Don't shop at the
candy shop -
no no no don't
shop till you drop...
It might look
quite shiny -
but keep on going
before you might be...
The next victim
with a big white smile -
snorting what
can last for a mile...
But there you are
with a purple toe -
and the tag
lets everyone know...
You checked out
and it's over now -
don't even listen
to the kitten meow.
I can't feel
at least not now -
this world has gone
insane somehow...
Hope in the future
is gone with the wind -
I suppose normal
will not be again...
What is there to gain
in this debauchery -
who wants to live
anything but free...
I don't get it
and I never will -
everyone needs
to fucking chill!
It's quiet
and relaxing -
after so much movement...
I'm thankful
for my blessings -
and all that I have...
Nothing is more
important -
than who we love...
and who loves you...
because I do...
love you!
It was a beautiful view,
crystal clear
relaxing,
better things ahead...
Until the dirt
was tossed,
and tossed
and tossed again...
So thick
the view was gone,
too muddy to climb
too thick to shovel,
so dirty
it wasn't worth it anymore.
Down about
being worn out -
not much to be
happy about...
Another day
to drizzle away -
I hang my head
and quietly pray...
That this will end
very soon -
there is no hope
nor is no room...
Nothing matters
nothing is alive -
the world is gone
and all has died.
Raggedy doors
concrete floors -
blood drips down...
Dilated
then stimulated -
no one is around...
running through
is nothing new -
as I race towards the sign...
that let me know
where to go -
and find this life of mine.
Sending it
quietly -
I wish I had
you with me...
You are so
far away -
I miss you
and yesterday...
The dance
was so surreal -
I never knew
I could feel...
I still don't
even know -
why it all
had to go.
Welled up
from the inside -
no need to try
no need to hide...
Just floating
passing it by -
no need to think
no need to cry...
It's always been
this messed up way -
since that time
and long ago day...
What I'd give
to actually know -
why I ever even
said hello.
He drove country roads
with a big wide smile -
in a pick up truck
for mile after mile...
with his loving wife
right by his side -
they always enjoyed
a nice country drive...
He lived his life
as a Godly man -
as a loving husband
and a football fan...
He always had a joke
and a silly grin -
he was a happy dad
and a faithful friend...
He strummed guitar
to John Denver songs -
while those around
would laugh and sing along...
He wore a cowboy hat
with jeans and boots -
he knew how to survive
he knew how to shoot...
He loved his mom
and the Lord above -
he was an example
of strength and love..
Though it is hard
and broke hearts into -
there was nothing left
anyone could do...
wanting to go home
was his dying wish -
so we bid farewell
to his heavenly bliss.
Until we meet again...
Uncle Doug 1955-2021
Oh dear Lord
another day -
has come along
and I must say...
I thank you Lord
as you give -
hope and strength
in this life we live...
Until that day
I'm at your feet -
and in your glory
I will weep...
As for now
I will push through -
my dear Lord
I believe in you!
It's quiet -
my thoughts are
loud...
Sometimes -
I am alone in a
crowd...
Living life -
is usually lived
best...
When you are -
no longer concerned
with the rest...
Because really -
think it all
through...
Who in the hell -
is concerned with
you.
I'm happy
doing what I want -
I don't need to be
the thirsty debutant...
I'm free
doing what I love
I have risen
so far above...
The wannabee's
it's not where it's at -
I can be thankful
I didn't buy into that...
All those behind
are dust in my wake -
I have no time for diamonds
that are fake.
Why am I always
too nice...
Apple spice -
While paying
the high price...
of dealing with
quite insane...
Same mundane -
I won't even
say their name...
Jealous fools -
with stupid rules
past uncool...
See ya!
I so enjoyed
the sand and sea -
where I know
I need to be...
Coming home
is bitter sweet -
one day I will
live on the street...
that leads to a
sunny shore seabed -
seagulls and palm trees
overhead...
Where music comes
from barefoot men -
where smiles light up
from within...
I've always known
since my first time -
I need to finally
make it mine!
Will I
or won't I -
as these
days go by...
Why worry
what's true -
when there's nothing
you can do...
Maybe space
and time -
will relax
these nerves of mine.
