I think for sure,
frees one from a tinker,
who's life is in a nutshell
either is or not
with a clang of a lock,
or born to squander
devoid of face
without expression,
you are in a nutshell,
so to speak
but faith in God
I think for sure,
frees one from a tinker,
who's life is in a nutshell

Blissful Illiteracy
I had twelve years old, and dreams so young
Dreamed To be a future poet as life was so long
I had twenty two, and dreams even younger
Yearned for poems written when getting older
I had thirty three, dreams started to land
They started to slow down, when ascend
Then forty four, dreams stopped to soar
Shoulder weighed down by the loads i bore
Now past fifty, dreams are only winged words
Lazing like those birds hovering above the herds
And then, i envy those care free sleepy...

Now She Tells Me
Now she tells me
for the however manyeth time that
yes, she still loves me but
in a different way.
I kept hearing that but
translated it as
yes, she still loves me but
there are issues which can
and probably will be
worked out.
Silly boy.
The latest issue being
the guy twenty-some years younger
who just got out of jail ...

The Broken Heart
The Broken Heart
Where do broken hearts go?
When they don't have a song to sing!
Or have a prayer?
When your heart is bare?
Where do broken hearts go?
When your heart has been?
As though being ripped out of your chest?
Then stomped on?
Then your body goes numb?
As you no longer care to live?
Where do broken hearts go?
They shun themselves far away from the rest of the world!
When they're all alone and can't stand to go on?
To be alone with themselves!
To think...think... think...think.
Thinking...

Remains
Don't come to me with promises of eternal love,
not even with looks that promise hell.
I already know this road, this path
where every step is a thorn.
Don't enchant me with soft words
nor promises of new dances.
I already know that at the end of the song,
all that remains is loneliness.
Don't talk to me about burning passion
and not from a heart that lies.
I've seen this movie, I already know the ending,
where love is just a gale.
Don't promise me the brightness of the stars
and don't fill me with beautiful...
not even with looks that promise hell.

Eyes (incapable of lies)
if eyes
are incapable
of telling lies
why wont
you look
deep into mine
is it
the ugly
veneer
that hurts
your
eyes
through my eyes
you wont
see my soul
but what is
deep within
my heart
but this
honesty
you still fear
because
of past
lies
still you wont
look in my
eyes
for it seems
some truths
are too much
are incapable
of telling lies
why wont
you look
deep into mine
is it
the ugly
veneer
that hurts
your
eyes
through my eyes
you wont
see my soul
but what is
deep within
my heart
but this
honesty
you still fear
because
of past
lies
still you wont
look in my
eyes
for it seems
some truths
are too much
