Traveling On

Traveling on

(Poetry Form)

The days go by as I lay here in sorrow
Wondering to myself, will I see tomorrow
I’m looking for love, a woman to hold
Nights are so empty, in my bed I’m so cold

My woman is out there, she is one of a kind
That beauty seems so hard to find
People don’t understand why I live this way
I believe in my heart I will have her someday

I am traveling on from city to city
Living a life in hell as it seems
Never seem to be happy anymore
In this world of broken dreams

When I took off and left from Memphis
I left the love of my life behind
I took the chance of being alone
She’s waiting there, she’s forever mine

We’ve kept in touch as the months go by
Looks like our love shall never fade
How could our love be so strong
Seems it grows stronger every day

When I left, there were brief goodbyes
The loneliness was enough punishment
Now I want to return to her heart
I told her this would not be permanent

Many a night, I’ve cried on the phone
Waiting to be in her arms again
I understand what I did was wrong
She’s got to forgive so we can begin

Begin mending these broken hearts
Putting pieces together of shattered souls
Lets forgive and then we can forget
We’ll be together as we both grow old…

Fade Away

Fade away

(Poetry Form)

When I’m sitting at home alone
I often start thinking of you
At times I can’t believe myself
I’ve lost a love that could have been so true

The day that we first met
I was the happiest guy around
But times do change you know
That does nothing but bring me down

Was it love or lust that we shared
I guess we will never know
The last thing I wanted to hear
Was girl that you had to go

Now my life is without you girl
But I can still remember vividly
All I can do is try my best
To make you come back to me

I have tried to go on without you
But I just can’t get very far
Every time I think this love is over
I remember just who you are

It is hard to leave someone you love
One of the hardest things to do
I can’t be with any other woman
When my heart is in love with you

Why do I always think about you
It’s hard to get you out of my mind
Times change but my heart wont lie
Is there a better man you will find

I need a woman that really loves me
That wants me for who I am
Not one that will treat me badly
And proud to claim I am her man…

Time Alone

Time alone

(Poetry Form)

It’s just another day alone
To sit here and wonder why
I’m tired of asking myself
And I can never seem to cry

I guess all the pain and anger
Is buried so far away
I will never really know
Why I am here another day

I’ve gone through some hard times
Many I brought upon myself
When I feel good about something
It’s not always good for my heatlh

So no matter what I try to do
Or what I could be waiting for
I try to make the day with a smile
And then prepare myself for more

More time alone, more time to think
It is enough to drive me wild
So I take a break and catch a thought
And say a prayer for my beautiful child…

My Sweet Love

My sweet love

(Poetry Form/Song)

Sincerely baby I truly love you
Please never leave me alone
All my love goes out to you
My heart and soul is here to be shown

A sweet love you are to me
I’ve never felt this way before
A love romance coming true
I pray you never walk out the door

A true heart in my eyes
I know it’s hard to understand
For years I have loved you so
Now pretty girl I am your man

A dream coming to life
I know I can live my dream
I’ll feel so warm beside you girl
Too good to be true it may seem

Will you love me forever
I will hold you always and after
Together we shall build a world
With our smiles, joy and laughter

Our love could last for eternity
And that’s the way we should feel
Telling you this from the bottom of my heart
Because it’s my heart that you steal

I was a lonely man till I realized
Just what you were to my soul
Without you my dear sweet love
My life was as black as coal

Do you know now what you are to me
You are my happiness and my life
Walk the golden mile with me
Someday I will make you my wife

My love is what you take
Your heart, your soul
Is what I will never break
You are my love
My sweet love…

Long Time Coming

Long time coming

Nothing in this crazy world
Can ever be for sure
I’m not giving up, not letting go
We are here to let you people know

I have got a feeling that is so strong
Taught myself right from wrong
We’ve been up, we’ve been down
We refuse to wear your crown

As some wait, they lie and steal
Waiting for the next big deal
They hide behind sacred ties
So lost and blind they believe their own lies

To the masses, they despise your smile
Some have been there for a while
Some pray and some shed terror
Some will hide until they make an error

