Life is a many things Sometimes life is a dark tunnel, But every tunnel has a light at the end I will be your lantern to guide the way Cling to me and I will keep you from the darkness Life is a giant battle. I will be your shield and spear Your spear to pierce through the horrible people Who want to harm you, Your shield to protect you From the battles you cannot win your self life is many things my dear But I am here, For you to use, to cherish, and love. Life is many things my dear. But you are not alone. I am here.
The carcass of my subliminal words echo through smoke filled corridors... it is an intricate dance where the subjective yearning of broken hearts and confused minds labor. This is the food of the poet, deep emotion transcribed through longing, like the kiss of a long lost lover... feeling her... almost touching her... but she is gone. So you wake up to sorrow and tend the flames of the candle of your heart, feeling her... but she is a ghost... you pray tomorrow she will come... the inspiration of a lovers heart, yearning to be touched. Dancing back and forth in this mired dungeon, from the window to the wall. Wondering if there are any roses in your garden that you could pluck for her before the seasons wilt young virulent life. The life of a heart bleeding for seasons long passed when the dreams of champagne lips was the promise of tomorrow's wedding... When you find that you married the broken shards of a schizophrenic mind. That your wife has danced away and all you can do is to curse the wind that whispers of her a thousand miles away. But maybe tomorrow, when you tend the flames again... the wind carries memories of new beginnings... maybe tomorrow, holding hands with a lover's shy smile... maybe tomorrow, she will let you begin again. We are in love with the seasons and dark winters eventually fade to spring.
Silent currents softly swirl Around tree scented salty tears Flowing forth from freshened forest Awash from Summer's seasoned years Sunlight filtered through high branches Causes mist to rise and glow Gleaming in the golden fern Drifting ghostly disappearing Winsome weather wafted waves Waking woods on Wednesday morning Pauses kissed and shed of woe Friendly forest fantasizes As the life form warmly rises Faerie elves and dwarfing dragons Drift away in morning dew Clarity of dawn is breaking In the awesome reawakening Another day is here anew To spend in joy with you
Time to let this go The things you do The things I know The things that hurt me too These years So many tears I cannot go on This battle is never won For there shouldn't be a war, between two..................... This irretrievable flaw For beauty inside, takes time to find Sometimes not at all I cried Trying to reach your mind My heart to fall This flaw The heart you tore The things you show The things you know The things you haven't given I have forgiven These years So many tears
(W)- A real woman knows that the wages of sin is death so she is not concerned about the wages of a real man, because money comes and goes like day and night; but true love comes just every blue moon. A real woman isn't loud and doesn't have to be the center of attention. Money is a gold-diggers virtue, while patience is a real woman's virtue. A real woman is always wary of the image she displays to the world because she knows her children are watching her every move. A real woman's wisdom comes from the teachings of her elders and the experiences and hardships life brings. A real woman is the wings that help a broken man learn to fly again. When you become the object of a real woman's affection, winning is the only option. (O)- A real woman's main obligation is to better herself, before she attempts to become someone's better half. A real woman is very obliged with all that God has blessed her with. When a man takes a real woman for granted, she makes up her mind to put him away into oblivion. A real woman is use to jumping hurdles because overcoming obstacles in life keeps her on the right track. A real woman doesn't spend her time worrying if failure is around the corner, because she occupies her freedom chasing her dreams in her most comfortable running shoes. A real woman is a hopeless romantic ready to be wooed with an odyssey of love with a real man by her side. (M)- A real woman's presence is magnanimous and captures attention because of the poised and elegant stature of her classy nature. A real woman is like the magnet of ecstasy. All women don't attend college or hold prestigious employment, but for many being the Valedictorian of mothers everywhere is the major of their lives. A real woman respects the art of marriage and believes in monogamy. A real woman's life is the motion picture of sophistication. The mythology of a woman began within a man's ribs and ends in the beat of his heart. (A)- A real woman sticks to her man like glue and never abandons his side. A real woman has the ability to do anything a man can. A real woman has the power to fill the abyss of a man's pains with joy. A real woman prays with her other half because faith is the key of remaining on one accord. A real woman will amaze you with the way she adapts to changes in her ambiance. A real woman is the architect of her own destiny. (N) A real woman needs a man to understand and love her for everything she is and for everything she is not because a good support system is a leading factor in longevity within relationships. A real woman is the nexus between love and happiness. When you converse with a real woman you will realize that she is nimble with her every response. No man can ignore the nymph of a real woman, because it is in her D.N.A to be notable.

There's an old English song called All Jolly Fellows That Follow The PLow. The tune works fine as is for the chorus and with the verses if the tune for the 3rd and 4th lines is repeated for th 5th and 6th. Well, it works for me but my singing has never been much hindered by tunes. It was after that big game one long gone September, the score line was one I'd like not to remember, in a small Richmond pub not too far from the ground, we all settled down with our sorrows to drown. We were well on the way, as were most of the crowd, when in came a young pedlar a shouting out loud. "Sausages, sold by the yard or the pound! Get a fresh sausage, the best to be found! It'll make your wife happy of that there's no doubt, with her very own snag she won't need to eat out." Cried the barmaid, "How many do I get to a yard?" "Madam, three if they're soft or two if they're hard" She felt for the soft ones cos she wanted a lot, but the more that she squeezed em the harder they got. She found not a sausage was e'en a bit soft so she told the young pedlar to go get far offed "Sausages, sold by the yard or the pound! Get a fresh sausage, the best to be found! It'll make your wife happy of that there's no doubt, with her very own snag she won't need to eat out." Said the pedlar, "Why madam no need to be rude. And in fact what you told me was verging on crude But you don't look so bad for a foul mouthed old sow so step on outside, if you like, with me now. If you play your cards right I might squeeze your left breast. If I find I like that I might squeeze all the rest." "Sausages, sold by the yard or the pound! Get a fresh sausage, the best to be found! It'll make your wife happy of that there's no doubt, with her very own snag she won't need to eat out." Said the barmaid to pedlar, "You are a right jerk, I'm a barmaid and never do mission'ry work. But if you're near to the shops and you buy me some eggs, I might squeeze that there pimple you've got 'tween your legs." Then she said something that made the whole crowd guffaw, "And will you stop off at home and please check the back door?" "Sausages, sold by the yard or the pound! Get a fresh sausage, the best to be found! It'll make your wife happy of that there's no doubt, with her very own snag she won't need to eat out." For Cyndi MacMillan's pub song contest
The absence of touch attaches itself To the narrow whisper of his heart beat. Footprints echo in loving embrace Of his fathers mummified conscience There are memories that rise like the sun On days when the leaves aren't kept There are days when the rain won't come All he wants to do is look outside And see him starring back.
Like a Spring Blossom Ever changing Sits at my side, loyal and cherished 'Til Summer then Autumn and Winter again. Year followed by year To spin our Gold and you, a Rose forever blooms and I, the branch to support your sweet bouquet.
She Was For Him. She knew no one else desired no one else required no one else She was for him. Her interest never wandered cared not who or whom was also astounded by her beauty never cared to do more than look her best - just for him whomsoever caught a glimpse by chance would find her eyes gazing up at him. She was oblivious to better looking on lookers, that stared and drooled; Her body was for him only for him. He knew this and he gave her the world. Because he was also made just for her.
Not Homeless, Im ok babe currently, When my wife run off with wife stealin cousin Wayne, she thought about it once again, and to me a letter wrote , gave me her house, she gets my vote, My sweet Christine, sublime....
