AN S.O.B.

 

Mother nature and Father time conceived

What they produced you won’t believe!

Yes! They had to admit it was a S.O.B,

And this picture I’ll paint for you to see!

All the mountains cried out with joy –

It was not a girl, but a handsome boy!

The winds danced along the streams . . .

The clouds at night had pretty dreams –

All the stars came out at night . . .

And the sun by day gave them light!

Mother nature and Father time conceived

A beautiful task that most can’t achieve –

This fulfilled a lifetime of longing . . .

A son that had a (Sense of Belonging!)

TO QAVAH

 

By a single thread we hang,

But when we come together,

We create an unbreakable bond!

When we “wait” upon the Lord

We intertwine our lives with His!

Actively waiting, we devote an

Eager expectation that requires

Faith and endurance of oneself!

“Those who “Qavah” the Lord shall

Renew their strength; they shall

Mount up with wings like eagles!”

Qavah for the lord; be strong, and

Let your heart take courage; yes,

Qavah for the Lord always!

Don’t sit passively – stretch out

Your soul; lean on the promises of

God, and trust in His deliverance!

A PIERCING THOUGHT

 

I held a rose in my hand

The velvet touch had no demand –

A throne pierced my skin

Like a love that knows no end!

Tears begin to fill my eyes

And I know my soul needs to cry!

Regrets seen to sneak in

Like petals blowing in the wind-

Answers I need to find . . .

But yesterday was lost in time!

O such beauty my eyes behold,

And tomorrow – I don’t know!

But today I held a perfect rose

Lacking words I can’t compose!

I USED TO KNOW

 

In the shadows of dawn . . .

At the keyboard all alone –

Thoughts racing in my mind

I have nothing but time!

O the words I try to form –

It seems my spirit is torn . . .

Thoughts from long ago

Of a love I used to know!

It’s funny the paths we take

My mind is barely awake –

Thinking of a dream I had,

And remembering I was sad!

In the shadows of dawn . . .

You won’t leave me alone!

A PRIDEFUL HEART

 

In the shadows

Where darkness will hide

Or in a proud heart

Where arrogance can reside!

Mere temperament you say,

It’s just being a man!

(But pride goeth before the fall)

Meekness we must understand!

“I’ll get mine!”

Whatever the cost –

It’s the ego we must feed

Money makes us the boss!

Darkness hides in a soul,

And it’s God they never know!

DO A GOOD DEED

Every day we can do a good deed,

          Try, it’s not that hard!

When helping others we succeed,

          Try, it’s not that hard!

Then the Lord will draw so near,

And then one’s heart will feel glad,

Helping others feels so dear!

          Try, it’s not that hard!

Storms of life affects us all –

          None of us are immune!

Upon the Lord we all will call,

          None of us are immune!

Today we have the world by the tale,

And tomorrow one’s heart is sad,

In a flash things can turn to hell!

          I know, I have been there!

Storms of life will call us out –

          I know, I have been there!

Do a good deed – let others shout!

NEVER LET GO

 

In the stillness – I hold you near,

And it’s your touch that is so dear!

Never let go – hold me tight!

Lost in the shadows of night –

In the silence our hearts pound

It’s your passion I have found!

In your eyes there is a light

That guides my soul at night –

In your bed is the perfect place

That reflects love on your face!

O your kisses are so sweet,

And I love it when our toes meet!

Never let go – hold me tight!

It’s only here, my world is right!

WHISPERS OF YOUR SOUL

 

Hear the whispers of your soul

Of these words that you were told:

“There will come a time to die,

And only then you will know why!”

So, it matters not what you own

But God will never leave us alone!

Everyone has an appointed time

(So, let that sink into your mind!)

It all started the day we were born,

But I guess we were never warned!

Young with the world by the tale –

Roses we never stopped to smell!

Hear the whispers of your soul:

“A time will come – this we know!”

WRONG BECOMES RIGHT

 

Have you ever felt like a caged Canary?

People act like Moe, Curry, and Larry!

I know sometimes I can even be a little contrary,

But enduring stupidity – the brain will tarry!

 

Look around! Look at this world . . .

It makes your brain want to twirl!

Some weirdo named his girl Earl –

And I saw a guy at Walmart dressed like a girl!

 

Wrong becomes right, and right becomes wrong,

But remember, it all starts at home!

We should never leave our kids alone –

Absence of direction will set its own tone!

 

Have you ever felt like a caged Canary?

Our world today leaves the heart weary!

PLEASE UNDERSTAND

 

As I sit and hold your hand

I hope you understand –

I will never make a demand

I’m just a broken man!

 

All these feelings I hold . . .

You just simply need to know –

It’s this broken heart I show

I hope I’m not being too bold?

 

More than these words can say,

And all the games I’ve played –

And the times I’ve been afraid,

But darling this is a new day!

 

As I sit and hold your hand

Please forgive this broken man!

THE MOON WAS GOLD

 

 

Thoughts in my mind are stuck!

(A beautiful girl – an old pick-up truck)

The night was young – the moon was gold!

Mountaintops covered from an April snow –

The windows were tinted with fog,

As we heard the sounds from a Bullfrog!

Soft music playing on the radio . . .

Our blood was rushing from head to toe!

Was it love or lust – how could I know?

Lost in time as moments unfold . . .

Some will call it luck or was it simply fate,

But passion is always better than hate!

Thoughts in my mind are stuck!

Of memories left in an old pick-up truck!

HOORAY

 

In the throes of time

All the things that come to mind –

Reasoning hasn’t come yet

Lost emotions stuck on “regret!”

Life can be a one-way street

Where ignorance and wisdom meet!

In truth, yesterday is gone . . .

Forget about right or wrong!

(Today is a new day)

I’m still alive – hooray!

There is no point in looking back –

Open the fridge – have a snack!

I must live for today,

And tomorrow won’t get in my way!

AMBIGUOUS

 

You say you love me,

But it’s your actions I see!

I understand things are complex,

But here I sit – what is next?

Words and actions have double meanings,

And how can I tell which way you’re leaning!

Love is just a word that you say . . .

Then you turn and look the other way!

It’s hard to figure out your intentions

Your words are vague – like directions!

You say you love me,

And I just need to let it be!

“I’ll address this sometime later,

See you later alligator.”

EVEN THE WIND

 

None will be silent,

None will be silent!

Even the wind, oh wind,

Hidden in the shadows,

Beneath the gray skies,

As the ground trembles

And no one cares.

 

But the truth lies in all of us,

Our names are unknown,

Not one, not one

On our lips, words spoken,

But who understands?

 

And issues are still unsolved,

But truth still outweighs a lie!

 

(no one cares anymore

And we will live and die alone.)

 

Be still, oh soul!

Cry, heart! Cry heart!

Tomorrow will come!

God will win!

God will win!

In the silence of time!