Now don’t you see how it is
And how it feels
To be crucified
And born to kill…

Don't Get Left Behind

Don’t get left behind

Seemingly so, I have the right
To say what I want to say
If you can’t take the pain
Then don’t bother to play

I’ve had enough of your lies
And I don’t really care
When you come to me after you’re hurt
Remember I’m not always fair

It’s not funny when you’re in it for the money
I can’t always be kind
It’s not cool to always be the fool
So don’t get left behind…

Upon Our Return

Upon Our Return

(Poetry Form)

Saying goodbye to the life we leave behind

Our fate is in now a soldiers hands

Embarking on a lonely journey

Across the seas to distant lands

Our faith is strong we shouldn't go wrong

To reach our destination through the fields

We vow to conquer thy enemies at last

We pray to God as we shine our shields

If we reach the mountains and cliffs so high

Through the valleys we shall taste the glory

We may lose many but without victory

No one will carry on our divine story

So as we prepare for battle we keep our spirits

We know some are to die but we shall win

Only if Gods Guidance and Eternal Divinity

Will send our heroes home once again...

Knowing is Believing

Knowing Is Believing

(Poetry Form)

Your choices on this earth
Will lead you to the other side
You must know right from wrong
And having nothing evil to hide

From the powers invested in me
I judge and learn my lessons
In my belief my God hears every word
One on One are my only confessions

In the eyes of our youth it is wrong
To boast proudly about your sin
The innocent is learning to know
Where to stop and where to begin

I have a mission, so you understand
To teach what I know is right
And to be among those so different
I must take aim and keep site

I'll never let them bring me down
Unless in a blaze of glory
Until they truly know me from within
I must continue with my story

I've a strong faith in my Gods above
I dream, think and pray of the power
When times get tough, I am strong
I recover from it hour after hour

To think of Divinity and Peacefulness
You may have to set aside or readjust
To fight the stronger evil I will
And to please my Gods is a must

Preparing for the other side I am
To carry on a tradition of the Corps
My masters once told me a time ago
I will be gaurding Heavens door

So my choice?, I speak my thoughts
It is wrong to mislead and to betray
Those that deny your Gods before man
May not live to die another day

Noone is guaranteed time in your heaven
Without a concious effort to serve
You must know your friends from foes
And you've got to have the nerve

Knowing is Believing
Be strong for your Gods
No matter how different
No matter the odds

The Other Cheek

The other cheek

(Poetry)

To lead or to follow and to remember tomorrow
The jealous and the lost will try to bring me down
Because of who I am and what I've done
I've got the right to claim my own crown

People come and go not having the guts to better themselves
But they hate and betray wallowing in their pity
Some people can't be helped so begone from me
For I am a great man and always will be

To be honest and sincere, a leader to many
I will always remember your loyalty and trust
But those that talk behind my back are fools
And shunning them away is a God given must

A good judge of character, for I have lived a while
I know who they are now and I am not afraid
To speak my mind and know I am a better man
Divinity is not determined by how much you are paid

I am one with God, for he is my only Master
Human trust and the human will is too weak
For those fools that never answer faithfully
The corruption of the evil ones I seek

I seek to destroy them, any way I may
For they call me out, against my will
I will laugh at them all and think to myself
They will feel my wrath in heaven until

Until they realize, I've never lied nor misled
I've done everything to help them along
And to hate me they may, but they will suffer
I will see to it that they will be proven wrong

Take My Love

Take my love

(Poetry Form/Song)

Lucky Lady
Steal my heart from me
Take it to the river
Far away from believing

Lucky Lady
Put a smile on my face
You move with style
And you walk with grace

Precious Baby
You’re my body my soul
Feeling your body beside mine
Is a feeling that wont grow old

Precious Baby
Take a walk with me
You and I being together
Is the way that it should be

Eternal Soul
Forever just you and me
You’re the reason I’m alive
You’re the reason that I bleed

Eternal Soul
Young love lives in silence
Give to me an answer
Please no act of defiance

I found you
So just take my heart
Don’t ask me why
Take my love away…

Pictures Say it All

Pictures say it all

(Poetry Form/Song)

