“Dressed in Disguise” Written by: Jimmy N. Alvarez
I can’t wait to meet you
You’re one of a kind
Your special presence comes with a price to pay
Especially for me I’m the world’s biggest underdog
Chasing the world’s biggest trophy
The odds to have you are one in a billion
People say I’m crazy, for chasing the impossible
But crazy is what it takes to get you
You’re intrigued by my ways that only a real man can provide
I’m special kinda of guy, that’s made for only a chosen few
You waved to me from a far view, on the other side
...

Hope
Lately I've been so low
Like I've been in an eternal limbo
So morose
Talking to my own Shadow
But I guess I never had much Hope
About what the future may hold
I thought I lost it all; my humanity,
My soul,
To the devil I thought I sold
But now I know
That there's a God who saw it all, saw me lying on the floor
In an abyss, battered to the core
I thought I was too far gone to be saved anymore
Sucked into a black hole,
thinking if I could just take an extra dose
I'll drift away to a better place and all the pain would go ...

I rented a room @Dup.com
So I rented a room last week @Dup.com
Did you know it comes with free poetry
a view and free coffee?
My first night at the Inn I ventured
downstairs, hey? Did anyone know
Madame Lavender opened a Bar & Grill on Dup?
I also hear,the Doc, gives free
medical advice too :|
she's such a good ole gal "D
Anyway, a few regulars were scattered about
some were having drinks while others
were dancing enjoying the cool menthol...

I get my strength from cold places
One is only as weak as they allow themselves to be, one is only as strong as they force themselves to be
But from what I can see
One can't become strong just by trying to act strong
One can only heat steel for so long
After a while it will simply melt
To be strong, like steel, one must be constantly be dealt alternating and changing amounts of heat in the fire of. Love and positive thoughts
then quenched and hardened in the cold icy water of pain and loss
The world's strongest people are the ones who face the average highs of life and then face the worst possible...

At the Root of Me 0821
I know I can be a little senseless, but there’s one thing that’s on my mind…
Darling, I crave you like my lungs need air, with a hunger too much to bear,
That quenching my thirst simply will lead to more and more constant longing,
That this yearning goes beyond both the physical and the spiritual and maybe
You’re right, I’m obsessed…
But my heart knows full well the distinction between love and fascination,
And what we found in our lives in the spec of all time is something special,
That the sole purpose in my life is to live this...

Pirate Pete
PIRATE PETE
By Just Love Me
(c) September 20, 2013
Now Pirate Pete was Captain of a sailing pirate ship
He had a wooden leg that was fastened at the hip.
And every time he went to sea and sailed the ocean blue
He'd leave the port and harbour with a whole new bunch of crew.
Now I just so happened, to come upon the scene
As he recruited sailors inexperienced and green
I asked if I could ride along on this little trip
To see what things were really like aboard a pirate ship,
So Pirate Pete he says to me, "Sure, come up on board"

Birthday ode to my daughter
36 hours of labor
And a cesarean section
Saw you brought into this world
23 years ago to the day
I worked hard for you
Daughter mine
I'd do it all again
And that's saying something
Believe me
You're amazing
Have so many gifts
Blind to them
But they're there
Others can see
With lucid clarity
All the potential inherent
You'll have to trust
It's there
Yes
I'm your mother
And, I'm biased
It's in the DNA
But, I'm not so dense
I can't see who you are
In all your...

apology
Ive been putting alot in perspective.
So please try to be receptive.
Im sorry I never grew up the way you planned.
Or that I could never live up to the dreams that you had.
Im sorry I have a way of making you mad.
Or making you walk out on us dad.
☆I guess im sorry for being me
and all the thing I didnt see.
I guess im sorry for getting mad playin games and treatin ya bad.
I guess im sorry for treating you wrong.
Its another reason Im writting this song.
Im so sorry for being mean another reason im commin clean.☆

Looking down on a Cowtown
Oh the square, the city square,
I know it well, wait a minute
that’s not right, its over there
where I'm walking
in my funny
bunion shoes,
I cross the street
where again there's an idiot,
yet the titillating pavilion,
sweet sweet sweet, which suite eats
the doughnut treats, roger wilco
that man looked funny at me,
...
