​    SAD EYES—SAD EYES

Sad eyes, Sad Eyes.
Always filled with grief.
Always thinking the worse.
Always looking for relief.
 
Sad eyes, Sad Eyes.
Always filled with tears.
Always singing sad songs.
Always filled with fear.
 
Sad eyes Sad Eyes.
Always questioning why.
Always second guessing.
Always looking for lies.
 
Sad eyes, Sad Eyes.
Always filled with depression.
Always looking for self pity.
Always looking to question.
 
Sad eyes, Sad Eyes.
Always dispelling the past.
Always looking to distort.
Always feeling harassed.
 
Sad eyes, Sad Eyes.
Always waving good-bye.
Always never believing the truth.
Always looking to crucify.
 
Sad eyes-Sad eyes
Time to end all your rage.
Put all your sadness aside.
Time to start a brand new page.

​   HIGHWAY OF LIFE

​ THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE----IS ONE OF DEATH AND CONFUSION
  AT TIMES IT LEAVES YOU STRANDED----AND OTHER TIMES APPEARS AS A ILLUSION.
 
  REACHING A DESTINATION----WITHOUT ANY MEANING/
  YOU’RE LOST IN A NIGHTMARE----YET YOU’RE NOT EVEN DREAMING.
 
  YOU’VE BOOKED YOUR PASSAGE----BUT YOUR SHIP HAS SAILED.
 YOUR FLIGHT HAS BEEN CANCEL3ED----YOU’RE ABOUT TO DERAIL.
 
  PREPARING FOR A JOURNEY----WITH NOWHERE TO GO.
  SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS-----WITHOUT ANY REASON TO KNOW.
 
  TRAPPED IN A WRECKAGE----YOU’RE ABANDONED AND ALONE.
  DETOURS OF LIFE----LEAVE YOU STRANDED ON A DEAD END ROAD.
 
  ALWAYS EXCEEEDING THE LIMITS----WHILE SPEEDING THRU LIFE.
  CONFRONTED BY STOPLIGHTS----ONLY ADD TO YOUR STRIFE.
 
  ROAD BLOCKS AND RED LIGHTS---LEAVE YOU VOID OF BELIEVING.
  CAUGHT IN A SPEED TRAP---YOURE ACCUSED OF DECEIVING.
 
  THE FINES AND TOLLS OF LIFE----CAN BE COSTLY AND MUST BE PAID.
  FEED THE METER----OR BE TOWED AWAY.
 

FORGIVE AND FORGET

​THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES,.. MANT THINGS NEVER GO OUR WAY.
WE’RE LEFT WITH SADNESS…. AND OUR AMENDS ARE ON DELAY.
 
WHAT EXISTS NOW,… CAN NEVER REPLACE WHAT WAS ONCE BEFORE.
THINK ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE NECESSARY…. TO RE-OPEN THAT DOOR.
 
HOW COULD SO MUCH LOVE,… AND TRUE AFFECTION.
DEVELOP INTO…. A INCONTROLABLE EMOTIONAL INFECTION.
 
WORDS AND FEELINGS OF HATE,…. NOT SO EASY TO ERASE.
EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN,…. SHOULD NEVER HAD TAKEN PLACE.
 
SADNESS PREVAILS,…. FROM WORDS OF HATE.
SO EASDY TO SAY THEM…., SO EASY TO BERATE.
 
ONCE DONE, WERE LEFT WITH FEELINGS OF DESPAIR.
DID WE REALLY MEAN IT, OR DO WE JUST NOT CARE.
 
IT OCCURS AT ALL LEVELS,…. FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND FOE.
THE PAIN SUFFERED BY OTHERS,…. SHALL ALWAYS REMAIN UNKNOWN.
 
FORGIVNESS AND LOVE…. HAS BEEN PREACHED FOR MANY YEARS.
TIME TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK,…. AND WIPE AWAY THE TEARS.
 
WHAT ARE THE TERMS…. FOR A SUCCESSFUL FORGIVENESS.
MAY BE AS SIMPLE AS A PHONE CALL…., BUT MUST ALSO HAVE THE WILLINGNESS.
 
CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS…. TO TEACH US TO REPENT.
SO WHY CAN’T WE ALL,…. JUST FORGIVE AND FORGET.
 

​AT PEACE

​DEEP INSIDE MY ANGUISHED DOME. 
MY THOUGHTS RUN WILD, & MY EMOTIONS ROAM.   
 
