The Heavy Rain
the heavy rain makes you stop
and you knock on my door
and i open it, and then we
talk about a lot of things about
us, our family, our lands and
ways of surviving the hardships
of this present day life, i offer
you coffee and cookies and
we talk some more about
the future, politics and economics
and religion and philosophy and
poetry. And then the rain stops.
the conversation ends. You
say thank you.You are leaving
now. You are like the rain.
I am like the door. We are
like the conversations. And
we know when to stop and
where to begin again. It is

The Mind Of A Crazy Person
“Your asking me to be in the mind
of a crazy person”,
my friend did reply,
I can tell you this,
and here is why.
They are definetly
a waste of time.
Also, I don’t think I want to know,
these people live with made up foes,
Foes in their mind that they
Rant and rave to,
they have no clue.
They are crazy,
but they make you think,
they don’t need a shrink.
Giving you a pretty image
of all their made up lies,
giving their story more life.
So your answer to your
question is plain to see,

Blood and Fire
Think as our Church used to stand the corner of the street,
As you could hear the band and the congregation and homeless meet.
The Corps Officer would preach and go out his way,
To help anyone wanting to go on bended knee to pray
.
Hearing the sounds of them say 'Why, why, why,
Did my Father Jesus have to die? '
As the tears were dried up by the end of the night,
And do to this is why everyone could now see the Light.
Thinking of this is why The Salvation Army is my desire,
And this is why I love the Blood and the Fire.

Unripe Apples Fall
Unripe apples fall
and lie wasting on the ground,
spots spreading into brown,
circles, decaying, waiting
for sun and time to gently take
seminal seeds into the warm earth.
Small birds fall
down low
from their high, swaying tree,
to where patient
fallen apples
melt and glow.
Two looming hawks rise
waiting for the time to be right,
to turn their dark wings
and with swift silent stroke
give feathered death
to these surprised souls,

The Rainbow comes after the rain
take me long to a daylight walk,
with every sweat
fall under my knee and cease me nothing
than a whisper of the wind,
for i shall then hold my teardrop
kiss my hand of cool quizzed of cobbler
hunter fool
chances come in forces of dust and drag
every moist to lead of what
is meant to be one in you Lord as you fire me
always in your
great wisdom and focus the
sweeten haven in the quest of your
own heart
let me become the paradigm shift
of what the end
begin to dusk and find what brings my day
comes a lasting remark of your

Mcgimn Sonata
Mother dearest
You live inside of my heart
And inside my heart I made a special place, just for you
So that you could live inside of my heart and be left in peace
Mother dearest
You don't have to worry about pollution and violence
Because there is no pollution or violence inside of my
Heart
Mother dearest
You are now an angel with wings
And inside of my heart you can fly
Mother dearest
Inside of my heart
I created a garden for you so that you could smell the flowers any time That you like
Mother dearest
You can sleep near that pond there
Because near the pond it is always cooler than in the garden
Mother dearest
I forgot to tell you about the sky inside of my heart
In that sky you will see stars that

Wrong Choices
When after a drink or two
You take a Harley ride,
This one thing is very true -
You are asking for Suicide.
When all your life you smoked
And you find your lungs are aching,
If you do not get a Stroke -
It's from Cancer you'll be dying.
When you're not due for surgery
But you ask for Anesthesia,
Well, the end is a certainty -
Your family will be grieving for you..
The lifestyles that you take
Eventually lead to your exit -
Health issues you forsake
Later clicks your life to 'Delete'.

Muse
Sparks happen inside his head.
My hand leaves his heart and a jolt of inspiration vibrates through his body.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
Three shocks happen and he lights up his paper with words.
He writes his poetry and inspires many.
Little does anyone know that I am his muse lighting up his fire.

Barefoot Days
In the morning, very early,
That's the time I love to go
Barefoot where the fern grows curly
And grass is cool between each toe,
On a summer morning-O!
On a summer morning!
That is when the birds go by
Up the sunny slopes of air,
And each rose has a butterfly
Or a golden bee to wear;
And I am glad in every toe
Such a summer morning-O!
Such a summer morning!
