Goodbye My Friend

Rich Love — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 23:57:58 +0000

Do you know how much I miss you my friend
We had a love most couldn’t comprehend

You will always be in my heart
You were there from the start
Now you’re long gone
And I have to carry on

The waves of time are passing by through my tears
But I have learned to just let go of all my fears

Goodbye my friend we had some fun
And we will always be together as one
I will never forget you or the love we shared
And how much you cared you were always there

You will always be in my heart
You were there from the start
Now you’re long gone
And I have to carry on, I have to carry on

I sing this song to you with my heart
And now I say to you goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye my friend

A Note:
I took care of my grandmother against family wishes so she could live at home before her death. I ended up in hospital from the pressure of family and the stress from doctors. This is a goodbye poem to granny and my mom as well. My mom chose not to make peace with her mother so now we won’t have that… maybe in the next life my mother and family will realize my love was never about grandmother’s money.

It’s Another Day

Rich Love — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 00:38:39 +0000

It’s another day
I can happily say
It’s another day
And I feel okay

There’s nothing you can do
To change my point of view

I’m feeling like I fit into a plan
I know I’ve been a desperate man

It seems like the sun is shining only for me
I know I can move across the deep blue sea

It’s another day
I just want to play
It’s another day
Feels like a holiday

There’s someone watching over me
When I’m not able to see

I’m feeling like I fit into a plan
I know I’ve been a desperate man

It seems like my world is coming together
I know I can brave any bad weather

It’s another day
I can happily say
It’s another day
And I feel okay

Cenovia

Rich Love — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 23:18:59 +0000

Cenovia how I wondered if I would see you again
Cenovia how I wondered if I could ever explain

I lost your contact when I failed to call back
But when I saw you again nothing had changed oh no
You were the same so sweet

Cenovia you are who I’ve been waiting for
Cenovia we can let love open the door

I will hold you close and never let you go
I will always be your loving man oh yeah
Your biggest fan

“Dedicated to the only woman who truly believes in me.”
“I love you and your children with all of my heart always and forever.”

Everyone Cries Sometimes

Rich Love — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 23:53:37 +0000

Everyone cries sometimes
When your world has gone cold and hopes are low
Everyone cries sometimes
When your life is on hold and troubles overflow

You can cry when you’re happy
You can cry when you’re sad
It’s a natural emotion we all have had

Everyone cries sometimes
When your friends fade away and love is strange
Everyone cries sometimes
When your mind wants to stray to avoid change

You can cry when you’re happy
You can cry when you’re sad
It’s a natural feeling we all have had

Early in the morning the dream comes alive
People in motion living day by day
Love creates the universe for our souls to strive
People working together finding a better way

It’s all right, it will be all right
It’s all right, we’ll be just fine (Come on, come on, come on)
Join together as brothers and sisters (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Change the world, we can do this together

Everyone cries sometimes
When the news is tragic and filled with death
Everyone cries sometimes
When your heart aches as you take the last breath

You can cry when you’re happy
You can cry when you’re sad
It’s a natural emotion we all have had

This is my first written song with music after turning 40 last week and I didn’t cry on my birthday. I’m very happy with my life and the direction it’s going.

Bad Love Song

Rich Love — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 21:29:01 +0000

I know nothing about you
I know nothing about you

She opened the door and I started the engine
I looked in the rear view mirror and I listened

Bad love at first sight
Bad love at first sight

I thought I knew something about you
I thought I knew something about you

I should have heard the people around me
Her using ways were reserved for another
I gave her my car as a desperate plea
Never imagined my giving love for a mother

Bad love black as night
Bad love black as night

I loved you endlessly
I loved you like a fool
You kept me hanging
Until I lost my cool

I know nothing about you
I know nothing about you

Blind Disguises

Rich Love — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 22:20:38 +0000

Blind disguises within those empty eyes
Blind disguises never realizing

Is it one of your lines
That you use on me
Is it just one last time
For you to leave me blind

Blind disguises within those empty eyes
Blind disguises within those cold eyes
Blind disguises within those empty eyes
Blind disguises never realizing

One of the first teenage tunes I wrote when I blame girls for my troubles.