She said it, yesterday, That she is in love With a Wonderful Wondrous Resourceful Reliable Happy HOT Man Ironically, it did not breed in me A feeling of: Resentment nor Ravenous-ness nor Jealousy nor Jeopardy nor Betrayal nor Bitterness. Because I was the other man A transformed soldier of my wife
Propositioned on Poetry soup When I logged on the Poetry soup Last night, I was amazed A girl there asked me to be hers Oh, I was more than phased Because my wife, she reads these things And she was not amused I tried to make her understand But to listen, she refused Now I'm a man of seventy one My lustful days are gone I'm growing old and gracefully I don't want that carry on Trying to ruin my harmony I'm here to write my songs And this be all I want to do This woman got me wrong. But anyhow, my wife she wrote To the guys who run this show She told me in an angry way That these guys, they should know They wrote her back with no delay Said the comment, it was spam I'm glad they blocked this silly cow Cause she's not worth a damn. 5 December 2013 @ 1305hrs
Once in a land full of life At least that's what I was told so There lived a happy man and his wife Who smiled and watched the birds go One day as they were watching the birds The old man had flipped his hat For he had said only a few words And it was that he could fly like that The wife then began to frown For the man had simply gone mad So she got ready to leave the town Which made the cheery guy sad He swore to her that he would fly So the wife had grabbed her things She opened the door and said bye And when she left, the man sprouted wings A few years had come and gone The wife grew old and watched time pass One day when sitting, she heard a song That sounded from her fifth floor window glass 'my love,' it said, 'I now have wings. my love,' it went on, 'I wish you would see me fly. my dear, come look at me, drop your things. I wait by your window, perched in the sky.' The wife got up and looked out the pane She froze at the sight she had saw Her husband flying, or was she insane? He smiled at her dropped jaw. 'My love, come with me. Fly in the sky.' 'I can't,' she shook her head 'oh come on. climb out. I promise you won't die.' So she climbed out, and was never seen again. (this is fictional)
The morning sun crests the auburn sky, The green grass glistens with dew; The lover sits and ponders why, should give the heart for True; And when the sun looms high, The morning dew be gone; The lover bids the heart to sigh, should two become as one; The sun to set in yonder west, as dusk the moon shall rise; The lover seeks to find the best, untainted heart, to tell no lies; The stars have scattered in the sky, The moon has settled in; The Lover waits and begins to cry, for fear they will not win; And soon the night be done, and the morning crests again; The Lover sees that special one, And happiness sets in; The sun will set and rise, and the tides will ebb and flow; And the Lovers be together wise, Until there breath doeth go.
The long awaited day now comes, With cries along with bells and drums, Her belly throbbing, spinning-chair, For birth, for labor they prepare. There lots of people shouting names And nurses playing trolley games, The doctor came as water broke 'To labor room', the sisters spoke. The cries were roaring piercing ears, The friends were filling, hopes and fears, They rise their hands and ask to god, To ease her pain while crying odd. The labor room was quite something, And doctors wearing apron string, The beds were crowded lights were dim, But doctor peeps and makes a grim. The nurse then speaks 'the time ain't right'. But patient's pain was total fright, Again the doctor comes and peep, To see the cervix while she weep. The legs were wide the lights were bright, The cervix ripe and pain was right, She holds the edge while pushing hard, And doctor waiting, taking guard. The hair is seen and doctors smile, The time is wrote on nurses file, The head is out, the shoulder's out, The boy is out, the sisters shout. With cheer-some tears, she sees her son, The faces bright, the pain was done, The heart is blown, the sheets are thrown, The drinks are served, and heavens shown. The grandpa born, and grandma's dove, The husband takes the boy with love, The joyful kiss on tiny feet. While sweets are served in blissful heat. The car arrives to take her back The kins then walk as wolfs in pack, But cries are heard in labor room, With smiling faces, lilies bloom. ©Anees Rahman
Love's undeniable journey explores all life,touches an amazing earth only you and I can share between time. All ups n' downs come with Fortune n' price, but together We will shatter a mountain of Rock. A place we can go hide closely cuddled cave, against the Closure of your misled arms, Wrapped tightly around a spin Of Saturn's that ring me. As Pluto's fire, breaks guard closer to the sun.....Where GOD GAVE ME YOU] And an UNchained melody to sing.
Oh, Let's get married in a white chapel sip coffee, listen to blues and read morning's headlines. Let's get married in white chapel Live in a brick house, build a picket fence and watch the good neighbors stroll by Cause he's something to look at Can pick him out from bustling restaurant just by his gait Cause he's something to look at got a wide mouth, gaping grin always fashionably late. When he's nervous, his posture is fleeting. it's unfitting, because he's got the world together. When he's nervous, his words string together like magnets across a refrigerator door. But then- I'll say something 'bout my world views and you'll suddenly deliver the quickest line and I'm laughing finally i'm light Oh, Let's get married in a white chapel sip coffee, listen to blues and read morning's headlines. Let's get married in white chapel Live in a brick house, build a picket fence and watch the good, good neighbors stroll by

In Youth-less Age Though gentle, hopeful drifts we brood, but age our wont be kind enough, in threescores is when life imbued, will partial be the earthly stuff; but you'll still be my fancy then, when Suns shall be the Shallowest, and dry as those days --my fingers, pen! Diluting the persistent best; then shall I my own mind bereave, when servile times would near a close, but will your eyes, mine still deceive, that greater truth than life propose. The understanding of our earth, up till we stay, --the way shall give, entwine when with a lovers mirth, we not our age but more shall live; there I shall be a part of you, though life may still not worthy be, but time the hearts as one does sew and breeds the soul's eternity. Soon ladies fine with auburn head, in youth's subservience shall grow, with shadows white and lips blood red, to whom the haste --the world will owe; but, by the words that reason frowns, and those that cost if cared for less; within the gardens, across all towns, just you my dame this heart possess, as your my gardens cherished fruit, could time nor age do you wrong, your grace can shift a hand from mute, such do my rhymes to you belong, and the words, claims that come to me, be their center, and my days renew, until the time this soul is free, and life us quells, an end pursue; the end of the sojourn we made, shall love then still be intense more, when breaths and sight move to a fade, like youth, your age --I shall adore.

Sugar and Honey ©2013 Who could have known those Men in Black would be the groomsmen to serve as the royal escort for a date where time stood still. Minutes turn to hours turn to days the blaze of passion brighter than orange and yellow sun rays. Never again alone the search that was so cold now inflamed with life—passion roaming nomadically through radio waves with 37 wishes of "I love you". Wishes that tell of a spell never to be broken cause 37 is prime impossible to divide. From Lookout Point the view is endless. Hues of purple and red shimmer as clouds float by carefree smiling cause they know a secret we've yet to spy with our naked eye. The island sun winking as it sets daring us to never forget this very moment. This very moment of 2-wheel love with trails of cookies and cream a dream come true with me and you and you and me together as we grow stronger in self and each another. Romancing moon perched high can't wait to swoon cocoon enticing day dreams to transform into night dreams 2-stepping to the grove of Sam Bostic…"tell me your zodiac sign?" It don't matter love cause I'm yours and you're mine. Together we wander the beach of life with no real destination ahead but to hold your hand counting grains of sand knowing each one is a new chance to thank God for aligning you in just the right place at just the right time for me to see you not with my eyes but with my heart. Nothing could tear us apart not even Black Ops screaming and fighting for main stage cause backstage forehead kisses are riches to please and tease all in one moment that will last an eternity.Sugar and honey intertwined a destiny so divine.Do we dare take this chance? A five letter word blurred with an infinite number of possibilities but only one solution with today as the finale for you and me.This chance we take resonates as the heavens open and whisper with the softest of voices for all to hear... Shai and Alvin "your joy is complete…you are like-minded… with one love in spirit…you are of one mind." Be kind to one another and keep today's love in your heart forever. Saphyre 7/7/2013
Don't ever steal her man She's the perfect little lady The greatest wife of all Most people who would know her Will say 'she's wonderful' She be a loving mother A cook of some renown But if you try to take her man Then she'll soon put you down. She's filled with generosity She'd give you her last dime She'll never hurt another She'd not commit a crime She has a lovely temperament She likes to have her fun But if you try to steal her man Then hey, you'd better run. She'll always sacrifice herself And leave herself to last Her heart is filled with so much love Her magnitude is vast But if you hurt her children Or try to steal her guy Then you had better flee from her Or you might even die. 24 April 2014 @ 0900hrs.
