| Are You Strong Enough to Live Posted: 3/28/2008 11:04:39 PM | **** I'm just gonna post some of my favorite song lyrics.****
The Red Hot Chili Peppers
"I could have lied"
There must be something In the way I feel That she don't want me to feel The stare she bares cut me I don't care You see so what if I bleed
I could never change Just what I feel My face will never show What is not real
A mountain never seems to have The need to speak A look that shares so many seek The sweetest feeling I got from you The things I said to you were true
I could never change Just what I feel My face will never show What is not real
[chorus] I could have lied I'm such a fool My eyes could never never never Keep their cool Showed her and I told her how She struck me but I'm ****ed up now
But now she's gone yes she's gone away A soulful song That would not stay You see she hides 'cause she is scared But I don't care I won't be spared
(repeat chorus part x 2) | |

"Flesh And Blood"
Beside a Singin' Mountain Stream Where the Willow grew
Where the Silver Leaf of Maple Sparkled in the Mornin' Dew I braided Twigs of Willows Made a String of Buckeye Beads; But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood And you're the one I need Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood And you're the one I need.
I leaned against a Bark of Birch And I breathed the Honey Dew I saw a North-bound Flock of Geese Against a Sky of Baby Blue Beside the Lily Pads I carved a Whistle from a Reed; Mother Nature's quite a Lady But you're the one I need Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood And you're the one I need.
A Cardinal sang just for me And I thanked him for the Song Then the Sun went slowly down the West And I had to move along These were some of the things
On which my Mind and Spirit feed; But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood And you're the one I need Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood And you're the one I need.
[SPOKEN]
So when this Day was ended I was still not satisfied For I knew ev'rything I touched Would wither and would die And Love is all that will remain And grow from all these Seed;
[SUNG]
Mother Nature's quite a Lady But you're the one I need Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood And you're the one I need. | |

"Unforgiven"
New blood joins this earth And quikly hes subdued Through constant pain disgrace The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in This whipping boy done wrong Deprived of all his thoughts The young man struggles on and on hes known A vow unto his own That never from this day His will theyll take away
What Ive felt What Ive known Never shined through in what Ive shown Never be Never see Wont see what might have been
What Ive felt What Ive known Never shined through in what Ive shown Never free Never me So I dub the unforgiven
They dedicate their lives To running all of his He tries to please them all This bitter man he is Throughout his life the same Hes battled constantly This fight he cannot win A tired man they see no longer cares The old man then prepares To die regretfully That old man here is me
What Ive felt What Ive known Never shined through in what Ive shown Never be Never see Wont see what might have been
What Ive felt What Ive known Never shined through in what Ive shown Never free Never me So I dub the unforgiven
You labeled me Ill label you So I dub the unforgiven | |

"Nothing else matters"
So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are and nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say and nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do never cared for what they know but I know
So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do never cared for what they know but I know
Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us, something new Open mind for a different view and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say never cared for games they play never cared for what they do never cared for what they know and I know
So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are No, nothing else matters | |

"Sweet child o mine"
She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything Was as fresh as the bright blue sky Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I'd stare too long I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I hate to look into those eyes And see an ounce of pain Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place Where as a child I'd hide And pray for the thunder And the rain To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine
Where do we go Where do we go now Where do we go Sweet child o' mine | |

"November Rain"
November Rain
When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained But darlin' when I hold you Don't you know I feel the same 'Cause nothin' lasts forever And we both know hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain We've been through this such a long long time Just tryin' to kill the pain But lovers always come and lovers always go An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today Walking away If we could take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head Just knowin' that you were mine All mine So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain
Do you need some time...on your own Do you need some time...all alone Everybody needs some time...on their own Don't you know you need some time...all alone I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time...on my own Sometimes I need some time...all alone Everybody needs some time...on their own Don't you know you need some time...all alone
And when your fears subside And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh I know that you can love me When there's no one left to blame So never mind the darkness We still can find a way 'Cause nothin' lasts forever Even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you need somebody Don't ya think that you need someone Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one You're not the only one | |

