His Sins


He stood on a cliff overlooking the ocean
Salt sprays rain in the air his thoughts strayed
To all his past sins
He committed a little bit of each
He lied,
 Cheated,
Coveted, and yes
 He even killed
As he watch the violence of the sea
Reminding him of the rage in his heart
Was he worth loving, he thought not
He lied,
 Cheated,
Coveted, and yes
 He even killed
He took a step closer to the edge
One foot dangled just a tad over
One more step and he’d be
Lost forever
He lied,
 Cheated,
Coveted, and yes
 He even killed

Would he be missed?
Someone out there crying
For his soul damned by years
Of abuse in turn he abused other
He lied,
 Cheated,
Coveted, and yes
 He even killed
The vicious cycle of life was
Coming with a vengeance looking
Over that cliff so many thoughts paraded
Through his mind
He lied,
 Cheated,
Coveted, and yes
 He even killed
His mother had loved him once upon a time
He didn’t know his father and didn’t
Really give a damn
Clouds rolled in turning the morning grey
The sun ran away if acknowledging his duplicity
He lied,
 Cheated,
Coveted, and yes
 He even killed
Out in the distance he spotted a seagull
Wondered what it must of felt like
Soaring through the air with all that freedom
Beneath his wings, being free he never experienced
Always locked in some inner battle with himself
He lied,
 Cheated,
Coveted, and yes
 He even killed
The sea was calling him
The waves echoed in his mind
Telling him he’d find the peace
And freedom he was denied
One more step he’d find the answer to
So many questions
Life eternal
He lied,
 Cheated,
Coveted, and yes
 He even killed

I Need Another Scotch



What do I do now throw my hands up wave a white flag and surrender
Stagnant unmoving emotions on a roller coaster of disaster
No more to the point of staggering off a cliff free falling
Well maybe it’s even more than that unscrew the top pour a shot
They say if you hold a bird to long it loses all since of self, crippled by dependency
No independence, wait clipped wings don’t grow back do they
Oh hell the sense I’m making, none take a sip
Too many hours spent going over this road map called, what, life?
Damn what was the name of that psychiatrist just as well probably
Put a spell on me instead of helping me to figure out my self
Lie on his couch watching his luscious mouth
Each word he forms making me warm
His deep expressive eyes undressing me, yep I know what
He’s thinkin and I’m thinking it too next one make it a double no ice
Okay I’m putting the glass down everything is becoming
 Muddled scuttled there’s a rattle going off inside my brain
Laughter, is someone else in the room with me or
Am I going insane?
Oh okay it just me then again I think the
Man on TV is speaking let me turn up the sound
“Are you sitting alone in a dark room talking to yourself? Well if you are you might
Want to get off the damn couch and turn on some lights” the bottle is empty
I need another scotch

As She Tantalized


As She Tantalized
Her hips were swaying to the beat
Long  sexy legs captivated
All the men in the room held mesmerized
Eyes closed head titled back her body moved
In fluent motion she licked her hot pink lips
Letting the music be her lover
Making love to her as she
Bumped and grind, gyrated her hips
Her hand ran down her thighs inviting
Temptation
She moaned as the music took over
No one could take their eyes off of her
Beautiful vision,
Desirable,
Seductress,
Dynamic personality
Inside she was poison wine
But that didn’t stop the men
From wanting her
They lusted in their hearts
Watching from a distance
Some who were bold enough to approach
Felt like king of the world
When they got her attention
A coy smile on her mouth
She knew her body was a spell
She cast so well
Pick and choose of any man in the room
Smoke filled atmosphere
Shot glasses slammed down on the bar
Someone shouting for another refill
Music screamed deafening ears
As her body tantalized
Asher body tantalized
As her body tantalized………….

Dreaming In Color


Close my eyes, run my hand across your empty side
Bed is cold, lonely, the smell of your cologne still lingers
Roll over onto my side curl up into myself, wishing you were
Lying next to me holding me tight
Sleep eases its way in
Dreams begin
Laughter,
Tears,
Joy,
Heartbreak,
Birth,
Sorrow,
Life,
Passion,
Giving,
Taking,
Sharing,
Blessings,
Curse,
Forgiving,
Loving,
Moaning drifting deeper into my dream,
Dreaming in color

Crying My Heart Out To You



Careful of the tightrope walked
Rage has tittered on the edge
Yonder there is a place
Insatiable desires corrupt
Negligence of a heart
Gone away broken

Mystified
Yearning

Heavens breath breathe
Eternal love
Aching winds blow in pain
Reprieve of sins unforgiving
Thievery of emotions

Obfuscate inner soul
Utopia lives within
Tangible spirit dances

Timorously standing on threshold
Ostracize by fate

Yesterday is gone
Odorous passion still lingers
Unrequited love has awaken to
Crying out my heart to you

No Shades of Gray


She didn’t know why she felt so sad
Tears came and she couldn’t understand
There was a feeling inside of her that
She couldn’t seem to touch
No matter how hard she tried to
Understand and connect
Was she missing something, someone
She took the sadness with her to
Bed and awaken with it each morn
Wrapped in the arms of an emotion
She couldn’t describe only to say
It never left her and everyday
She carried it, becoming more a part of her
For some great sin was this her price
To be cursed always with this
Sadness inside of her
She couldn’t get drunk enough
Ingest enough pills there was
No relief for the ill feeling
She lived with
Turning to sex only increased her pain
What was left?
The louder the sound of voices in
Her head deeper the pain she was in
Sadness damned her and took
Over her existence
So I guess you could say her world lost all
Color and in the end all she saw was black
No shades of gray

Carefully







Carefully examine the vessel that beats
inside
Carefully let healing begin
day by day
Carefully embrace quiet
while soul searching

Carefully nature is all things
rejoice
Carefully tides of pain ride
out to find another
Carefully awaken youthful
desires

Carefully the sweet smell of roses
returns
Carefully the voice of heaven is
heard

Carefully arms welcome
once was
Carefully is now beginning
to live
Carefully finding my way back
to you
Carefully
