Keeping It Simple One Day at a Time

Dying to be Read 1982-1991

The Perfect Rhyme...

All My Life I've been searching for The Perfect Rhyme

From the sands on the shore To the stars in the sky

Through the seasons of time , The reason I'm alive

I long to find The Perfect Rhyme

I know not how it started

It just happened one day

People told Me I was crazy

They would always turn away

I would just turn the page

Writing until My fingers bled

No One Reading A Word I Said....

Crying In Words

My Poetic Determination

Leads Me into frustration

For what I write is meant to be read

Why won't You Read Me

I'm Crying In Words

I have no voice

As the pen is My choice

I need You to listen

Yet I need not Your ears

You won't hear Me

I'm Crying In Words

My Words have the Power

To make You feel As I've felt

Upon these Words I dwell

Cast without A spell

And Oh So Many Stories To Tell

Does Anyone have feelings for Me

I'm Crying In Words

I'm Crying In Words

I'm Crying In Words.....

Once A Friend

No pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

Did thunder call to You from within the storm

As I wonder how He could take His own Life

I now feel the shackles He had once worn

Betrayed by His self inflicted will

The desperate Child now dies

All alone choosing Himself to kill

All alone My best Friend Dies

All alone His best Friend Cries

Thousands Of Children

On an empty stage

Rehearsing Their Own Death

The climax, Their Death, Their Last Breath

At such An early Age

Does Anyone know the reason

In Life's darkest season

To return to dust

And be washed away by the rain

To forget trust, To have lived in vain

I look into the eye of the storm

I see tears in many eyes

Forever more in Their Memory kept

The Face of A Friend that They have just left

Beneath The Earth Within shadows of Eternal Rest

I now sit in Solitude

How may I answer this Question

Such A negative Attitude

In An Unknown direction

Had He no feeling for Anothers Affection

Please,Please Answer My Question

Answer My Question........

Should You

Should You follow The stars , Should You follow The leader

As I'm The Writer , You're My Reader

Should You walk in The rain , Don't drown within Sorrow

Should We Smile Again , It All Ends Tomorrow

Should You see Their Dreams , Should They touch Your Heart

Should You hear Their Screams , It's To Soon To Part

Between You And I Feelings Are Far To Deep To Compromise

Should You Laugh , Should You Cry

Should You Miss Me , Should It Be My Time To Die

Life's not as it seems , No One seems to care

Life was just A Dream , Reality is My Nightmare

Life is A time bomb , Death The Explosion

Soon The bomb blows , No more Emotion

Going Through Life , So much aggravation

Dreaming Of Death , To Much Hesitation

Should You treat the flame with respect Instead of Desire

Should You Burn in Hell , Introduced to The Fire

When Life's Not What It Seems

When You Couldn't Change

When Death Is No Longer A Dream

When Death Is Pre-Aranged

Should Your Soul Be Exchanged.......

The Answer Lies

A Stairway Of Sand Will Take You Nowhere

Take Hold of My hand Should You Fall Into Despair

I Tried To Reach Out , You Offer Me Your Disgrace

Death Within Your Smile As You spit in My Face

Have You Forgotten Our Friendship

As You Put Your Life Around Your Throat

As The Noose Begins To Slip

Its The End Of The Rope

The Answer Lies , The Answer Lies

The Question Remains Forever Lost

The Answer Lies , The Answer Lies

Tell Me What To Feel When My Best Friend Dies

Now The Answer Lies Behind Forever Closed Eyes

Never To See Me Again, Nor Speak To Me

Or Be My Friend

As I Place The Flowers At His Grave

I Remember The Face Of The Friend

That I Couldn't Save

There's No Answer To My Question

Now Tears Fill My Eyes

I Never Even Told Him Good Bye......

Child Of The Rope

Was Your Life Not Worth The Anger You Possessed

When You Reached Your Final Height Of Torment

Did You Have To Be So Obsessed

A Thirst For Blasphemy

Quenched Within Your Final Hour

Hungry For A Destiny

Soon To Be Devoured

Child Of The Rope , Desperate To Escape

To Much To Take , To Much , To Late

All Eyes Are One Tear

For Your Fate We Feared

Within Our Tears Rain

Memories Between The Drops

To Soon To Reach His End

My Best Friends Life Has Stopped

You Took Your Last Breath

It Wasn't A Joke

You Introduced Yourself To Death

You Chose The Rope

Child Of The Rope , Desperate To Escape

To Much To Take , To Much , To Late

Tears I Never Thought I'd Cry

Never Thought That You Would Die

I Sometimes Wonder Why I Couldn't Stop It

I Really Did Care , Let's Just Drop It........

