BITTER LOVE
Gloomily sitting by my drink I see,
A once true love that used to be,
There she sits, so feminine so sweet,
Her knees so close, her dainty feet,
So sensuous, so poised she sits,
Her shoulders bare, her shapely hips,
A glance comes up, to me she sees,
Then glancing down rejecting me,
Across the bar, her lover new,
Swaggers proud, so grand a view,
Sitting down beside what once was mine,
Their drinks he gently places down,
A blood red drink, not blood but wine,
And how I wish she still was mine,
Such pretty smiles from she I see,
So gracious, so kind and so genteel,
Then comes a thought, so fast, so quick,
That most sweet things, I tend to sip,
Have the tendency, to make me sick.

I Remember
I remember a time that was about innocence
a time when you could go to the movies for thirty-five cents
I remember
My eyes are being opened, I can now see
Once was blinded, by your apparent beauty
For so long, I couldn't see past
I was like a diamond,
In the bottom of the sea,
But I didn't sparkle,
Until you came to me.
Now, I feel so polished,
Your sunshine

CHANGE
Amid the uncertainties of earth, is change.
A moderator for the future.
A biographer of the past.
Real and inevitable.
