Hold On To The Vision

                 Hold On To The Vision

If We Hold On To The Past We May Slip Back Into It

Let Go Of What You Thought Would Last

And Cling To The Realm Of The Spirit

Let Me Learn To No Longer Be So Selfish

A Peaceful Spirit Sharing Happiness

Let Me Share With You My Wish

That You Too God May Bless

Breathe In The Inspiration

For You Know That Love Is The Answer

Worthy Of Your Devotion

As Love Is The Strongest Emotion

Only You Know The Vision Of Your Future

You're Welcome To Come And Smell The Flowers

And If You Enjoy The Scent

Thank Your Higher Power

I Once Thought Sobriety Would Be A Hard Job

But It Turned Out To Be A Blessing In Disguise

For I've Come To Enjoy My Sobriety

Living Life , Instead Of Living A Lie

We Share The Spirit Of Understanding A 

Fellow Alcoholic Like No One Else Can

We Are Never Going To Be Damning

For We're Here To Lend You A Helping Hand

Yes , We Were Once In Your Shoes

But We Now Know We Share A Common Disease

So Let Us Show You , One Day At A Time

There Is A Life And A Daily Reprieve

So Let Us Plant Some Seeds

That We May Help A Fellow Human Being

For What Was So Freely Given To Me

Was To Me So Worth Receiving !

When I Go To A Meeting I Feel I'm Part Of 

Something Bigger And Better Than Myself

Perhaps A Tribe Of Peace Makers

Regaining Our Mental Health

Peace Of Mind Is What We Longed To Find

And We Found It Here With Our Friends

We Now Live Our Lives In A New Design

Praying Our Sobriety May Never End

So Hold On To The Vision

A Vision For Me And You

I Believe We've Made A Wise Decision

Lord , Let Us Remain Sober Until Our Time Is Through

Amen.....

                     My September Feeling

Summer Slips Slowly Away Into Septembers Spell

           Such A Beautiful Day To Be Alive

Autumn Is Now Upon Us , And I'm Feeling Well

      Yes , My September Feeling Has Arrived

Now We Watch The Leaves On The Outstretched

Arms Of The Shedding Tree Turning The Seasons

Colors ,Pale Orange , Dirty Brown And Autumn Gold

Now The Day Light Sleeps A Little Earlier

As The Autumn Breeze Starts Growing Cold

It's A Pleasant Evening For A Moonlit Walk Tonight

Holding My Pretty Lovers Hand

As The Moon And Stars Share Their Light

We Watch The Breeze Remove The Leaves

And Watch As They Fall To The Ground

See The Sky Through The Naked Trees

And Below Our Feet , The Leaves Crunching Sound

Did You See The Moon Last Night ?

Sharing The Western Sky

Hiding Within The Clouds

Bidding The Summer Good Bye

You And I And A Piece Of September Sky

As We Walk Along This Winding Road

Still Searching For Where Our Destiny Lies

And Where Our Fortunes Are Told

So On And On , The World Still Spins

Another Season Passes Us Bye

My September Feelings Now Begin

So South The Birds Fly

Gracing Gods Beautiful Sky

So To Another September Morning

We Are Blessed To Arise

Let Love Be Our Guide

For On This September Day

My September Feeling

Makes Me Feel Blessed To Be Alive.....

           Sweet Little Angel

  Got Me A Sweet Little Angel

      You Look Oh So Sweet

 I'll Bet Your Name Is Candy

Baby , You're Sweet Enough To Eat

I'm Foolishly Foolin'  With A Foxy Lady

She Says She Wants To Share Her Treats With Me

She Says "Tonight You're Mine Baby"

"And I'm Gonna Drive You Crazy"

She's Touching Me With Her Eyes

We're Sharing Our Emotions

It Came As No Surprise

She Brought Her Lovers Potion

Sweet , Sweet Love

On Me Love Is Raining Down

From The Heavens Above

In Her Sweet Love , I Would Drown

So Give Me Another Kiss , My Foxy Lover

Let Us Lie In The Mornings Light

Since I've Found You , I've No Need For Another

For You Are My One And Only Delight

My Heart Is Yours , If You Choose It To Be

My Tears Wouldn't Rain

They Would Pour

If You Said You Didn't Love Me

Got Me A Sweet Little Angel

Her Touch Sets Me Free

Her Kiss Drives Me Crazy

So Kiss Me On The Cheek

I Say This Is Love

So Let It Be

It's You I'm Dreaming Of

Never Set Me Free

Step Inside My Dream

Never Go Away

Be Mine Forever

Until Our Dying Day.....