I'm Everything , I'm Not

Its No Use , I Can't Forget

Echoing In My Mind

Everything Nothing

A Friend I Miss

A Friend I'll Never Forget

I Woke This Morning With No Attitude

In A Whiskey Bottle I Find Solitude

I've Forgotten Last Night

I Remember The Morning For Only A Moment

I No Longer Remember Your Name

Or How My Times Spent

I Wash Down My Pain With Another Shot

It's The Only Peace I Know

I'm Everything , I'm Not.......

Alcoholic

I Can't Resist Temptation

Existing Upon Intoxication

To The Bottle I Fall

My Obsession With Alcohol

No Where Left To Hide

Overflowing With Pride

Nothing Left Inside

Living A Lie

Whiskey In My Blood

My Heart Distilled

My Kidneys Are Mud

My Liver To Be Killed

My Dreams Deceased

Inebriated Thoughts

My Mind Diseased

No Lessons Been Taught

I Refuse To Stop

I Refuse To Quit

I'm Everything , I'm Not

For This Is My Writ........

Chapter Two

She's Not There

Wandering Aimlessly Through A Life Of Silence

All Alone With A Torn Up Conscience

It's No One He's Searching For

There Must Be Somebody Out There

To Take His Hand And Show Him The Way

Out Of The Shadows Where He Hides His Pain

Through Her Veil Of Darkness

They Share A Stare

He Tries To Touch Her

She's Not Really There.....

Lonely

I've Often Wondered What It's Like

To Be More Than Just Friends

Have I Met The Girl At Long Last

Will She Make A Man Of Me

Or Have I Again Thought To Fast

Will Love Again Pass Me Bye

Or Should I Be Calm

As She Looks Into My Heart

Sweat In My Palms

Trying To Be Kind I'm Defeating My Purpose

With Her On My Mind It's Making Me Nervous

I've Tried And I've Cried

It's Just To Hard To Pretend

Lonely Is Still The Name

In Shame My Loves Sent

Soon To Be Forgotten

Lonely One Hundred Per Cent.......

My Only Friend , My Pen

The Only Friend I Have Is My Pen

It's A Lonely World On The Page Again

I Stay Up All Night

Writing Words For No One To Read

I Don't Care What Anyone Thinks

It's What I Long To Be

I'll Write Better Than Anyone Else

I'll Show You , You'll See....

Just Read......

My Restless Rhymes

Another Night , Another Song

As For Me , There's Something Wrong

Question Without Answer

My Pen Bleeds Upon The Page

The Drummer , The Dancer

On Stage Share Their Rage

Inflicted With Rhyme

Lost In My Songs

Searching For Time

I've Waited To Long

I'm Still Searching For The Perfect Rhyme

Somewhere Within My Dreams

A Rhyme I May Never Find

So Far Away It Seems

I Practice Rhyme All The Time

My Sinful Rhymes- Confessed

A Lonely Rhyme- Depressed

The Naked Rhyme- Undressed

An Immature Rhyme- Put To The Test

My Restless Rhymes

To Much To Digest

I'll Never Stop Writing

Until The Day I Pass Away

Rhyme Shall Never Rest

As Long As I Have Something To Say......

Girl

A Smile , A Girl

Feelings I'm Being Shown

She Throws A kiss At Me

My Hearts Taken Away

I Can't Believe It

She's Looking My Way

I Tell Her Of My Feelings

She Speaks Of Hers

Our First Kiss

A Thousand Words

A Million Rhymes

I'm Gonna Be Hers

She's Gonna Be Mine

All My Sorrow Turns Around

I Have To Tell The World

Of This Love I've Found

So I Write Down In Words

My Feelings For Her.....

She's Happening To Me

My Heart Was Deserted

The Day We Met

The Arrow Inserted

I'll Never Forget

Your Touch Is My Treat

Your Love I Could Be

Until Next We Meet

I'll Sweep You Off Your Feet

Sweeter Than Honey

She Holds My Hand

Worth More Than Money

She Knows Where She Stands

I Can't Believe

It's Almost A Dream

I Can't Believe

She's Happening To Me

I'm At The Point

Where My Heart Gives In

It Reminds Me

Of A Love I Must Win

If She Should Frown

You Know It brings Me Down

Aquarian Angel

For Your Love - I'd Drown

As The Ocean

Deep Are My Emotions

As The Flower

My Love For Her Grows

I Can't Believe

As If In A Dream

I Can't Believe

She's Happening To Me

Within My Arms

Within My Heart

Like A Painting

You're A Work Of Art

I Feel Her Touch

Easing Me On

I Do Believe

She's Happening To Me

She's Unlocked My Heart

She's Within My Soul

Never Part

For Love Will Always Grow

I'd Never Leave You

So Don't Ever Go........

