Dreamy Eyes

Dreamy eyes. You’ve got such dreamy eyes.
I look into them and I realize.
You could be an angel in disguise.
Because you have such dreamy eyes.

I see you across the room.
Your eyes light up the gloom.
The sight of you makes my heart swoon.
I want to see you again soon.

Your eyes are a deep shade of blue.
Before I saw them, I never knew.
They look just like beautiful jewels.
I hope you like my hazel eyes too.

They are no match to your beautiful eyes.
The way your eyes seem to hypnotize.
I am under your spell. It’s no surprise.
It happens each time I look into your eyes.

I pray someday you’ll be my wife.
We’ll have children with their own life.
I hope they all will avoid all strife.
With eyes like yours, they will not fight.

Just one look should do the trick.
Calm the heart of anyone who is miffed.
They will look in their eyes and just sit.
Hypnotized by the sight of it.

How would it be if your eyes were green?
The prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen.
They would light up any movie screen.
Yet, those blue eyes would steal every scene.

Dreamy eyes. You’ve got such dreamy eyes.
I keep thinking, it’s no surprise.
I just want to sit and stare into your eyes.
Because you’ve got such dreamy eyes.

Somewhere, deep in the heart of man.
Is the desire to do what he can.
To try to overcome his sinful nature.
To have God his care taker.
Total surrender is the only way to try.
With the Holy Spirit as your guide.
Nothing is impossible for God.
It is Him. Not you. That’s not odd.
Who can say they can save themselves?
Can’t be done. Even with the help of elves.
Fall at the foot of the cross.
Give it all to God at all cost.
Christ and God are one & the same.
Only difference is in the name.
If you’ve seen Christ, you’ve seen the Father.
Some have asked “Where is the daughter?”
It is doubtful gender makes a difference.
Be He a prince—– or a princes.
The Holy Spirit is an extension of Him.
The Holy Spirit can lead you from sin.
Lead you to total surrender.
The law of sin in the flesh can render
an action contrary to Christ.
It can be covered by His blood sacrifice.
His righteousness will cover your sinful nature.
Leaving you perfect. He took your place here.
What more can we ask at such a price?
To even think we deserve more isn’t nice.
Through His power, we can overcome.
Total surrender means we are one.
We become a new creature in Christ.
He is the one who paid the price.
We deserve all He was given.
Yet, He tells us we are forgiven.
I am unworthy to be in His presence.
His rightness protects me hence.
Oh, wretched thing that I am.
I only desire to be with Him.

Let Love Bloom In The Spring

Let Love Bloom In Spring

Spring is in the air again.
You can smell it on the wind.
Birds are chirping in the trees.
Hear the buzzing of the bees.

Flowers blooming everywhere.
Smell their perfume in the air.
The sun is warm and bright.
See all the stars at night.

It’s a time for love to bloom.
Here comes a bride and groom.
This is a very special time.
There is romance on my mind.

Seems she doesn’t feel the same.
She doesn’t want to hear my name.
I agree, it was a long rough winter.
Yet it should not bring a splinter.

Put all that behind us, my dear.
Can’t you see springtime is here.
Time to start all over again.
Plant a seed & it will grow, my friend.

Let it take root in your heart.
Before long, you won’t want to be apart.
Our love will grow into a mighty tree.
Spreading its leaves for all to see.

Get into the spring spirit with me.
Let our love grow into that tree.
We were meant to be together.
Forget all about that winter weather.

Gobbly Gunk

Sit down and turn around.
Plant your tomatoes in the ground.
Get up and shake it off.
You know pigs eat from a troth.
Stir it up and shake it down.
This is no place for a clown.
Were you born standing up?
Did they smack you on the butt?
It can be fun with another.
Someone other than your brother.
I had a dream the other night.
The sight of you gave me a fright.
If spirits are real, what about ghosts?
Who eats the fastest gets the most.
The A, B, C’s of you and me.
What you get is what you see.
Have you tried kissing in the dark?
Sometimes it is not too smart.
Try to bend down & touch your toes.
Knees straight. Don’t wrinkle your hose.
I must say, today is dragging.
But, I’ll survive. I am not bragging.
The last boy was different than me.
He was not insane, you see.
Diamond Mountain is the place to go.
No diamonds, but lots of weeds grow.
This poem is an insane piece of crap.
You’re not alone in thinking that.
So, guess I’d better end it now.
Before some reader has a cow.

