Almost There.


Almost there 
but it’s taken me years
you can forget that old cliché 
about blood, sweat and tears
It’s more like busting my ass 
each weekend, year after year
singing in backwater dives 
for no one who cared to hear.

no one really cared to hear.

Playing covers that never 
seemed to cover the fact
that I was struggling each day 
to write my own damn tracks
with voracious bill collectors
always giving me flack 
till all the efforts I made have
finally cut me some slack
cause my wallets grown fat
yeah my wallets grown "FAT!:
Yeah, babe I’m back in the black
oh, yeah I'm back in the black.

Almost there.......

Yeah I’m almost there
but it’s taken forever
I had to learn to reach farther 
then my last endeavor
I had to satisfy the audience
with something more clever 
I’ve got doors opening up 
and I’m ready to enter
Fame is holding my ticket
and I’ll see you all stage center.
I'll see you all stage center

And like I promised you baby
we are almost there
though you spent so many 
weekends with me off somewhere
you waited for me faithfully 
with love to share
and though I may never 
ever be a Millionaire
I’ve got more than any riches
with your love so rare
There’s almost nothing else
the world can offer 
that compares
Except you saying "yes,"
to that white wedding
because my life was a mess
but you get me through the stress, 
by always being there 
to bless my tribulations 
with your sweeeeeet administrations of love..
and now you're all I’m dreaming of
and I can’t be at the top
if your sweet love were to stop
No I can’t be at the top
If your sweet love were to stop.

Let’s make a contract for 
that isle wedded bliss
where two are always two 
and one is never spoken
and promises are never broken

Where the fruits of 
love are abundant
and so damn easy reach.
let’s spend our lives together
on that warm, sunny beach
your love is all that I need
Your love is all that I need…………………………Baby

Almost There!!

We’re almost there, baby
Let’s take those joyous steps together
In a long walk to forever
forever in love Baby
Forever in love……..

The Hollow-Days Of Addiction.
(A Christmas message for all )

Christmas has come back again
For the third year in a row
And we haven't seen 
our precious son
Ever since he had to go
To jail then off to rehab
Then violating 
two probation's
the court ordered no contact
So we've had no conversations
Cause he'd abused 
his Mom so much
Leaving her soul terrified
and came after me so angrily
Every time that he got high
we both tried in 
every way we could
But then we had to say goodbye....


Christmas on drugs and alcohol 
Was never a good mix
Hanukkah plus cruel addictions
Just brings candle sadly lit
Santa Claus and faith in God
Are not enough to bring a fix
Only he can save himself
No one else can heal his needs
That have made both our hearts bleed
while he spends his hollow days
Struggling to find ways to succeed.


He'll spend another Christmas
In sober living all alone
Far away from both his parents
Knowing that he can't come home
And it cuts us deeply to the bone
Cause our tough love is no fun
But drugs and alcohol have stolen
Our most precious son
Until he proves that he is cured
and his addictions are all done.

So if you too are like our son
Suffering the same afflictions
I hope this poem moves you to flee
Back to the true life 
you've been missing
Because those who 
love you can't survive
Living with the endless friction
Of your lies and thefts 
And thier hopes left swept
Underneath your opposition
Your loved ones all must separate
themselves from your positions
Of your loving highs even as they cry
Over your tragic conditions
Leaving you alone 
while they sit at home
Praying for you and each one wishing
That you will give all that you've lost
Some serious recognition
Before you end up lying 
Under a marble inscription
that leaves them all 
Without your love
Another victim of addiction
so many others just like you 
Have faced Death's Benedictions....

This poem is dedicated to ny son,
my only child who has been 
through his fault alone absent from
my wife and I for 3 years
