Green meadows green hills yellow daffodils

June 13, 2026 

Green meadows
Green hills
Yellow daffodils
Laughter, love and smiles
Joy that lasts for miles
Romance dreamy free
Sang a song to me

Then reality returns
The fun fades away
The memory burns
Until my final day

Green meadows
Green hills
Yellow daffodils
Hand in hand 
Yesterday
Now I'm groping through the tears
Till there’s nothing left to say

Further up the Mountainside

April 26, 2026 


Talking doesn't make you any smarter
Spirits whisper when you're walking harder
Further up the mountainside
Moist and friendly dirt resides

A setting star pulls two along
A feeble path less trampled on
A doe a buck a friendly pine
A stony seat where two recline

Smell the dew
In walking shoes
With misty skies above
Pay your dues
And find the view
Where Earth returns your Love

You broke the rest of me too

February 22, 2026 






You didn’t just break my heart 
You broke the rest of me too
And then I spent a lifetime
Dreaming after you 

Hoping for somebody 
Exactly like you
You really felt like a vision
Too good to be true

You said I was fun
Instead of saying goodbye
You dismissed all my dreaming
In the breath of a sigh

I still know how to love
But I forgot how to fall
Another leap of faith
Could be the end of it all

she loves me like a penguin

				December 30, 2025

				

					












she knows everything about me 
and we've never even spoken 
if she ever stops following
everything will be broken

she loves me like a penguin
she always follows me around
she waves her little penguin wings
all over town

you know i've always had a notion
love is really just devotion
when she wiggles cross the ocean
she warms up the arctic night

she loves me like a penguin
and you know birdies mate for life
she loves me like a penguin
and penguin love is pretty nice

A little heaven big enough for two

				September 28, 2025

				

					












A funny movie on a rainy day
Things we’re feeling but we cannot say
 
I say goodbye to all the gloomy doom
Just by knowing that you're in the room

A gentle symphony of you and me
Dissolving into simple melody
Greatest beauty that could ever be

Like a fire on a frozen night
You bring the heat and keep it burning bright 

So many hurts and stings and scary things
Shelter me with all the love you bring

A gentle symphony of you and me
Dissolving into simple melody
Greatest beauty that could ever be

More contentment than I ever knew
A little heaven big enough for two

A gentle symphony of you and me
Dissolving into simple melody
Greatest beauty that could ever be

They can talk and they can talk

				June 21, 2025

				

					












You're my where 
You’re my why
You’re my supply 
You get me high 
Times are tough 
The well is dry
But we're gonna get by 

They can talk and they can talk
They’re lying
Up and down the block
They know we got everything
We don’t have to say a thing

Their bitter lives of misery
Don’t wanna know 
What they see
When they look at you and me
It’s what they’re never gonna be

They can talk and they can talk
They’re lying
Up and down the block
They know we got everything
We don’t have to say a thing

A Kitten’s Nursery Rhyme

				June 13, 2025

				

					
















In the vagaries of time 
When Al Green explores your mind 
Just a kitten’s nursery rhyme
Of a single chorus line 
Where the dancers hope to find 
Another dream of wealth and wine

All of the hippos at the zoo
Have got a pebble in their shoe
And the trickster’s happy crew
Is eating crocodile stew
The unicorns are dancing too
With a song that's just for you 

I found a refuge in your eyes
Refreshment under rainy skies
Where my stupidity is wise
You were too sweet to realize
Out of a world of better guys
You really thought I was a prize

by Richard W. Bray

It’s not that I don’t care but the pain is only there

				May 21, 2025

				

					

















don't ever 
say how i am feeling 
cuz i'm safer not revealing 
life is gonna hurt me
and the world is gonna 
dirt me

It's not that I don't care
But the pain is only there

the piano tried
to tell me
but i didn't wanna
smell me
swept it under the floor
cuz i couldn't
take any more

It's not that I don't care
But the pain is only there

so i'll open
up the door
just a little bit
not more
since you showed
me yours
and there isn't
keeping score

It's not that I don't care
But the pain is only there

You can’t go back to nothing even if you thought it was something

				March 5, 2025

				

					












You can't go back to nothing 
Even if you thought it was something

You can't resurrect
Something that was 
Never alive
I got myself wrecked
Too stupid to suspect
It was a lie
The dream 
I thought I had
Was so much worse 
Than bad
How could she ever
Love another guy?
 
You can't go back to nothing 
Even if you thought it was something

She stomped 
On my head 
Left my body 
For dead
Half frozen barely breathing 
In the snow 
That's when I knew 
The love 
I thought was true 
Was just 
A dilly dally 
Do-si-do 

You can't go back to nothing 
Even if you thought it was something

by Richard W. Bray