"I'm No Stranger To The Rain"
I'm no stranger to the rain I'm a friend of thunder Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me I've fought with the devil Got down on his level But I never gave in, so he gave up on me
I'm no stranger to the rain I can spot bad weather And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour I've been sacrificed by brothers Crucified by lovers But through it all I withstood the pain I'm no stranger to the rain
But when I get that foggy feeling When I'm feeling down If I don't keep my head up, I may drown But it's hard to keep believing I'll even come out even While the rain beats your hope in the ground And tonight it's really coming down
I'm no stranger to the rain But there'll always be tomorrow And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine And I'll put this cloud behind me That's how the Man designed me To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane I'm no stranger to the rain
Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm no stranger to the rain I'm a friend of thunder Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me But I'll put this cloud behind me That's how the Man designed me To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane I'm no stranger to the rain
Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain | |

| Are You Strong Enough to Live Posted: 3/29/2008 8:48:53 PM | Caught between being lonely And the love for my son Trying to do what's best for him As the needs in life I shun These nights can be torture As the memories remain Of someone long forgotten Left alone in the freezing rain December tears are ice droplets That fall upon my heart The skies are dark and sunless Now that the rainclouds drift apart I raise my eyes into the heavens But I will not question why As I listen to him call me dad And look into his loving eyes I can shed lonely tears at night As he lays his head to sleep And I can lie to myself As I mend these wounds so deep But sometimes it is difficult As I try to pretend I'm not a man I wipe my eyes and try to smile And be the very best dad I can | |

And thanks for posting one of my favorite songs. And yes, I did muse off of the song. LOL LOL I hope that you shall feel welcomed to visit and share your words again.
Kicked me like a dog While I was on the ground Perhaps it would be easier To make not a single sound
Perhaps it would be easier To turn the other cheek Perhaps it would be easier If I pretend that I am weak
But kick me again I kinda like the pain Insult me again I like the taste of rain
Torture me again It's time that I do rise There's no need to be shocked Or act like you're surprised
Kryptonite doesn't work on me I'm not a Superman He finally met his match And proudly I do stand | |

I met you before the fall of Rome and I begged you to let me take you home
You were wrong, I was right You said goodbye, I said goodnight
It's all been done It's all been done It's all been done before
I knew you before the west was won and I heard you say the past was much more fun You go your way, I go mine but I'll see you next time
It's all been done It's all been done It's all been done before
And if I put my fingers here, and if I say "I love you, dear" And if I play the same three chords, Will you just yawn and say
It's all been done It's all been done It's all been done before
Alone and bored on a 30th century night. Will I see you on the price is right? Will I cry? Will I smile? As you run down the aisle.
It's all been done It's all been done It's all been done before

"Sunday Morning Coming Down"
Well, I woke up Sunday morning With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, So I had one more for dessert. Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes And found my cleanest dirty shirt. Then I washed my face and combed my hair And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.
I'd smoked my mind the night before With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking. But I lit my first and watched a small kid Playing with a can that he was kicking. Then I walked across the street And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken. And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost Somewhere, somehow along the way.
On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying That's half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down.
In the park I saw a daddy With a laughing little girl that he was swinging. And I stopped beside a Sunday school And listened to the songs they were singing. Then I headed down the street, And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing, And it echoed through the canyon Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.
On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying That's half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down. | |

"Man In Black"
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black, Why you never see bright colors on my back, And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone. Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, But is there because he's a victim of the times.
I wear the black for those who never read, Or listened to the words that Jesus said, About the road to happiness through love and charity, Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.
Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose, In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes, But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back, Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.
I wear it for the sick and lonely old, For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold, I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been, Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.
And, I wear it for the thousands who have died, Believen' that the Lord was on their side, I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died, Believen' that we all were on their side.
Well, there's things that never will be right I know, And things need changin' everywhere you go, But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right, You'll never see me wear a suit of white.
Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day, And tell the world that everything's OK, But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back, 'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black. | |

| Are You Strong Enough to Live Posted: 3/30/2008 12:22:40 PM | I look back at a time in life When Johnny Cash was the only friend I had And I knew the loneliness in his voice And the feelings within a soul that were so sad
Hours listening to "Ring of Fire" "If I were a carpenter" and "A boy named Sue" Lost in the emptiness of a broken heart But what else was there for a lonely child to do
Blackened memories from days gone by Of things that very few could ever know And Johnny was there to hold the light Regardless of the direction that my life did go
I love my son with all my heart And laugh, pick, and play for him to know I care And will take the time to answer questions And listen to all the things he thinks and shares
And he touches my heart so very much And my time with him I really am so very glad And I hope that he never hears in Johnny's voice Of a tortured soul that is so sad | |

| Are You Strong Enough to Live Posted: 3/31/2008 1:39:54 AM | Heya :)Ive enjoyed perusing the latest writes/musical contributions in your oh so spiffy poetry corner.I hope all is nifty my friend Im in the mood to do a bit of spontaneous poetry writing so here goes..love ya bunches,Kat
Shadows minuette upon irridescant placid waters Memorys float ashore not imprisioned any longer Held captive in the moment of a whistling swans song With prima ballerina elegance the night it waltzes on Basking in the decadence of summers nectar sweetness Drinking in the golden honey in hopes that time wont see us And steal our song away..as the moon melts on horizon The melody reminds us,to let our inner children out to play | |

