Tarot Dance

I sneaked out to watch a gypsy from afar

I could not take my eyes from her

Unobserved I stood beyond  the Lilac Tree

So that she could not see me


The Gypsy danced around a fire

The flames danced too and fanned out higher

Her hair flowed wildly twirled and twisted

Her feet were bare but not blistered


I could not take my eyes from her

A Gypsy girl with auburn hair

She cast a spell of  Sexual attraction
And led my mind to distraction

Her expression was that of feeling free

I stayed behind the Lilac tree

Will she continue her graceful dance

Or turn my gaze into a trance


I had heard that she could tell

Fortunes from her wishing well

She was pure and mesmerizing

with songs that she did sing

The fire was wild still full of flame

I wish that I could know her name


I could not take my eyes from her

A Gypsy girl with auburn hair

She cast a spell of  Sexual attraction
And led my mind to distraction

She saw me as I moved away

And beckoned me to come and stay

I smiled and wondered what could occur

If I obliged and sat with her


She offered Me a Place to sit 

Around the fire she had lit


She whispered to me and showed her cards

For Tarot reading was her art

Her Mind somehow did wander off

She dealt a card and held aloft


I could not take my eyes from her

A Gypsy girl with auburn hair

She cast a spell of  Sexual attraction
And led my mind to distraction

A Glow came from her chestnut eyes

As within the ember the fire dies

From the ash that blew away

Came a Steed" A dappled grey"


I jumped up quick and took my leave

And Homeward bound I ran with ease

I had the most magical night

The gypsy and I under moonlight


I could not take my eyes from her

A Gypsy girl with auburn hair

She cast a spell of  Sexual attraction
And led my mind to distraction

I may return someday soon

Under the light of the Magical Moon

And ask of her what of my fate?

Wish and hope its not to late


To tell her how I truly feel

A feeling I once tried to  conceal.


I could not take my eyes from her

A Gypsy girl with auburn hair

She cast a spell of  Sexual attraction
And led my mind to distraction.

Embrace The Day

 People will laugh when seeing you fall

Ignore get up and stand tall

Rains may come every now and then

Shake it off and never bend


Judging your journey Twisting truth

Stabbing your back throughout your youth

No matter how you manage to deter

The whispers and character slur


There will always be another side

Those that listen and never deride

Shadows surround you like a cloak

Dust and mirrors black with smoke


People will laugh when seeing you fall

Ignore get up and stand tall

Rains may come every now and then

Shake it off and never bend


Shadows may grow and consume your soul

You must grow and take control

The sound will grow your body will sway

Your heart to never be betrayed


The world is yours  so take your part

Enjoy the path with good heart

Walk tall and always show the world

Your wings to be always unfurled


People will laugh when seeing you fall

Ignore get up and stand tall

Rains may come every now and then

Shake it off and never bend


Ignore the negatives don't be swayed

Take positives without delay

You know right now of whom you are

Shine on like a super star


"Let the enemy guess" They don't know you

They have not the slightest clue

Don't give them a second thought

Their not welcome at your court


People will laugh when seeing you fall

Ignore get up and stand tall

Rains may come every now and then

Shake it off and never bend


You owe no proof of spiritual past

Laugh at those whom hate your heart

To this end you will see

Embrace the day just You and me.


Embrace the Day Just You and I 

Face upward and touch the sky

Embrace the day Just you and Me

Sha la la la la la lee ce' la vie ce'la vie





Mood swing

 The days are going oh so fast

Will my memory fade or last

Most of my days it seems

Lived in a haze like dreams


A cup of cheer would be so good

If it were made for Me

But its not knocking on my door

I wish it were but not to be


All seasons seem to come and go

Very fast or way too slow

Pass Me by like ships in the night

Days are dark just like nights


My mood hits hard when home alone

My mental state is on the phone

Calling me to cheer me up

But never ever fills my cup


A cup of cheer would be so good

If it were made for Me

But its not knocking on my door

I wish it were but not to be


I needed somebody in my life

Some one just for me

Then you came along with wisdom and song

Unconditionally lee lee lee lee lee lah lah lah lah  lee


A cup of cheer would be so good

If it were made for Me

But its not knocking on my door

I wish it were but not to be


Now even though the seasons pass

And winter days just last and last

The Darkness will be overcome

By Sunshine laughter and more fun.


"Whistle out the best of luck

Whistle out a tune

Whistle out the best of luck

See you summer very soon

" whistle whistle whistle whistle

Family Game Night

 Shuffle up the deck, Then deal those cards

Family game night, gonna be quite hard
To catch a hand from these game faces
Same old chair but different places

Who's bluffing, who's folding, what's behind that screen?
Is Bombay Sapphire really that mean

It's family game night yeah, it's that time again
Drinks from the kitchen, playing with all our friends
JD with cola, or maybe gin served with tonic or a grin
Tonight's the night for victory, we live in hope just wait and see

Sapphire Bombay straight up, Shake that dice and cup
Ludo is a game that takes some winning
While I'm taking shots, the Host starts grinning
As the dice once more lands on the floor,
Was that a five or maybe a four?