My Sweet Little Angel.....

Sept. 13 2020

                Broken

No Enlightenment Shall Ever Be Found

Here In The Shadow Of The Snake

Within The Circle Round

Or Even At The Edge Of Faith

Don't Stare To Long Into The Eyes Of A Liar

For Their Intentions May Be Blasphemous

Don't Stand To Close To The Fire

For It May Turn Your Desires

The Aztecs Fed The Sun

With A Still Beating Heart

Keeping The Seasons On The Run

Seeing Visions Of Armageddon

Will The Rise Of Destructive Beings

Try To Force Us Into Extinction

Or Shall We Die By Our Own Hand

For Love We Certainly Do Not Understand

Is There No Way To Cleanse The Earth

Of All Of It's Evil Madness

Tell Me , What Is Life Worth

When Every Day Is Filled With Sadness

We've Taken Our World For Granted

Soon It Will Be Lost Forever

Beautiful Flowers , Seeds We Once Planted

For Our World Was Once Enchanted

With God In The Equation

We May Stand A Half A Chance

Human Beings Emancipation

From The Devils Last Dance

If Beings From Another Galaxy Were

Observing Us , What Would They Think ?

Here We Are Killing Each Other

Another Civilization On The Brink

We Have War Zones Within Every Nation

As If Killing Each Other Is Our Goal

They're Probably Wondering If We

Human Beings Even Have A Soul

Our Peace Lies In Pieces

For Mankind Is Broken

As Another Gun Shot Breaks The Silence

So I Shall Now Share My Thesis

I Feel That Mankind Is Truly Broken

Tell Me , Will We Ever Stop The Violence ?

Sept. 17 2020 

       When I Look Into Your Eyes

        When I Look Into Your Eyes

               I Can See Eternity

            With You , Only You

              Our Love Is Alive

              Our Love Is True

            I Never Meant To Hurt You

I Just Couldn't Bear To Watch Our Love Die

   Please Believe Me , You Know It's True

         I Never Wanted To See You Cry

Another Like You Will I Ever Find

You'll Always Be My Best Friend

You've Always Treated Me So Kind

   Please Tell Me It's Not Our End

   In The Back Of My Mind

     I Just Can't Let You Go

 It's Nothing New You'll Find

You Know I Still Love You So

     After All These Years

        I Find I Love You

    Even More Than Before

If Ever Again I Make You Cry

     I Will Dry Your Tears

 So I'm Yours Forever More

When I Look Into Your Eyes

        I Can See Eternity

      With You , Only You

        Our Love Is Alive

        Our Love Is True.....

          Sept. 20 2020

There's No Need To Be Alone

Do You Feel The World Casting Doubt

On All You Have Have To Say ?

How Do You Cope With Your Sickness ? 

Do You Feel As I Do ?

Or Do You Deny Your Disease Away ?

Did You Know That Talking To Somebody

Could Change Your Opinion Of Things ?

