with a handful of love and a sliver of hope

January 22, 2017

zzhopeinastorm

Huge and horrible things
Happen every day
I won’t try and hide
I won’t look away

Keeping it together
And trying to cope
With a handful of love
And a sliver of hope

I won’t give in
I won’t be torn apart
By the greed and hate
And anger in my heart

Keeping it together
And trying to cope
With a handful of love
And a sliver of hope

Walking up a hill
I’ll walk till I drop
The walk is all I got
Won’t ever reach the top

Keeping it together
And trying to cope
With a handful of love
And a sliver of hope

Pigeonhole

January 20, 2017

zzzthumbdown

You don’t know my life
You don’t know my story
Don’t try and put me
In a category

You rag on everybody
That you ever knew
Thinking up ways
They ain’t as good as you

I ain’t hanging round
To hear you talk smack
You slander and smear
Behind everybody’s back

You rag on everybody
That you ever knew
Thinking up ways
They ain’t as good as you

There’s a million things about me
You’re never gonna know
Don’t try and stick me
In your pigeonhole

You rag on everybody
That you ever knew
Thinking up ways
They ain’t as good as you

The best part of my day

January 15, 2017

zzahsmile

The best part of my day
Is your smile

And your grace and your glamour
And your style

The best part of my day
Is your smile

Your countenance
Lights up a country mile

The best part of my day
Is your smile

Reminding me that
Life can be worthwhile

The best part of my day
Is your smile

And your laughter and your
Voice that beguile

The best part of my day
Is your smile

So won’t you set and
Visit for a while?

And then you blew it

January 4, 2017

zzblew-it

You had your chance
And then you blew it

A precious soul
Who loved you true
Lord only knows
What made you do it
There ain’t no hope
For fools like you

You had your chance
And then you blew it

All your contrition
Don’t mean squat
You got a lifetime now
To rue it
Ain’t gonna get
A better shot

You had your chance
And then you blew it

Thought you could find
Some greener grass
She was perfect
And you knew it
No one can help
Your sorry ass

I hate her most when she’s not there

December 31, 2016

zzheartbroke

Started to date her
Till she said “see you later”
I wasn’t even a skater
And now I really hate her

I hate her smile
I hate her smell
I hate the stories
She would tell

She found a new guy
Before she even said “bye”
Never ever said why
But I ain’t gonna cry

I hate her style
I hate her grace
I hate her
Stupid little face

Her love was misleading
My heart took a beating
And my insides are bleeding
But you won’t see me pleading

I hate her voice
I hate her hair
I hate her most
When she’s not there

Man Enough for Me

December 29, 2016

Great Spirit — give to me
A Heaven not so large as Yours,
But large enough — for me

Emily Dickinson

He cooks me eggs
When I wake up
He never needs
To act tough
He just feeds the family
That’s Man enough
For me

He’s home for supper
Every night
He loves the kids
And treats em right
Isn’t really hard to see
He’s Man enough
For me

He don’t write sonnets
To sing my praise
He warms my night
And fills my days
Always keeps me company
That’s Love enough
For me

It works until it doesn’t

December 23, 2016

xxdenial

Cigarettes and alcohol and rage
Propel your injured soul
From day to day

It works until it doesn’t
And suddenly you’re old
It works until it doesn’t
Till the center cannot hold

Your back-stabs and your lies
Spur you till you slip
On the blood you left behind

It works until it doesn’t
All the stories that you told
It works until it doesn’t
Till the center cannot hold

Calm won’t still the storm
Surrounded by dysfunction
Deception kept you warm

It works until it doesn’t
And you can’t keep out the cold
It works until it doesn’t
Till the center cannot hold

glad that I met you

December 11, 2016

xxlovehappy

I’m hitting on all cylinders
My calls are going through
I’m in the zone
I’m not alone
I’m glad that I met you

I just hit the jackpot
Time to knock on wood
I’m in the groove
I made my move
And things are looking good

I’m taking on all challengers
My ship is in the bay
I’m on a roll
I reached my goal
Today’s my lucky day

My lucky streak keeps growing
I’m hotter than July
I wrote the book
I’m off the hook
You said that I’m your guy

Abelard and Héloise are Dead

December 7, 2016

zzabelard

Abelard and Héloise are dead
It doesn’t really matter what they said
Get your pretty face out of that book
Nature got a need for us to cook

Juliet and Romeo ain’t real
We can vanquish love like it’s a meal
Ravish and devour me till dawn
Live the life we got until it’s gone

Helena and Paris stole away
That’s what you and me should do today
Spirit me away in dark of night
Enchant me in delirious delight

Mark Antony and Cleo had their time
So we should make the most of yours and mine
Living blood is scorching through our veins
Let’s drink each other up just like Champagne

All Your Fussin’ and Your Cursin’

December 4, 2016

xnag

You know I hate to whine
But that man disrupts my mind
Told him fifty-seven times
That side is yours and this is mine

You can pray and you can plea
But that’s his personality
All your fussin’ and your cursin’
Won’t make him another person

He never hears when I complain
That man just lives to give me pain
He plays sports but he can’t aim
My man is just a walking stain

You can pray and you can plea
But that’s his personality
All your fussin’ and your cursin’
Won’t make him another person

What did I ever do
To deserve a man you you?
You’re such a lazy fool
I think your ass is made of glue

You can pray and you can plea
But that’s his personality
All your fussin’ and your cursin’
Won’t make him another person