Throw it again you might get a six? I'll fill your glass " 
Its one of my tricks
Putting my game plan to one side
 while those poker secrets have nowhere to hide

"It's family game night yeah", it's that time again
Drinks from the kitchen playing with our friends
JD with cola, or maybe gin 
served with tonic, and a grin
Tonight's the night for victory, 
Tonight's the night just you wait and see

The stakes ain't high, just bragging rights
But every hand played, fuels flame and fights
A little bit of laughter, a little bit of bite
Just another perfect family game night

It's family game night, yeah, it's that time again
Drinks from the kitchen, playing with our friends
JD with cola, or maybe gin laced with tonic and a grin. 
Tonight's the night for victory, Tonight's the night just you wait and see

Yeah, game night, game night, till the morning light
Family game night, everything feels right.
Its so late so make it one last hand
Its 2 in the morning and bed sounds grand.

See You next week for a round of the same
Lets see if we can win a brand new game.

Bingo Bingo we are in love 
One more number send with love
Snake eyes snake eyes roll them dice
Give me a six and maybe twice
Roll em Roll em Roll em Roll em Roll em Roll em

 Hearts on a bow tied round Roses so cool

Complimented with a Chocolate Box too

Sent from somebody but not know who


They arrived by mail to my door today

"Special delivery the driver did say"

I never expected to receive such a gift

A surprise indeed that gave me a lift


Excitement swept through Me

I couldn't wait to read the card

The Name not known but tried so hard

To figure that maybe a secret admirer

Had meant to set my heart on fire


Written in ink upon the card

The Chocs were tasty "Shared with Mabel

As we knock them back with Budweiser.

Badge

 How's it possible to take a wrong turn?

After doing the knowledge? The hard way to learn

A taxi driver knows every short cut

The easy way  never stuck in a rut


So why then tell me how can a man

Go off track rather than

stay on the level while wearing the badge

with no chance of a re-match had


Thinking outside the box was your special strength

The whole nine yards taken with extra length


"Come back old friend You have a Mountain to climb"

The clock is running turn back time

Every extra mile please stay in touch

Wear the Badge that meant so much


You didn't finish the living that you paid for

Wear your badge and even the score


When a friend says something that makes you smile

Talks the talk and walks with style

why would they be dealt crippling pain

leaving the station on the wrong dam train


Dementia gets worse before you can blink

Your not able to plan, converse or think

You cant remember the good times or things so bad

You cant even drive or apologize without that badge


The Badge that tells me You were nobodies fool

The green Badge of honor in London real cool

You drove a black cab for so many years

The Badge now Blue we are reduced to tears


The favors you did and the house that you made

Became your sunlight and now your shade

I really wish you could come back

I could swop Dementia for a panic attack


"Come back old friend You have a Mountain to climb"

The clock is running turn back time

Every extra mile please stay in touch

Wear the Badge that meant so much


Your humor and laughter was often sincere

Lets go back to the bar and have a cold beer


I'm not sure how your memory loss

has taken away your personal cost

You paid your dues and always were there

For family and friends you always cared


"Come back old friend You have a Mountain to climb"

The clock is running turn back time

Every extra mile please stay in touch

Wear the Badge that meant so much


The time before last that I saw you

Told me everything but nothing new

I always knew you earned the respect

We will treasure your badge when nothing is left.


Your my friend and my special brother in law

A diamond on the fairway an Eagle par four

We take life for granted but take this from Me

We love You and miss you unconditionally.


Hey hey hey   hey hey hey

Pull over governor park in the bay

 Taxi man are you for hire

"TAKE US HOME" Is OUR HEARTS DESIRE


A rivers edge

 As I was upon a journey walking

I needed time to do some talking

To myself about my life

and how it mattered and seek advice


Along the stream my feet did clamor

awkwardly avoiding the grasses camber


The Stream flowed softly through the forest

as I stopped along the waters edge

I found a place to sit and rest


Rubbing my Eyes as if still asleep

Twilight stars within my reach

Spying Sparklets up ahead

Tiny lights amass and spread


A water fall spills from the sky

A wondrous site from way up high


The rocks and ferns soak up the splendor

A time of joy will be remembered

In amongst a cluster of light

Fairy wings flutter with delight


The Stream flowed softly through the forest

as I stopped along the waters edge

I found a place to sit and rest


I can feel the warmth of love around me

within my hearts true love and boundary

In the water an image of a Moon Divine

Filtering within a magical sign


It seems to me a beautiful dream

Where Fairy Queen and folk do gleam

Tales of wonder in my mind

Dare I return another time?


The Stream flowed softly through the forest

as I stopped along the waters edge

I found a place to sit and rest


Whether this is real or dream

These feelings will surely stay with me

I only thought that my gentle walk

would be away of inner talk


But to find such beauty all around

Is surely like a new love found


I will forever take from this

A hopeful thought to reminisce

Never again will I forget

The visual Vista of  this sunset


From this journey I will take

A secret moment before I wake


I found a place to sit and rest

As I stopped along the waters edge
 
I heard a ripple softly flow
As I stood again and turned to go

La la la la la la lee
The river bank water and Me
La la la la la la lay
Wishing to forever stay
