As I reflect on the last 30 years
Biting my lip to hold back the tears
Try to discover the source of my fears
Wondering how did this happen to me
Gaze into a mirror and what do . . .

Starting Over
If I could start over,
What would I omit?
Would there be room for mistakes,
Or wouldn’t they fit?
If I could start over,
What would I leave out?
The pain and the . . .

Hello there, my friend
I can tell you’re upset
How poorly you’ve coped
You will soon regret
Emotions run strong
Heavy burdens you’ve carried; . . .

At the onset of evening I light a candle
Which makes my house feel more like a home
And sit back in my favorite chair
With my faithful dog curled before the hearth
Pictures . . .

My Song
The music of my heart
Beats like a drum
An ongoing work of art
Always play my part
As a guitar pick does thrum
The music of my heart
When did this symphony start? . . .

My worldly possessions, be they grand or quite small
I would be more than willing to part with it all
The treasures I've hoarded no matter their cost
I'd gladly . . .

Often given yet rarely returned
Is the passion for love that has burned
As hearts and emotions go askew
Too often our efforts in vain
When lovers bring nothing but pain
Yet again and again . . .

Even though we were told it was sin
You knew of the problems it could bring our way
Yet we longed for it all night and day
You knew what we’d . . .

I saw her from behind, from afar
Her gentle curves defining feminine beauty
That glittering green dress flowing over her form;
A silken stream cascading over polished ivory

Dearly Departed
What does one do when a loved one has passed
When it feels as though all in your life has just crashed
Do you lock yourself up holding in all your grief
Or embrace those . . .

Waitress asked me "you know whatcha want?"
A burger; well done

Outlawed by In-laws
Their kitty has not been de-clawed
From her scratches, my face is now flawed
Their cat’s out of the bag
That feline scalawag
By my in-laws I have been outlawed! . . .

The one whom no one can control
Whose wisdom he gains from a scroll
You may think him tragic
He wields mighty magick
The wizard they call DragonSoul . . .