Through You

Rich Love — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 01:08:53 +0000

My walls are closing in
It’s time to begin
When I offer my imperfections
My life can begin

Did you find your place in life
Did you explore your dreams
Or were you running too fast
Experiencing a world of extremes

Love flows through you
I receive love through you

The Sound

Rich Love — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 01:06:16 +0000

I can’t believe my eyes
Distorted views decay within
In a world of vanity
How does love stand again

It seems like I’m sinking deep
Drowning in the sea
And every time I try to rise
I’m down on my knees

Children ride bicycles in busy streets
Without traffic lights
We keep spinning around
Waiting here to ignite

It seems like I’m falling fast
Rocks are crashing down
And every time I try to stand
I here the sound

This was written during my drug days so I had to think about this one before posting it. I think what it says to me is that no matter how bad things appeared on the outside, inside on the back burner God’s calling was loud enough for me to hear. Twenty-five years later His voice has become clearer as I open my heart to others.

Queen Without A King

Rich Love — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 00:53:00 +0000

She’s always talking about everyone else
She’s a little too prefect too good for herself
Her life is a palace she knows everything
And I know that’s why I’m not her king

She’s a queen she’s searching
She’s a queen without a king

She lives a queen’s life with who she’ll choose
Just when she’s winning that once more to loose
She’ll dream of another, she’ll fantasize
For someone to be there and dry her eyes

(When she cries)

She’s a queen she’s waiting
She’s a queen without a king

Highway Standoff

Rich Love — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 00:29:30 +0000

Live with details and blown out tires
Thank God there were no casualties
Pour out your feelings driver
We don’t want your big story
It’s the second time this week
Another highway standoff

Why can’t you tell me what you really want from me
Sometimes I feel the need to escape somewhere beyond the sun
Somewhere beyond all this I see

Downhill

Rich Love — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 23:34:29 +0000

People taking chances without any rhythm or reason
I can’t help from wondering if every day is a big story
Living gets harder by the moment when you’re going downhill
It takes all I have not to lose myself in worry

I’ve been up and down round and round
And when I believe to understand things
I’m the farthest from the truth

Every day seems the same as yesterday
Sometimes I can’t help from feeling angry with today

I’ve been coasting downhill living wild
I think about the choices I’ve made and the damage done
I’m just coasting along

There’s a child inside and he likes to hide
Don’t know why I act like an imbecile
I’m further from the truth than ever before

It’s downhill from here on out
But I’m not letting it ruin my tomorrow
And every time I think I’m ahead
I’m further behind than ever before

I’m living for tomorrow
And slowly changing the choices I made today
By being here now.

The sun is always shining behind the clouds. In my twenties I always knew how to think from the end even during my lowest point. I’ve always wanted more for others than wanting for myself even if I appeared self-centered at times. It was the only process I knew how to change my life and street drugs helped in that journey of self-discovery. Begin to see the good in the bad and learn to be an appreciator of all walks of life.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Dream Within A Dream

Rich Love — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 23:37:14 +0000

It was nearing sunset
Somewhere in a dream within a dream
As I stood facing the end of day
I felt love whisper in my ear

Within every single moment
Within every whimsical stage
I heard the leaves whirl and wind whistle
I am still dreaming

When you come to know and realize love
This illusion vanishes like a dream in the night

After a timeless period that flows again and again
Where space and time are nowhere I will awake

Bleary-eyed

Rich Love — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 22:16:11 +0000

I’m openly confused and bleary-eyed
I’m waiting for something bigger than myself
Diving for pearls and searching for freedom
Let me drown in the ocean of love

Evolve and awaken me from on High
Merge me with You keep love close
Give me a key to unlock closed doors
Let my soul forever soar

Stand up, reach out, hold on and listen for the call.

Everybody is saying

Rich Love — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 23:52:12 +0000

Everybody is saying
That there’s something wrong with me
But everybody is running
And they never move at all
Everyone is happy
Behind a veil of illusion
But someday from the fence they will fall
Everybody is saying
Without truly doing
Everybody is dreaming
Pointing fingers in blame
Just because I won’t play their game

This was written by an angry man (me) sitting in the psych ward. If we don’t begin listening instead of hearing the cries of the insane there will be endless tragedy within the world caused by the mentally ill.

