No Matter (to you)

No matter how far
or fast that you run
you won't escape ever
to us what you've done
No matter where you go
which road down you veer
you won't elude ever
the truth that you fear
No matter what you do
at your end you'll find
the lives that you ruined
loves you undermined
No matter how heartless
your thoughts in your head
what you've done haunts you 'till
you're in your grave dead
No matter when you die
your rest will be brief
to the Lord you'll explain
why you caused such grief
No matter it wasn't
your foes that you slew
it was to your loved ones
you've done these things to
Beg now for forgiveness
time to change your fate
wait 'till resurrection
it will be too late*

Dreams and Nightmares (of you)

In dreams where you hate me
those dreams I less fear
so glad when I wake up
awake the truth's clear
In nightmares you love me
I rise to such grief
false hope nightmares give me
wake to no relief
In dreams you are angry
at me and our life
relieved when I wake up
from these dreams of strife
In nightmares you always
for me, love, still care
nightmares I can deal with
with dreams I don't dare
In nightmares or sweet dreams
of you neither fair
in nightmares you love me
in dreams live despair
One day I won't wake up
life to me won't give
in dreams with you always
in love with you live
- 2012 -

Oh dearest -
the agony of losing your love
is such a bottomless pit of despair
I couldn't bear this suffering
if I didn't love you

Higher Ground (Stevie Wonder)

People, keep on learning
Soldiers, keep on warring
World, keep on turning
'cause it won't be too long
Powers, keep on lying
while your people
keep on dying
World, keep on turning
'cause it won't be too long
I'm so darned glad He let me try it again
'cause my last time on earth
I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on trying
'till I reach the higher ground
Teachers, keep on teaching
Preachers, keep on preaching
World, keep on turning
'cause it won't be too long
Oh no
Lovers, keep on loving
Believers, keep on believing
Sleepers, just stop sleeping
'cause it won't be too long
I'm so glad He let me try it again
'cause my last time on Earth
I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad I know more that I knew then
Gonna keep on trying
'till I reach the higher ground
Whew!
'till I reach the higher ground
No one's gonna bring me down
Oh no
'till I reach the higher ground
Don't let nobody bring you down
(They'll sho 'nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
He's the only friend you'll have around

Taboo (Santana 3)

I lay not sleeping
don't know what to do
lay out in waiting
Lord for the noon
Pass so slowly
time without you
I can't see why
my open eyes can't see
so much to look by
so many things to be
Can't keep looking
in and out of me
She looks at nothing
someone you all have seen
she never cried
as I watched her leave
Try to help me
find the change in me
Oh, oh, oh
try to help me
find the change in me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Santana's first three albums are masterpieces
They are easily one of America's greatest bands

I speak of many things I have born in pain,
So many gifts perfected by my persecutions
No matter my state of emotional distress
I give you the gifts of my many bereavements
And the endowments of my unfulfillments
But know also the heights of the purest of joy
I will endure for you the gifts I leave you
I will bear their crushing burdensome weight
I leave you with my unconditional love truly,
Touched by the Divine, our eternal friendship

New friends do inspire me...lol

I loved someone once, who did so much to me.
Destroyed our lives, brought so much misery
I just can't forget, but forgive him I truly must
His destruction was silent, the pain was unjust
He is as he always is, still centered of oneself
I go forward in forgiveness, I needed the help
Releasing the anger, turmoil, loathing and strife
God in his wisdom, sowed in me, seeds of new life
Love with out expectation, love in its truest form
Has swallowed me up, as a new being I am born
I progress daily in a loving state, relearning love
Not born of the earth, but from the heavens above
Prayers for the broken one who wrongfully used me
Prayers for the hatred and sickness that kilt me
God raised me up to a splendid life worth living
Know that I was transformed by a heart forgiving
God forbid, my past love, to die and live in torment
But to experience Gods greatest Commandment




Love is Gods greatest commandment...unconditional and with out expectation. Sounds impossible doesn't it?

The Two Great Commandments -
Love God first in all things
Love your brother/sister as you love yourself

All the law is encompassed in these gifts

God bless, keep and empower you
to get through this life saved from the curse
of selfishness, self-centeredness
and all the Godless sins the world afflicts us with

Keep your heart and eyes on Jesus
He is the only road to Eternal Life

Hunger Fuss

You 'haves' have your fate
you do what you must
we don't want the whole pie
just give us the crust
We don't want to rob you
you should learn to give
the crumbs from your table
'have nots' need to live
We suffer in silence
from you hate to beg
we don't crave for caviar
or posh wine from your keg
We do not want your home
your things or vain wife
we just need the basics
as we cling to life
You see it as down-size
we tighten our belt
but you've never suffered
this pain that we've felt
It is of necessity
we now make this 'fuss'
what you call austerity
is starvation for us