It Could Change Your Life

It Could Change Everything

For I Have An Intimate Story To Share

And May I Also Share My Empathy

And You May Find That Others Will Also Care

Now Let's Let Go Of Our Self Pity

Life Was Once So Dark For Me

I Could Barely Face Tomorrow

My Destructive Premise

Led Me To The Edge Of My Days

Falling Deeper Into Sorrow

Was The Mistake I'd Almost Made

A Distant Voice Told Me

Don't Be A Coward , Don't Be Afraid

You Could Also Say A Prayer

When You're Lacking Power

I Know That Helped Me

In My Darkest Hour

So You Don't Need To Dance On The Edge

As I Had Once Done

Find A Friend You Can Really Trust

Make That Friendship Next To None

We All Need Someone We Can Depend On

So Take A Look At That Beautiful Person 

Staring Back At You In The Mirror

Connect Your Feelings With Another 

Human Being

Protect Yourself From Fear

And Ask Yourself , If Seeing Is Believing

So Now You Know You're Not Alone

Believe It Or Not

Some People Do Like To Help People

And Remember , 

There's No Need To Be Alone

Sept. 25 2020

   Death Is No Good

I Feel It Every Morning

The Spiritual Force Of Nature

      Reaching Out To Me

  Every Morning The Dawn

 Welcomes My Naked Soul

     So As The Sun Rises

I Say A Prayer Of Thankfulness

For The Love And Trust And All

That The God Of The Universe

Shall Provide

I Love The People In My World

More Than They Will Ever Know

I Used To Have A Hard Time

Letting My Feelings Show

So Within My Prayers

I Ask God To Help Me Grow

And Pay More Attention

To The Seeds I Sow

So Why Is It Our Planet

Is Being Turned Into A Battlefield

Why Can't We Get Along With 

Each Other

Let Not Our Love Be Concealed

Let's Try To Act As Sisters And 

Brothers

We Could Share The Earth Peacefully

Even If We Pray To A Different Deity

If Only We Could Share A Positive Energy

We Might Share A Positive Society

However Our World Is Full Of Haters

Who Would Rather Shoot Each Other

Than Try To Work Out Their Differences

Why Would We Want To Help Out Our Brother

A Cold Blanket Of Sorrow Falls Upon Our World

As Another Shot Rings Out In The Night

A River Of Blood Runs Down The Street

As Another Bullet Takes Another's Life

Why Are Guns Even Legal ?

"The Law" Doesn't Even Know 

How To Handle Them

It's A Big Power Trip To Pull The Trigger

Like Those In Jail , Guns Should Be Condemned

As Long As Guns Are On The Street

We Can Watch The Murder Rate Climb

The Gangsters Will Never Admit Defeat

And The Trigger Happy Police Will 

Have No Problem Crossing The Line

Such A Sick Society We Live In

Remember The Sixties ?

All We Wanted Was Love And Peace

Now The Tables Have Turned

Hatreds Been Released

As The American Flag Burns

So Once Again History Repeats Itself

And Again The Black And White Clash

And Black Lives Matter Only To 

Those Who Are Black

So Let's Loot Our Own Neighborhoods

For Honest Peoples Cash

For In Their Black Minds

It's Only Logic They LACK !!

So Here We Are , Haven't We Gotten Far

Another Shooting At The Green Line

In The Black Neighborhood

Here We Be Again

Spilling Some Mo Innocent Blood

No Matter Yo Color

Death Is No Good !!!

Yall Be Lackin In Yo Neighborhood !!!

Sept. 22 2020

            A Thought In A Dream

I Awake In The Middle Of The Night

With A Rhyme Wandering Around My Head

Searching For The Light

As I Fall Out Of Bed

Will I Remember My Rhyme

In The Twilight Of My Unconscious State

Hidden In The Back Of My Mind

Within My Dreams , In The Hours Of Late

My Thoughts Flow Through My Dreams

I Write Them Down So That Someday

They May Mingle With Your Conscience

Someday You'll Feel What They Mean

For My Words Shall Capture The Essence

My Mistress Of The Morning Lies In Waiting

As Beautiful As This Mornings Sunrise

Like The Song I'm Creating

It Just May Bring Tears To Your Eyes

Please Don't Feel Sorry For Me

For I'm Just Doing What I Love

Writing My Words For Thee

And The Whole World To Read

Someday You'll Feel What They Mean

For My Words Shall Capture The Essence

Once Just A Thought In A Dream

Now A Captivating Presence.....

Sept. 29 2020..... 

              Was My Soul Saved ?

I'm Entering A Very Dark And Empty Space

I Will Not Atone For My Sin

Therefore I Shall Suffer A Death Of Shame

So Let It Begin

Here In The Darkness , Downward I Fall

To Insanity I Am Enslaved

For Me A Darkened Destiny Calls

My Soul Will Not Be Saved

My Spirit Will Not Sleep This Night

For My Wicked Soul Is Stained

I Will Never Know Of Gods Delights

I'm Afraid It's Christ I've Betrayed

My Spirit Will Never Sleep

My Eternity Will Be Spent All Alone

No Promises I Keep

For I Own A Heart Of Stone

Desperate , Despised And Full Of Lies

Poison Flows Through My Veins

My Wrong Doing , I Will Deny

To Many , I Was The Cause Of Pain

So Here I Will Wait In The City Of The Dead

I Feel The Cold Flowing Through My Veins

A Woman Handed Me A Flower

And Asked Me If My Soul Was Saved.....

             Written Long Ago.....

              Real Me

Wandering Through The Clouds

Slipping Away From Gravity

Crossing A Bridge To Nowhere

Questioning My Sanity

I Reach Out , No One Listens

My Cries Go Unheard

My Tears Are Lost In The Distance

Concealed Within My Sad Words

Should I Wake Up Tomorrow

Can I Face Another Day 

I Can No Longer Face The Sorrow

As Our Love Slowly Fades Away

My Voice Is Stuck In My Throat

As My Thoughts Spin Around

Within My Sickened Mind

I Think Of All The Words I Once Wrote

Shall I Just Leave It All Behind ?

Flowing Through My Complicated Conscience

Vile Thoughts Creep Up On Me

And I Don't Think You Want To See

Whats Become Of The Real Me.....
