Friday Night

The roaring band marches upon the damp field
The concession stand with goods to yield
The leaders of the marching bands
The sneaking of kisses and holding hands
The touchdowns and the cheering fans
The pep squad hugs up in the stands
The long lost loves and the best of friends

Ramblin'

Make your long story short
quit ramblin’ on and on
to you, you’ve suffered
far more than any other one!

But we’ve all suffered
just the same, if not worse
And we all carry pain
of our family’s lifelong curse!

You Smiled

You smiled at me today
My heart grew warm
You told me you love me
My heart grew an inch
You gave me a big hug
My heart skipped a beat
You cried in my arms
My heart cried with you
You asked me for guidance
My heart will see you through
You are my son, my life, my love
I'll never let you go!

To My Angel

I hoped and prayed for a child
Through disappointment, nothing happened
No matter how hard I tried
I wanted someone to teach, to love, and to hold
To share my insights with
And to smile upon, even, as I grow old
I wanted to have someone to care for
To teach to be independent
To have a life of their own
The greatest day of my life
Was when you were born

I will give you my love and support
No matter what you do
When I look into your eyes
My heart is all a glow
I want you to take this with you
No matter where you will go
You are my angel, my baby, and my love

My heart is always with you
My pride will grow in you
I will never leave you
My spirit will always guide you
You are my angel now, tomorrow, and forever
I love you Sunshine!

Dreaming of the Rio Grande


Bureaucracy

The bureaucracy has a controlling hand
I look over my shoulder again and again
Are they watching all that I do?
Right now, they could be watching both me and you

They tell us how to raise our children
They tell us how to keep our homes
They tell us what we can and cannot do
Then they lie to both me and you

Our minds are filled with there propaganda from birth
There is no other place like this on earth
We are led to believe that they are only here to help
When all they want to do his help themselves

Their hands are forever in my cookie jar
Because of that, I cannot afford a new car
They let the guilty walk free in the streets
While the innocent has to live with that defeat

Before we go fix the rest of the world
We should turn around and fix our own boys and girls

Miracles

Don’t go through life looking for miracles. Instead, look at life as if everyday is a miracle. ~ Pammy

Death

Death rides upon satan’s back,
Like a phantom on a wild horse

True Love


I Should Be

I should be working on my homework…
but I have not the interest…
I should be working on being Mom…
but I have not consciousness…
I should be working on being Wife…
but I have not the desire…
I should be working on something…
but I have not the will…
I should be working on being me…
but I have not the indication of who that may be….

Marriage

In the eyes of God,
I walk alongside you,
With your hand in mine,
Our love forever true

9/11

Tragedy struck across this land
Two years ago today
For families of loves lost
Down on my knees I pray
Together now, hand-in-hand,
We look up to the sky
Filled now with strength and with ride,
We hold our heads up high
Now our daughters and our sons
Fight in a foreign land
They fight for freedom and for us,
Together they too stand
Our country once split far apart
Forever beats with one big heart

Dreams

Happiness seems so far away
The miles that keep us apart
Memories fill up in my head
All the good times that we've shared
The joy I found; lost forever
Life is so empty without you here
All my dreams are of you
It is when I hold you once more
I share with you love and devotion
Our bodies together being explored
Let me sleep forever
Let the dream be my life
Let us walk together forever
Let me be known as your wife

See Not

See not what you think you see,
In my eyes.
Feel not the pain that deep,
In my heart lies.

Teardrops Are Falling

At night, lyin' in my bed
Teardrops are falling like rain
I think of you at first
Then, I think of all the pain

I want you here
We'll laugh, talk and share
I need your touch
To see if you really do care

Hold me tight
I need you now and forever
I have learned
Learned to never say never

Je amour te, garcon
Do you understand it at all?
You left me alone
I warn you, I did not fall

I'm back on my feet
Standing on my very own
You've hurt others
I know I'm not alone

Teardrops are falling like rain
I need you here to care
It can be forever, understand
We'd make a perfect pair

Now you're back
I don't know what to do
All I want to say
Is I really do love you

Now there is a rainbow
Holding us together
As the everlasting promise
Can we really be forever?