Oh, somewhere there is singing Somewhere there is grace Somewhere there is laughter A smile on every face But I am here to tell you About a place so cold and drab It makes you shiver violently And dulls the joy you have This place is not in the Heavens It is not upon the land It's not over the oceans And it's hard to understand As long as I walk the earth It is always set apart There's nothing more mysterious Than what's in a woman's heart You think that you are pleasing You think you do what's right But you never had a chance You end up in a fight So I tell all you poor men Don't even pretend to try Just live your life and stumble on And hope that soon you'll die
Near an Arkansas town lives a man, Truman Brown in the steep Ozark hills we call home. Lack of yield from the earth takes its toll on his psyche and he dreams of the freedom to roam. His kids work by his side with their mom, a sweet soul. None suspect devil traits from his bent. Though his anger inside swells each day like the tide, he displays not a clue, seems content. But his heart harbors wrath as he plows rocky land, and parlays to destroy spirit's peace. In the dark of his mind reason leaves, hate evolves for the one he needs most, seeks release. He quick-steps close behind his wife's chair and pretends as he bends for a kiss from her lips. He withdraws wicked blade, slits her throat ear to ear and her blood streams below, scatters drips. In her panic and fear, she jumps up, tries to flee but soon wanes, buckles down on the lawn. Children scream, race about, overwhelmed by the threat and retreat behind doors, deadbolts drawn. But her stout eldest son runs outside to her form, cradles her in his arms as she dies. Siblings hide from the blade daddy holds at his side; he stands mute and stares out through dead eyes. Dalton turns upside down in the blink of an eye with the horror of murder so vile, and the news people race to report sad details as police chase him down by the mile. On his mad day in court, all the stores close their doors o'er the deed of this man, Truman Brown, while the judge has him bound and declares him insane but the tale still goes 'round Dalton town.
Here's to John and Carla Here's the story of John Sherman He was born there, in New Jersey In the year of forty two A wild, wild man was he Con man, thief and activist He was chased by the FBI He was on their top ten list One day they caught this guy. They placed him, when they caught him In a high security jail They considered him to be A very dangerous male He escaped their prison, twice did he When they caught up with him They kept him jailed for eighteen years And made his life so grim. One day the Buddhists came to visit And then this man was hooked His manner changed he grew real calm As at himself he looked He delved down to his deepest depths And experienced a thing That gave him peace, and harmony And made his whole world sing. Just like everything in life His peace it did not last His mind went kind of crazy then And his misery was vast And so he turned to Ramana A saint from India As he asked the question 'Am I here'? Something within did stir. His world became a heaven then He'd learned the truth at last He conquered all his fear of life And the sweetness it was vast When they let him out of Jail He married his sweet wife And he and Carla ran a site To help folk through their strife. They run a site called 'Just one look' Where they teach many folk How to rid their lives of fear And though he's always broke He and his wife do carry on Trying to help folk, in their plight As they too look within their depths And find themselves that light They have worked with many folk And lot do claim success As they ask the question 'Am I here' And many can attest That they now live all free of fear And as his work goes on So many will agree with them When all their fears are gone. I speak from my own story When I tell this thing to you If you do suffer misery Then here's the thing to do Get in touch with John, and Carla And let them take you to A space where fear does not exist It works I'm telling you. 13 February 2014 @ 0955hrs.

Before we knew the one we know…. By: Steve Hudson Once we were attracted to each other Before we even knew each other, Passion flowed through our bodies Ready to ignite at the faintest glow, Now we know each other Time and circumstance has lulled our affections Passion is reduced to a re-action that is never an action The gravity of our reality takes form on aged bodies The glow that once lightened up the fires in our room Now frightens the idea of romance between the frigid bride and groom Wouldn't lovemaking be breathtaking if only we could see? The one we knew, before we know, making that our reality.
COAT OF ARMS Last night I couldn't sleep,for thinking only you... As I wrapped in warm embrace,your spirit tinted blue To oust away thine pangs,in hopes to see thee smile... I'll yoke ye 'pon my shoulders,to carry through this mile To trade your tears of sorrow,and see them shed in joy... I'd jest for thine amusement,and be your favorite toy For thine malady been expelled,I'd invoke it banished 'way... Taking it 'pon mine self,so you've strength to seize th' day Though I'm not an king,nor prince 'pon ivory steed... Th' possessions I've procured here,are thine if felt th' need I'll sweep thee off thy feet,if not familiar with th' waltz... To breathe ye 'cross th' ballroom,as an feather floating 'loft Mark mine words I state here,and hold me to their true... I'll prove I 'steem thee precious,as unfeigned I surely do Just promise me one thing,that next time when your down... You'll wear these words as armor,'til I mend thy broken crown ~AZAZA~'09
My love, come marry me, and be My wife forever, and we will Cherish and treasure each others Company and compassion eternally. And we will sit and watch as other Couples try to Follow and strive to Have a Loving marriage and Relationship Like ours. And I will make life as unsurpassed As I can, I will bring you more love And happiness then you could ever Conjure in your peaceful mind. I will give the finest vows with the Most trustworthy words on our wedding Day, my love for you princess is true and It will shine though on this very special day. I need a women with your prestige and Beauty and it will always be my duty To be there for you in every stumble and Tumble you may come across. My heart would be complete if I had the Chance to be your husband, and you would Never have to worry about any thing again Because I would always be there to lend a hand. These words on this paper are my heart and souls True feelings. With every word you read I truly pray That you will be my wife and true love forever someday.
On this date,we both celebrate! when our paths came together! I met my mate over broth filled plate! then felt daft!when the soup trickled over! we both broke out in laughter! as you tidied up my chin! Will you be my pal forever? Master and mistress in everything?
God simply made man and woman to be together for the rest of their lives... it's a blessing this heedless world has not fully known; and it's so rare nowdays to see two people in love, and promise each other to be faithful! Is that all so impossible? Real men don't cheat on their women, real men give their whole hearts full of gold to those who really love them; I've come to know a good man who did just that for his woman, and he still loves her although she's old! Unfaithful men, would you rather have an unhappy home or feel a joy as sublime as the sunrise in glory? Untrustworthy men, give up what you crave; you can be the strongest man on earth, and still can't stop the tears gathered inside! Real men don't cheat on their women, real men adore and cherish them 'till they're gone; to be beside them and share a lovely dream, to console and encourage them when they're weak!
The wife of my heart is that whom i love, and do wht i need. She makes me happy though am angry, and whenever i look at her i begin to smile. She keeps my love and my kids safe though am away for a period of time. The wife of my heart is that whom i trust and who loves me in time of joy and need.
Brittle bones crackle through the hall, as I slowly trudge to an empty bed. Outside my window dies a barren Fall, and what survives but my Winter dread? Slipping into the bitter-chilled covers? shrinking beneath 'til I'm cloaked blind.? Despising the demons who steal our lovers? like feckless butchers of the conscious mind.?? Death stares me in my jealous eyes, withholds from me his seductive knife. Does he not hear my bitter cries? Why plague me with abandoned life??
My wife my life,my life my wife I remember saying sometimes in strife.I look above knowing I've lost my true love,gave way to sin and greed for those were the things that I did feed.Nearly lost my life being a fool,reflecting back I was so cruel to my wife and kids I'd become one of his tools,lying cheating became such a disgrace I could"nt even look at my face.How did this happen I ask myself as I take my mask off the shelf and face the world with a smile while I'm lonesome all the while.Oblivious to my pain is everyone I know as i continue to put on a show
If I had known how much I would Have missed her when she left, I would have thought of deaths embrace As robbery or theft. If I had known how much I would Have missed her when she died, I would have prayed dear Jesus please Take me, but I just cried. WHY DID SHE HAVE TO LEAVE ME! WHY DID SHE HAVE TO GO! WHY DID SHE HAVE TO DIE MY LORD! WHY I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW! She died so very suddenly We did not have much time, Though from the very day we met I knew she would be mine. I loved her yes with all my heart I prayed for her in life, I prayed each day she would be blessed I prayed she'd be my wife. So lovely,tender,pure and free I treasured all her love She stored up for only me This lady, was my dove. Now I am left to wonder God. Now I am left to pine. Why did she die first Lord Now when will come my time. For fifty years in marriage Our hearts did intertwine. She now has left to meet you God. So very little time.
