Luther A.K.A. Cape

Just a plain-spoken man, born in the hills where coal was king and whiskey stills filled the air with sweet perfume. With his two children and Ruby, his wife, he crossed the wide river to start a new life.Farming was good and babies? they added two. And moved on to Amity before it was through. After...

There Is A Man

I know of a man who lives on the street. Long dirty hair, no shoes on his feet. He remembers a lady so loving and true, and sits at the bar each night untill two; The smell of the jungle and taste of cheap wine, consuming his spirit and wasting his time. In a weak moment she enters his mind.... Sign in to see full entry.

Am I ? I Am !

Am I only a drop of water in the oceans of the world? A sigh in a windstorm? A speck of dirt on the earth? A bluetip match in a firey inferno? Insignificant piece of pond scum, maybe? I AM the endless sea... The driving force behind the storm. I AM the soil in the garden of life and the eternal... Sign in to see full entry.

Getting Over It

Out of time. Out of my home. My son said, " You're not alone. Come on in. It's okay, worry about it some other day". Catch my breath and rest a bit; Try to smile, get over it. Don't hang on to things of past; Talk to God, be free at last. Find a life that I will fit. I'm not a wife, get over it.... Sign in to see full entry.

He Was A Pretender

You speak of things you have not seen and brag of places you haven't been. You judge those you do not know and seek a stage to do your show. You strike a chord (and I strike back), to make up for the gold you lack. The days I leaned on you are gone, for good I have to say. For better or worse, in... Sign in to see full entry.

Where do I go?

Where do I go when my knees are weak and my mind Is wasted by fools who speak? What can I do to get along When every loser comin' up the pike thinks he's the one. Who can I trust to show me how to live a free and easy life. I'm not a corporate slave, and at this time no one's wife. Friend of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Once Upon A Dream Of Mine

Once upon a dream of mine, another life another time; I sat upon a beautiful horse- doubting myself- but, seeking my course. I saw a road, then two and three. Which one would be good for me? I rode down the lane and stumbled around; My horse disappeared, I was on the ground. The broken glass and... Sign in to see full entry.

Desert Storm Christmas

As the sunshine turns to rain, as pleasure turns to pain, There's always time for change. Freedom turns to imprisonment, equality was a real God-sent, The common man is ignored by government, Politics cause hate and discontent. Tax brackets set for upper-class, laws take away and new bills passed.... Sign in to see full entry.

Headache 1985

I got up out of bed, tried to ease my pounding head, Thought I heard somebody at the door. There was no one there it seems, another sad and lonely dream, Just like many other times before. You left me several months ago; you took my heart and my Stereo, left my here not knowing what to do. I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

A Sarcastic Afterthought

I see before me a broken life, behind me only shame; The present is nothing but agonizing pain. Glory is forgotten, wonderment is gone; Where is the love I so depended on? Lost in the calm after the storm, Where hate-filled pity and anger is born. Strength in our love has turned me to stone, Has... Sign in to see full entry.