She

She convinces Me It's not A dream

She Loves Me as much as I Love Her

Does She really know how much She means to Me

Does She Love Me as much as I Love Her

Does She Understand Me

Does She Understand

Does She

She.........

Understand

Precious is the Love I've been shown

Our destiny lies ahead

Remaining Unknown

She's taught Me how to Love

Almost As If In A Dream

Feeling Love For in Love I've never been

Her Arrow in My heart will always be

If She chooses to stay with only Me

Morning comes to often

I've got to leave to soon

But I'll be back to Love Her

When the Night Sky

Holds A New Moon

She's the Only Flower

In My Garden of Love

A Precious Petal is shed for Me

I'm Her Sunshine from above

She's Within My Soul

She Holds My Heart In Her Hands

I'll Always Be Here For Her To Hold

I Hope She Understands.......

I Don't Understand

The space between Us is growing

Why won't You tell Me where You're going

You've introduced Me to the feelings of Love

Now You want to throw me away

I Don't Understand

Lost In My Confusion

I Still Feel Love

I Long For Your Touch

Did I Ask To Much

I Don't Understand....

Are We Still In Love......

So Far Away

My Acquaintance Anguish

Come Back To Me

As I Bathe In My Tears

Intrude Upon My Misery

I've Lived, For I've Loved

Lonesome is No Good

Do You Feel As I Feel

As I Need Your Love

(Chorus) So Far Away

My Emotions Unchained

So Far Away

Don't Tell Me My Loves InVain

So Far Away

You'll Never Put Out My Flame

It's Been Lonely Days

Since We've Been Apart

My Only Wish

To Hold On To Your Heart

I'm Breaking Down

The Distance Between Us

I'm Seeing Visions I've Never Seen

I See Your Face Encircled In Clouds

I Just Wish I Could See You Now

(Repeat Chorus)

You're More Than A Thought

An Endless Desire

A Perfect Match

You Lit My Fire

Such Empty Feelings

Of My Pain There's No Measure

Your Absence Leaves Me In Ruin

Forever Lost Is My Treasure

I'm Infinitely Undone

Reflecting Upon Memories

No More Love

She's Gone

(Repeat Chorus)+

So Far Away

My Emotions Remain

So Far Away

Don't Tell Me My Loves In Vain

So Far Away

My Love For You Will Always Remain

So Far Away

You'll Never Put Out My Flame.........

The Flame Burns Dim

Please tell Me how to forget

The Love She taught Me of

The Months And Years

When She was here

Have changed My Life

My Words are not Enough

To change Her mind

When She's gone

I hope it's Love She finds

The candle still burns deep within My heart

The Flame Burns Dim

As for Her feelings for Me

Perhaps given to Him

Her Face , Her Name

My Pain , My Shame

Our Picture in A frame

You'll Never Put Out My Flame.......

Picture Of You

Tears Fill My Eyes

As Your Memory Dwells Within My Mind

A Thought I've Misplaced

No Sign Of Your Face

You Reminded Me Our Love Had No Future

I'm Blind , Yet I See I'm No Longer In The Picture

Are You Afraid Of Love , Are You Afraid Of Me

Am I Afraid Of The Face In the Picture I See

A Transparent Personality

Did You See Right Through Me

You've Shattered My Affections

You Broke My Heart

Imagine All We Could Have Been

Picture Of Pity

Painted In Pain

Resemblance Of Our Image

Captured In A Frame........

She's Gone

A Lovebird That Flies Away

Is The One That Never Longed To Stay

Love Is The Flower That Withered Away

As She Was The Love That Left Me Today

Lightning Held The Power

Of Our Love Now Devoured

As The Candle Holds The Light

My Flame's Put Out This Night

As My Feelings Fade Away

I'm Still Confused

Why Wouldn't You Stay

You Know It's Me You'll Never Replace

And All The Memories I Can't Erase

You Say You Don't Hate Me

You Say You Won't Date Me

Please Tell Me Why

You Had To Forsake Me

She's Gone , She's Gone

To Sing Someone Else's Song

My Songbird Flew Away

My Nest Is Now Empty

Thank You

For The Love You Once Lent Me.......

I Was

Don't You Want Me

KEEP ME

How Did Love Lead To Misery

WANT ME

Your Love Is My Hunger

FEED ME

I Still Want You , Your Obsenity

RAPE ME

We No Longer Live In Each Others Fantasies

HURT ME

I Was Your Lover , I Was Your Need

NEED ME

Remember Our Pleasure Together

FEEL ME

Why Won't You See

SEE ME

Lost And Alone , I Call Your Name

HEAR ME

My Heart Turns To Stone , My Love's In Vain

BREAK ME

From My Life You Disappear

LEAVE ME

I STILL WANT YOU ,

YOU WANT ME GONE

I STILL WANT YOU

SO I WROTE THIS SONG

I WAS YOUR LOVER

I WAS YOUR

I WAS............