Every mountain that I climb
Every mile that goes by
I am doing this for you
And for me you know why

I’ve got your picture here
And I’ve never needed you so bad
I looked around but I can’t go back
And you’re still looking so sad

The days go by as I hang on to you
Seems this is an endless journey
When I stare into those sad sad eyes
My heart and soul is yearning

If I could only tell you how I feel
You would know it was meant to be
If I could release you from the pain
I could show you the meaning of free

So upon my return, one summer afternoon
You walked into my heart
And when I looked into those eyes
I knew we would never be apart

Now every time I tell you I love you
Every minute that you hold me
Gives me the feeling of compassion
And you woman, are forever my destiny

In closing, woman of my dreams
I’m a lucky man so it seems
To hold a woman like you
And a woman like you to hold someone like me…

Nickles & Dimes

Nickles & Dimes

(Poetry Form)

In my times of trouble
She reached out for my hand
She showed me how to comfort her
As we made a simple plan

We spent some time alone
Talking in our dreams
Connecting with a peace of mind
In this crazy world so it seems

She lifted up my spirits
As we watched the players play
I think she knows how now
She can really make my day

Taking time to be grateful
And thanking her for her touch
I’ve always loved this woman
But I never knew how much

Side by side along I’ll ride
This dark cloud of mystery
Hovering above them all
We can be who we wanna be

I want to take her with me
I want love, listen and learn
I want to give back all the joy
I want to take my turn

I need to explain myself better
I need to say sorry for the deceit
I need to make her feel safe again
I need to get back on my feet

I can’t explain just how much
But I know when it’s right
The passion for one woman
Restored my vision and gave me sight

I’ve been too hard, mean and scary
Surviving on the Streets
Times have changed my love
It’s time for us to meet

I’m loyal and sincere
I’m growing each passing day
I’m striving to be the best
I’m going to make my way

Believe in my wisdom
Believe in my strength
Believe she could be in my arms
Believe I’d go to any length

I would take her away
From any pain and doubt
To our own little heaven
Where no fear would amount

To anything past, present and future
A Peaceful beginning to a never end
As an eternal bond through ever more
She’ll know this message I send

If I can dream a dream
I’ll never be alone
If only I could be this strong
I’d reap the seeds I’ve sown

Forgive me for my hate
Love is on the way
Wait for my masterings
Another song, another day

To be rich with courage
To be wise with youth
To be learning to love again
To be cherished and soothed

Please come back to me
Lets dream another dream
Be happy with who we are
And let our love light gleam

Don’t count me out
Don’t waste God’s love
Don’t worry another day
I’ll wait here up above

Be happy, be proud
Be thankful, be loud
Be strong, be wise
I’m not the other guys

Have faith, have courage
Show pride, don’t hide
Take a leap into the unknown
And harvest now that we’ve grown

Swept Away

Swept away

(Poetry Form)

She kneeled so gracefully into the soiled sand
Gazing into the weakening western skies
Her movements were of an angel from the heavens
I can still feel the pain by the tears that filled her eyes

When there were no more emotions left on her gentle face
I watched her draw a picture in the soiled sand
Then time stood still as she blew a kiss into the cool wind
It was then I took her fragile hand

And she was swept away…

Knight to a King

Knight to a King

(Poetry Form)

As I dream a dream I give her my life

To love and protect for all of eternity

As God as my sight and wisdom
I am given the strength to be set free

Always sharing, giving my everything

To love and to hold her forever with a smile

I cannot live without her much longer

She must know now after all this while

My vision within is God granted

From the strength of Kings I am a Knight

Suttle and Sincere I will carry her with me

As the wings of my glory take flight

Into a world of conquest for peace

Love and honor behold thy Kingdom

A warrior for her greatness untold
And what is untold is the true wisdom

Does she see what I see or is it me

That her eyes are bestowed upon

Does she forgive me of my faults and sin

Will she miss me while I am gone

I am prepared for the story of glory

I will fight to save them and the Queen

My history will not be lost nor forgotten

My inner strength God himself has seen

I believe the grace of yet another day

Will allow me to master thy enemy

To teach and master thy will

Is in our own childrens destiny

For my fate is great beyond this earth

Into the dark realm of another

To bring joy and to bring the light

And to bring us all peace here forever after

For if I ever a King I shall sing

The amazing grace once given to thee

To the Knight of darkness and power

Who has fought all evil to set us all free

My Everything

My everything

(Poetry Form)

