Who invited this clown?
I don't recall sending an invitation
Yet here he is
Pain in the rearend
Someone escort him out
And tell him to take his vile friends with him
To include chemo, . . .

Nothing is for certain,
Nothing is as it seems
Nothing is really perfect,
Except within our dreams
Critique welcome! I know this is very short, but there was *nothing* to add and it sounded . . .

Trudy was busy
Most of her life
Until she went crazy
And got her a knife
She shredded a pillow
Forever it seems
For Trudy never got
To live her great dream.
Trudy dreamed
Of dancing at a great . . .

When life is your muse
You are inspired every day
When life is an odyssey
You learn everyday
You pen down your fears
On a gloomy day
And paint a lovely picture
Spreading colors . . .

When I laid (lay) last year in a hospital bed,
I could only live my life then in my head
Many visitors came and when they went
Their nice visit felt like it was heaven sent
You know . . .

As the sun is rising up,
And the coffee aroma hits,
The quiet of the morning,
Before the rushing of the kids,
I sit in my chair and ponder,
The musings of the day,
Where I need to be,
And who I'll . . .

How do you know when something is at it's end
When let down by one who you thought was a friend?
How do you sit still when tears roll down your face
And try to stop the feeling of running . . .

When late night sleep escapes me,
Many thoughts swirl in my mind,
Is this my genius speaking or
Am I close to the madness line?
I write it all down fast
As the words just flow and flow,
Where did . . .

Now is the hour of our discontent,
We can't find the money to pay the rent,
Nickels on the floor and dimes from the attic,
Even our TV is showing nothing but static.
In the kitchen, the refrigerator . . .

I was lost in thought, lost in today,
Not realizing how far I'd lost my way.
Days go fast...feels like they never end.
Inside I feel like I have no friends.
People surround me and smile my way. . . .

Rainbows and prisms,
Raindrops and gold,
Diamonds that sparkle,
Moments to share and to hold.
A smile freely given
A hug on the sly
Waking up with coffee
Made by my favorite guy. . . .

And now it seems my heart is tired of regreful dreams,
Of what I could render death was better than all life's splendor.
If onlyI had know the difference between loving and being alone.

As I wander through the night
Many thoughts go through my mind
Do you think I said too little
What they said, is it a sign?
Conversation tapes run wild
Past and present troubles too. . . .

Don't let the people fool you,
Don't let them make you think,
That they are better than you,
Or that they know the missing link.
Doesn't matter what you wear,
Or what fancy car you drive. . . .

I remember the sixties,
The long hair and the flowers,
It was up with the people,
With all kinds of powers.
There was Andy Warhol,
And grey haired heads of state,
National guard shooting students, . . .

I adore you my friend,
And I treasure all our times.
That you have been there for me.
When you read between the lines.
We're both on the same page.
So I don't feel so all alone.
It's . . .

To dare to dream,
To want to seem,
To live to be,
To hear to see,
To love to feel
To be too real
To care to give
To dream to live.

It's a fine line between love and hate
It's a fine line between bad and first rate
It's a fine line when provoked to a fight,
You need to decide what's wrong and what's right.

The sun streams in through the thick shades of the room
She did not want to lie more in the shadows of the gloom
Her big heart was broken and she thought she had had enough
Little did she know . . .