Chapter Three

My Disease

Alcoholic Part Two

An Endless Hangover

This Morbid Condition

Over Indulgence

But It's My Decision

A Lifetime I've Missed

Put Me On The Critical List

It's My Life I've Ruined

Perhaps I Started To Soon

A Bottle , A Habit

I've Just Got To Have It

I Need More Poison

To Feel My Adrenalin Flow

Stripped Of Passion

This Endless Woe

I Often Ask The Question

Is The Bottle My Foe

Into The Asylum

My Life's Insane

Back On The Street

I'm Drunk Again

As I've Said

The Alcohol Commands

Was The Problem In My Head

Or Was It In My Hand

I Can't Fall Asleep

Unless I Pass Out

I'll Have Another Drink

Without A Doubt

Why Can't I Wake Up

Please Don't Shout

I'm Back In The Asylum

Let Me Out , Let Me Out

Alcoholic , Am I An Alcoholic

I Need Another Drink

I Need Another Shot

No Need To Think

No Need To Stop

It's The Only Peace I Know

I'm Everything , I'm Not.......

Please , Just One More.......

D U I

Alcohol Plays A Role

In This Person , Myself

I No Longer Know

The Keys , The Car

Another Beer Before I Leave The Bar

I Barely Get The Key Into The Ignition

It's Easier To Drive In This Condition

I Stop At The Liquor Store

I Need Some More

Forgetting What Happened

A Few Nights Before

I'm Out Of Jail

It's Only A D.U.I

Another Court Date In The Mail

Another Beer For The Ride

Red Lights , Green Lights

Yellow Ones Too

Within My Rear View Mirror

The Lights Are Blue......

Have Another

Will You Face Up To Your Ignorance

Or Are You Lost Within Your Innosense

As You Look Behind You

Does It Make Any Sense

Now You Stare At The Judge

Without Defense

So As You've Lost Your Sanity

You Find It's Such A Cost

When It's A Reality

Once Again , It's No Big Deal

You'll Get Behind The Wheel

Of Your Lawless Car , Tires Squeeling

As You're Leaving The Bar

The Reaper Behind The Wheel

Perhaps Another Life To Steal

Have Another Beer , Crank Up The Metal

No Need For The Law

Abuse That Gas Pedal

Have Another Beer

Forget The Speed Limit

Have Another Shot

Forget Your Own Limit

Drunk On The Street

Drunk As You Drive

The Fate You May Meet

Your Own Suicide

Or Worse Yet

The Death Of The Innocent

With Whom You Collide........

Click , Click..........

I'm Wearing My Steel Bracelets

I'm Thrown On A Cold Cement Floor

Kicked In The Face

As They Slam The Big Steel Door

I Wake Up In A Jail Cell

No Where To Hide , No Where To Run

There's No Story To Tell

I Can't Remember What I've Done

Lost In A Secret Sentence

Of My Own Repentance

I'm Marched Into The Courtroom

Without An Excuse , Without A Lawyer

I'm Still Confused As To How I Got Here

Now The Judge Lets Me Know

Of My Every Mistake

He Tells Me This Time

I Won't Get A Break

Did I Really Hit A Cop

Did I Really Hit A Truck

I Ask Him For My Car

He Tells Me Good Luck

The Judge Announces My Bail

Then Slams Down The Gavel

I'm Back Off To Jail

No Money , No Travel

Now I'm Out On Bail

I've Got My New Court Date

They Tell Me You Better Get A Lawyer Boy

You're Gonna Pay Dearly For Your Mistakes......

State Your Case

I'm The Defense For Your Offense

Why You Did It , Makes No Sense

Established By So Called Athority

These Rules And Regulations

Jurisdiction Frowns Upon Me

Misdemeanors And Felonies

My Lawyer Says To Plead Guilty

And Start My Search For Sanity

State Your Case

Crime Cannot Be Erased

All The Laws You've Defaced

And No One Can Take Your Place

I'll Take Your Case

However You'll Pay For My Mind

I'm Here To Protect You

But You May Do Some Time

I'm Now On The Stand

I Feel I'll Fail

So Many Questions At Hand

A Few More Words From My Lawyer

Keeps My Dumb Ass Out Of Jail

The Judge Weighs The Evidence

And Ponders His Decision

Drops A Few Of The Charges

And Offers Me Supervision

State Your Case

Crime Cannot Be Erased

All The Laws You've Defaced

And No One Can Take Your Place

I'm Just A Lawyer

I Don't Write The Laws

But , When You Get In Trouble

Give Me A Call........