Thank You Love Note

I just want to thank you, girl
you made me feel so good
you said such sweet, kind words to me
felt like a lover should
We will look deep in our eyes
a glimpse of peace and calm
I will softly kiss your hand
not on it's back but palm
You will know just how I feel
honest right from the start
we will let each other know
what's so deep in our hearts
We will see each other clear
with vision from above
we will show each other, dear
that we can still give love
We will sew the seeds of hope
harvest the joy we find
be right before God with our lives
be pure in heart and mind
If we love and it deepens
we melt as one in life
if perfect and we married
husband and happy wife
I know God blesses true love
we'll live no other way
we'll treat each other as holy
love with our all each day (and night)

Lip Smear

I want to pull you close to me
right hand wrapped 'round your back
to gaze so deep within your eyes
for me, nothing you lack
Left hand slides up so tenderly
the back side of your neck
you feel so good a fit with me
like puzzle parts - perfect!
Before our mouths begin to meet
we say 'sweetheart' and 'dear'
and as we kiss so passionate
your lipstick our lips smear
One thing that starts to bother me
think it bothers you, too
please let's get out of these clothes
Love to each other do

When do you feel if love is true
Do you give it a day or two
Loves of the recent and late past
Felt warm and real, but didn't last
Virtuous love, when the hearts meet
Will last forever, if tender and sweet
Savor these moments and truly care
Maybe you will find they aren't there
Time is the essence and test of love
If it is indeed blessed from above
Keep everything within its place
Because love is a journey, not a race
Love is conceived in moments spent
In a single tangible forever moment
Loves life is conceived when love is true
When two hearts are melded and renewed
No deception, only truth and peace
No lies, only honest love and integrity
The truth of love is a story told
Best by the one whose heart you hold
The heart of Christ, is the one we share
Our common love, hope and prayer
He is made manifest in our daily lives
Wives love your husbands, husbands, your wives
I could not be with you, or you with me
If it were not Christs love that we seek
His love without condition and expectation
The healing of hearts and even our nation
The union of hearts that understand
What it truly means, what love commands
Love each other as Christ loves you
There is nothing His love can't do

There are precious few that truly understand what real love is. It is unselfish. It is kind. It is everything that your heart desires, if we truly understand. The teaching of such love is lost upon many, hence the divorce rate for our country and now the global community. We have become lax with what is real and cast aside that which is good to seek out selfish wants, desires and erotic fulfillments. To lose love for such things is an abomination to the heart and to our Creator, who created us for something so much better than what we have right now. If we could restore unconditional love to the masses...we would have an unbelievable world.

Lamb (not goat)

Don't be fooled by some magic man
some false prophet from unholy clan
for Christ only in light we stand
don't believe in some also-ran
Fake prince of peace - not lamb but goat
won't save your life - just cut your throat
he won't spare you - of this take note
can't save your soul - satan will gloat
God said that Christ we should move toward
commit no sins you can't afford
live Love and Truth for your reward
choose Life not death - follow the Lord

Love Killers Reward

Let's live a life
of Love and Joy
in spite of what 'they've' done
Let those who hurt us
have their hell
enjoy their short-lived fun
Let them have
their loveless life
for them it ends so fast
They will regret
how they hurt us
to Love became outcasts
If they had read
what God has said
could have escaped the curse
But they embraced
their selfish selves
their fate could not be worse
One day victims
of their love crimes
will breathe unending breath
And those who killed
our love for them
burn in eternal death
- 2012 -

Do you think you'll escape?
Do you think you'll get away
with all the pain and suffering
you caused to those who loved you?
YOU'D BETTER THINK AGAIN!

my dear fish friends,
please forgive my rough tone lately,
but even we christians get a little P.O.ed at times

Rump Roast (azz toast)

Stick your austerity
up your friggin' azz
I'd fart in your face
if I had extra gas
You'd care for us humans
if you had any class
into bleak extinction
you and yours will pass
You heartless right-wingers
are neanderthals
hope you and those like you
in sh!tholes will fall
For sub-human stupids
you sure have some gall
we'd reason things out
if your brains worked at all
I'll be so amused
won't try to pretend
when the Greater Power
reams you in your end
Your crimes reach to heaven
the Lord you offend
you will have your rump roast
azz in hell descends
- 2012 -

Austerity doesn't work -
only the opposite does!
And ain't it funny how even anger
can be twisted into creative hilarity

