Jukebox Girl

 Drinking a shake In my favorite booth,

Looking real cool, acting oh so smooth Then you walk in with your cute little smile Your pony tail swing is driving me wild

Tell me darling, What’s happening to me ? My heart is the lock and she holds the key I’m sitting here all on my own Hey, little girl can I walk you home Walking to a seat in time with the beat You’re the girl I’ve been longing to meet Your friends surround you laughing out loud I wanna be the guy hanging with your crowd She walks to the juke box to put on a tune And passes by me ,I can smell her perfume, "Is there a song that you’d like on replay"? I’m too mesmerized so have nothing to say She walks away with a smile on her face That's the girl I wanna hold and embrace

Doo wop a doo wah doo wop a doo

The Juke Box sings Run around Sue Tell me darling, What’s happening to me ? My heart is the lock and she holds the key I’m sitting here all on my own Hey, little girl can I walk you home I Finish my shake and head for the door Looking over my shoulder to see her once more She is looking at me and is out of her seat Crossing the room , I can hear my heart beat Taking my hand as I open the door Loves on the cards I’m hoping for sure Everyone’s watching the girl of my dreams My head held high with my high school queen.

Tell me darling, What’s happened to me ? My heart has a lock and now you hold the key I’m with you now so no longer alone Hey, little girl lets walk you home

Doo wop a doo wah doo wop a doo

Lets dance along to Dee on's run around Sue

Doo wop a doo wah do wop a doo

Doo wop a do wah do wop a doo

Afterglow Path

When My light turns off its time to go

Into a world of afterglow

I close my eyes a tunnel appears

I'm going in despite my fears

Daylight fades as I drift down

A calming whisper the only sound

My Heart starts to race in anticipation

Colored Orbs filter illumination

Surrendering Deep within my Mind

Seeking the shapes so defined

Tumbling Down into a darkened world

The wings of Angels become unfurled

Dancing among the Shadows cast

Covered in color and fairy dust

Ushered to take a brand new path

I keep a foot on the other half

The new path untouched no shadows cast

Purple and red Orbs fly straight past

Above the path just out of reach

The sound of waves on a lonely beach

The sands of time forever untouched

I admire the view "yes love it so much"

Daylight streams in to my path ahead

I wake up so calm within my bed

Now after floating towards the new paths glow

I feel refreshed so beautiful

Trying to remember the colorful scene

Realizing it only to be a dream

Maybe I can return tonight

When the light turns off to reveal my sight

The Sandman will surely cast as pure

My wondrous thoughts and vision secure.

Wireless Days

 Since my wireless days with music and song

It helped Me feel like I belonged Singing new words that I never could say Feeling my heart beat a different way Songs that showed a meaning with love Making two hearts fit like a glove Harmonies and sweet soul sounds Moved your Mind and your body around Songs that made you ache inside When love has taken away your pride Before you know it you’re looking forlorn And searching for a bright new dawn

Since my wireless days with music and song

It helped Me feel like I belonged Singing new words that I never could say Feeling my heart beat a different way Music and songs are for everyone The Sad Melodies and the hits are fun Just the rhythm and instrumental sound Makes the heart jump to leaps and bounds The tunes are forever in your soul Bound together for you to behold You feel happy and sad for a sweet refrain

Get on board the Motown train

Since my wireless days with music and song

It helped Me feel like I belonged Singing new words that I never could say Feeling my heart beat a different way Songs for each kind of emotion Little Eva sings Locomotion We recognize the tunes that we like From the Seventies and Truck on Tyke Songs and fashion no longer mix No intro's words or guitar licks They have no chorus and make no sense I prefer the 60s to the present tense.

Since my wireless days with music and song

It helped Me feel like I belonged Singing new words that I never could say Feeling my heart beat a different way

Rock N Roll Years

The years have gone by oh so fast Not noticing the shadows cast When we were young without a care Taking for granted the morning air

Life was a breeze and we had fun Fresh faces under the midday sun Music and fashion always went together We thought these trends would last forever

We loved those rock and roll years when Elvis was king When teenage girls flocked to hear him sing

But time moved on and the music changed Fashion and music became disengaged Clean cut hair styles with shirts and suits Instead of Denim and Baseball Boots

Girls twirled around in petticoat frills Cute pony curls with beads of pearls Jukebox tunes played in the milkshake bar Keeping kids entertained like stars