Exodus 34 Verse 7

Preserving Loving Kindness For Thousands

Pardoning Error And Transgression And Sin

But By No Means Will He Give Exemption

From Punishment

Bringing Punishment For The Errors Of

Fathers Upon Sons And Upon Grandsons

Upon The Third Generation

And Upon The Forth Generation

The Family Heir Loom

The Family Heir Loom Is Within My Great Grandfathers Hand

He Hands It Down To His Son

And He Does The Same

Generation After Generation

Is It For Me To Abstain

The Son Of That Son

Who I Call My Father

Doesn't Even Care

So I'm Not A Bother

He Doesn't Know Me

Does He Know Himself

I Learn As He Shows Me

How He Ruins His Health

A Reflection Of My Parents

At The Bottom Of My Bottle

I Need No Consent

Inconsiderate Of The Consequence

I Know It All

At Least That's My Opinion

A Love Affair With Alcohol

I Drink , Its My Obsession

In Addition To Addiction

My Inherited Intoxication

Enhances My Decisions

To Confront Life's Frustrations

The Manner In Which I Display

My Character Is A Re-Run

Like Father Like Son

Like Father Like Son

Parental Disgression

Won't Cure My Infection

They Offer Me Poor Advice

And Help Me Fail

My Ancestors Watch

As I Trace Their Trail.........

Heredity

It Was Water Under The Bridge

It Was'nt Long Ago

Now It's A Kettle Above The Fire

As It's Boiling Over , Overflow

Like My Father

And His Father Before Him

I've Fallen Prey

To The Bottle Of My Kin

I Look In The Mirror

A Reflection Of Them

A Face Full Of Fear

Am I Condemned

Heredity

A Transmission Of Traits

Heredity

A Formation Of Fate

To Relive The Past

As I Live Today

In This Role I've Been Cast

My Life Is A Play

I Follow The Footsteps

Upon an Unfortunate Path

For All To see

Heredity - My Wrath..........

Insanity

Now My Consumption Is Out Of Control

I'm Back In The Mental Institution

Tell Me Who's To Blame

For The Order Of My Conscience

This Monster I've Become

Am I Truly Insane

My Manifest Is Clouded

The Bottle Keeps Urging Me On

It Helps Me To Forget

The Memories I Dwell Upon

Drunk And Disorderly

An Ill Fate Within My Eyes

I Forfeit My Sanity

No Compromise

Taken Into Custody , To Be Legalized

For This My Calamity , I'm Penalized

No Institution Could Have A Solution

I Cancel The Cure , Just To Be Sure

My Mind Needs No Restitution

I Pour Another Drink For My Overture

I've Entered The computer Age

In A Toxic Wasteland

As I Press The Keys

With Trembling Hands

Society Wants To Repress Me

Suspend Me From Myself

To Handicap My Habits

To Help Me With My Mental Health

Sentenced To Sanction

Speaking In Key

To A Municipal Machine

I Punch In My Plea

Not Guilty - Void Me Please

NEGATIVE - Read The Decree

BRING YOUR DISC TOMORROW

THINK OVER YOUR PLEA

Sleep Comes Quickly Within My Cell

I've Been Up For Three Days Drinking

As I'm Standing Upon The Brink

Of Which I Almost Fell

Infected Insides From My Problematic Pastime

It's My Disease , Its My Life

If It Takes Me To My Grave

It's My Choice

Can I Ever Stop , Will I Ever Quit

Will It Take Me To My Grave

Could This Really Be My Writ..........

The Defenseless Computer Lies Inebriated

I Press Buttons There's No Reply

I Sever The Circuit To It's Intellectual Bloodstream

A Vein That Spits Sparks

No Longer In The Memory Bank

For I've Smashed The Security Chip

I Push More Buttons To Retrieve My Disc

The Computer Screen Is Blank

The Disk Into My Pocket Slips

Now Out Through One Door

As I Run Past The Holding Cells

Now I'm Back On The Streets

Where We Used To Meet

Where I Used To Live

Where Everyone Lies And Cheats

And No One Forgives......

Live And Let Live

My Past I Must Forget........

The Streets

The streets May Sometimes Treat You Unfair

Empty , Yet Filled With Despair

I Remember A Time

When I Used To Live Here

It's 2 a.m. , The Streets And I Alone

We Walk Together In Silence

Through The Places I've Out Grown

Shadows Of My Life

The Future Unknown

Words Painted Upon The Wall

Reflect The Writers Intelligence

As I Let Go Of The Past

I Listen For Destiny's Call

I Now Seek My Future

As I Erase My Name From The Wall........