Well the seasons do change
As our life passes us by
You are the shine in the sun
And the warmth will make you mine

The summer breeze changes direction
I’m glad it brought you my way
You are the stars of the night
You help me make it through the day

I was in need of a true friend
When you were washed upon the shore
You are the water in the ocean
And it is you I adore

When I was feeling so low down
I was lifted back to my feet
You are the clouds of the sky
I can face victory or defeat

My life needed a direction
You were there to give me light
You are the footprints in the sand
When I was blind you gave me sight

Sometimes my thoughts aren’t so clear
But you always help me decide
You are the blooms of the flowers
You’re there when I need to cry

I was lost in a world of pain
You taught me to relieve the sorrow
You are the blood in the man
And now I can live for tomorrow

When a man has no foundation
You cannot build up from the ground
You are the ivory of the towers
And my life in heaven shall be found

There was a lack of admiration
Then you showed me the whole world
Oh Lord, you are my everything
And I’ll walk through those gates of pearl

You are the shine in the sun
You are the stars of the night
You are the water in the ocean
You are the clouds in the sky

You are the footprints in the sand
You are the blooms of the flowers
You are the blood in the man
You are the ivory of the towers

You are in my everything Lord
The sky
The Ground
And the seven seas…

Kentucky Girl

Kentucky Girl

(Poetry Form/Song)

Following the stars

I think she's found her way

Back home to the bluegrass

To prosper another day

What she knows now

Was shared as in love

She shared a special moment

With the stars up above

From coast to coast

She lives and she learns

Opening her heart

As this big world turns

A little piece of heaven

When she takes my hand

A slave for her mercy

As I work her land

Friends dream with a smile

When the Church bells ring

Along comes the melody

And a rhapsody we shall sing

Forgiveness in our hearts

A future on our mind

Blessed with peace and love

And eternity we shall find

Together with our labors

To maintain our simple ways

We will survive into the new year

And be hopeful of better days

We cannot rest alone

Always together even if apart

We knew there was something special

Right from the very start

As we dream, think and pray

In addition to everything

The spirit in the skies

Has given me another song to sing

Thank you Miss Bluegrass

Thank you for the inspiration

Thank you for your wisdom

You've got my dedication

No matter what comes of this

We shall never forget the time

We shared our hearts with love

And was joy you brought to mine...

December Rain

December Rain

(Poetry Form/Song)

There is nothing like looking out of your window
And watching the drops fall from the sky
It reminds me of the tears from your silky face
You must know I never meant to make you cry

All of my fond memories come to mind
When I see those December clouds passing
Forever loving the sound of the sky above
The thunder rolling and the lightning flashing

I will always remember when the sky turns grey
The cold long nights that we once shared
And telling you beside the blood warming fireplace
That your cherished love will never be compared

Never will I have a love that equals up to you
I shall never forget those everlasting nights
Watching the snow and the rain float down
I remember Princess, it was a beautiful sight

I could never imagine why it ended this way
It was like a nightmare that had come true
Just losing your love the way that I did
Left me standing alone, dazed and confused

Now that you are gone somewhere far away
I was unable to get a second chance
Was it you or me that was the fool this time
For losing a lifelong beautiful romance

Again I am thinking back touching you so softly
Just loving your soft silky skin
And making love till the early dawn
Together watching the day begin

We should have and could have made it last
Forever sharing our lives together
If you hear me Princess, it reminds me
Of the stormy December winter weather

December rain – Wash away the pain
Decemeber rain – Make it all go away
December rain

Angel in the Chaos

Angel in the Chaos

(Lyrical Form/Song)

(verse)