THERE IS A DANGEROUS DESIRE TO ACHIVE GREAT THINGS.
BUT MY HEART IS SOMEPLACE ELSE, & MY MIND CAN’T SING.
 
IT IS WITH THESE THOUGHTS THAT I HAVE LONG ENDURED.
A FASCINATION, TO BE SIMPLE AND PURE.
 
TO BE SOMEONE, AND NOT LIKE HIM.
TIME IS SHORT, AND THE LITES ARE BEGINNING TO DIM.
 
I RAN THE RACE , BUT ALWAYS CAME UP LAME.
I FOUGHT THE DEMONS, I’LL ACCEPT THE BLAME.
 
ALTHOUGH I MAY NOT HAVE LIKED THE CARDS I WAS DEALT.
MY CONSCIOUS IS CLEAR, AND I’M AT PEACE WITH MY SELF.
 

  MUSIC THAT SOOTHES THE SAVAGE BEAST ​

               A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.
                  FROM THE “MET” TO THE “STREET”.
                  MUSIC THAT EXCITES AND DELIGHTS US.
                  LIKE A CONSTANT DRUM BEAT.
 
                  GOING TO THE BROOKLYN PARAMOINT.
                  TO FULFILL OuR MUSIC NEEDS.
                  ROCK’IN ROLL SHOWS HOSTED BY.
                  THE ONE AND ONLY ALAN FREED.
 
                   Gloria by the Cadillac’s
                   Dry humping at the Friday nite dances.
                   Listening  to earth Angel.
                   While at the drive-in, doing a little romancing.
               
 
                  IT’S NO MORE DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL.
                  WHEN YOU GET UP WITH YOUR DAUGHTER TO SWIRL.
                  ITS NOW the ALL TIME FAVORITE.
                  BY THE TEMPTATIONS, “MY Girl”.
 
                  There was a time many years ago.
                  When the music temporarily died.
                  Buddy holly, Richie valen’s & the big bopper.
                  Are now appearing on that big stage in the sky.
 
                  Then there was the chambers brothers.
                   With a 60”S favorite “time”.
                   Or how about johnny cash’s
                   50’s favorite “walk the line”
                    Or bobby z’s version which he sang at the nco club at fort bliss
                    In 1963 and 64
                    I keep my pants up with a piece if twine
                    I keep my eyes open all the time.
                    Because of you, I’d walk the line.
                    Because your mine, please pull the twine.
 
                  Music that excites you.
                  Makes you want to dance.
                  Music very special.
                  To help you when romancing.
 
                  Maybe it was “jerry lee lewis”.
                  Who left you rock’in and reel’in.
                  Or was it the righteous brothers.
                  With the greatest song ever ”you lost that loving feeling”.
 
                  Johnny ray, singing “that little white cloud that cried”.
                  The young rascals and the four tops had no flaws.
                  Janis Joplin & big brother and the holding company.
                  Bobby fuller singing “I fought the law”.
 
                  May have been jackie Wilson.
                  Causing the crowds to roar.
                  Or was it bobby Dylan.
                  Doing “knock’in on heaven’s door.
 
                  Danc’in to the slow ones.
                  Will always in our minds remain.
                  To another old time favorite.
                  The knockouts doing “darling Lorraine”.
 
                  From George thorogood with “bad to the bone”.
                  To elvis doing “blue suede shoes”.
                  Or how about screaming jay Hawkins with “I put a spell on you”.
                  And of course bb king signing the blues.
 
                  Whenever on the dance floor.
                  We always held her tight.
                  Especially when dancing to.
                  “in the still of the night:.
 
                  Words that leave you.
                  And sounds so gentle and sweet.
                  Music that arouses you.
                 Makes you jump to your feet.
 
                 How about the Beatles.
                 Doing sgt. Peppers lonely Hearts Band.
                 Or maybe joe cocker.
                 Doing a little help from my friends.
 
                 Or could it have been robert palmer singing.
                   “”doctor—doctor give me the cure”
                 I got a bad case of lov’in you.
 
                  Jersey city’s own, the Dupree’s.
                  With the classic “you belong to me”/
                  Or maybe the young rascals.
                  doing “people got to be free”.
 
 
                 From “rock around the clock” to “Johnny be good.”
                 May it never cease.
                 Music thru the ages.
                 Has “soothed the savage beast”.
 
                 Now that we have taken.
                 A stroll down memory lane.
                 Music tells a story.
                 Sounds that shall forever remain.
