WE,THE PEOPLE

Where do I fit in this picture
thought I am,
WE THE PEOPLE
yet, seems every body
including Iraq, Iran, Israel,
the whole world, seems
more important than me.
 
Where do I fit in this scene
watching money flow freely
while I am being told I am not
qualified.
 
Oh, need I be a liar like some who
embezzle and plan unlawful stuff
or might I need to help write a drug bill
which does not allow my government to
negotiate with companies to save
WE THE PEOPLE money on drugs.
 
Where do I fit in this picture? I am an
outsider here in my home.
I call my government and the message
tells me to push #1 if I speak English.
Why do "I" need to push buttons?
Thought I was WE THE PEOPLE.
 
Find so many obstacles when I need help
Told me I had to wait while WE THE PEOPLE
help establish a working democracy in Iraq.
I must wait till my neighbors recover from their
trips to Iraq while they keep their fingers crossed
in not being victims of that back door draft
and ordered to return. 
 
When I take the recent veteran to the hospital
to get help for ailments since returning home
he is told its in his mind.
Boils and blisters on his skin are mental?
Is there something wrong with my eyes too?
This is how we support the troops?
Where is WE THE PEOPLE?
 
Have we buried our heads behind an image
which no longer exist or closed our eyes
to the reality which we live under?
Has terrorism put scabs on our hearts
misdirecting our senses?
Where are WE THE POEPLE?

Need No New Face

You need no new face

nor not one change a new.

This wild internet space

never seen the likes of you.

 

Suave, you say or

a bit sexy is right.

Already past par

a dream in the night.

 

Bring on your angst

just speak out your pain.

While you are being frank

I'll be back again and again.

 

You always pleased

never less than a chick.

You are a natural tease

more so than some sex flick.

 

Methinks you cheat us

being so overly concerned.

You removed scabs from the rust

where sensuality burns.

 

You seem to tangle up

too much of what is but ain't

Didn't understand a lovin cup

so little confidence you can't.

 

But might I say you remain

so far above any other's best.

You have trouble when I explain

you always far exceed the rest.

 

No need in getting a new face

as sweet as can be as is now.

Hoping you allow the grace being

who you are, honestly, somehow.

As When I Searched The Depths Of You

Oh, Angel Girl, be my angel again
toss out the crud of life and live
as if the world hugged you for you
and the love and passion you can give.

Allow the salacious bubble to rise
as when I searched the depth of you.
Found precious caresses and feelings
pouring love like a dam broke thru.

Let me wrap my arms around you
allowing the passion to soak within.
Stroke up and enliven your soul
as if passion fire were sin.

For, if only a moment, let me reach
the core of your being you hide.
Take a chance to again float
and let all the senses take a ride.

Like waiting  in a field of orchids
or tulips in the breeze a sway.
Tender are the wonderings
I always wished I could say.

Stand tall, you wonderous woman
let the pain spill on a free fall.
Let the angst of life flutter on by
allow your self a momentous ball.

Whats wrong with sharing passions
or stroking again a mental kiss.
Damn, damn sweet thang
you so draw me in like this.

Forgive my directness
if it steps too hard on your toes.
But you gotta feel my wantings
is what all of us want and knows.

Take this hug I'm sending
wrap it round real tight.
And when you are lonesome
whisper for me at night.

To my friend Angel who is suffering with the Blues.

Hey Man, Why You Questioning Me

Hey man, why you questioning me

cause I've loved a woman since eternity.

You pout cause my woman loves me back

thru life's hell and any sort of lack.

 

Just as if we squeezed thru a hole

slipped away from the crowd like a mole.

Ignored all those studies bout how to live

count on each other in sharing what we give.

 

Hey man, you gotta let her know

no matter what, she's the star of the show.

Never bring home the crap from work

and act like frustrated yelling jerk.

 

Make sure you keep passions alive

none of that later or headache jive.

Be creative in how you let her know

she is special to you where ever you go.

 

Never ever put her down in front of another

or publically let anyone see you frown.

Always make her feel like a queen

if she's wearing a gown or cut off jeans.

 

Make sure to keep in mind she

has wants and needs many won't see.

You must always show appreciation 

for who she is and all that satiation.

 

Hey man, why you complain to me

cause your woman don't respond friskly.

Maybe you take her forgranted and ignore

too much of what she adores.

 

Always make sure to show her respect

or for sure your relationship is wrecked.

You must forever take time to hear

not let her words blow by your ear.

 

And don't you dare forget to date her

treat her like the other woman in fur.

Send her candy with little notes

then you'll find stuff she wrote.   

 

Make her smile at you and she'll beam

continuously as if to split a seam.

In return you'll have a real lover up close

a friend and more romance than most.

 

So, what the hell you questioning me for

I ain't gonna act like you are, man.

I'm going home to my Sweet Thang

totting these flowers in my hand.

Fishing and Communing

One catfish came home with me
the others wait for another day
but I so appreciate its presence
when things work out this way.

Alone it makes a good meal
but it needs to be shared
Frozen in the freezer till another
from the lake can be spared.

It is part of my rejuvenation
the nature show never grows old.
Like reaching out to you
it jump starts my very soul.

So serene the water lies
a cool breeze blew in on me.
Fish, geese, furry mammals
roamed about quite cheerfully.

I cast a lure in the placidness
watched ripples fade away.
I'm sure I missed a few bites
but I had such a pleasant day.

Even the knowledge
you were just off beyond
felt magical to my emotions
as if you waved a magic wand.

Went fishing and communing today
rebuilt my soul engine's delight
Can rest in peace and quiet refrain
and sleep thru out the night.

You Might Not Conceive

You have no idea the flavor
I see and taste from you.
When I let my mind wander
you are there thru and thru.

You might not conceive
how the want of you can last.
Like a chocolate eclair
or wine in a crystal glass.

You have no idea the limits
you take my mind's array
or how much we share within
thru the hours of the day.

I wear you like a crown
my sweet and sultry Queen
for all the passions visited
the most I've ever seen.

You strike chords galore
and smile me a bright day.
While forever drifts on along
I hold you special in my way.

Often you are but a sigh
a delicious dream come true.
While my life meanders on
it always includes you.