***on edit*** Hey my dear Spiffy Friend .... It is so great to see you and have you drop by for a visit. I hope all is well for you. Thanks for sharing your poem. I always love to read them. Have a great night. Love you bunches .... hugs .... JD
Honestly, times like these I kinda wish I was a child or never even born I feel like I'm in a nightmare And my soul is just so tired and badly worn
I'm stuck so far in a ditch A blanket of fresh dirt looks kinda pleasing Laughs as things are not that bad yet That was really just a joke and I was only teasing
I should light me up a cigarette And drink me another round of beer Except I don't drink or smoke I guess my only bad habit is to write and post too many poems right here
So as I clear my mind from a day of sickness And wonder what the future holds for me I guess I need to go see if what I have is cancer And if so beg the Lord twelve more years to let me be
I guess I'm really scared to death And trying to find a reason just to smile Because I have so many plans for my son That I have been planning and dreaming all the while
And teardrops fall down from my eyes As I imagine what his life would be like without me And those are the thoughts that bring nightmares When I try to sleep for they are the dreams I see
I guess I'll try to sleep once more Maybe take me ibuprofen for some rest And pray to the good Lord above And believe that He really knows what is for the best | |

| Are You Strong Enough to Live Posted: 3/31/2008 10:41:59 AM | SpiffyKat --- You know I love to pick and play, laugh, and joke around, but at this moment in my life and yes, this is a very serious moment dealing with things I would not ever joke about. And the seriousness of this moment and the possibilities of what if regarding tomorrow, I just want to share something with you from my heart. You are truly the very best friend that I have ever had and without question I will always love you and you will always be in my heart and have a very special part of it. And from the very bottom of my heart, I want to say with all sincerity thank-you for being not only my friend, but someone that I will always love, admire, and respect. So I want to dedicate this song to you with the truest hopes that you do know exactly what it has meant and does mean having you as a friend. I do love you and hope that you will always know that. Have a great day. Love you bunches .... JD

"If Tomorrow never Comes"
Sometimes late at night I lie awake and watch her sleeping Shes lost in peaceful dreams So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark And the thought crosses my mind If I never wake up in the morning Would she ever doubt the way I feel About her in my heart
(chorus)
If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That shes my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face the world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes cause Ive lost loved ones in my life Who never knew how much I loved them Now I live with the regret That my true feelings for them never were revealed So I made a promise to myself To say each day how much she means to me And avoid that circumstance Where theres no second chance to tell her how I feel
*chorus*
So tell that someone that you love Just what you're thinking of If tomorrow never comes | |

Most always there is hospitality, respect, and kindness shown by those that stop by to visit. I hope that you shall feel welcomed to visit again.
***As a poem, I don't know how these words sound. But with a Red Hot Chili Peppers slight funky rhythm they sound pretty good.***
My hands could never be ones that craft Paper walls around my heart does fail My eyes could never say they are blind For I've been so long under her spell My ears could never say they are deaf Her heart's sweetest song I hear My heart can never say it doesn't feel Because it holds her close and oh so dear My mouth can never say it always lies For these words it speaks are so true The truth can always be just and right For I mean it when I say that I love you | |

| Are You Strong Enough to Bleed ..... and Love Posted: 3/31/2008 8:56:16 PM | Hi J.D.:
Your profile picture suggests the caption, Your Son saying "Dad Rules!". An inspiration breif is presented...( Incidently, enjoyed your post tribute to Mr John R Cash, as I do all your writings...often blow the harp myself)
That's My Dad! He's here I say! Plays guitar and watches me play! Knocked it outta' the freakin' park! 'Twas My Dad gave the LOUDEST lark!
That's My Dad, an' never doubt it! Stood beside me when teachers flouted Unsnagged my fishin line when tangled Taught me sit still when suited fanagled.
That's MY Dad! He's always here! Plays guitar and sings to spirit freer! Content an' proud with sleepy head Rest assured content in dream bed.
My Dad Rocks an' knows to thro' ball My Dad defeated stupid monstors all My Dad........little man sleeps restfully.. dad turns out light.....smiles contentedly.
Respectful regards, JD. | |