Untwisting Twisted Love

Maniacal misfit
love I forgave
to yourself only faithful
traded love for the grave
Your mind is anemic
your thoughts are impure
your brain isn't normal
yourself you can't cure
You can't see what you do
or feel pain you cause
think you're aligned with God
while you break His Laws
You were dead to living
when love to you came
for love you've been given
you should bless God's Name
You should fall on your knees
ask the Lord 'forgive'
for love that you destroyed
pray God lets you live
You must turn from your ways
the self that you serve
to acknowledge the love
you didn't deserve

Love Enough

In me I don't
have one bone mean
this love rarely
in others seen
Of good and bad
won't go between
no psychopath
don't do that scene
A girl who cares
I love the most
my love's alive
I can't love ghost
Not proud but fair
I do not boast
to hell not drawn
don't want to roast
My life and love
I'll give to you
love you as deep
as you want to
After the trials
that we've been through
we all should know
what we should do
We who've been burned
have had it tough
this loveless world
on us is rough
We who have learned
to call hate's bluff
life without love
is no enough

Hatred Caged

Dastardly dimwitted
with retarded raves
your right-winger thinking
will dig your own graves
You see us as easy
think we'll be your slaves
with your 'neander' thoughts
you should still be in caves
The hatred you're breeding
will come back in waves
the wars you are waging
a road to hell paves
Your acts we should throttle
cut short your sick rage
throw hatred in prison
keep hate in a cage
Our ways should be peaceful
with love should engage
hate pisses the Lord off
wars will God enrage
Believe in the Good Book
read it page by page
peace soon comes a thousand
years of a new age

Bright Light ( for her I admire)

You are such a sweetheart
it's so plain to see
you are a great lover
it's so clear to me
Between us far distance
geographically
but I will still love you
be it remotely
Your light is so shining
like our sun above
I envy the man that
with whom you're in love
And though worlds and cultures
between us may be
you'll always be someone
who is love to me

Vain Beauty

A passion for beauty?
I've been there - done that!
Beauty can be so vain
in that seat I've sat
Beware of self-lovers
brewing poison vat
beauty more loves itself
can be such a brat
Beauty, when self-centered,
won't know how to give
it doesn't love others
loves itself to live
A self-loving lover
is so abusive
to try to love others
they're so resistive
The one that they love most
in their mirror they fall
they love no one outside
of their mirror at all
Truth is that their mirror
that they see as friend
one day reflects ugly
image they'll hate at end
- 2012 -

Get out of your mirror
get out of yourself
and learn that love means giving and not taking

just because of my mood

Love's Dream Awakening

I wish, so much, that you could feel
how vast is the depth of my love
how deep is the ocean that I feel for you
it's awesome emotions, thereof
In this garden of life I have wandered
through it's flowers my mind and hopes weaved
with all my feelings and senses
you're most beautiful I've ever perceived
How eternal and lovely your splendor
when you graciously glimpse in my eyes
overwhelmed, swept away - in one moment
my heart has breathed millions of sighs
All my life towards your heart I've been driven
'till I found raptures meaning in your eyes
all these years I've kept my love hidden
a veiled love I'll no longer disguise
Oh, dearest, for so long I've been sleeping
now it seems your my dream that's come true
in my slumber it's your love I've been keeping
now, finally, I've awakened to you

Conspire to Fire

These new freedoms threaten
'leaders' at us frown
paranoid they've decided
to shut our world down
With wars they'll control us
kill all that they can
reduce us to fractions
part of their sick plan
They legalize murders
in all things they do
to cling to their power
liquidate me and you
Label poor 'terrorist'
by laws don't abide
brand have-nots as losers
while their crimes they hide
They drop bombs from heaven
while on high they hide
they're using our soldiers
to commit genocide
But whatever they do
how well they conspire
the Lord said He'll stop them
drop evil in fire
- 2012 -

Remember God's Laws -
Love unconditionally - even your enemies
What must be will be
so The Lord God can bring His Great Healing
and relief from all this suffering
to this world and all of us who believe

First line from 'first line, last line (WeAre1)

Keep coming back
for more of you
as a moth to flame
so natural to do
Though I may be burned
to you I'll be true
real love must be earned
I'll risk fire for you

My 64th is coming up on March 3rd -
Thought I'd play with Neil Young's 'Old Man'

Young Man (based on Neil Young's 'Old Man'

Young man* look at my life
I was once like you are
young man, look at my life
I was once like you are
Young man, look at my life
64 and there's not much more
I will soon go through death's door
someday you'll be old, too
Love lost at such a cost
search for love that won't get lost
like a coin that won't get tossed
she'll always be with you
Young man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true
Lullabies, look in your eyes
covering the same old ground
nothing new there to be found
no love is there for you
I was first and you'll be last
look at how the time goes past
don't end up alone at last
love with someone do
Young man, look at my life
I was once like you are
young man, look at my life
I was once like you are
