ALONE
By yours truly
Local Talent
When William Shakespear wrote his poems
I wonder if he too ,felt so alone
Alone ,as he wakened with tear filled eyes
His man instilled pride,trying to stifle his cries
Alone in the dark ,as he reached out to you
When no words returned,his heart broken in two
Alone every moment ,when you are away
Alone every night,Alone every day
Alone in his heart,in this the same way
For his sake i hope not,for his sake i pray
For my sake ,saying ,I LOVE YOU
In hope that you feel the same way too
Selfish though my heart might be
I could love you soooooooo much
If you just could love me
Til than Alone ,ever more shall i be
ALONE ,ALONE
Til you give love to me !
"With all my heart and soul"
I LOVE YOU ......

I took a little trip last night
Acoss a stormy Sea
But even though
So hard she blowed
It don't scare "Cap'n Me"
I held stead fast
And the storm did last......
Forever it seemed to be
Til MOM came in
And said
"ALRIGHT!"
......
And pulled the plug on me
ARGHHH !
{I was gonna clean it up MOM !}
Sail On

A BEAUTIUL HEART
The more hurt and pain you have gone thru in life, the stronger and morebeautiful your heart will be.....
One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley.
A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart.
Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces missing.
The people stared. How can he say his heart is more beautiful?? they thought. The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears."
"Yes," said the old man, "Yours is perfect looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love - I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges - giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?"
The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands.
The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.
The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his.
They embraced and walked away side by side.

I've walked along the boardwalks
With my pistol on my side
With more respect than fear for men
A cowboys sense of pride
COLORADO COLORADO
Rocky Mountain High
Where Cowboys live
And Cowgirls Love
And sometimes Cowboys die
And as the sunlight greets the Morn'
MUCH the work at hand
It's still a way of living here
This life we hold so grand
MAJESTIC are the Mountains
Beneath the cool blue skies
As AWESOME are the flowers
In the Meadows As they rise
A place for raising children
And teach them right from wrong
A place that makes your heart sing so
A great man wrote her song
{John Denver: Rocky Mountain High}
So here would i invite you
To come and rest and play
Where neighbors still are neighborly
Adventures bound each day
A walk along a moonlit trail
A campfire in the night
The laughter of the children
And their smiles so warm and bright
A place you'd wanna hang your hat
When morning turns to night
A place that we call home my friends
Beneath the the sunlit sky
WELCOME HOME !

She slid silently past
Not a creak nor a sigh
Her Sails hung in rags
As we watched her slip by
With 'ere naugh sound
Nor a word from their lips
OH DOOMED be the Sailors
Aboard the Ghost Ship
Me eyes on her Cap'n
A hearty salute
His eyes glowed like embers
And shiny his boots
So eerie the feelin'
I thought we may die
That night on the Sea
When the Ghost Ship passed by
I thought to mesef.......
Could we possibly win
As chills ran me spine
At his skeletal grin
NOT LOOKIN' FER TROUBLE
I heard mesef say....
But if ye try to board us
With swords shall ye pay
I let out a sigh
As he turned her away
With two simple words from his lips.............
STAY AWAY !
..........................
.................
HARD TA PORT !
MAKE HASTE THE SAILS !........
STEER AWAY NOW AND BRING ME YON HORIZON !

Kitty cat kitty cat
What do you do
When we are away
And the kids are at school
Back into mischief
Of this i am sure
Inquisitive prowess
For which there's no cure
Up on the shelf
Knock over the tree
Going the places
You're not s'posed to be
But when we come home
You stand by our feet
With innocent eyes
Expecting a treat
Than RUN....RUN away
When you know we have seen
To hide in some corner
In case we are "Mean"
But back in a moment
When you think we forgot
Sometimes your sure nosy.............
But we Love you a LOT !
HERE KITTY KITTY !

The Sky is raining teardrops
With sympathy for my red swollen eyes
The Sun it burns my face
Like the arrid winds of a desert storm
The Moon it blushes with sorrow
For the teardrops that i cry
The Wind it will not blow
For it exists to speak your name
The Ocean tides can't rise
For they rise only to reach your glory
The Love inside my heart
Only loves 'cause you exist
The Birds won't sing
'Cause they don't care
Without your beauty here to compell them
The Flowers will not bloom
For they know that you're not here
AND TIME only moves on
In the hope that I might find you
So every day will I endlessly search
Til that magical moment i find you!
WHERE ARE YOU LOVE ?
With all my heart and soul

It's a lovin' thing
This thing you do
And to your heart
You must be true
As they kick and snort
And buck and whirl
YOU keep 'em safe
...those Cowboys an' Girls
When the Bull comes out
Such risks you take
With such skill you must try
Not to make a mistake
So with courage you charge
When a Cowfolk goes down
Protecting their lifes
AWESOME Rodeo Clown
{GO SMILEY !...
Show that Bull who's boss!}
Though the butt of the joke
When at night they've forgot
Who keeps them safe
When their britches are hot
You just give them that smile
Reply with a joke
You love so deeply......
Those Rodeo Folk
So here's a cheer Smiley
Just for you
And for ALL the clowns
Who do what you do
For the risks that you take
And the lifes that you save
With your nobel heart
And your courage so brave
It wouuldn't be a RODEO
Not without YOU
For the laughs that you bring
And the things that you do
For the risks that you take
and the lifes that you save
...As you put yourself out there
SO nobel and brave
YOu're the envy of a Cowboys eye
And the love of Mom
And apple pie
And the DEEPEST love
In a Cowgirls heart
And the job that you do......
A real work of art
Be careful now Smiley
Don't get yourself hurt
As you make it look fun
To roll in that dirt..........

CAP'N WHO

He sits and stares
Across the sea
As if lookin' for something
I know not whut it be
Yet everyday i come to find
Again thar he sits
But the old man is blind....
Whut compells him as he sits thar
Starin' off ta sea
From his old wooden chair
The loves he has known.
The love he has found..
Though age creeps on slowly
Hearts fire can't be drowned...
The Mist of the Ocean
The smell of the sea
And somewhere out thar.....
His Destiny
I ventured one day
To spend just a few
A talkin' between us....
Just us two........
He talked of his darin'
He spoke of his crew
As i listened intently
NAUGHT else could i do
Than he turned to me
As he spoke of Love True
She's out thar somewhere Lad
Ye know it be true
So if i don't make it
Ye know whut to do.....
DELIVER ME MESSAGE....
I'm a countin' on you
Tell her i spent
Me Whole life on this sea
To find her embrace
I know NOT where she be......
...............
I turned as i heard a rufflin' of sails
A MIGHTY ship sailin'
Straight up through the swells
I turned back to notice
The old man was pale
His spirit had left him
He'd spun his last tale
........................
But as i turned back.....
I was held in AWES grip
For thar stood The Cap'n
In her arms ...on the ship !
...As they sailed away
I knew it be true...
I'd had the honor a knowin'.....
The GREAT....CAP'N WHO !......
...May ye sail on a sea a love
................Eternally !