The Past

I Look To The Sky

The Past Calls To Me

It Can't Be Denied

My Past Is History

It Looks Me In The Eyes

It Laughs As I Cry

Yet It Doesn't Tell Me Why

I Must Put It Aside

As Far As It Seems

My Past Is But A Dream

All The Vast Memories

Of My Deserted Destinies

Forever Gone

The Past Holds No Key

To Unlock The Door Of The Future

Remaining Unforseen

Take Me To Where The Distance Ends

And Tell Me

Would You Be Afraid

To Meet An Old Friend

Now The Tide Washes Away

What Time Had Not Wished To Stay

You're Cast From The Past

It All Went So Fast

Shall The Memories Forever Last

In The Future

Live Beyond Your Past.........

Let Go

Recollection Recalls Affection

As You Close Your Eyes

Your Tears Are But A Memory

Perhaps The Past Has Made You Wise

You No Longer Walk Upon This Path

Choose Wisely At The Fork In The Road

Let Go Of The Past

A New Life You Shall Behold

Child Of The Street

Standing On Your Own

Defy Defeat

At This Your Troubled Milestone...........

Whatever Happened

How Can I Forget

Good Times , Good Friends

Whatever Happened

How Did It All End

Whatever Happened

Remember The Cookouts In Our Yards

Picnics At The Woods

Parties In The Park

One Big Neighborhood

Drinking After Dark

Night After Night

Beer After Beer

Crankin Jams At The Lake

Drinking On The Pier

It All Seemed So Great

Just to Be Here

Yet We All Collide

With Our Emotions And Pride

A Girl , A New World

A New Life Unfurls

We Still Remained Together

Through Friendships Stormy Weather

But Finding Our Ways

We've Drifted Apart

No Matter What Anyone Says

We All Follow Our Heart

So Now I Write Upon An Empty Note

Of All My Old Friends , Few Remain True

Yet I Sometimes Wish It Could Be The Same

All Of Us Together Again

But It Never Will

Because Time Doesn't Stand Still

Yet I'll Never Forget

And Never Regret

The Time Spent With You

Time Spent With Friends

You're No Longer There

I'll Always Remember Us

And All The Good Times We Shared

Sometimes I Wish We Were Back There

Whatever Happened..........

The Edge Of Sobriety

As If Looking Through A Rear View Mirror

At The Life Must Leave Behind

Nothing In My Conscience Clearer

As I Lay Back To Unwind

Now All That's Past

And Now I'm Gone

It Went So Fast

Yet It Took So Long

So Now I Wonder

Where Do I Belong

Here On The Edge

Here On The Edge Of Sobriety

The Black Clouds Pass

And The Sun Shines Through

I Remember My Friends

And All The Things We Used To Do

I Can't Close The Book

So I Simply Turn The Page

I Take One Last Look

At My Younger Age

I Wonder How Time Could Pass Me Bye

And Leave Its Mark Upon My Life

I Can't Bring It Back

No Matter How I Try

So I Take One Last Look

At My Life Gone Bye

I'll Remember All My Life

I Can't Forget

And I Can't Deny

I Can't Stop Myself

As I Start To Cry

Now I Know Where I Belong

I'm Here On The Edge

I'm On The Edge Of Sobriety.........

Chapter Four

She's The One

Somewhere

Somewhere She Waits For Me

I Wish I Knew Who She Was

I Wish She'd Notice Me

Only Just Because

Does She Have Room In Her Heart

An Empty Role In Her Life's Play

Could I Be The One To Play The Part

Unknowing , My Auditions Today

There she Sits Upon A Rocking Chair

Smiling , I'm Staring In Silence

Could She Be The Answer To My Prayers

Both Of Us Sharing Diffidence

In The Stillness Of The Moment

Searching Eyes Meet

Then Turn Away

We Each Have A Question In Our Hearts

Yet We Know Not What To Say

We Each Need Someone To Be Beside

We Each Need Someone To Stay

Someday , Somehow , Somewhere........

Keeper Of My Eyes

In A Field Of Fantasy

At The Edge Of A Stare

Emotional Energy

Her Eyes Met Me There

Contagious Contact

In Her Eyes My Sight

A Starlit Stream

We're Ascending The Night

Taking Hold Of One Anothers Hand

Touching Tenderness

To Love And Understand

We Are Truly Blessed

Keeper Of My Eyes

Sharing The Same Sight

Keeper Of My Eyes

Sharing The Night

Delicate Feelings From The Depths Of Our Souls

Emotion And Ecstasy - Out Of Control

Love Within My Arms - I Need Her To Stay

Forever Her Charm,- Forever Starts Today

Keeper Of My Eyes

Never Set Me Free

Keeper Of My Eyes

Forever I;m In Love With Thee........

