TAINTED

Just a fool to be played
That’s what you said
You laughed at me
As you got out of bed.

My head on the pillow
So torn up inside
You continued to laugh
As I laid there and cried.

Get me some coffee
You said to me
I got up bare naked
Obediently.

I poured your coffee
Added a spoon
Tainted with poison
You’d be feeling it soon.

Once doubled over
You fell to the floor
It was my turn to laugh
To even the score.

I waited awhile
Got back into bed
Had to be sure
You were gone, you were dead.

The sun coming up
Had brightened my day
The best part of all
When they took you away.

They covered your face
With a white cotton sheet
Zipped up the bag
Carried you to the street.

Bye bye, Bon Voyage
Good riddens, good grief
So glad you are gone
You bastard, you creep.

SO HOT

Spellbound, elated
Head over heels
This can’t be happening
This can’t be real.

High as a kite
No whiskey or drugs
One look at her
That was enough.

Heart beating fast
Cold sweaty  palms
Feeling so good
What could go wrong?

Out of control
Out of my mind
She is so hot
She is so  fine.

Meeting for coffee
A quiet cafe
Gotta be cool
Meeting today.

Just can’t imagine
The  two of us
Being together
Got such a crush.

Out of Control;
Out of my mind
She is so hot
Gotta be mine.

LATE NIGHTS. (A Song)

Late nights together
Lying in bed
A bottle of wine
The things that you said.

Nights filled with passion
Straight from the heart
Now I’m forgotten
I’ve been left in the dark.

Promises made
To do no harm
The tattoo for you
I got on my arm.

All the demands
That you made on me
No second chances
No show of mercy.

No explanation
No alibi
Feeling confused
I sat there and cried.

You said it was over
You don’t feel the same
I asked you about her
Tell me her name.

“It doesn’t matter
I don’t love you”
You sounded so cold
What could Ido?

You left in the morning
Without saying goodbye
I spent the day crying
It was all a lie.

Those late nights together
Lying in bed
Holding you close
I can’t  forget.

PLAYERS

Show me the money
At any cost
I’ll put up the bounty
I won’t take a loss.

The market incentive
To make the next trade
No need for a life vest
No need to be saved.

Always ahead
Proceed without shame
Plotting and planning
The name of the game.

I’ll  take the credit
Untold admiration
Fuel for the fire
No false expectations.

So easy to do
A quick slight of hand
No one is the wiser
They’ll follow the plan.

A robber, a thief
A wolf in sheep’s clothes
No one will question
No one even knows.

It’s money that matters
All things can be bought
Players will win
And never get caught.

PICTURE PERFECT

Picture perfect thoughts of you
A memory, a portrait
An image conjured, photographed
Had I scanned or simply forged it?

A drawing, sketched on paper
Fantasy or make believe?
Your image there before my eyes
But, have I been deceived?

Standing in a line up
Would I remember, would I lie?
Your mind plays tricks, confuses you
Makes up false alibis.

The clouds, the dust, the wind that blows
Fills the air with dreams
We hang on to those images
Of what things were, or seemed.

LOCK THE DOOR

You’re saying that you’re sorry
But I don’t believe you
Why keep repeating?
Think I never knew?

The cheating and the lying
The late night calls
Emails and  texts
So  tired of it all.

Begging and pleading
More of your lies
Not going to listen
Not going to try.

The same sad story
Told time and again
We’re done, it’s over
I need this to end.

Pack up your things
Get out, don’t come back
I’m changing my number
I’m changing the lock.

Don’t  even try
Try twisting my arm
Don’t waste your breath
Your smile or your charm.

I need you to go
Don’t ever come back
The door will be closed
The door will be locked.

SILVER AND GOLD

Out for the bounty
Since the day we first met
Fill up your pockets
Take all you can get.

A false sense of trust
The pattern, the weave
You’ll take what you want
You’re seething with greed.

You’ll smile and you’ll grin
You’ve done this before
There won’t be enough
You’ll always want more.

Selfish ambition
Your motive, your goal
You’re looking for treasure
The silver, the gold.

A shiny new toy
Will soon catch your eye
You won’t think twice
Before saying…. goodbye.

BAT SHIT CRAZY

Bat shit crazy
Over the top
I begged and I pleaded
But,  you wouldn’t stop.

Looking for trouble
Picking a fight
The incessant probing
The need to be right.

Seeking attention
The center spotlight
Constant assurance
Never forthright.

A hidden agenda
Your menacing greed
You’ll do anything
To get what you need.

Under the bus
Straight into hell
I found myself
I tripped and I fell.

The smile on your face
That scathing grin
At any cost
You plan to win.

Bat shit crazy
Over the top
I can beg,  I can plead
But, you’ll never stop.

A RAINY DAY

Rain on the window
Dark clouds in the sky
Flowers are dancing
The weeds will comply.

Snails heading for cover
Birds in their nests
Squirrels in the trees
It’s as good, as it gets.

Raindrops and dewdrops
Converge on the leaves
A  soothing sweet nectar
For flowers and bees.

Rain boots and raincoats
Umbrellas in hand
A walk through the garden
We stroll hand in hand.

CHILLED TO THE BONE

I stood near the dumpster
The trash was piled real high
There under a blanket
I could see those sad blue eyes.

They were fixed and they were open
Couldn’t help, but start to cry
His hair was long and matted
It fell across his eyes.

Nervously got out my phone
I quickly called …911

Couldn’t wait, wanted to leave
I had the urge to run.

The local sheriff , first to arrive

Lights flashing red and white

The body was as cold as ice

Musta been there overnight.

“What do we have here?” , he casually said,
“Looks like this boy is gone
Yep, I’m afraid that he is dead

Guess something had gone wrong.

No hint of true emotion

He called on his radio

“Send the wagon , when you can

This boy’s ready to go.”

He asked me for my number
Took my name and my address
Said, that he would be in touch
Once they cleaned up this mess.

The Medical Examiner
Arrived, was on the scene
Forensics and detectives
The entire forensic’s team.

Before a crowd had gathered
I was chilled down to the bone
I walked away , all by myself
I was anxious to get home.
