As we come to our clothes
Whirls of wind test them
To the stands of time
Through each ones are mine
Suckle the last hours of bliss
Print off your clothes
and know it's a gift
Will everyone see you disrobe?
So naked and exposed
Screw it says the true writer
Content by clothes matters most
If you believe
Really believe
Must believe
With an only choice to believe
Than hand off your clothes 
Let fate offer the shows
Excited am I to see you nude
Or is that literary's rule of rude
To never really give clothes
And let freedom in creativity go where it goes

My Forever Bride
 
Wasn’t expecting such a surprise,
But then she caught my eyes;
Now my life’s rearranged,
My days and nights are all changed.

I’ll see her at two,
I know just what we’ll do;
Slip my hand around her waist,
Too long since our last embrace.

Pull her up next to me,
Go swimming in her sea:
As tight as a glove,
Intoxicated with her love.

I need her to stay,
This love can’t go away;
This girl will be my wife,
This woman is my life.

But Its Not About Me

I suppose it's not much
To look at me
I accomplish so little
But it's not about me
I just sit and fret
About you my precious Baby
It's all that I want
For your joy and stress not
My stomach so hurts
But it's not about me
I went to the store
To get my fav drink
The clerk had a fit
And made a big stink
He said I made a mess
A customer joined in
I plead it was the machine
But neither there heard me
They made me upset
I tried to defend
It just wasn't fair
But its not about me
I know I asked God
For my Baby's and others pain
All I can do
Remember that and breathe
I cry all the time
But it's not about me
I cry for shared joy
Maybe a bit lonely
I understand.
My baby's struggles
And fall to my knees
Working so hard to be
There for your needs
But it's not about me
Sometimes so upset with myself
At how weak I feel
All I want
Is my baby to be happy
I want nothing else
But its not about me
Just have you know, please
I'm always there for you
No place ever else
All I ever want to be
I'm so in love with you
That, my love
Is, forever about me...

Fire Flight

Steppin' up heat
So Cal surfer
Got my board and beat
Emblazoned with flames
The rain seems never ending
Gutter surf, my game
Set myself on fire
To light the way
Can't see
Tears and rain blinding
Mixed to remind me
This path is by feel
My super power, real
Your love fills and satiates me
Knocked down twice, thrice
A thousand times
More or less
Keep standing up
My life's lot
Man on fire
Loving you
I'll never, ever stop....

No One Wants To Know
 
We’re all alone, in a sea of faces, 
Knowing that no one will take our places, 
Going where no one wants to go, 
Knowing what no one wants to know, 
Brother, sister, father, son, 
Mother, daughter, all, no one, 
We put on a suit to hide who we are, 
With out who we were, we can not go far, 
Taught to do what must be done, 
There are some who think we all have fun, 
Leaving behind all that makes sense, 
To go play games over the fence, 
One moments peace, the next nightmare, 
We’re having a great time, alone over there, 
Never knowing what’s to come, 
A missing leg, a missing thumb, 
Over there for life, this eternity of days, 
The end could come in so many ways, 
The next time we go out, could be our last, 
Laughing about those times gone past, 
Looking around at those who return, 
Longing for home, that love, it does burn, 
Sorrowful happiness for those who come back, 
Looking around, I’ve got your back, 
The families left behind, alone, not knowing, 
What’s in store for those who are going, 
Impatiently awaiting the day all alone, 
When it is their soldier will come home, 
We’ll be welcomed home with arms held wide, 
While others wait, in the shadows they hide, 
They tell us there is no need for war, 
For all the violence, the blood, the gore, 
They don’t understand what it means to us, 
To hear ‘I love you’, with out all the fuss, 
Were it left up to us, we would not go, 
Knowing what no one wants to know.