Love, Mostly From A Distance

Love, Mostly At A Distance

If you go and see the world like you want,
remember,—– all I want is you.
You will go without me. Not a taunt.
Still, our love will never die. It is true.
Sometimes you are like a rolling stone.
You gather no moss as you move along.
I will remain here, faithful to the bone.
Just remember that as you sing your song.
You were born with a restless sole.
I was born to be a person happy at home.
Just remember wherever you go.
I don’t like staying here all alone.
Bring it back. Bring back your love to me.
The longer you’re gone, the worse it is.
I know in your heart you want to feel free.
Still, you don’t want our love to lose its fizz.
I don’t mind going for a day or two.
As long as you are with me the whole way.
For longer trips I always end up missing you.
I can’t stand leaving home and staying away.
Yet, this feeds your sole. It is what you do.
My love will survive till you return.
I can think of no other except you.
Will your love for me survive, is my concern.
Usually I say yes. Being positive is what I do.
I see no solution to this ongoing problem.
I live with it and take the blows.
Can you think of a way to solve them?
My love remains strong. And so it goes.

Hillbilly With A Drinking Problem

Hey Boregard, what ya doin tonight?
I’m a goin outside and takin flight.
What chu sayin? You all can’t fly.
By 9:00 tonight—– I will be high.

Ya old boozer, yer at it again.
Ya drink more than Bobby Linn.
The town drunk fer the past 8 years.
He only knows ‘more’ & ‘cheers.’

Why ya getting all liquored up fer now?
Ya knows yer wife is gonna have a cow.
I’m gonna fly like the ‘witchy woman.’
She’s the one The Eagles saw coming.

Ya keep it up an you’ll have the D T’s again.
See pink elephants and kiss your friends.
You’ll be a twitchin on the floor.
Puking and a barfing all over some more.

Don’t chu a worry bout my drinkin now.
I don’t care ifin my wife has a cow.
I be a celebratin the big occasion.
I be the leader of a bran new nation.

What nation is that? The drunken nation?
No. The Nation of Dalmatians.
Ya know I got a slew o them dogs.
I have more dogs than I have hogs.

You be Looney tunes is what you are.
You’re whacker than a crazy ‘baar.’
That booze is a killin yer brain cells.
Yer brain gets pickled, then it swells.

Let me take ya somewhere tonight.
It’s a new meetin I think you’ll like.
Do they show the old smut films?
I like em & the food. Fire up those kilns.

This be an A. A. meetin. Might save yer life.
Before ya get yerself killed by yer wife.
It be a good thing fer you to do.
I don’t wanna be havin to bury you.

You can guess what Boregard said.
Yeah, he’s still drunk & out of his head.
He said A. A. was “Drunk A Logs” fer all.
Not as fun as actually havin a ball.

When he dies the town bar will go broke.
On his tombstone will be his quote.
“A beer to me is like a glass of water.”
“If it was a lake I’d swim like an otter.”

Health Lesson Learned Late

Health Lesson Learned Late.

Across town, I had to go.
I wanted to see a show.
The theater was over there.
But, really didn’t care.

It was a little out of my way.
Still, I drove by there every day.
My girl lived right near there.
I would always slow & stare.

Stare at the theater parking lot.
Roach Trucks parked on that spot.
I tried to see if she was there.
She ate there often, without a care.

We had talked about the risk of that.
Sometimes it was almost a spat.
I wouldn’t touch any of that food.
I felt it was prepared pretty crude.

But, that never bothered her.
She felt it was safe. That’s for sure.
Luckily, she never got sick.
Yet, I would not even touch it.

I was a health nut, to be sure.
Sort of fussy, as it were.
I only ate certain things.
She thought it was all beans.

Beans was not what I ate.
I ate veggies, fruit, and steak.
I avoided sugar and wheat.
I wouldn’t eat it if it was sweet.

Enough of that. We went to the show.
She wanted popcorn. Here we go.
With butter and a soda too.
I said “This is not for you.”

So, the fight over food began again.
It spoiled the movie, so I gave in.
I only ate nuts and drank water.
She said: “You eat like an otter.”

I didn’t disagree to prevent a fight.
She said her popcorn was light.
I disagreed, but kept quiet.
I didn’t want to start a riot.

After the movie, we went for dinner.
I took her to a place I called a winner.
She hardly even touched her meal.
It was healthy. A real deal.

Then she wanted to stop at Dunkin Donuts.
Said she wanted to get some cronuts.
Said that would be her dessert.
I said “No,” for what it’s worth.

Time goes by, like it always does.
She isn’t my girl now, just because.
My health is fine & I’m feeling good.
She is fat & not feeling like she should.

While with me she didn’t learn a thing.
Always thought I was being mean.
Now, she admits I may have been right.
For her to shape up will be a real fight.

Reptilian City Discovered?

