Footprints . . .

. . . in the sand 

". . . smiles won't be denied.

Everything is cool in 21842. . . 

In Ocean City . . . "

Cad . . .

"her adulterous cad of a husband"
Cad

Whenever you call me
And I’m not on the phone,
If you have a problem
And you find me at home,
You know you can
Count on me that much.

If you said you need me,
Just a couple days, I’m there.
I’ll drop what I’m doing
If it’s something I don’t care about
You can count on me that much.

Ours is just like one of those fairytales.
Ours is just like one of those shows. 
One thing bout our love that’s different;
It’s not a love that grows.

I’ll always be with you
When there’s nothing else to do.
When everyone’s busy
There’ll be only me and you.
It’s clear you can count on me that much.

Would you say it’s all you’ve been hoping for?
Would you really prefer something new?
Where else would you get this much
Attention devoted to you?

So don’t think you’re not special.
You’re kind of special to me.
There’s no one else like you.
Well maybe there’s just two or three.
Be sure you can count on me that much.


That Much

Unashamed . . .

Should every man yield to the yearning unashamed
Without hypocrisy and wastefulness;
Squander the strength he’s been endowed with;
Feign superiority as tunnel vision’s all he sees?


I’m trying to develop a superman;
Dionysus evolving into perfect humanity.

Gadding about helping each other get along
Won’t make us build the kind of man I see.
Inferiors are weak copies of betters
Printed on bad paper from old and worn-out plates now gone.

Selection, survivors mastering;
Bettering the species, irrespective of
Everything you’ve ever learned
About what’s right or wrong.

You hear the word, you’re quoting scripture that you learned
Originating from a deity.
But should that motivate your actions?
Such self-serving rewarding scheme. 
Yours or mine, that’s what both seem.

Melancholy . . .

 

It’s a melancholy world
When you can’t tell 
The stones from the pearls.
You can’t image what
My motives are 
Or what I’m feeling.
But the lights are bright
On Broadway
As the birds begin to sing.
As America pours her first
Cup of coffee,
It’s a melancholy world.

It’s a melancholy world 
Choosing between the 
Big brass ring or the girl.
I just can’t seem to 
Hold on to the dreams
I’ve worked so hard for.
But the crowd is there
At midnight 
And the party’s just begun.
There’s a gold invitation
That bears my name
But it’s gotten lost in the mail.
It’s a melancholy world.

The mirror holds the 
Same old dour reflection 
That it used to.
But the sun will rise 
In the morning,
And the stars will light the night.
If they just took the time;
Listened to my sad song.
It’s a melancholy world.

Treachery . . .

What’s in a name
Words are just words
Such compromise
Faithless was she
Deceitfulness; treachery
Breeching a trust; perfidious
No way to know 
Well in advance
Now it’s all clear
Reaped what she sowed
She had to go

Dishonor waits 
On perfidy
Rising above 
Your misery
False man forgets worldliness
Minus or plus; perfidious
Cowards and fools 
Hiding beneath lies
Accusat’ry
In you just like me
Will not die

Duplicity; two-facedness
Untrustworthiness confuses me
Such perfidy

Disloyalty
Baseless intrigue
Can it go on 
Indefinitely;
Perfidy?

Heart . . .

Sometimes the performance
Takes precedence over all,
Be there errors, be there clams.
Though, in length, may be deficient,
Compensation's found in the heart 
And the soul of the melody.

At least that's what I think.

Roomful . . .

 

Love,
Triumphs I’ve heard,
Over all.
Is it really true?
One 
Many-splendored thing,
Conquering 
Obstacles revealed.

Gathered for this occasion, 
Politely civil in a social dance.
Mannerly; respectful discourse,
All in a room that’s full of elephants.

Talk,
Civility, 
Must be maintained
So we don’t set them free.

How many people 
Exist right here in this place,
So much the same?
Pride always goes
Before the fall so they say.
It’s like a parade.

Don’t 
Think its your own 
Imagination ‘cause its it’s real.
Though, 
Circus-like true, 
These pachyderms cannot be viewed.