We loved those rock and roll years when Elvis was king When teenage girls flocked to hear him sing

So many dances came with the years Platform Sneakers and snakes skin gear We loved Rock n Roll, and the Lindy hop

Motown, Disco and Bubble gum pop I wish that time had not eroded A time when life for Teens exploded When music and fashion were fabulous For everyone yeah every one of us

We loved those rock and roll years when Elvis was king

When teenage girls flocked to hear him sing

But even though I'm now old I still remember the songs so Gold I would sort and buy with pocket money Then listen along with my Honey I still have memories of those yesterdays Now time stands still for me in many ways I can hear a melody from a favorite song And it makes me wanna dance all day long

Yeah we loved the years when Elvis was king

When my honey and I would watch him sing

Scrying Bowl

 Eyeing deep down in my scrying bowl

I asked a question "Would it know"? Digging deeper into my thoughts Within the bowl an image it brought I stared inside with hesitant eyes I hoped it would not tell me lies The question on my mind this night Would my love ever leave my sight

I knew that his heart was hurt And did not deserve to be so cursed But the love he had for someone else Caused me to make a dark love spell At last a clear image appeared It was just as I had feared I could see the light around the rim As the Scrying Bowl began to dim I should have stopped but waited to see If the love he felt was just for me Mixing the potion in my haste I de-cantered the drink so as not to waste

I knew that his heart was hurt And did not deserve to be so cursed But the love he had for someone else Caused me to make a dark love spell

It kept really well until today

I poured it out to display Knocking it down the wishing well I ruined my dream and my spell

The scrying bowl Vision rapidly faded And now it seems my time was wasted Here's hoping he shows me one true love Or will I have to mix potions in My Jug

Maybe I should stand aside

And even be my own true guide

Try winning now a new lovers heart

while wishing him well while were apart.

I felt really well until today

I poured my heart out to display

I ruined the Magic of my spell

Knocking it down the wishing well.

Three Parts

 Three parts Sand and one of Cement

With added ballast to show that we meant

The foundation and Footings of True love

Would stay strong and stand proud with us

Standing on stone and solid ground

Would be the base from which we were found 

Nobody gave help "We built it from scratch

It came from desire with a love heart attached

Three parts Sand and one of cement

Mixed with water and our intent

To make us stronger than paper and Glue

The strength of Us "Yeah just Me and You"

We didn't need to get permission

To raise a family while on our Mission

To Share the love formed from our tools

The pavement the road the family jewels

People often said " How do you do it"

You would not need to ask if you had been through it

Its Hard work and a skilled craft

Building Family and Friends meant to last

Three parts Sand and one of Cement

With added ballast to show that we meant

The foundation and Footings of True love

Would stay strong and proud with us

People will recognize the lines on your face

 The Foundation you use just cant erase

The love and hard work above the ground

Will always be there forever Found

Three parts Sand and one of cement

Mixed with water and our intent

To make us stronger than paper and Glue

The strength of Us "Yeah family too

Painted Lady

 Red, yellow, black and blue

Soft wings flying into view
So many colors that flutter by
Words to describe, Our Butterfly

Little wonders, how they gleam
Living out a painted dream
Red Admiral Holly Blue
Tortoise Shell and Monarch too


Oh, the butterflies, they dance and soar
To the Buddleia at my back door
Colorful and cabbage white
Joy reflected taking flight


Faint breezes blow as they pass through
Whispering secrets, fresh and new
They wait so long to spread their wings
But when they do, my heart just sings

A silent song of gentle grace
Leaving smiles upon my face
Orange Tip Swallow Tail
On the wind they gently sail

Oh, the butterflies, they dance and soar
To the Buddleia at my back door
Colorful and cabbage white
Joy reflected taking flight

From a tiny chrysalis, a world unfolds
Stories whispered, brave and bold
Each a masterpiece, a fleeting art
A gentle rhythm in my heart


Oh, the butterflies, they dance and soar
Bringing beauty to my door
Small, large, or a medium size
Joy reflected in their eyes

Wings of wonder, light and free
Nature's gentle melody
Flying high for all to see
A painted lady with Honey Bee

Oh, the butterflies, they dance and soar
To the Buddleia at my back door
Colorful and cabbage white
Joy reflected taking flight