Henry the Eighth, A tempestuous Tudor Prince, Six marriages, All doomed to toss in the sea of fate. The fair Spanish princess was first, Wedded to the King of England, She died alone and rejected, Shut out of the warmth of his heart. The temptress cometh, A dark English maiden, Seductively beautiful, Her hold cannot last, The tide swelled against her, No male heir for England, A silver sword stole her life. Beautiful, far and modest, Another English maid, Destined to be the third Queen of England, Succeeded where others couldn't A son was born, A mother and Queen fell, Her shadow lingers in the palace still. Fourth in line a German princess, A Flander's Mare the King pronounced, Displeasing to his eye, A marriage crumbles, She lives to see another day. A mischievous sprite, Captures the eye of a King, A voracious flirt, She lost her head, A fateful lesson learned and, Paid for with her life. Last in line, A sweet and gentle woman, She nursed him to the end. His last breath was drawn, A life snuffed out. She lives to see, His children inherit A turbulent throne. First the precious Prince Edward, Then Bloody Mary, Last in line- the Virgin Queen- Elizabeth.
Sleep Tight Shuffle now accordingly off to bed you go, you asked so long ago to change the cards I dealt you; but God responded with stagger in the void…this was all foretold, This was all a scheming pattern new; a dream was All you had…like concrete hard untrue; crack it with the Sky, hold it in your trembling sweaty hands, this timing now is due, Brother, that is what I call you, all equal parts Desire and sweat and sinew, for all is young but old this way: You stepped from a car, a child – the stars danced In disarray, yet the space set so finely between those facets Held every dream in place; such beauty darts a flush red scheme tonight across your face; what bounty held between the brightness in your eyes? Shuffle now, no bother for the mourning; Ruthless is the Devil, but clueless are his keepers here among us; they are clever present, they are all in a heap Beneath your bed – Shhhh! Sleep tight oh Brother, sleep tight.
You know I love you so much, so much so that it aches, Yet I love you so, I just give what it takes, Sometimes I do wild things, just to play rebel to the wife, Yet deep down I know, it is you, who lights up my life. Just To stay by me, I know you gave given up more than I can ever give, I cannot forget that for a day, a moment, not a single second that I live, You are my world, my dreams, my strength, my hopes, my gain, You are my peace, my song, my antidote to pain, You are the music, in my every breath the sweet sound, You are the fundamental force that makes my little world go round, This I cannot finish writing, yet I am forced to send, For this is the story of my love for you, and it will Never end… Love you , more.. Each day.. Each second.. Yesterday.. Today.. Now.. Tomorrow.. Forever..
Alone in this world. In this big wild place. Dreams of peace and love are what I seem to always to chase. Treading up this climb at a nice, steady pace. Searching high and low. Just to see your face. One-by-one, seeking my perfect girl. Failed attempt once again. Deeply craving that perfect pearl. A team of two, undivided in half. Uplifting feelings, she always wants to hear you laugh. A true girl likes helping out any way she can. You love her too and she loves her man. This girl of the future, she is kind and nice. Not a moocher. Made of sweets and spice. Once this person is in my life, I will try to ask her to be my wife. With her, life becomes more amusing. Along that, the game becomes much less confusing. Then on one clear, cool morning night, you walked beside me. That town seems to gives you an awful fright. Us just talking and walking, long passed eleven. There beside me, she was a gift from haven. So nice and so kind. This one was very hard to find. A sweet young girl with a brilliant mind. Even past her beauty, in every way she shined. At last! Now, I feel complete. The search is finally over. No longer must I compete. Now Hun, it will all be good. Defend and help each other. The way true lovers should. Some day, like I said before. "We both should get married. By our spot on shore." The power of our love and our commitment can never be buried. Many more blessings of ours are to be carried. I'm glad, I'm here to be. Finally dear, you found me. Standing alone in the night frost air, You saw me, as I looked quite lost there. Sad and confused. But knew, mostly hurt and used. Hart was tired from the last girl's end. But this one's different. She has a kind warm hart. She's the perfect friend. My life. It's gotten way better. Like warm and cozy, in a big fluffy sweater. I'm blessed that you chose me. In this big wild world Hun, it's only you I see.
She's Lost--I'm the one left to blame Forsaken by my potent manipulating game I've killed the one, My starcrossed heart Desires ...But not By My hands I Try To Follow her ghost But the fog and mist are too strong My eyes are rendered useless "You're Never going to Find Josette" The netherworld Spirits sang I Won't lose Heart I Will Win this Fight For My Sacred Josette's Right to Life This is what happens when The Devil's Adovocate Falls for Jesus's Greatest Bride This is what happens When The life of the disease Loves the cure it desperately hates Drives you mad But Wasn't I already? Josette, I'm begging you To Drive the Faerie out of Me

A cold sullen night it was the day where the lights would come out and play A dream of dreams in which we couldn't wait The coronation of a celestial queen The brightness's everlasting fate This day was the time where we all could see unless the truth is too blinding Oh sweet bearer of light who's name brings all ignorant fright.

Three loads of clothes Some towels to fold A sink full of dishes A mind full of wishes A bathroom to sanitize A job I most despise Floors to mop When does it stop? And when I am through There is cooking to do Cleaning once more Then off to the store Just when I think, my job is done I forget, I have errands to run When does it end? Then I remember That tomorrow I get to do it all over again.

Don't let yourself be scared, be confident. Don't hold your soul back, just let it take flight. Standing alone in an empty room admiring art from pictures of me and you. One glance back at the life you knew before, One last tear that wasn't meant to fall, One last embrace to know you were real, One last breath to make sure you were okay; One glance back. Sheltered in your arms, a curtain of love binds me. Hunger in your kiss, to know that you need me. But I'm standing alone in a crowded room filled with people admiring pictures of me and you. One glance back at the life you knew before, One last tear that wasn't meant to fall, One last embrace to know you were safe, One last breath to make sure you were awake; One glance back. You left me on my own worried sick about you, holding onto all that was left of you. The memory of you walking away, with my silent prayer hoping you would be okay. . . One glance back. . . One last tear. . . One last embrace. . . One last breath. . . One glance back at the life you had before, One last tear that was meant to fall, One last embrace to hold me through the night, One last breath just to see the mornin' light. One last glance. One last glance. . . One last tear. . . One last embrace that I hold dear. . . One last breath that saves a life. . . One last glance good-bye. . . Good-bye. . . good-bye.
I arise in love with love it grows its fruit out of my wings love makes my heart sing, romance. love makes me selfless in a state of agape. love keeps me thinking in isolation, hoping in dejection. love makes me express on bed of roses entangled an intertwind in bliss woven passions that rejects lust, yet invites love. the necter is sweet as pleasures trancend and ravish my trinity oh love is faithfull, willing and definately able. oh definately able! Love existed before Cain killed Abel It will bring joy to it's possessors Captivating it's keepers Uplifter of weepers Bringing pleasure to those who express it, who grow it live it make it.
Convince that you are the one for me. Persuaded that I am the one you need. Deceived that you desire my love. Refused to see the truth so I wait. Believing that your heart is not filled with hate. I cry for my Heart that I am not confused. Praying to God that I am not just being used. Blinded by the, Yes I will marry you! Consumed by the, Will you marry me? Walking down the aisle to meet my groom, didn't realize it was the day of my doom! Oh! What can I say. Blinded on My wedding Day.
There he goes again, takin' off on that stud I know he'll come back all covered in mud. It kills me, seein' him leave I'm afraid he'll get hurt even though I know he's not naïve. He tells me he thinks about me while sittin' 'round the fire eatin' beans So then why does he still head out there by all means? Herdin' those cattle and movin' them from town to town Brings home the bacon, but always seems to get me down. Seein' my Cowboy leave breaks my heart But when he arrives home I'm 'specially happy we are no longer apart. I hear his boots tiredly walkin' up to the door And just that alone makes me giddy galore. I know it sounds absolutely silly But holdin' those rough chapped hands sure makes me happy. When he smiles at me his nose crinkles And I see that the long tough days have given him wrinkles. It's crazy how much he has changed But I know he is still the amazin' man I engaged.
