Misunderstood

I write in a genre

Oft misunderstood

I’ve tried to explain it

The best that I could

These aren’t just words

That float in my head

They are my soul

Releasing instead

The passion inside me

Pounding deep in my heart

I am a writer, a poet

And my words I impart

On all who will listen

This is my true devotion

Flowing out from within

Like my endless emotion

They pitch their tents
And gather sticks
They tell me I should try it
It’s fun they say
Come on and play
Sorry, I just don’t buy it
The forest folk hide nearby
They never make a sound
But I know they’re there
And try not to care
However, it’s much too quiet
A pat on the back
As they finish their tasks
The campsite looks quite inviting
But I’m still not staying
With bugs I’m not laying
Just drop me off at the Hyatt.

I see a reflection in your eyes
Do I recognize the images
Is it the mirror to your soul

Will you bestow upon me
The door that opens, allowing me
To catch a glimpse of your desires

Will you share your innermost thoughts
Or quickly close the portal before
I find my way in, ever lost in you

Rock Star – In Loving Memory

Sometimes life makes you stop and take a good look around. On Friday morning, I lost a very dear friend, musician Jack Stevens . He was much too young to be taken from us but God needed him more. A true gentleman, I called him my Rock Star. We joked about being true Scorpions, but mostly we laughed, a lot.

This is for you, Jack….”see you later on down the line”

Jack Stevens

Jack Stevens

You were such a true friend
Always so kind-hearted
We are lost for words
Since you departed

I hear your voice
As you sing to me
My favorite song
Of course, “Amy”

You had a special light
That shone from within
Our lives were truly blessed
We laughed a lot
You made us smile
You truly were the best

Love you Jack …RIP

You can download Jack’s album “High, Dirty & Low” on itunes, or by visiting his website www.jackstevensrocks.com

Like chocolate melting, simmering
above a low flame
a flavor waiting to be tasted
savored
lips meet
impassioned, indulging
the sweet confectionery
enveloping, embracing
allowing lovers to stray
into the heat
the fire