He was lost in the jungle.
He was all alone.
All he owned was in his bundle.
He didn’t even have a phone.
How he got here, he didn’t know.
He knew where he was from.
He knew his head took a blow.
Then, memories started to come.
A plane crash. Just jungle below.
He knew they were going to crash.
Everyone was killed, except him.
He had a bump & a minor slash.
He didn’t know which way to go.
He would keep heading downhill.
His water supply was running low.
For 2 days, he had been going on will.
Then, he heard the river he came upon.
Big rapids, rough, dropping fast.
He got water & tried to follow the river on.
It entered a narrow canyon pass.
He found a narrow ledge he could use.
He proceeded very carefully.
Soon, he came upon a cave. Good news.
The opening was very narrow, you see.
He went in and got the shock of his life.
He had proceeded down pretty far.
What he saw was a shocking sight.
He saw what looked like a little car.
Soon, he saw creatures: reptilian?
Like large upright lizards from afar.
They had a city of maybe a million.
He didn’t wait to see anymore.
He ran out as fast as he could.
Followed the river till he found a shore.
Rigged a raft made out of wood.
Sailed the river to civilization.
Got transportation to an airport.
Finally, he got back to his nation.

He had something big to report
He reported the story of his find.
It didn’t get a good reception.
They thought he had lost his mind.
Only one person took an exception.
A scientist who believed his story.
He was ready to forget it all.
No one would take him seriously.
Then the scientist made his call.
“Tell me more about your find,” curiously.
He told the scientist all he knew.
The scientist got real excited about it.
He said “I know you’re not a fool”
“I couldn’t find proof. It made me sick.”
“I have had a theory about reptilians.”
“ What you have found should do the trick.”
“We will bring back proof worth millions.”
“We? What are you talking about?”
“A trip back to the cave to get proof.”
”Are you nuts? I’m not going!!”, I shout.
“The fame & money will be big loot.”
The scientist said with a pout.
“I will even throw in my share to boot.”
In the end, plans were made to go.
He wondered how he was talked into this.
He thought about being called wacko.
He decided to put an end to this.
They left on the 23rd of March.
Headed for the Amazon jungle.
Most people thought it was just a lark.
They said to have fun though.
They were never heard from again.
The story lives on to this very day.
Were they caught by lizards, or men?
No one could ever really say.

Don’t Wait, Act Now!!

Long ago, when I was a kid.
I use to explore all around.
A country boy, I often hid.
It was hard for me to be found.

We played hide and seek.
One of our primary things.
I would hide by the creek.
I disappeared, like I had wings.

Others would search for hours.
They never found me at all.
I climbed up in the bowers.
Then I prayed I wouldn’t fall.

They never looked up for me.
They looked on the ground.
If they looked up, they would see.
Then I would finally be found.

That never happened, even once.
It is like a lot of people today.
They go around, like in a funk.
Never looking up so they could say.

“Eureka!!,—– I have found it.”
They would realize where we are.
They would start using their wit.
Changing things, making it better by far.

“Look up, for your redemption draweth neigh.”
Does it sound familiar to you?
More truth in this than meets the eye.
Time to look up. Don’t be a fool.

Wake up and smell the roses.
Your world is disintegrating around you.
Do you have to be beat with rubber hoses?
Wake up, there is so much you can do.

Things could improve in every way.
If people would just look up and see.
If they would listen to what I say.
Things could be better for you and me.

Stop, look, and listen to it all.
There is still a little time.
Don’t wait till after the fall.
Then think you have lost your mind.

There is a way, but we must all act.
The ostrich syndrome won’t work .
We must come together, it’s a fact.
Be assertive, just like Captain Kirk.

The Coffee House

Feeling down and all strung out?
Wondering what it’s all about?
I was in The Coffee House again.
Feeling good on my favorite ‘gin.’
Not booze, just really good coffee.
Despite the fact I often had to pee.
When down and out, coffee helped.
I would toss it down like taking a belt.
Coffee would give me energy.
I felt like moving.—– I felt free.
Like a heavy weight was lifted off me.
Despite the fact, I often had to pee.
What does coffee do for you?
Is it a ‘pick me up’ for you too?
Coffees come from everywhere.
In certain places, coffee is better there.
Find your favorite and drink it down.
Before long, you will be all over town.
The best place is in The Coffee House.
Drink your coffee and use your mouse.
Free WiFi for all coffee drinkers.
Good for the dreamers and the thinkers.
There is often entertainment too.
Someone will play music for you.
Or, maybe, there will be a poetry reading.
Welcoming you with a friendly greeting.
So, if you’re a little down and out.
The Coffee House is what it is about.
Come on down and have a cup of brew.
‘Nectar Of The Gods’ brewed just for you.