Woman

The Language Of Love

Spoken In Every Tongue

This Woman I've Met

Has My Heart Undone

The Song She Sings

Is Music To My Ears.

Will She Be My Everything

To Never Disappear

As She Departs

Her Love Never Goes

For The Love In My Heart

Only Stronger Grows......

So Hard To Say Good Bye

Heaven Lies Within My Hold

My Angel Spreads Her Wings

Yet It's Time For Me To Go

To Us Sorrow This Brings

Kindness Within Her Kiss

As We Say Good Night

It;s Only Her I Miss

We're So Happy

As We Hold Each Other Tight

( Chorus )

I Look Into Her Eyes

I Try To Say Good Bye

Tell Me Why It's So Hard

So Hard To Say Good Bye

Her Love's Left Upon My Lips

When The Darkness Falls

She Reminds Me When I Get Home

To Give Her A Call

Farewell My Love

But Only Til Tomorrow

Farewell My Love

Separation , The Symptom Of Our Sorrow

( Chorus )

Warm And Welcome

You Fall Into My Arms

Another Day For Me

To Cherish Your Charm

I Love You When I'm Here

I Love You When I'm Away

I Love You Because You Care

I Could Love You Forever

Please Say You'll Always Stay

It's So Hard To Say Good Bye......

Birds Of A Feather

Gathering Lost Emotions

Poetry Upon The Page

Mixing The Perfect Potion

I've The Power To Engage

Enticing Me With The Wink Of Her Eye

Fervent , Yet Sly

Igniting The Flame That Once Had Died

Inviting Me To Stand At Her Side

Love , Love

It Flies As The Dove

That Lands In My Nest

And Sings Me Her Song

She Puts Me To The Test

Shall Our Love Be Strong

Flying Together

Emotions Entwined

Birds Of A Feather

Sharing Some Wine.......

My Lady My Love

Love Is The Heart Forever Ablaze

The Look In Your Eyes

As You Look Into Mine

My Emotions For You Written In Rhyme

My Loving Feelings Shall Forever Endure

Intimate Feelings Forever Pure

But Only For One As Yourself

My Lady , My Love

The Challenge Of My Quest

Is To Find Someone True

I Know I've Found The Best

For I've Found You

My Lady , My Love

You Found Me , You Crowned Me

You're The Queen Of My Nights

A Dream For The Day

Taking Us To New Heights

Love Shows Us The Way

I'm Deep In Thought

I'm Deep In Love

You're All I've Ever Sought

My Lady , My Love......

My Lady Friend Nancy

There's A Space In My Heart

That Used To Be Empty

It's Now Overflowing With Her

And The Love She Sends Me

I Try To Express My Feelings In Words

Yet They're Not As Deep As My Feelings For Her

( Chorus )

My Beautiful Woman

A Creation Of Fancy

Grace In Her Every Step

My Lady Friend Nancy

She Walks Across The Room

I Feel Her Every Move

The Scent Of Her Perfume

Seems To Change My Mood

She's My Friend , She's My Lover

She Knows There's No Other

Who Could Ever Replace Her

Under The Covers

As The Morning Wakes

We Cherish The Night We've Spent

The Love We Made

Was What We Meant

She's My Reason For Waking

Our Lives Full Of Sharing

Our Loves For The Making

Two Hearts Full Of Caring

For Each Other , Each Day

Forever , For Each Other

Forever , I Need Her To Stay

( Chorus )

My Beautiful Woman

A Creation Of Fancy

Grace In Her Every Step

My Lady Friend Nancy

One Arrow In Two Hearts

One Touch In Our Hands

Sharing My Feelings

Only She Understands

Every Day More And More

I Grow Closer To The One

My Hearts Been Searching For

She's The One Who's Always There

When I Need Someone To Care

For We Need Each Other

To Share Each Day And Night

We're Learning To Share

Each Others Lives

She's More Than A Friend

She Means As Much As Life

She's More Than A Feeling

I've Asked Her To Be My Wife.........

Will You Marry Me

May I Have Your Hand

For This Ring To Place

My Kiss Upon Your Lips

The Smile Upon Your Beautiful Face

There's Nothing Like Love

When It's You And I

Shall We Share Each Others Lives

Until Its Our Time To Die

True Love Unknown

Then I Saw Your Face

Our Lives Togrther

A Never Ending Embrace

You're In My Heart

You're A Part Of Me

I'm A Part Of You

I'm Your Husband To Be......

