Good
morning, Darling!
Are
you awake?
Can
you hear the Ducks on the lake?
There
is a lot of chatter!
I
wonder what’s the matter?
I
guess a storm is about to brew –
Some
come and let me hold you!
Good
morning, Darling!
This
is the best part of the day
Before
the world gets in the way!
There
is no surprise
To
see love in your eyes!
Moments
like this are the best –
Where
a man’s heart can rest!
Good
morning, Darling!

When
the birds sing – will you complain?
When
did a heart feel its first pain?
When
did the roses drink sweet rain?
When
do you have a need to blame?
When did you look into my eyes?
When did you remember how to despise?
When was your virginity compromised?
When did your heart first realize?
When
did love first knock on your door?
When
did your feet slide on a wooden floor?
When
did your heart say it needed more?
When
did you first see an Eagle first soar?
When will you let me into your mind?
When darling, are you going to be
mine?

On
my face you can see I care,
And
these emotions I need to share!
As
I sat beneath an old oak tree,
And
life’s thoughts won’t let me be!
I
watched as the clouds slowly pass,
As
the wind blew in the tall grass –
I
don’t know what this day will bring,
But
I know things are not the same!
Yesterday
I got this sudden glance,
And
then the flowers begin to dance!
Remembering
when I was your man –
And
on life’s principles I must stand!
On
my face you can see I care,
Then
I looked and you weren’t there!

A
noise came loud and strong
It
was like a heavy medal song!
And on and on it went
Loud and louder
Pounding in my ears,
And then came the tears!
The
room shook
As
if I had no luck
Pounding
in my ears,
And
then
The
quietness came
As
my mind tried to endure
The
madness
That
makes oneself
Gravel
At
what we do to please
Without
little though
Without
caring
Of
the outcome.
Here
In
the shadows
I
look around
I
pour whiskey down,
Is it all about me?
Self-indulgent –
Is what others see!
And
I try to think
What
is my purpose?
Answers in a glass –
A self-analysed stance!
But
tomorrow is out of sight
It’s
not my fault!
I
have a perfect excuse
“Was
it love
Or
was it the rejection?”
At
this point
It
all seems the same
I
must endure the pain!
Then
I clear my eyes
I
look through the smoke
The
ice cracks
My
heart pounds
I
pour whiskey down,
And
I endure the pain,
And
I know:
“It’s
myself I blame!

I
looked up,
And
there you were . . .
With
all the years that have passed us by,
As
I remember we never said goodbye!
We
both just took a different path –
And
then I heard that insatiable laugh!
You
were sitting at a table with some guy,
And
I felt my heart begin to sigh . . .
Then
you turned, and looked my way,
And
the passion in your eyes wanted to say:
“I’ve
never forgotten the love we once had,
And
I’m so sorry that I made you mad!”
Then
you got up and walked away . . .
With
my heart screaming, “Please Say!”

All
I need is your initial
Then
the lady says, “It’s official!”
So,
I just signed my life away,
Yes,
sometimes that’s the only way!
Now
I’m in debt a 100K,
The
bank owes me until my dying day!
Money,
the root of all evil –
It’s
worse than being Evel Knievel!
Reality,
every month it comes around
No
relief is anywhere to be found!
It’
the great American way –
Well
at least that’s what they say!
“The
rich rule over the poor, and
The
borrower is servant to the lender.”

Why
did this old tree
Suddenly
started talking to me
You
think I just sway in the wind,
But
you have no idea where I’ve been!
I
have seen the centuries go by,
And
even the wind doesn’t know why!
“So,
I guess this makes you wise,
But
it’s your confidence I despise!”
Humans
just run around all day
With
very little substance to say –
I
started from a mere oak seed,
And
with patience I had to succeed!
So,
if you are wise and listen to a tree
Then
you could be as smart as me!
Thomas
Theophilus© July 8, 2026
On
my face I can feel the wind
It’s
letting me know where I’ve been –
My
eyes are fixed on what lies before me
A
reality that only I can see . . .
Then
a leaf starts blowing in the wind,
And
I stop and think of an old friend –
A
lifetime spent chasing endless dreams
Living
in a world filled with schemes,
Human
nature I try to understand
While
dealing with the foolishness of man!
So,
I just sit here and laugh out loud –
Swindled
out of money – aren’t you proud?
“A
fool and his money will soon part
Because
of the evil that’s in his heart!”

If
I could massage my brain
Then
maybe I’d ease this pain
Or
is it just an emotional thing
Like
sitting in drenching rain!
But
all in all, there is still hope –
It’s
like fishing without a boat
Or
when someone gets your goat
Now
hang that on your rope!
Fourth
of July is a special day
Hotdogs
and Beer, O yay, O yay!
While
we waste our time away,
But
for this nation we can pray!
If
I could massage my brain
Then
maybe I’d not go insane!

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!)

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!

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!
Thomas Theophilus© June 27, 2026
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!
Thomas

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!
Thomas Theophilus© June 23, 2026
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!
Thomas
Theophilus© June 19, 2026
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!

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!”

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!
Thomas

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!

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!