Coming Back (Part Two)

Rich Love — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:26:20 +0000

My record’s bad, my love is sad
I long for you, I’m coming back

Coming back, coming back
Don’t you cry babe, I’m coming back

They locked me up for getting mad
So don’t you cry girl, I’m coming back

Coming back, coming back
Don’t you cry babe, I’m coming back

Girl, I’ll never lie as long as you’ll take me back
So don’t you cry my pet, I’m coming back

Hey babe, do you want me back
I need to know the real fact
Let me take you by the hand
Take you with me to see the band

(Bass solo)

Coming back, coming back
Don’t you cry babe, I’m coming back

My record’s bad, my love is mad
I long for you, I’m coming back
I believe you’ve been messing with a number of men
Don’t expect to see them again ’cause I’m coming back

Coming back, coming back, coming back

Too Close

Rich Love — Fri, 30 May 2008 01:10:37 +0000

I saw you holding him too close, too close
You had me believing you almost, almost

I’m not looking back on the shadows of the past
But sometimes, I’ll think of you and the love that was too last

Step back, won’t you please your too close
You were my first love and now your back, back again
In the beginning we were shining that made us close
But after a while I could see the rain and the end

I’m not going to follow you through the shadows of the past
I like it the way it is not too close not too fast

Sunday Driver (Part Two)

Rich Love — Wed, 28 May 2008 01:01:42 +0000

It doesn’t matter if the forecast is blue
Especially if his wheels are stuck in voodoo
Spinning around until he’s out of fuel

Never seems like the sun will ever shine
While he drives down the passing lane
Leaving it all beyond the beyond
Mentally stuck in the turn lane

May never turn back home again
He doesn’t care (Sunday Driver)
He’s taking a ride lost behind the wheel
Driving for miles and miles

He never smiles as he passes you by
It doesn’t matter if there’s nothing for him to do
He never minds flying too high
It doesn’t matter to him coo coo kachoo

Meth

Rich Love — Wed, 28 May 2008 00:41:13 +0000

Sometimes you just can’t be still
and freeze the endless movement of your body parts.
Especially your mouth that’s been running amok
for six hours consecutively without a break.
I know people are watching me at work, in public
and even family when I get a chance to pull away to visit.
The sadness in their eyes tells the story of the death
and loss of a loving son that was on his way to bigger things.

Now darkness invades the best of me.
I roam through life passing my time with no true experience.
I’ve even consciously turned my back to my Master who gives love.
I’ve never needed to breath more than I do now.

This was written during the end of summer 2005 at work high on junk. It was the last thing I ever wrote high on drugs. Shortly after this written statement I found myself closer to recovery. I had been up for five days then fell out for a few hours. When I awoke, I didn’t know if it was day or night. I began sobbing for hours nonstop and I couldn’t stop it. I’m sure the neighbors heard me as I made a chicken sandwich in my kitchen. It was as if I was standing outside of my body observing this event within a dream. I went back to sleep for a few more hour. This time when I woke up, I felt fine and thought what a bad dream. I went to my kitchen and found the mess I made. That was the last day I used streets drugs to get high.

I’m Leaving (Part Two)

Rich Love — Wed, 28 May 2008 00:33:08 +0000

You can’t tell me what to do
You know its just not like you
You phone me up you feel small
You cry to me like rainfall

Sometimes I just want to get away from your face and start new

Smile for me and let go
Fill this empty place of soul
Don’t lock me up deep inside
You held my heart, but it died

Each time I see you I want to run and hide to stay away

Leaving is hard, but I’ll survive
I won’t look back I must fly
Don’t cry to me deep inside
You held my love, but it died

Nice to know you, but I must be on my way to keep me sane

Amazing Sojourn

Rich Love — Tue, 27 May 2008 20:59:16 +0000

(A Slice of Life Shorts)

A Slice:
I hear that steam train
Coming down the rails
Its not the noise that’s moving
The mighty machine
Its not even the man inside
The monster.

A Slice:
Eating inside pocket size diners
Operating in coffee shop housing
Spending more in restaurants routinely
Then going home to the kitchen counter.

A Slice:
Time will tell
When there’s nothing left to see
And some will have hell
When other’s problems set them free

Mountains have been climbed
One rock at a time
You can’t always see the top
But the bottom is always clear

I move along
And sometimes it seems
I crawl.

A Slice:
I don’t belong here
Can’t you see by now
I’ve come a long way
And I’m staying right here

Be here now
Be right here
No way else to be
No where else to be
But here with YOU.

A Slice:
Everyone must come to an end
Pressure builds, the body declines again
Streams of light flow in a place of love
True love can overcome any obstacles
Pledging our lives and our hearts to one another
True everlasting friendship impacts our life.