There she was

An Angel in the chaos

She came and she went

Now I'm feeling the loss

Left alone

Tainted and shattered

I tried to tell her

That she really mattered

(chorus)

Please God above us

Please don't let it end

I'm trying to get a message through

That I really want to send

(verse)

Now what becomes of us

Today and tomorrow

Will we be happy

Or drown in our sorrow

Holding on to everything

She has ever said

Did she break my heart

Or damage my head

(chorus)

Please God above us

Please don't let it end

I'm trying to get a message through

That I really want to send

(bridge)

Will I ever recover

Or adjust to the pain

Thinking back on yesterday

When we kissed in the rain

The storm has come and gone now

And it swept our love away

Now the sun is shining

I've so much left to say

(chorus)

Please God above us

Please don't let it end

I'm trying to get a message through

Did you get the message I send

The Best Damn thing

The Best Damn Thing

(Lyrical Form/Song)

(verse)
I can’t remember
A Single thing
What is this world
Going to bring
As I wonder
As I sing

Every time
I turn around
She’s standing there
In her evening gown
As I smile
As I try not to frown

She’s the best damn thing
In this whole damn town

*chorus*
Try not to break us
Try to take us there
Please try to make us
Let her know I really care

(verse)
She comes and she goes
With another man
To watch me sing
My master plan
As she wonders
As she knows I can

The thoughts remain
After the show
I’ve tried so hard
To let her know
If ever in my arms
I’ll never let go

She’s the best damn thing
That I’ll ever know

*chorus*
Try not to break us
Try to take us there
Please try to make us
Let her know I really care

(verse)
She’s leaving now
We’ll be worlds apart
But I know that
She’ll take my heart
This is not the end
That’s not the start

Seconds remain
Until I say goodbye
I’m closing this set
With a wink of an eye
I’ll never ask
I’ll never say why

She’s the best damn thing
With the stars in the sky

(chorus)
Try not to break us
Try to take us there
Please try to make us
Let her know I really care

Whistle Wind

Whistle Wind

(Poetry Form/Song)

I woke up early this morning
An hour before the sun
I took a walk thru the park
And thought about the things I have done

In the middle of the park stood a tree
It was a reminder of you and me
I thought about the time we both shared
I thought about when we both cared

And with a broken heart
I shed my many tears
Over and over
Throughout the years

I’ve tried and I’ve tried
To get a messege thru
Again and again
I’m still waiting on you

It’s just another day
Another night on loneliness
Another day of emptiness
Another broken heart
Another love just torn apart
It’s just another day without you

And with a broken heart
I shed my many tears
Over and over
Throughout the years

I’ve tried and I’ve tried
To get a messege thru
Again and again
I’m still waiting on you

Such Passion

Such passion

(Poetry Form)

If I could hold you on the lonely nights
Showing my feelings of love they will be
If I could give you a world of smiles
Would you share that world with me

If I could shed a tear for what we had
Would you wipe that tear away
If I could be only a friend
Would you meet me half the way

If I could kiss your lips just once more
Would the magic still be there
If I could reach in and touch your heart
Would you know that I still care

If I showed you a broken heart
Would you mend it just for me
If I gave you my last breath
Tell me, would you still believe…

When All Seems Lost

When All Seem Lost

(Lyrical Form/Song)

(verse)
When you’re down to your last dollar
With nothing else left to give
You must find it within yourself
To give love and live

You don’t need to be rich
When you have so much love
When you can barely help yourself
You’ll be rewarded from above

*chorus*
When all seems lost and empty
Don’t break down and give in
When everything is taken away
You can earn it back again

When all seems lost and empty
Don’t break down and give in
When everything is taken away
You can earn it back again

(verse)
So choose your paths wisely
Know what you’re giving for
Sow the seeds of faith and hope
And it’s you they’ll adore

Remember each passing day
As if it were your last
Take with you the gifts of joy
And learn from the past

*chorus*
When all seems lost and empty
Don’t break down and give in
When everything is taken away
You can earn it back again

When all seems lost and empty
Don’t break down and give in
When everything is taken away
You can earn it back again