Drawn together, seemingly predestined, freewill nothing but illusion, a love so infinitely rare - a random wave of emotion to be surfed to its destination? No, a power sublime, surpassing that force binding the universe. Were there ever more, or more intense emotions rushing at once, to weigh and buoy a heart? Your touch a great clarifier of thought and feeling. Restraint overcome, replaced by the capacity to love that stems from being loved. Life flashing before me, its realization of misshapen thought, misspent years changing everything; now understanding the true worth, this offer of life unencumbered. Every day a gift, every moment to savor, a license to enjoy life on unfamiliar turf, nothing more than fearless- when that felt at night, when we are all most alone, a fear so great to be called mortal terror, made powerless by your touch. Studying your face feature by feature, could I ever forget your eyes, the luster of your hair, the shape of your mouth, the sheen on your lips. This sum of love and beauty encompassing a dream; our lives before us. Thoughts held in mind reproduced in their kind, love growing, ever expanding; your inherent goodness found me in me, showing what I might be taught the value of family, and roots. In simplest terms my life began that day though I'd lived decades without. To see those eyelids flutter, to watch and pray through the night that I could fulfill my role as husband, to be your lifelong companion, friend, advocate, lover, protector- that you would understand cherish- and be a wife satisfied. How long since we last kissed, but a moment ago, or an eternity? Oh, the sense of ineffable rest, joy and completeness when in your arms; a lover won, a wife to behold. The commonplace, the everyday, behind its familiar facade being most likely to hold surprise, the memories to treasure; rejecting an existence that substitutes flash for beauty, sensation for love- as long as there is life there is hope that beauty, that love lost can be rediscovered, what was reviled can be redeemed.
Each time is like the first time, Thoughts of passion will never leave my mind, Romantic evenings after dark, Your gift of joy make me rock, I am thinking of your warmth, So kind and so clear, A climatic sensation, Each time we are near, I hope it is the same for you, Each time we are alone, I know I've found that Rib God took, I am ready to start a home, Each time you hurt, It makes me cry, Each time we part, I cannot say goodbye, Each time you laugh, You put a smile on my face, Each time we kiss, You make my heart race, Then we make love again and again, You are my lover, And my very best friend, I am your man and you are my rib, For God formed you from me, To demonstrate how to give, When we are together, I know you are mine, Each time is special and one of a kind, Each time...
I pray that today never ends You are the heartbeat That gives life to my being The sight that brings to life All that I have ever dreamt of You are my life And I earnestly desire that today never ends
love's divine, with italian fine wine, we dine, link hands and recline, the ambiance makes this so fine. I made her an offer, and the angel didnt decline, ill give you whats mine,love's unlimited divine attention, not to mention, devotion, tenderness, and affection. Your a cut above the rest, the finest selection. ill be your knight in a shining tux, and give you protection never negletion, or worse, seperation. This isnt a smooth operation, a game or dictation or donation,or a false allegation, you cant make that accusation. I tell you the truth, you can make a quotation. I want you, until the end of life's destination. We own the type of love that deserves an ovation. Its far beyond my wildest estimation. Since i met you, my life went through a reformation, you are my rehabilitation. i dream you, taste you and feel you in my meditation, with you always in my contemplation. when you need me, my dove, there will be no procrastination. Our love is like helium, its a total elevation, a gravity defying emancipation, a liberartion that makes my heart stop in suspenstion, thats how deeply i felt your connection. moments stored in my memory for recollection your my love's divine and my jubilation.
Yo, I say yo, I be rockin' like an untold personality, Say, it ain't hard to see, Like Santa and Biggie, I be straight giggly, Yo, My wife is pregnant, And we both just get bigga and bigga, Who can figua, Yo I be in the pulpit, saving souls through my stomach, Cause they be coming forward, just to see and maybe rub it, My wife loves it, Shakin, and bakin, and makin' all kinds of noises, Hanging over pants like master mc's in the ghetto, I mean straight saggin' with stretch marks to match, I mean my cellulite, Be sendin' buttons into flight, Cause I Got Rolls!!
She is a blank canvas I am the artist Love is the perfect portrait that we make. I search for a moment that lasts forever. Something to express what i feel for her. My unchained emotion, that goes on forever unchained, unlimtied and untamed. You cant cage this animal nor tame this lion in me called love, nor arrest it's cousin, passion or its uncle, emotions. I adorn her earth with kisses ravish the garden called her trinity, each sound turns the grass greener. earth shattering pulsations on this bed love founded on a bed of fresh roses She is a blank canvas I am the artist Love is the perfect portrait that we make. I search for a moment that lasts forever.... That lasts forever. amen
Come with me and let us reason together Let's listen to each other as a woman and a man We are two joined together to love one another But there's just one thing we need to understand Even though I receive you just as you are And even though you receive me just as I am We must learn to change together to make things better Without demanding our own way to be in command Be long-suffering and kind It's going to take some time for change And suffering wrong some times We may endure some grief and pain But then all in due time We'll see like hearts and like-minds will be gained So be long-suffering and kind Cause its going to take some time for change (Chorus) Its not that I want you to be just like me it's not that you desire me to be just like you Yet we must change to grow and we must grow as one No longer two on our own, we've got real love to prove In considering each other before ourselves We will sacrifice more often than what we plan In becoming what the other needs we'll be fulfilled For every grief is erased because we've learned and understand That if I concentrate on you and if you concentrate on me We won't push ourselves forward, be self-seeking or rude For I'm concerned with your pleasure And you're concerned with pleasing me Because you really care for me and I really love you. (Chorus)
...I can't explain the secure feeling when you hold me and sleep I can promise that I love you ~ I can promise I won't creep I can't explain why you take over my heart You had me in the beginning ~ at the very start I can't show you that I love you, as much as I do I can promise you one thing though, what I speak is true I can't explain the amazement ~ when you catch me in a stare I can't explain to you how much it means just to know you care I don't know why I know know my babies will be yours I can't thank you enough, to fix my heart when it was torn I can't explain to you how much you mean Sometimes I take a step back and wonder, "am I in a dream?" To hold you close to me at night please know I want you to teach me to love you even more ~ please show I want to spend the rest of my life with you Please believe me when I say this, for it is 100% true I miss you even when your down a hall I hear random whistles and I look for your call For my father to love you, as he says he does It means so, so, much to me ~ it always was I can't explain the impact you have on my big heart Your everlasting love pierced through my world like a dart The love poison you poisoned me with will show But for now all I can say is that I love you ~ just so you know
Across the ocean and clear blue sky For reason, what purpose I kept wondering why? Dear Lord thou knowest is this the right choice Comforted and strengthed by the still small voice I saw her that day my heart did pound God's will in the Midwest at last I had found The maker more perfect than a human scout His ways and purpose past finding out Dear love in sweet tones I call out to thee In trembling I wonder will she go with me? Together to dwell in sweet harmony Held fast by God's hands in holy matrimony
Wake up with a dream on your eyes left with the hearts that bid you Goodbye Shadow Dreamer-- Poisoned Lover Venom seeps through the Way The Way you held on to Me There's a Thorn in your Heart I left it there so the dreams and your pain shall unfold Inside you and all of your Lithium Lovers You're my lover, My Dear The Greatest Enemy I had to Contend pretending with "I Love You" but I know you Hate me till Hell's End Is it in Vain? You Sleep with the hate How can you dodge the fate? You let the Dagger dance on your Tongue You are my beloved Enemy Marie
I have realized now more than ever what love is. Love is all about knowing you, It could be about sharing a thought with you, Or hearing the sound of your voice I saw love that day When you took my hands and looked into my eyes, I heard love When you whispered to my ears how you felt about me I have felt love just once, That time you held me close to yourself With the sound of our hearts complementing one another, And our limbs went numb Thank you for teaching me what love is; Love's all about spending life with you
Why the warmth in your skin Brightens my world from dim I do not know why I do not know why for only you I'd die I can't explain the kisses from your lips I definitely can identify your familiar grasp around my hips I can't explain why you melt my heart I can't explain to you why it hurts when we're apart I can explain your sight and your seducing baby blue eyes I can't explain why you make me feel safe when you tower over me in size I can truly tell you why you qualify for my love But I can't explain to you why you were sent just for me from above I can feel your arms tight around me I can't explain why for you I trust to help me see I can't explain the butterflies fluttering deep inside And I can't explain why I am the one who can break your pride I can explain the feeling when you touch me I can't explain why only for you I choose to see I can't explain the deep palpitations inside every beat I can't explain why just for you, I chose to reserve a seat I can't explain the short breaths when I see your face But I can pinpoint exactly your lips and the sweet taste I can't explain why you want to be a dad But I also can't explain the random reasons why I get mad I can definitely explain to you the bleeding in my soul But I can't explain to you why my life has taken a toll I can't explain in words why I love you so much All I can say is, "I love you," and such and such I can't explain with all the money in the world why I love you so But here's a bold, "I LOVE YOU," on paper ~ so you know I can't explain to you how somehow I get lost in your eyes But I also can't explain why God randomly granted me this prize I can tell you that I love you ~ I can tell you that I care I can also tell you I need you ~ and I promise I'll be there...