Endlessly

A Beautiful Autumn Day

November Eleventh Nineteen Eighty Eight

Upon This Day I marry Nancy Lorraine

To Her My Life And Love I Dedicate

Together Forever

For Worse Or For Better

To Love Honor And Cherish

Until The Day We Shall Perish

( Chorus ) Endlessly Endlessly

That's What Your Love Is To Me

Endlessly Endlessly

The Love We Share , Endlessly

No Longer A Dream

She's In My Heart

Nothing Shall Come Between Us

Nor Tear Us Apart

I Do , I Do

The Spoken Words Of Love

To Affirm Our Affinity

The Language Of Love

With This Ring , I Thee Wed

We Share A Look In Our Eyes

Words Need Not Be Said

You May Kiss The Bride

( Chorus ) Endlessly , Endlessly

That's What Your Love Is To Me

Endlessly , Endlessly

The Love We Share , Endlessly

With Rings Upon Our Fingers

Two Souls Become One

I Long To Share With Her

Every Setting Sun

Stay With Me For All Eternity

Never Leave My Side

Never Set Me Free

Always Be My Endlessly........

Chapter Five

Dying To Be Read

It's Only Words

Words And Words And Words And Words

Some May Say I Sound Absurd

Write And Write And Write

I'm Doing It Again Tonight

Words Of Passion , Words Of Pain

Words Of Action Flowing Through My Veins

In This The Final Chapter Of My Book

Words Echo Within My Mind

All I Ask Is That You Take A Look

It's Only Words You'll Find

Words Of Fashion ,Words Of Fame

Words Bring Me Satisfaction

Let Me Explain

An Empty Page Within My Heart

Ink Flows Through My Veins

Perhaps You're Reading A Piece Of Art

For Some Words Should Be Framed

Words Of Honor , Words Of Shame

My Words May Sometimes Hurt You

For This I'm Not To Blame......

Written

Why Do I Write , Why Do I Write

I Ask Myself Every Night

The Pen Pours My Emotion Onto The Page

The Words Flow Like The River

I've Freed Them From The Page

My Power Of Perception

Painted On The Leaf

Even Carved Into Stone

I Write To Be Read

As You're Being Shown

I Write With My Head

My Heart And My Hand

I Long To Write For You

The Common Woman And Man

I Write For Expression

I Write To Be Read

Writing Is My Obcession

I'll Write Until I'm Dead

I''ve The Right To Write

You've The Right To Read

You'll See The Light

Realize The Rhyme

Take Heed........Read......

Writer

Before The Words Fade

Think Of Me

Before The Songs Made

Think In Key

Are You The Song

Sing To Me......

Could I Be Your Song

The Mystic Hour

The Musical Flower

Persuasive Poems

Enchant The Ears

These Gentle Words

I Sing , You Hear

I've Found The Musical notes

Within The Heart Of Harmony

All The Sweet Sounds

It's A Magical Melody

Combine The Sounds

To Create The Score

This Love I've Found

Could Also Be Yours

Everything Is Musical

Fingers Touching Strings

To Compliment The Composer

Voices Begin To Sing

Poetry On The Page

Voice In Key

Sing Me On Stage

Sing To Me

You'll Never Cut The Chord

For I Rule The Rythem

The Song Is My Sword

My Musical Incision

I'm A Library Of Lyric

A Million Words Strong

I've Made You My Critic

Could I Be Your Song ??????........

Dying To Be Read

The Late Great Composers

Spent Their Lives Creating Works Of Art

An Infinite Talent

Music Created From Within Their Hearts

A Love For Music

Beyond Imagination

Living Out Their Lives

In A Poor Mans Situation

A Penny For A Portrait

A Passion For Painting

There's No Such Thing As Profit

With Life Still Remaining

Paint Your Glorious Work

Upon The Walls Of Your Casket

Your Name They May Remember

Your Art They'll Never Forget

But Only When We've Passed Away

Will We Be Recognized

They'll Sit And Ponder The Reasons

They Never Realized

Famous At Last

You Lie Within Your Grave

Once An Outcast

It's Your Art They Now Save

If I Write A Million Miles

Would My Thoughts Run Out Of Ink

My Paperwork Lies In Piles

I Break For A Drink

No Finance , No obligation

I'm Writing All The Time

Talent Holds No Known Destination

I Am The Reason For The Rhyme

Dying To Be Read

Is This The Price I Must Pay

Upon My Death Bed

Or Within My Grave

Must I Be Ignored

Until The Day After I Die

Life Can We Afford

If All We Work For Is Denied

Could My Words Ever Touch You

As They've Touched This Empty Page

Will My Words Ever Touch You

While I Have An Empty Grave

Dying To Be Read

Today The Price Is Paid

This , The Day I'm Dead

My Words Shall Have It Made

I'm A Painter Of Words

Is It For Words I Live

I'm Dying To Be Read

To You These Words I Give........
