A collection of serious and
not so serious poetry/song lyrics I have written over the years.
TORMENT Will someone please buy my painting although it is no good If it had even one stroke of genius surely then they would Feeling unloved in this world is a full time job for me Living in reality with the knowledge that it's all just a fantasy I'm not a court jester I'm a walking contradiction in pain I'm not the clown you despise I'm a loving person you disdain If I looked through your eyes maybe I'd see things differently Yet if I saw through your eyes I'd see the torment you've given me Self pity is caused by people like you If only you knew the self loathing I do I could be a friend for life to anyone I've ever met but even one day as you're friend I'd probably always regret The love of power the love of money They are not for me As I love laughter and being funny As you can plainly see HOW BRAVE ARE YOU how brave are you to stand in the shadows content in your misunderstanding of all that you see laughing at loved ones you shun without them even knowing what they have done questioning every innocent move anyone makes that does not agree with your point of view completely and it all comes back to the hate you conceal which lays buried deep inside of you FOR JAMIE 1991 nineteen years old my nephew jumped out a seventh floor window laying in the snow no sense of the cold no sense of the selfish act he had committed as he bled inside and out we screamed and yelled and cried Jamie died and all the pain in his life was multiplied and handed over to us to deal with are hearts ripped out of our souls pain guilt confusion anger and finally forgiveness no cute rhymes could end this tragedy  PUZZLE OF LIFE putting pieces of a puzzle together so supreme looking for answers in all that you dream understanding more and overstating less guiding hands that heal, guiding hands that bless moments in time stand still waves of calmness envelop you until peacefulness takes its hold on you yet there is more work to do questions never answered answers never questioned making sense of nonsense so hard for you all 157 STITCHES Girl, you really hurt me The night you stabbed me in the back The pain was so intense and then everything turned black When I awoke you were nowhere in sight To leave me laying there in a pool of warm blood Man, that's just not right 157 Stitches Give or take a stitch 157 Stitches Sewing me back together inch by inch by inch I thought we were bosom buddies I thought we were lifelong chums but you've upset me so much Now my stomach's always aching for the love we once had and I'm addicted to Tums 157 Stitches Give or take a stitch 157 Stitches Sewing me back together inch by inch by inch 157 Stitches Leaves a rather nasty itch I once believed our friendship would last forever but the knife in the back was the final straw Maybe you didn't know but attempted murder isn't nice and it's also against the law 157 Stitches Give or take a stitch 157 Stitches Sewing me back together inch by inch by inch 157 Stitches Leaves a rather nasty itch 157 Stitches You goddamn bitch INTERNAL OUTRAGE In her hand a diamond In his hand dirt Exchanging vows of regret Love flows endlessly but only one way Time stands still forever more until the final goodbyes What love there was begins to decay as the truth seeps into all the lies SOMEDAY MY SHIP WILL COME IN someday my ship will come in where it has been all my life I do not know I do not care as long as it arrives before I die I'll sail off into the sunset in this beautiful boat with a little prayer for guidance so it damn well better stay afloat I will sail away far from here and now away from the stresses of this thing called life no more worries no more regrets leave behind all my sorrow not to mention all my debts ROOM OF FOOLS in a room full of fools I seem to fit right in with my stupid little hat and my stupid little grin all the other fools stare at me as they whimper quietly for attention and I can plainly see I belong here collecting my old age pension it was quite a life I led a gambler with no money always the know-it-all always so funny too busy playing the fool to worry about losing all the bets and if I regret anything now it's that I have no regrets staring at the walls in here brings back memories of a past I can't remember very well my life has crumbled to the ground as I sit here at the bottom basking in the darkness of my own living hell SALVATION the foundation of spirit is beyond the light it can be seen even in the darkness of night feel it in your heart and see it in your soul salvation of love is the only goal angels may appear to you in a moment of distress the beating heart holds all the truthfulness remember lies are deceit and torment is pain thunder is lightning and snow is rain merging together and falling apart the soul separates again from the heart dearly departed into the skies above all fear vanishes into final love prayers may go unheeded or so you think for what is a chain without a link smiles are forthcoming to all the sad faces on earth as time is at hand for the rebirth (story about this poem at my coincidences page here) COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN so cunning so deceitful yet so loving in a evil way the significance of loving you is torn apart with the words you say not much sense can be made out of words so strong everything turns out right but in the end is still wrong and the passion of lovers conceals hatred deep inside making love on a bed of nails and when the act is complete you crawl under the covers to hide HATRED You seem to know me quite well but