Twenty five years ago today, A young man woke on his wedding day. As he lay there he thought of the good times to come, Then a knock on his door, cup of tea from his mum. Well son she said, the day has arrived, Very soon you shall have your wife by your side. He thought for a while at the words she just said, Your wife by your side, went round in his head. A smile then appeared across his face, You're right mum he said, I really can't wait. When at the church the nerves they took hold, The best man gave a reassuring word. The organ music changed its tune; the vicar gave a nod, A couple that were so in love made vows in front of god. That was twenty five years ago to this very day, The young man that was me, The beautiful vision that stood by my side, Wearing white old borrowed and blue. Is the beautiful vision that is by my side still, The one and only you! For Marie with all my love, Mark
You were like lightning That hit me while driving You spilled all over my senses To say I was electrified Is an understatement Because now i sit and write And Silently wonder about My time with you Alone Where do I go from here After the occurance Of you is gone Do I pull up my baggy pants and Pretend ... Fake out my own mind That nothing occured Thereby waiting for sleep To make soft the blow So that The shape and the memory Of your face Becomes some distorted Warp in the memory of my dreams When I said too much And you gave a chuckle As if to say good-bye And we hit the reset button For an resplendant reprise
My life began the day we met The world, it looked brand new. Colors brighter, music sweeter And all because of you. You took a life of sadness And you made it oh so sweet But now you're gone and yet....... I love you more with each passing day Though God saw fit to take you away. When I think of our love, it still seems brand new Forever and ever, I'll always love you. I still feel you close by my side. The pain's so deep, it cuts like a knife When you went away, my heart broke into little pieces. But I'll put those pieces back together Because I know some day, we'll be together again. But until then............... I'll love you more with each passing day Though God saw fit to take you away. When I think of our love, it still seems brand new Forever and ever, I'll always love you. Oh, when I think of our love It still seems brand new Forever and ever, I'll always love you.
Majesty Who is the image of God? Is it man? Is it me? Perhaps, that is the case. That this race is to be ruled by the masculine, phallic paradigm, Perhaps the rhyme and reason of the universe is the work of one gender, But I know of a woman, Who challenges such notions, To become, To be, the gentle fabric of my being, That was her role for a time, But am I to define her? I think not, For she is a raging fire of possibility, Her abilities out sway all of my greatest potential, And as she discovers her power, I marvel, For only she could convince me, That above me, my God cannot be defined by the androcentric bias which often time maligns my rhymes, That above me sits a woman as well as a man, Who beckons to my fate and calls me to her land, For Sophia saw in me, what this world would not notice, And told me I could make it, when all would count me lost, Machel I tell you, she saved me from hell, And yet that is not her destiny, She is Isis rising, She is Michael descended in female form, To be loyal to the end, That was her mantra, And she stood by and endured me, Ascerbic tongue and all, As I fall as I rise, she believes I'll reach the sky, But even that is not her definition, She is a phrase too sacred to utter, She is a word, like Maudib, too powerful to be spoken in fancy, I tell you to be worthy of her, To aspire to believe that I was worthy of her, Has been my greatest challenge and joy, To become would she knew I could be, Has been torment and elation, It has been a journey of introspection and transformation, Which almost killed me, And still I struggle, To submit to her ascension, To put aside my selfish glory, That her story may unfold, And the world may see the wonder of a brilliance untold, To be a husband to my Sophia, And a father to the blood stained Diamonds she bears, This is the greatest journey, This is the ultimate victory, And though I fail time and time again, Because she knows I'll make it, Because she believes that I can become what she sees within me, I will rise to the majesty of her countenance, And know manhood.
Freddy the Fly, Now back from the moon, Noticed on his calendar, That it was now June... The wedding month, thought our dear Freddy, But a fly has a short life, So then, before I'm dead, I gotta' find a fly-wife!! So Freddy flew all abouts the world Searching for, the perfect fly-girl Finally he was rewarded, When Nicole Fly he did meet, He got so excited, He stepped on her fly-feet But the attraction seemed mutual, Like a fly to horse manure, But when they did converse, They both were very sure, Freddy proposed his fly matrimonial hope, Nicole said yes, let's go elope.... But a wise Freddy the fly, Did look her in the eye, He knew she'd someday regret, Such a simple way to beget, So he told her of his plan, For the biggest fly-wedding in all the land, The solemn day came real quick, A Sunday wedding, they did pick And as it did unfold, This story I was told, He'd waited for her hand to hold, To place on her fly-hand the ring gold, Dressed in his little fly-tux, Fly guests tried to hold their yucks, And Nicole, in her fly gown, Flew about, then up, then down, To land on the fly-alter, Not for a fly minute did she falter, Said, "Yes, Fly Priest, I do!!... And if's all the same to you..... Would you get off my fly wedding cake, It took so long for the fly-baker to make" And Freddy's anxious to leave at once, On a fly honeymoon, for sure, But, alas, I almost forgot- No "moon" in the honeymoon- no more! For Freddy had eatten the romantic moon, It tasted like sh_t, and it did ruin, The moonlight for kissing was there no more, So to fly-sleep they went, and soon began to fly-snore..... Now a Freddy Fly's snore is an event to behold, At least as a fly-story, we've been told Nicole , she couldn't sleep As Freddy fly-snored deep, She flew off and let the fly groom, Wake up next fly-day to fly-gloom!
The alarm goes off, I open my eyes to face the day I roll back over to sleep it away The wife begins to preach to me No work, unemployed, I am free I go to the unemployment office and talk to the man He looks at my state and says he will do what he can The man asks me which of the three jobs I choose I don't want a job, I guess I've got those Lazy Hound Dog Blues I go outside, sit at the bench and wait for the bus I've got nowhere to be, I ain't in no rush It's getting to be late in the afternoon Getting hungry and will be home soon My wife left me a note saying were through At the moment I don't care, it's the curse of the lazy hound dog blues I tell myself tomorrow I will look for a job Gotta clean myself up, no one will hire a slob The alarm goes off I hit the snooze Not today, I am nagged by those lazy hound dog blues My wife calls, says she wants to work things out I try to explain, she begins to shout She won't listen what's the use I tell there is a cure for the flu But how do you shake the lazy hound dog blues
The pain is back again, that no pills or bottle can cure... I tried to set things straight, the TRUTH will come out sure. They must understand, I did NOT leave, I was forced from my bed... Against my will, with a gun to my head. I was just ONE man against many, who wanted what I had... My kids must understand, I am STILL their DAD ! I am a man who tried to hold my ground... but there were four little kids around. I was told to leave or no one would find my body again. Hurt and kicked from town to town, I didn't have my friends. They sold and stole it all, after they tore my family down... I do not like being homeless and sleeping on the ground ! Fore no job can be found, when your name is trodden down... so I do what I can and float around. Disabled and riches GONE, it's not fair... It was all MINE, kids, homes and cars, the judge don't care ! I had worked and paid for it all... Divorce is a bunch of blood suckers taking it all ! The innocent take the horrible fall... Dam you satan and the woman who STOLE it all ! But GOD is strong and this is not over yet... They sealed their doom, you bet. She does not let me see my kids... so GOD won't let her live. Eternity is a very long time... to be standing in burning slime !!!