Dark One


Restless Nights

Restless nights are
Because you are not there
To hold me in your arms
But you love, I am aware

I awake to see your eyes
Gazing upon me
Then our eyes meet
And love I can see

We are together
But nights are spent apart
And through the nights
I hold you forever in my heart

Gone Home

Your mother called you home
She wanted to hold you tight
She wanted you in her arms
And to sleep there through the night

Your mother wanted to look again
She wanted to gaze upon your face
She wanted you to feel once more
Her warm and loving embrace

You closed your eyes and went to her
For that my heart’s eternally torn
You entered those golden gates
You will hurt no more

I called you at your home today
I wanted to hear your voice
I know that I must let you go
I know I have no choice

I could wish for one more week
To look into your warm eyes
I could wish for one more day
Can you hear my forlorn cries?

I could ask for one more hour
To walk with you hand in hand
But I know you are with me
And beside me you’ll always stand

Your mother called for you to stay
And now you are by her side
Where you’ll wait ‘til my day comes
And then you will be my guide

Approaching 30

I'm at that age, When wisdom comes to me
Of all wrong doings, I do now clearly see
Grayish curls, Fall upon my brow
Faint small lines, Are noticed now
I don't fit in, With the older folks
To the younger, I'm just another joke
I'll find a place, Within this world
I will show you all, I am not a girl
A woman, I have long since been
This has been known, to all my friends
A lady still, I have yet to be
That comes with time, But soon you'll see
I will learn, Who I shall become
Inside my heart, Will stay forever young.

Closed

Turning every blind corner
With eyes tightly closed
Where I must go now
No one but me knows
Grabbing my life tightly
With both hands
Sleeping in peace
Strapping no ends

A Rant

this place is so ugly
it is a vast wasteland
poverty stricken and barren
run by the ignorance of the elite
that is the financially elite
ignorance is bred through the social upper crust
most intelligence is found at the bottom
in the lower classes
but greed and gluttony keep the intelligent deep in the recesses of the bowels of the state
we spend our entire lives trying to climb out for a breath of air
by the time we get a chance to breathe that sweet air of intellectual and financial freedom, we meet our end
we are aged and decrepit
we are unable to enjoy our sweet freedom

MORAL:
so if you live in poverty and you are WORKING hard to pull yourself out, don't forget to stop every once and a while to smell the roses
don't forget to love
don't forget to be loved
don't forget to find love
don't forget to enjoy life
that is what you will be remembered for
you will not be remembered for how much you had
you will be remembered for how many lives YOU touched

If Tears Were Blood

Lying alone in a forbidden place
I am so sad and can’t show my face
What’d I do to deserve all this pain
I keep asking myself again and again
The fight we had has torn me apart
I know I’ll soon survive my broken heart
I noticed how wrong I must have been
You knew from the start that you would win
I looked outside as it rained
If tears were blood my shirt would be stained

Forgotten

Spoken words
Not heard
Chilling screams
Ignored
Haunting dreams
Forgotten

Teddy Too


Trista Blue

"Looks like I'm here now! What did I have on my mind? It's too late to answer that now. Back home, I was really popular, always wanting attention that didn't belong to me. My admired beauty inspired many young girls. I still remember that day when the wreath of silver and brilliant stars was placed on my head. The crowd yelled happily, and I was so excited. The days, weeks, and months went on; and so did the excitement and attention. It slowed down and drew me down. I wasn't happy anymore. I wanted to be noticed. Jim told me things aren't that bad. I should have let him talk me out of it. He loved me and this is how I paid him back. I thought I could get attention if they found me in time. I turned on the most depressing music and lay in bed as the razor of torment drained my life slowly and painfully. I watched them put me here. Did I cry? Oh, yes! I cried as they sang my sweet song of death. Poor Jim, it wasn't his fault. He didn't find me in time. Every once and a while he'll stop and bring me a ruby red rose. I now realize I was wrong and wish I were still there. It's too late now, too late! It's even too late to say I'm sorry and I never told him I loved him. Here, we're all the same, and I'm not getting all the attention. Not even up there."

No One Knows Me

No one knows me…
They want to know me…
They can’t get near me…
They will not find me…
They do not see me…
And what they do see…
Is not the real me…

'Til The End

I will love you
'Til the end of time
Thoughts of you always
Invade my busy mind

Restless nights are
Because you are not there
To hold me in your arms
But you love; I am aware

I awake to see your eyes
Gazing upon me
Then our eyes meet
And love I can see

We are together
But nights we spend apart
And through the nights
I hold you forever in my heart