your name my friend, doesn't ring a bell I suppose I could be rude with your abuse and tell you to go straight to hell but that isn't my style instead I will throw you some compassion and a smile I could forgive you but that seems so hokey and out of fashion perhaps when you were a little child something went terribly wrong and you can blame your mom or blame your dad or strike out at a stranger and get really mad but step over to the other side and you might see it's all really quite pathetic it's all really quite sad all this hatred you have must not be too good for your health where all this hatred came from I don't know but I'd love to know the source and I know that deep inside the nastiness there must be a touch of remorse even for a low-life like yourself ANTS IN MY PANTS there are ants in my pants oh the feeling so appealing i think i'll keep them there in my underwear running around in circles gasping for fresh air BONELESS In a shallow grave I fall within and dirt is kicked into the hole feverishly by all my friends and family until I'm covered up completely and start to lose consiousness above laughter fills the air even my dog sits nearby wagging his tail happily I giggle into the darkness as his favourite bone is buried along with me FALLING FOR YOU falling for you my secret love no one knows except for God up above and although our hearts are far apart our souls are always beating as one I will never abandon you, no never no matter what the future will hold you are mine forever as our separate lives unfold FROM NOW ON Day time Night time Any time Is when I will love you Here and now or later on Is when we'll fly away For you know in your heart I'll always have you in mine and forever always means Until the end of time Love today More love tomorrow More than you've ever known Long after eternity From now on In your lifetime You'll be next to me INSIDE slowly dying inside wanting to hide from the pain the pain that hurts so much I can't even feel it anymore in the fetal position for hours on end sucking on my thumb rolled up into a ball on the floor crying inside the tears collecting inside my heart never to be set free sadness will never part from the inside of me ISLAND OF PEACE stranded here on this hot desert island only three beers and me nothing much to do no one to talk to and I can't even watch t.v. and as the days slowly go by I quickly realize it is not as bad as I thought it would be in fits of boredom I soon developed a special way to communicate with myself and it has done wonders for my health hardly a word spoken in anger never a word left unsaid no arguments that lead to me not talking to myself in bed This solitude that has trapped me forever has finally set my soul free I love my new freedom and I enjoy the loneliness of my own selfish company IT WAS IN THE TOILET It was in the toilet It was not of this earth Maybe some alien had just given birth It's a big mystery how it got in there It was black and fermented and growing hair I tried to flush it but there was no way in hell It was bigger than a breadbox and boy, did it smell It made a strange noise a gurgling sound I looked for the plunger but it could not be found So I put on some gloves and grabbed it real quick I was very annoyed not to mention very sick The ending is gory and I just have to say I learned my lesson on this miserable, rotten day I shook it and shook it until it exploded into bits Never have grandpa over when he has the shits LOVE IS THE KEY You spew forth your hatred On a daily basis So numb to the possibility of what that incases You think everyone is ugly including yourself Take a good look in the mirror and then an even better look at your mental health I don't know where these words flow from and some of the rhymes might be dumb Yet they sure make a whole lot of sense to me unlike your flapping lips flaying in the wind With your paranoid illusions being heard constantly This is where I should lighten up a bit and do my regular comedy shit but I'm going to fool you all by not playing the fool I'm going to be sensitive, loving and thought provoking and I know that is so uncool Love is the key that will kill all the hate Love is the key so get yours before it's too late Love is the key that will always surround you Love is the key that will open the door and get you through MAN TO MAN lying beside you makes me so proud to be a man I can not sleep I can only weep knowing how much I love being with you instead of that bitchy creep it is truly the best being nuzzled against your masculine chest and we are not ashamed to show our feelings of mutual lust oh that hairy bust! and this precious moment in time will soon fade and you will be back in her arms listening to her constantly yap but that is okay for we are not gay we are just having a little nap MEMORY LANE walking down memory lane looking back at my past now I marvel at how all this time has gone by so fast and a snicker a chuckle a sigh or two is all I can think of to do for happily wasting away all the years loving you IN A DREAM I went for a ride in a dream I had Although I was scared to death the ride was not that bad There was a loving force with me for the ride Always with me a mysterious companion by my side I flew up to the stars and gazed down at the earth I saw my own death I witnessed my own birth I talked to strangers who I've always known I was all by myself yet I was not alone this dream was special not some kind of fantasy this dream was all about giving and this dream was given to me IN MEMORY OF PIXIE THE POODLE Dear Mom I've run away from home This time it's for good The other times were