We don't mesh Since we've been one flesh We're never on good terms for long As a matter of fact One misheard word or act Makes us conclude everything's wrong And we don't click Like the stones and sticks That we've gathered from far and near They've all been used Now that we're battered and bruised Where do we go from here...? Why do we settle down To settle for less or save face By not waiting for true happiness? Why do we put on a show And act funny with each other, Yet neither of us is laughing yet? And why do we get confident Seeing our strength and beauty, Finally, from the words of a stranger? And why do we stay together While pushing ourselves apart? Without mutual love we're in danger. (Excerpts from the song Where Do We Go From Here?)
There was a little boy In a great big house With a great big yard On a tree lined street. The little boy was happy He had food, clothes, toys, and treats Yeah, you could say his life was pretty sweet. But as he got older He began to wonder 'When will I find true love'? But little did he know That a little biddy girl In a little biddy house With a little biddy yard On a street with no trees Yearned for her own true love. And then one day The little biddy girl Saw the little boy from the great big house. They married and formed a love so sweet That they bought a little biddy house With a great big yard On a mountain full of trees.
Standing on the shores of life Waves of dreams crashing down over me Engulfing all that I am… A salty taste fills my mouth I gasp for air, Suddenly my lungs fill with mixed emotions My breath escapes me As did the joy I once felt Cold and wet I stand alone, Watching and waiting for you I stand alone, Suddenly my pain is at ease With the sound of your voice Thank you for saving me…
Did you ever want to let go and just be a memory? Or just so jaded from the world that you wish you couldn't see? Anger and hatred ruled over me easily Until you came along and saved me. I was so conflicted about what was right and wrong Was so sick and tired of being swept away in the darkest of storms. Your hand it shined as the rain bounced off the skin and as our lips embraced a new life for us was about to begin. All the pain and misery Take it all away from me As i lay down to sleep our eyes synch together as do our hearts beat. Before you everything felt so blue, felt used like everything i ever wanted fell right through. Then you appeared out of no where letting me know that it's you who cared understanding, never demanding Showing me in the hardest of times there's really nothing to fear. All the pain and misery Take it all away from me As i lay down to sleep our eyes synch together as do our hearts beat.
Who would have thought We'd be standing here today This road was hard fought We made it anyway Now we stand before God And we start our new life As we battle the odds I'm glad to become your wife I vow to love you You vow to love me To honor and cherish And to love eternally As man and woman We stand separate As husband and wife We stand together
Way back then, when my years were gold. A chopper I was, I'd been told. I would leave one morning, and get back that night. To my wife this caused, a terrible fright. One trip I took a nasty fall. time after that, I broke my jaw. After a while, we decided I should quit. I was sick and tired, of all this $hit. I know I needed, to go back to work. But no one would hire, those stupid jerks. A month later, my wife died. I broke down, and cried and cried. So I went to my boss, and begged for my job. "Ok," he said, and I went to chop logs. I was by myself, chopping a pine. When the tree fell, on a leg of mine. It hurt like hell, when it hit my leg. When I woke up, I wished I was dead. I looked around, for some form of escape. But my axe had fallen, into the lake. I checked my pockets, and found nothing. Except for a spoon, and some other something. By looking around, I knew what to do. I gripped the spoon tightly, and bit on my shoe. And then I started, to hack away. Hacking and slashing, until night turned to day. I don't remember, much after that. I know I died, from where I sat. You see, I was always a little dumb. But it seemed I cut off, THE WRONG DAMN ONE!

Her heart was breaking as she stepped into the bar, This time her cowboy had pushed her just a little too far. The neon lights seemed to be calling as the music took it its toll, Pour me a couple of them little shooters I feel I'm on a roll. The music was inviting as she watched the couples dance, Until she met this cowboy who held her in his trance. She still had on her wedding ring as they danced across the floor, This cowboy had ill intentions as he danced her to the door. He said let's go get some air as casual as that, She said I'm sorry cowboy I just don't like the color of your hat. She turned to walk back in but he grabbed a hold of her, She said you best be turning loose or else you'll feel my angry spur. He turned her loose right then and there this girl with golden hair, When right behind her stood her cowboy whom she'd thought had been unfair. He said I've come to take you home, and I'm sorry for what I said, But you're just so gosh durn pretty I git messed up in my haid. She said you are my cowboy I've got my brand on you, But you're gonna have to loosen up on them reins when I ask you to. He said you got yourself a deal I'll give it all I've got, No more roping or the rodeos cause honey making you happy truly means a lot. He grabbed up his little filly and sat her in his truck, And told her that he loved her and with him she was stuck. They rode off into the sunset, This story had a good ending so listen don't you fret.
Twas the night before Christmas And Jack wasn't there He was out with a blonde With long flowing hair His wife Clare arranged for six neighbours to dine But Jack and his gal were sipping red wine Wifey had visions of Jack falling lame Never suspecting he was out with some dame The snow kept a falling As time tick tocked on As Clare sat a fretting That something was wrong Jack and his mistress A dim witted floozie Were snuggled together In the motel Jacuzzi At a quarter to nine The front doorbell rung But Jack's angry wife Had gone for her gun She ran past her friends Out of the door Screaming and yelling I'll shoot the darn whore!
Love that dies is never alive, no matter how much you strive. If you desire love to survive, then you must know no strife. Reach out and touch Gods outstretched hand, He'll hold it securely in His near to His heart. Love never dies, it is alive and forever will be! (c) August 22, 2006 Rosemarie Schrock
A wife is a woman, loving and true, A wife is a woman, that woman is you. A wife is so special, so take care of her, A wife is so special, for she's always there.

I can be this strong girl it wont be to long.... Cole Hodson (c)
I have found the one my soul does love bearing gifts from above; My darling, my fair one, Come away, turtle dove, After whom I run... I search to this end, To find my perfect one And my best friend, Majestic as the stars and moonbeams on lawn; upon the seas my beloved Appears like the dawn, Whom now I hold; I will not let go Of my concerned lover, Whom alone does know, Protects my heart, cares for me in whole; I have found the one Who loves my soul With vehement flames And coals of fire, By whom I am roused, For whom is my desire Unquenched and sealed, strong and unyielding, undrowned and guarded With a blazing sword weilding; My heavenly angel Hasted, and beheld me, Received me, embraced me; Though refuge failed me, I am strong belonging, and my beloved is mine; the shadows all vanish... Day break does shine As bright as the sun With the singing of birds; Unique and most lovely, Voicing sweet words, My flawless one is my beautiful dove; giving gifts from above, I am my beloved's... I have found the one My soul does love.
As the night falls and our day ends as I look into your eyes I see it, to hold your hand, kiss your lips, as you touch my face I fill it, in the cold glass of water you brought me on that hot summer day or the candle light dinner you made for us I can taste it, As a young boy seeing what I see in your eyes I never thought it was possible the sun set,the sun raise,misty mountains,snow top trees in December, even while growing up I never felt this moment,this time,this place, I never knew to look into your eyes to see it...and I will always remember, The first time I seen you I didn't see it, in our first kiss I felt the earth shack but I didn't fill it, even in your meals I never tasted it, now I know it, no need to look for it, or to say I never seen it, weather under the weather in your eyes it's there, in a kiss good bye,hello or good-night that we share, a quick bite,a quite lunch,or a dinner for two nothing compares, to say it brings chills to my body even after all these years, as I fill it deep in my soul it drowns my weary and calms my fears, a moment with you, your smile,your laugh,in your eyes of blue just being near, in my hand, in my heart, in my presents, in you...after every year, your my world, your my every thing, from eyes of blue to your wedding ring, the love I have for you makes my heart sing, I can't see it with out together can't fill it with out the seasons weather, I couldn't taste it with out you altogether and I couldn't say always with out forever.
