One of a Kind

She is one of a kind
She is everything in everyway
She’s never easy to find
She’ll make you wait another day
I have experienced her hidden love
I see her in everything and everywhere
She can be a lighthouse in the distance
But sometimes the darkness is too thick
She lives on Grey Cloud Island
She loves her children
She is all in one
She flies multi-colored kites
She does what she can
She’s one of a kind
I wish she could see inside my heart
I loved her the moment our eyes met
I wish she was all mine
She is one of a kind

Desperate Cry

Here behind the walls inside
A zillion miles of fear we hide
Icy dreams fill empty souls
Lonely screams and no one knows
We are far out there
Crashing down
Sunshine on the outside
World spins round on a dark ride
I dare to dream from on High
A mother’s fear and a dim light
We’re all out there
Crashing down
When I try to remember
My reason for living
I think of You And forgot what I’m recalling
Every new morning
A child is born
Thrown in this world
Desperately torn

Anne

Anne gives nothing to me
Except a few moments of careful thought
And this is priceless
Anne likes to get lost
Sometimes I find myself wandering
As she makes circles around me
But I follow her like a pup
As I’m stuck wondering
If she’ll ever see the real me
I love you Anne!
Anne is not in love with me
But she has some love for me
Her main man beats her down
Anne runs back to him for more
After all she’s lost
I can understand that is
Anne’s way to learn
I love you Anne!
Anne said she doesn’t like to be alone
So I gave her everything I had
It’s clear to see
Where her friends come from
They only call if something is needed
Seems to me that she’ll always be alone
Except in the moments of love from on high
This fills my heart so I never need to worry
Knowing that her children are watching over her
And His love guides her to Him
I will always love my Anne and her children.

Rich Love Awesome Friends Forever and Always!!!

Anna and Arianna

Anna and Arianna I’ve been following you around for ages
I’ve been waiting for your kiss
I sure do love when you sing and drive
I want to be your babie’s daddy
Watch her grow into a woman
I want to give my heart to you and her
Sun shines and the skies blue
Birds fly and I love you
If I only had one wish
I think by now you know what that is
If I only had my arms around you
Sun shines and the skies blue
Birds fly and I love you

Rich Love Awesome Friends Forever and Always!!!

Dedicated to Anna Burke and Arianna (Sweet Baby).

You’re Fine

Pushed forward into a room full of blank faces. White walls, white floors, white ceilings, numbing white lights. Lives being changed forever in this emotionless pit. Souls being intentionally killed with the help of one little kit. Wheeled in, snipped and probed, it’s like a f*cking assembly line. Wake up, wipe the blood and tears, nurse says coldly, “you’re fine”. “You’re Fine”

Wander

Did you find a new bridge
Did you make it across
Did you give it a chance
Or was it another loss

Did you feel it give way
Did you see a blue sky
Did you dream it was real
Or were you flying too high

Lost on a ship out at sea
Secrets are kept from you and me
Lost on a trip behind a veil
Tears are wept as we set sail

But I still can’t help to wonder
Why I must go on a wander

Did you climb a mountain
Did you go the distance
Did you reach a lighthouse
Or was there some resistance

Did you hold someone close
Did you watch a sunset
Did you rise above hope
Or were you filled with regret

Lost on a ship out at sea
Secrets are kept from you and me
Lost on a trip behind a veil
Tears are wept as we set sail

But I still can’t help to wonder
Why I must go on a wander

Why must I wander
Why must I wander

This song asks the question what have you done with your life and it has a reincarnation theme which is part of my concept album. Also, this song will be featured on a commercial release “Wicked Garden: A Millennium Tribute to Stone Pilots” Information located in “The Rich Love Band” blog.

Souls

Souls,
The journey inward Leads to success of life
But some need to lose
And change their souls
Behind a curtain
You find a contestant Some of importance
Others have appearance In the active living journal
We meet the natural monster It develops and tends garden
As we come into the light
We’ll be there too
As we accept all dialogue
Inspired by community
That’ll reach all goals
With great insight Of the northern light
We’ll reach upon deep
Within our souls

Written in 2006 during an extreme manic-state locked inside the psych ward. What this poem says to me is that I understand that I don’t understand and I’m cool with that.

In Him I Trust

IN HIM I TRUST I’ve given up everything
Just for a taste of love
Looking back I’m carefree
With YOU above
In HIM I trust
I stand here looking out My prison cell window
I see nothing out there
Except YOU my lord
In HIM I trust
I don’t worry
If the people don’t believe me
I got YOU lord
It’s more than enough
In HIM I trust
I’m not crazy
And know YOU won’t neglect me
In HIM I trust

Yet, another poem written in the psych ward or as I call it “The Awakening Center.”

Eighty-five cents

Eighty-five cents
I come to you
I come to you
I got a blank check with insufficient funds in my bank
I got a credit card with the balance overdrawn
I got eighty-five cents in my pocket and to my name
I got a half tank of gas and I’m smoking my last cigarette
I’m driving on that long empty highway road to you
Baby, all that I need is you

A true story written while on the road to my girlfriend’s house many years ago.

The One Upstairs

The ONE upstairs loves HIS children on earth
Although we cannot see HIM, HE never leaves us
Only a few share HIS great divine secret
Now and then HE dresses up as man and comes downstairs.

Lucky for us GOD loves HIS creation so much
Through endless time HE has worn many coats
HE comes down among us for a while
Just for the sake of HIS children on earth.

A few share HIS secret while HE’S downstairs as man
He stays with us and plays with us
Laughs and suffers with us
GOD is ONE, the ONE and only, HE alone exists!!!

Trust in HIM by leaving all results entirely to HIM
Don’t worry, be happy. When HE drops HIS human form
It just means HE’LL be back again when we really need HIM
My heart belongs to HIM and to the moon and stars
Listen to the sound of the song bird within
Even when other people say it can’t done.

LOVE is available to everyone forever and ever!!!

This poem means more to me now than when I wrote it twenty years ago. The Rich Love Band says “don’t let drugs; mental-illness or other people stop your wildest dreams!!!”