just practice runs I'll miss your home cooked meals not to mention my college funds Is Dad still mad at me? He didn't treat me very nice How many times do I have to say I'm sorry It was just an accident Running over the family dog twice God, it was gory Pixie's guts everywhere but you never heard the whole story When she barked I stepped on the brake Dad needs to calm down It was just a damn poodle for heaven's sake OLD MAN ON THE STREET all but forgotten as he walks down the busy street no one to give him a hug of compassion his coat is full of holes and thirty years out of fashion he stands at the corner where all his friends used to meet but they've all seemingly vanished and there is no one to greet his aching heart keeps pounding although he wonders why nothing to do as the days pass on except to stare for hours on end at God's beautiful sky and a glimpse of the uncaring people who keep on walking by SAFE Don't go here and don't go there Don't go anywhere Just stay in your home year after year Curled up in your favorite chair You feel so safe from the outside world and the hours go by and so do the days, months and years age gracefully and die, my love alone in your cocoon of fears the loneliness that haunts you is no one's fault but your own at least you are safe from all that could harm you on the outside of your home and I'd pity you if I had a reason to but the life you lead you chose yourself and there is no one to blame except you for your declining health A CREATIVE MIND Everyone said he had a creative mind but he always abused it His imagination knew no ends yet he seldom used it Sitting in his castle of despair Smoking up a storm Casually attired in his underwear For him this was the norm No goals to achieve No lovers to love No buttons to push No enemies to shove Lapsing into his daily coma with a cute little smile on his face So thrilled at the honor of not being part of the human race SWIMMING UPSTREAM swimming upstream in a panic again hoping this doesn't last as I am getting nowhere fast tired of the fight to stay alive even though deep inside I want to survive but I keep on falling back down Calling for help but no one hears Second by second my death nears When out of the blue a hand lifts my spirits and my strength returns in full force finally there is no more strife I know I will make it now I will reach the top somehow until I am gently pushed back into the rapids to struggle through another day of my life BREAKFAST AT THE INSTITUTION This game of lunacy The constant nervous shakes A lifetime of hardships surpassed by the daily struggle to eat my Corn Flakes Doctor Moore said I was insane and I needed a long vacation Now I sit here in a corner talking to myself and I rarely disagree with the conversation I'll get out of this demented place No matter what it takes I am normal as can be except for all the nightmares about Corn Flakes I am not the least bit crazy Just ever so slightly bent The sledgehammer my wife had used barely made a dent My smile quickly turns to a frown As I am strapped into my seat Mouth gagged and hands tied down Damn, these Corn Flakes are hard to eat THEATER OF DEATH Death the final trip out to pasture shown film of your life no color black and white and grainy as hell you sit all alone as the projectionist has left the building he was your only friend watching all the misery called your life knowing the film will never end constantly being blamed for things that are not your fault death the final curtain the final insult THE LIFE I LEAD oh, the life I lead you would not believe the women surrounding my well sculptured body the things they say and do always so naughty oh the life I lead you'd be full of jealousy the beautiful ladies wearing next to nothin' I guess that's why they call me the Canadian Studmuffin and then the dream ends as suddenly as it had begun reality hits I'm no Don Juan it's back to reality and the end of all my fun ALONE A deadly silence fills the house that once was our home I sit here motionless staring at the bare walls alone No wife to love No kids to cherish No dog to pet The last few days I'm trying so hard to forget Anger fills my soul but I leave enough room for regret I blame myself and no one else for this heart with a gaping hole all alone forever more just me my memories and this rotting floor THE SOCK SONG I'm taking my socks off just for you I know there is nothing sexier that I could do I could buy you flowers but some day they would die I could say that I love you yet I don't want to see you cry So I'm taking off my socks one by one not pulling the wool over your eyes I know we're going to have some fun You don't have to do anything Just sit there and enjoy the show If you're feeling kind of kinky maybe later you can tickle my toe THE BOAT In the middle of the ocean Stranded on a leaking boat Giving up on life Giving up on hope Yet deep within my soul Stir emotions to survive I will not go down without a struggle I want to stay alive I thrash and splash and kick and scream And pray that this is all a bad dream yet this is not a dream this is reality and all I can see now is the water closing in on me IMAGINATION imagine having an imagination and you could go anywhere close your eyes relax and just use your mind and soon you are there you could go wherever your thoughts take you travel back into time or into a future unseen or stay right where you are and dream up a dream do you have an imagination? maybe you are too busy living your daily grind perhaps you would enjoy a bit of fantasy just use a little bit of imagination and you will see the wonders of your wondrous mind