The blues they have me down, sometimes they can be so mean Yeah they have me down and sometimes they can be so mean Suicidal thoughts, they got me caught in between They can be so mean, they have me caught in between I try to be romantic and buy my wife a bouquet of flowers But with her bad news, she brings a dozen showers She tells me we can no longer live on dreams She is like the blues, leaving me caught in between Suicide may be the best way out I try to tell her what the blues are all about The blues they have me down, sometimes they can be so mean My wife tells me she's gone, we cannot live on dreams No forward address to contact her, cannot even say hello I feel for her, the stress from bills and money we owe I wonder which way to turn, which way I should go If I decide suicide, does the fire eater really collect my soul How much more can I truly bear I have no hope, I am in such deep despair The grass is never greener on the other side as it seems The blues can be so heartless, they can be so mean
What wouldn't I have done for Mother Anna when daddy left home, and abandoned his children... like they were orphans forgotten and alone? On that winter's evening snowflakes danced cheerfully, and the Christmas Tree shone brilliantly as an angel fell and broke his wing; silence descended to denote a great loss... stirred by a commotion that couldn't be stustained! A wife lost her companion; kids, an uncaring father who could never lead or set an example for them to admire the most... Underneath the bare oak tree, by the brightness of the street lamps... three young girls sobbed and wept sadly; an airplane fled across the vast sky illuminated by the splendid stars: they waved their trembling hands to someone they would never see again, was theirs a memorable cry? What would have I done in the eyes of God, if not help you carry half of the load: denouncing with anger and grief his selfishness and injustice? Mother Anna,that pain was immensely mutual, drawing us together to defy his action which was thougthless and cruel; Mother Anna,your wisdom indicated retribution...
what did I say?...what did I do?... when was the moment or was it over time? I can't find the words much less a rhyme, how is it ...that I deserve you?
From the moment I met you Stared into those eyes of crystal blue You were the one I have been waiting for My heart has braved rough waters, you are my beacon to bring it to shore We walked and talked, sharing our life long dreams We both worked, went to college, we valued every moment in between Now you have become my bride, I have become your groom Love is like a beautiful instrument, must keep it in tune Here we come up on our tenth anniversary Three kids, two cars, rehearsals and PTO meetings Somewhere along the line, we forgot us, our romance gone awry What comes next, when the sparks no longer fly I believe we've gotten comfortable, doing the same old routine This is not the fairy tale marriage, the vision we seen We need to find that fuel and warm our hearts together Let's huddle as one and brave the stormy weather It all comes down to where is our time In the beginning we were one with our hearts and minds It won't get any easier as more time passes by How do you warm two cold hearts when the sparks no longer fly Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, whose to blame We were both responsible as keepers of the flame Lack of communication, each of us on different terms No fire present but we both felt burnt Now our lives are cold, empty and dry Where do we seek the warmth of shelter when the sparks no longer fly
Looking back at the years that have past I couldn't help but to smile, 87 years of life took alot from me,but it never took the memories I have of you, I can still see the beautiful young blue eyed girl who waited to walk down the aisle, you introduced me to true love, showed me another way, and helped me to start a new, All the laughs we shared, how much we grew , a wonderful life as husband and wife, as lovers, friends, enemies, companions, and parents, we argued, agreed, disagreed, and persist, we said nothing will come between us, nothing will tear us apart, nothing will change our life, 67 years of marriage I couldn't of had it any better not even this....our last kiss, I wish I could tell you thank you and kiss you goodbye, but I couldn't bare to see you cry, I want to remember the one who made me whole, the one who stood by my side the one who tucked me in at night with a soft kiss a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a person who is loved and who gives love with out deny, with patents you waited, gave, listened,helped and never once you asked for nothing in return, you I will truly miss I know when you awake and find that I have past sad and heart broken you will be, I just need you to know I didn't want to leave you like this, you made my life worth every moment I was blessed with you in my life that I can see, so up above I'll be waiting for the love of my life, and savoring our last kiss.
{the woman} If my charm proves deceitful, If beauty will flee- Will you still love me for me? If my health becomes sickness, If worse things you'd see- Would you still love me for me? (Bridge) And I am convinced, though the future presents Any creature that ever will be In the heights or the depths, none can separate us~ If you will still love me for me. Set me as a seal upon your heart Lover of my soul, my deepest part, Just the way I am without one plea I love you for you; love me for me With the most vehement flames of fire Waters cannot quench true love's desire Or wash it far away into the sea I love you for you; love me for me (Chorus) {the man} If my glory of strength fades, If fame will decrease- Will you still love me for me? If my talents should be lost, If all gifts should cease- Would you still love me for me? (BridgeII) But I am persuaded through all tribulations, Though famine and peril may be, That no hardship or nakedness shall separate us If you will still love me for me. (Chorus)
How do I say I love you for the umpteenth time how can I tell you how much you mean to me, I said forever and always,till death do us part said what you do to me,what you are to me, After years of being side by side I miss you when we're apart after we argue I still want to call out your name, the hardest of times,even the highest mountains we ever climbed I still get butter flies when I look in your eyes, I wrote you poems ,letters drew you pictures left you notes signing them all with x's and o's, said this was are song,our place, our life I held you,kissed you,loved you with the deepest intent, to say your essential to me sounds programed how do I say I love you with out it sounding old, to show you how years later I long to hold you in my arms I long to kiss your soft lips how do I tell you what all this meant, A word that is used so much fills like it means so little I love you doesn't say with out you I couldn't be but how do I say I love you when your my world I love you...can it be just that easy?
Good morning Fourteen years ago today we said I do, fourteen years later I'm still madly in love with you, you are my power when I fill run down, the one who lifts me up and erases my frown, mother to my children, lover in my arms, my best friend ....the one behind all my charm, you are my heart and soul and all my life's worth, and always my inspiration to move forth, my girl, my woman, my lady, my dear, you dried my eyes and chased my fears, you are my sun light and my nights bright star, the sparkle in my eye and my one and only by far, my past, my present, and my future all rolled into one, and the way you smile at me....I see our lives have just begun, without you I couldn't see all the wonders before me, so on this day with full of pride and loving respect happy anniversary.

The sight of an infinity pool is very inviting. I like the illusion of seeming like you're swimming in the ocean. :) BTW, I think it would be better if there are pictures included here. ;)
Best Pool Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach 2011 - W Fort Lauderdale
401 N. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd.
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301
Walk out the fifth-floor glass doors and into the pool area at the W Hotel on A1A, and euphoria is the only way to describe the sensation. The enormous pool expands in all directions, and if you squint, it's hard to decipher where the pool ends and the panoramic ocean view begins. The best part is that in the offseason, the W opens its doors to the public for "Salvation Sunday" pool parties, weekly from 12:30 to 8 p.m. It's the ideal location to sip a bloody mary and mingle at the white, shiny bar with others who feel living in South Florida calls for at least an afternoon per week of vacation-like activity. Curl up on one of the world's cushiest lounge chairs, bake in the sun, and then take a dip in the pool. Ahh, that's better.

The week's delay in kicking off the United Way of Ellis County Campaign 2012 because of an electrical outage at the Smoky Hill Country Club didn't dampen enthusiasm.
However, it did create some scheduling conflicts for Gary Aufdemberge, board of directors chairman and Derek Gerstner, the 2012 campaign chairman.
"No board that I've ever been associated with works as hard as this board does," said Jason Rauch, executive director. "This group is a unique, a fantastic, group of people."
Rauch introduced Rachel Albin, who will take on her duties as administrative assistant on Monday.
John Scheck, past president of the board of directors, presented Gerstner's speech.
"The theme this year is building bridges. We build bridges every day in everything that we do. From the United Way standpoint, we are trying to be the bridge between ourselves and the agencies that we serve."
Scheck also mentioned United Way 211, designed to help anyone who has a need such as rent, utilities, medical or counseling. Those needing help can dial 211 or go to www.211kansas.org.
This year's goal is $475,000, the same as last year. Pacesetter companies have raised nearly $148,000 or 31 percent of the total.
"None of it is state money, none of it is federal money. It is all community money ... You decide what each project, each program is going to get," Rauch said.
Rauch is completing his first year as executive director.
"It's been good," he said. "It's definitely been informative. This is such a tight community. It seems like any time something comes up, people are ready to step in and help. It's such a different environment than anywhere else I've been."
